The Philadelphia Phillies were the best team in baseball in May.
But it made sense to everybody.
It was early in the season and they were racking up wins against sub-.500 ball clubs.
That didn’t fit the national narrative.
Pretty good team playing against dog shit opponents.
Clearly water would find its level eventually, right?
Today is July 11th.
The Phillies just became the first team in the MLB this season to reach 60 wins.
Have they just played 60 games against truly atrocious opponents?
I mean there can’t be THAT many bad teams in the league.
Turns out it is something entirely different.
Surely that can’t be right.
We were told the Phillies would come crashing back to reality once their schedule got tougher.
And to see them go out there on a nightly basis to discredit that narrative?
It’s disrespectful to all the take havers out there.
