Rise and Phight: 9/7/2022

Quite the heroics last night. First, we watched Jean Segura win the ballgame for the Phillies, then we saw the Brewers blow a game in which they had a 98% win probability to the Rockies. It sets the Phillies at 3 games ahead of them, still effectively tied with the Padres for the second wild card. Good times these.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• In the words of the great Mrs. Doubtfire, “HELP IS ON THE WAY, DEAR! HELP IS ON THE WAY!”
• Will the team be able to avoid another September collapse? That seems to be the running theme these days.
• The Phillies lost a minor leaguer on a waiver claim to the Tigers.

MLB news:

• It looks like the player’s union has enough votes from minor leaguers to go ahead with bringing them under their umbrella ($).
• September is here and that means some predictions on how things will end when the dust settles.
• I found this interesting, an article about how sliders that have more sweep are taking over the major leagues.
