What is the story about?
I’m usually the one around here that looks for the optimistic point of view with the Phillies. They’re still a talented team that will likely make the playoffs this year, even if right now it’s bleak. The baseball gods have frowned on them in a rather substantial way (or is it the ghost of Harry Kalas?)
I’m also not blind: this team stinks something terrible right now.
There is still plenty of season left and plenty of time to right the ship. They’ll get on track soon enough…
….but boy are they playing
bad baseball.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Taijuan Walker is going to be in the game Wednesday, he just won’t be starting the game. They’ll go with an opener.
- The team is “frustrated” right now with their performance. What did we learn from a homestand that saw them go 1-8?
- It was their worst homestand since 2000. They need to get better and get better soon ($).
MLB news:
- There are three managers that have struggling teams right now with the talent to turn it around. They’re still not safe ($).
- Hunter Brown saw an iffy timeline with his injury to his shoulder. Now, the team has a more defined timeline to when he’ll return.
- How about a mock draft to lighten the day for you? Remember, the Phillies’ draft position has been backed up a bit this year.
