Someone explain to me why Dylan Covey is still a thing.
Last night’s mind boggling bullpen moves may have been a result of the team continuing to carry Covey on the roster. As the seventh inning unfolded, it felt like more a white flag thing than anything, sending Jeff Hoffman and Andrew Vazquez out to finish things off. However, one person probably got it right.
Without Dominguez, that probably should have been Marte or Sosa. Also once again you are playing a man down because you are carrying Covey and not someone like Bellatti.

With Cristopher Sanchez the fifth starter (for now), the team doesn’t really need to hang on to a long man in the bullpen, but they insist on making sure Covey has a spot. I just don’t understand.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- So, Bryce Harper has hit, but not with much power. It’s been a season where he has had to learn some patience.
- Michael Plassmeyer, we hardly knew ye.
MLB news:
- Player polls are always fun because they’re the ones that have to play this crazy game (it worked really well for the NFL!). Here’s one for MLB.
- Rickwood Field in Alabama, home to some of the great Negro League teams, is set to host an MLB game next season.
- See, these are the kinds of stories I find interesting. The ban on the shift is making the field look better.
