MIAMI — The Phillies were still winning Wednesday afternoon when Jesús Luzardo raised his tan glove to his face. “F—!” he yelled after allowing a homer, and it was loud enough to cut through the hundreds of screaming children inside loanDepot Park. Luzardo did not know what lay ahead for his team — a blown six-run lead, a ninth loss in 12 games, a subdued flight to Maryland — but he knew the state of things. If the Phillies concede an inch, it feels like 5 feet.They are riding the roller coaster again, and this is a season with few parallels in 144 years of Phillies baseball. They were so bad in April that they fired a successful manager. They were so good for two months afterward that everyone could look past their glaring flaws. They played crisp baseball for the first 4 1/2 innings in Wednesday’s 8-6 loss to the Miami Marlins, then reminded everyone why there are existential questions about the viability of this group of players.“And now’s the time that we’re going to find out what we’re made of,” interim manager Don Mattingly said. “With our struggle, we’ve let everybody stay in the race. So we find out who we are over this next couple of months.”Everyone, right now, looks like they need a nap.The bullpen has been run into the ground; Mattingly made another questionable late-game decision in Wednesday’s loss. A recurring gastrointestinal issue has sidelined Kyle Schwarber, and he might not be ready by Friday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles. Zack Wheeler couldn’t make it past the third inning Monday. Luzardo made far too many mistakes with a big lead Wednesday. Half of the lineup, on any given day, is fighting through some debilitating slump.The star first baseman is still bickering with the headstrong president of baseball operations, Dave Dombrowski. Then, the interim manager cannonballed into the fray with some strong words for Bryce Harper before Wednesday’s game. The Phillies need help at the trade deadline, and it’s not just Harper saying it. Everyone knows it. Harper just chose to say it out loud. That annoyed team officials.“I sense Bryce is thinking about it,” Mattingly said. “I don’t really sense anybody else thinking about it, honestly. And you’ve been through this; guys want to be GMs without a real understanding of where the organization is, exactly where this thing goes. Not only this year, but moving forward. Players like being GMs and making calls and spending other people’s money. So I just let it go at that. I mean, Dave’s been doing this a while. He’s never really backed away from trying to get guys. We’re trying to get better. We’re going to try to get better at the deadline.”Why is everyone watching for hugs before the trade deadline?Tyler Kepner and Lauren Morales-JonesIt’s still July. The stakes, relatively speaking, remain low. The Phillies still occupy a playoff position, even after two weeks of bad baseball. They have already proven it’s unwise to assume anything about them. They are going to make trades to add pieces; Dombrowski has summoned about a dozen members of the front office for a rendezvous this weekend in Baltimore. There, the Phillies will chart their course ahead of Monday’s trade deadline.A certain uneasiness overcame everyone in April. This feels different. The Phillies are not getting destroyed every night. Maybe that makes it worse; they have been close enough to exhaust their best relievers sometimes in losing efforts. The inconsistent lineup has been good enough on some nights, but it also has not all clicked at once. Even when the Phillies were playing better than just about any team for two months, they were never firing as an efficient machine.
