Following a terrible start for the Philadelphia Phillies, the team’s problems persisted after a 4-2 defeat against the Atlanta Braves, which was the team’s 10th loss in the previous 13 games and its fifth consecutive loss overall. Star Kyle Schwarber would offer insight into how he feels about the Phillies’ slow start, even if some people in the baseball community aren’t concerned.
Philadelphia has played its past nine contests at home, but Sunday’s defeat would still leave the team with a 2-7 record for the homestand, which is undoubtedly cause for concern for the organization. Schwarber, in particular, expressed his frustration in the defeat against Atlanta by pounding his helmet to the ground on the game’s final out, even if he believes that their good fortune is “inevitable. “
“We’re all working hard, whether we’re in the locker room or the dugout. We are all taking the necessary actions. All of us have the same goal in mind: to keep improving. Chasing hits, chasing results, chasing all of that, that is not the way to go about it. The manner the men are working in here makes me feel that it is unavoidable every day. It can’t be avoided. Todd Zolecki quoted Schwarber as saying that “at some point, it’s going to change. “
The Phillies are optimistic about a turnaround in their season.
After the game, Phillies manager Rob Thomson would keep it real and admit that the club is in a “lot of frustration,” but he would also say that it will get better. Schwarber would even remark that the club has “been in these spots before. “
“Nobody wants to be in this situation to begin the year. Nevertheless, according to Zolecki, “this club understands how to get out of holes, continue fighting, and continue to put ourselves in position to win games. “
Philadelphia may be able to rediscover its winning streak, but the next seven games are all on the road, beginning Monday night with a four-game series against the Chicago Cubs.
