What is the story about?
Yeah,
I wasn’t feeling that weekend series against the Rangers. “Flat” would be a decent enough adjective to describe them, which is surprising considering they were opening at home.
Time to move on.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- When Rob Thomson saw that Jacob deGrom was not starting on Saturday, he still kept some lefties in the lineup. It shows what he’s thinking this early in the season ($).
- Zack Wheeler showed that he’s close to returning on Saturday night, even if he didn’t show his usual midseason form ($).
- You want takeaways from this weekend, don’t you? Well, here are three with the caveat: it could have been worse ($).
- Griff McGarry is back with Lehigh Valley after not making the Nationals’ roster. He’s excited to be back in the organization.
MLB news:
- Listen, there are top ten lists that matter and top ten lists that don’t matter. File this one wherever you choose to ($).
- This should have been my hot take for the season, but I don’t think Tony Vitello lasts the whole year with the Giants.
- Since the initial weekend is now over, you’re looking for the hottest takeaways from the weekend. Well here they are!
