The worst month in the history of baseball is over for the Phillies

Coming off a month where the Phillies won only six games it’s time to see who can truly be a piece of the future. That effort continues Friday as the San Francisco Giants, sans fan-favorite Hunter Pence.

The question surrounding the team entering the weekend series are endless: who fills the two spots in the rotation, can Odubel Herrera not swing at every pitch, can the manager wake up his players.

Whether or not all three of those storylines plays out correctly is to be seen, although it’s unlikely we see Herrera work a pitch count anytime soon.

For those reasons, most Phillies fans are out on the season. For those still in on seeing some young players work through their struggles, here are five things to look for during the weekend series against San Francisco.
