It’s the weekend. Bask in the sunshine (of Florida)
It’s a nice day outside forecasted for the Philadelphia region. That can only mean one thing. Staying inside and watching the Phillies on TV!
Luckily for you, the wise people in charge of such decisions have decided the best way to consume the game is to listen on the radio. So, while you’re outside working in the yard, cleaning up storm debris, pop on the Phillies and give them a listen.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Kyle Schwarber is looking to be the “most versatile DH” in the game today($). That means adventures at first base are nigh.
- Does the bullpen have enough arms to cover the entire season and maintain their rank as one of the better bullpens in the game?
MLB news:
- The White Sox lost a big trade chip for the next month and a half with Andrew Benintendi going down to a broken hand.
- The Mets’ injury news just keeps getting bad. Nick Madrigal will probably miss the season after shoulder surgery.
- MLB is in discussions with streaming giants Netflix and Amazon, as well as NBC, to take hold of ESPN’s abandoned broadcasting rights.
