So, while Phillies fans are gnashing their teeth about how this season has started, a former Phillies' outfielder had a smashing season debut with his new club on Tuesday.

Will the Phillies finally acknowledge the outfielder's flaw, which is staring them in the face? It has been a strange start to the 2025 season for Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh. In case you've been living under a rock, he's currently mired in the slump of all slumps. It got so bad that Phillies manager Rob Thomson decided to give Marsh what was supposed to be a few days off to clear his head, but ended up being just one game.

The lineups are set as the Phillies try to bounce back against the Giants on Tuesday. The Philadelphia Phillies (9-7) will try to right the ship on Tuesday after falling flat on their faces on Monday night in the series opener at Citizens Bank Park. Opening a four-game series with the San Francisco Giants (12-4), the offense started strong but fell silent once again in the 10-4 loss. The Phillies scored three runs in the first inning, forcing Giants starter Landen Roupp to throw 36 pitches.

Glaring flaw could hold back Phillies' top outfield prospect despite strong start

Can Justin Crawford overcome the one problem that has dogged him throughout his minor league career? The Philadelphia Phillies are off to a strong start this season. Despite some concerning individual performances, with an 9-5 record, the star-studded roster is performing how we thought it would, more or less. But it's not just the big club that's off to a good start this season. Down in Allentown, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs are off to just as good a start, if not better.

The Phillies dropped the opener 2-0 on Friday, in a snooze fest of a performance that saw the offense held to three hits and two walks despite only striking out four times. Phillies manager Rob Thomson even unveiled a new lineup for the game, with second baseman Bryson Stott leading off.
