On to the links.

Phillies news:

• You might have heard the team razzing Trea Turner after a home run the other day. What does that chant mean?
• It was almost a given that someone would write about the team’s penchant for hitting dramatic home runs, then ultimately losing the game.
• The Braves? Good. In the playoffs though? We’ll have to wait and see since the Phillies just hung with them for four games.

MLB news:

• This coming week, there will be the first ever game in a virtual park. I do not know what this means.
• The time has come for owners to vote on the A’s moving to Las Vegas.
• Might there be a favorite already in the Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes? I’m sure we’ll never see this type of article again.
