Will the real Phillies please stand up? After a rough start, the bats are alive with Trea Turner leading the way. Is this finally the team we thought we'd see after last year's run?
Trea Turner is swinging the bat much better.Kyle Schwarber, while not hitting for average, continues to crush baseballs out of the yard.In fact, he may end up being the Phillies' lone representative at All-Star Game in Seattle next month.
Meanwhile, the pitching has gotten better and the team is getting healthier with the returns of Bryce Harper and Jose Alvarado - two key pieces.The biggest worry for this team going forward will be that fifth starter spot and the bullpen.And they have to make sure Aaron Nola returns to ace form.That clock is not going anywhere anytime soon and the Phillies won't either if Nola can't get himself straightened out.
