Rise and Phight: 9/5/2023

Hey, that was fun!

Actually, no it wasn’t. Games like last night are not good for the ol’ ticker, so let’s hope for a much less stressful set of games here.

On to the links.

Phillies news:

• J.T. Realmuto hasn’t had the greatest of seasons by his standards, but the last two weeks have been much better.
• We’ve all come to love Bryson Stott in what has become a breakout season for him. However, this person is not a fan of this “breakout”.
• There is a lot going here with these thoughts, including ones about the lineup and Kyle Schwarber.
• It wasn’t the greatest of weekends for Alec Bohm, but the team still believes in him. It’s helped him put aside games like Friday.

MLB news:

• Julio Urias was arrested and subsequently released on a bond for a domestic violence charge. He is currently not with the team.
• Shohei Ohtani’s agent spoke yesterday about his need for surgery, but maybe not Tommy John? I’m very confused.
• Jackson Holliday is ready for his 3rd level of the minors this season, reportedly going to Triple-A.
