There is probably going to be sizable contingent of Phillies fans in Houston when the World Series begins on Friday. Philadelphia as a whole travels very well when it comes to sports and games of this magnitude will be no exception. Will it be enough to make a dent in the expected crowd of Astros fans? Probably not, but it’s good to have someone rooting for you nonetheless when you’re on the field.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Not sure I agree with the title “The Phillies tried to be the Astros”, but this is an interesting article nonetheless.
- When John Middleton went all in on this team, there were probably some owners criticizing him for spending. Turns out: he was right.
- Looks like Aaron Nola will be the game one starter for the Phillies, opposing Astros starter Justin Verlander.
- The Athletic is giving their predictions for the World Series, even though they have yet to accurately predict what the Phillies will do.
MLB news:
- As if the Dodgers weren’t good enough, it’s possible they’re going to be in on Aaron Judge, sending Mookie Betts to second base.
- The Marlins have a new manager and it’s Skip Schumaker from the Cardinals.
- Caleb Smith from Arizona has a ligament tear in his pitching elbow, but will rest and rehab it first.
- Finally, down in Baltimore, we have an #oldfriend sighting on the coaching staff.
