The Phillies lost an ugly one to the Marlins on Sunday, 10-1. Let's get this over with:
Seth Johnson might be a solid MLB pitcher one day. But his major league debut was a nightmare.
Not going to get it done or keep you in the majors.

Doubtful he gets another start either. Hideous game today unfortunately for Seth. pic.twitter.com/hxFte6Kcld
Seth Johnson with an ignominious debut for the @Phillies today. However, it doesn't mean he won't be a good @MLB pitcher in time.
Anyone remember Zach Eflin's debut?
Johnson:
2.1 IP, 8 H, 9 R, 9 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 1 HR
Eflin (June 14, 2016):

Maybe the fifth spot in the Phils' rotation is just cursed?

Phillies honoring the NFL being back by punting this game

The Phillies return to Citizens Bank Park for a six-game homestand beginning Monday. They'll face the Rays and Mets.
Looking at the Phillies upcoming schedule, a 5th starter won't be needed until the Brewers if they choose to skip a rotation turn.

Off day on Thursday means Nola could open the Mets series with Sanchez and Suarez to follow.
