Everything was looking great for the Phillies on Monday.

They swept the Rangers in Texas over the weekend. They won Monday in Cincinnati to take a six-game lead over the Mets in the NL East. But the Phillies have lost three in a row since then, including Thursday night’s loss to the Nationals in DC. What’s happening offensively? Is it time for more Max Kepler in right field? Nick Castellanos’ .493 OPS since the All-Star break is the third-worst in baseball. His -0.8 WAR is the worst.

The Phillies are moving to a six-man rotation. We think it’s a great idea.

Kyle Schwarber got a hero’s welcome this week in Cincinnati. It upset some people. We think that’s ridiculous. We explain why.
