The Philadelphia Phillies started off slow this season, but have already quickly picked up the pace. They currently sit at 19-10 and are 8-2 over their last 10 games. Their pitching staff has been solid, and their hitting has been consistent. After trips to the World Series and NLCS in back to back seasons, can the Fightin’ Phils make another run?
One key factor that will play a major role in the Phillies' ability to make another World Series run is the performance of their roster. The Phillies have some talented hitters on their team, including Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, Alec Bohm, Bryson Stott and Nick Castellanos. They also have some dangerous pitching from Zack Wheeler, Ranger Suarez and Aaron Nola. They will need all of their players to be firing on all cylinders if they hope to make it back to the World Series.
Another factor that will impact the Phillies' chances of making another World Series run is the strength of their competition. The National League is home to several talented teams, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers and Atlanta Braves, all of whom will be formidable obstacles for the Phillies to overcome. In order to make it back to the World Series, the Phillies will need to be able to compete with and beat these tough opponents in the regular season and playoffs.
The Phillies will also need strong leadership and coaching in order to guide them to another World Series appearance. Manager Rob Thomson will play a crucial role in motivating his players, making strategic decisions, and keeping the team focused on their ultimate goal of winning a championship. He made some questionable decisions in the crunch of last postseason. Tomson’s experience and leadership will be key in helping the Phillies navigate the ups and downs of a long and grueling 2024 season.
I see the Phillies making another deep playoff run. Their starting lineup and their pitching rotation will be crucial. I can see them beating anyone in the NL. When the Phillies get hot, they are absolutely scorching. It is very difficult to get to the World Series twice in three years, but they are very capable of doing so.
