The Philadelphia Phillies suffered a 7-5 loss to the Miami Marlins after leading 4-1 going into the seventh inning. Their bullpen's inability to protect the lead, particularly following a strong performance by starter Jesús Luzardo, has raised concerns among media analysts. As the Phillies continue to face struggles with their bullpen, notable players like ex-Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano have been demoted, contributing to further criticism. The early season challenges highlight the potential impact of this loss on the team's postseason aspirations.
Just because it's April doesn't mean that Philadelphia media will let the Phillies off the hook for blowing Sunday's game against the Marlins.
The errors committed, the blunders committed, they wasted a great performance by Jesús Luzardo.
The [Phillies] bullpen is a problem. I know it's early in the season, but I think the bullpen is turning into a little bit of a problem.
This is a game that they just gave away. And it was funny, we did the seventh inning hit and my first thought was, 'They've been letting this team off the hook too much.'
