Rise and Phight: 9/22/2023

When was the last time Craig Kimbrel had a clean inning? That was a questions asked in our Slack. My answer was with the Braves. One of our other writers said Little League. Both are likely accurate.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• The Nick Castellanos catch from Wednesday afternoon was the one that broke John Kruk, but was statistically correct.
• The team named their minor league players of the year yesterday, handing the awards to Johan Rojas and Orion Kerkering.
• Speaking of Castellanos, he’s a himbo and he’s ours.
• Had Scott Rolen remained with the Phillies, how might things have turned out? An interesting guessing game.

MLB news:

• J.C. Mejia has been suspended 162 games for testing positive for the same steroid he got busted for last time.
• Now the Brewers are looking for a little help in bettering their ballpark area. Cool.
• The Tigers have a new general manager. I used to be able to name most general mangers. Now, I know most POBOs over the GMs.
