Rise and Phight: 5/17/2022

Bryce Harper was named the National League Player of the Week for his efforts last week on the road.

Hard to believe this was the first time he was named Player of the Week as a member of the Phillies, but we’ll take it just the same.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• The Phillies auction is here and boy do they have some good ones. And bad ones. Here is the ranking of what they have to offer.
• Facing the Dodgers, the Phillies were certainly fortunate that Los Angeles had an error go between Gavin Lux’s legs. Those were the only things going between legs yesterday.

MLB news:

• Albert Pujols added to his storied career Sunday night by hopping on the mound the Cardinals’ blowout win against San Francisco.
• Did you know the Reds won’t get credited with a no-hitter? MLB needs to change that (note: no they don’t).
• MLB still holds a lot of appeal to regional sports networks thanks to their being some of the only live events left on television.
