DeCamara: Phillies have reached point where anything other World Series title would be 'a shame'

The Phillies continue to pass every test in 2024, having just swept the mighty Dodgers with another victory on Thursday night.

As the summer continues to be an enjoyable one in Philadelphia, Joe DeCamara says the joy and excitement around the team also has the consequence of meaning anything short of a title would be seen as a disappointment.

“They’re playing at a clip right now that is just unbelievable…It’s a sight to behold these days,” Joe said. “Postseason glory, that’s what the history books really note. They note who wins the titles. Obviously that’s to be determined, but right now, what they’re doing from a regular season standpoint is historic, and what they’re doing from a Phillies standpoint is really historic.

“They’ve officially reached the point of greatness where I can now say that it’s really gonna be a shame if they don’t win it all. I don’t know how else to put it.”

The Phillies could very well set franchise records this season, but Joe says it would be much more difficult to look back on 2024 with appreciation if it doesn’t result in the franchise’s first World Series title since 2008.

“It kind of reminds me of the Eagles in 2022 when they were 10-1 and didn’t win it all, and it was a shame,” Joe said. “But they have set themselves up for a three-round sprint to try to win a championship come October...and I mean that as a compliment when I say it would be a shame if they don’t win it all.”
