Phillies Fans Ready for Second Half of the Season

by KYW's Hadas Kuznits

It's the Phillies halfway point in the season, and fans have a lot to say about the team. 

At the season's halfway point, Phillies fans say they have to do well in this series against the Braves:

"Yes, it's very crucial!"

"I can't see how they go further from here if they don't take this series."

"The Braves are in the lead and I think if they let themselves get beat at their own ballpark it will kind of kill the morale, especially with all the injuries right now."

"Oh, it's obviously very important."

"They need momentum going into the break."

But is it too early to start worrying about the Phillies?

"It's a little premature to worry about the rest of the season, but you want to get a good start going into the all star games."

How do fans think the Phillies have been doing so far this season?

"They're fine, they've just go to hit the ball!  That's their big problem. They haven't been hitting the ball."

But fans say they still have faith:

(Kuznits): "Do you think they can turn it around?"

"Yes! Yes, they can!  Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!"
