Arguably the Phillies’ biggest weakness in the start to a season that’s been full of them is left-handed pitching.

Clearly, the Phillies need all the […]

In the Mets’ loss to the Nationals yesterday, several of the team’s most glaring deficiencies were on full display, but David Peterson and Sean Manaea, the team’s pair of struggling left-handed pitchers, stood out the most. Neither pitcher looks competitive at the moment, and while the team’s lineup might be its downfall anyway, it sure […]
