Phillies bullpen struggles resurface in painful Game 1 loss
Original: Even with 'our best guy out there,' Phils' postseason 'pen woes resurface in Game 1
The Philadelphia Phillies dropped Game 1 as their bullpen problems from past postseasons resurfaced, despite manager Rob Thomson turning to his most trusted reliever. The late-game collapse cost the Phillies a win and raised familiar questions about the reliability of the relief corps, which has repeatedly faltered in previous October runs. Fans and analysts are questioning whether the team can trust its bullpen for the rest of the series.
Why now: The Phillies' well-documented history of bullpen failures in recent postseasons makes this late-game collapse feel like a repeat of past problems.
