There are no April fools here
At some point this season, the Phillies are going to score a run off of the opposition’s starting pitcher. They haven’t exactly been facing the game’s top bullpens, so they’re lucky that they have been able to rack up runs late in games, but the law of averages has to mean at some point, early runs will happen.
Right?
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Lots of news and notes surrounding the team ($), including some about Matt Strahm and his weird finger injury.
- Some Phillies hitters have ordered the “torpedo” bats; some are just find not using them at all ($).
MLB news:
- I mean, we all know what the biggest story in the game is right now: the Yankees and their very legal “torpedo” bats. I’m kind of tired of it already.
- Garrett Crochet is staying with the Red Sox for a while, agreeing to a reported six year extension with Boston.
- Remember when Jurickson Profar got really good last year, kind of out of nowhere? His recent suspension for PED usage kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
- Baltimore suffering a tough break, literally, already with Colton Cowser going down for the next two months.
- Rob Manfred is retiring soon. Have the game’s owners already put someone in place to be the heir apparent?
