It’s hard to believe, but the Phillies are actually hot right now. Winning a four game series will do that to a team, but they head to Atlanta on top of the division and playing some decent baseball.
As long as you don’t watch the defense.
Or relief pitching.
Or the back 2/5 of the rotation.
Other than that, it’s all hunky dory!
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Did you know that yesterday’s start was the best one of Zack Wheeler’s career? I know I didn’t.
- Is Bryce Harper’s injury more serious that the team is letting on?
- Speaking of injuries, the team has endured another one to their bullpen, sending Jojo Romero to the IL and bringing up Ranger Suarez.
MLB news:
- Hey let’s do some power rankings! Where are the Phillies at, as well as the rest of the NL East?
- The end of an era came yesterday when the Angels designated Albert Pujols for assignment.
- If it feels like the injury bug has been running rampant through MLB, it’s because it is and MLB isn’t ready for it ($).
