The Philadelphia Phillies are off to a slow start to the season, but things might be starting to turn around.  It has undoubtedly been a really disappointing start to the year for the Phillies so far. This was a team that came into the campaign hoping to be a contender once again, but they have fallen short of those expectations so far.  The slow start to the season resulted in the team moving on from manager Rob Thomson , and he was replaced by Don Mattingly. This move made a lot of sense for the team, and they were in desperate need of a spark and a wake-up call.  Since the change, things are starting to look up for the Phillies . They were able to put together their best week of the season, going (5-1) against the San Francisco Giants and the Miami Marlins.  With a ton of veteran talent on the team, Philadelphia has plenty of time to make a run, and they might be getting ready to do so. As the calendar flips to May, the time for the Phillies to get hot might be coming.  Zachary D.…
