What is the story about?
Actual
offense was on display last night in Philadelphia, but this defense, if it doesn’t get cleaned up fast, is going to be the downfall of this team.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Well, I guess we’re doing the “platoon with Brandon Marsh” thing again ($). I’m really starting to dislike Don Mattingly.
- Brian Keller made his major league debut on Saturday. If you haven’t heard his story before, it’s a pretty good one ($).
- Andrew Painter had a good start for the IronPigs on Sunday. Is he an option to rejoin the rotation soon?
MLB news:
- There was a trade of some significance after Sunday’s links were scheduled, but the Red Sox are getting Curtis Mead in exchange for Connelly Early.
- Shea Langeliers will probably miss the rest of the season for the A’s, a tough blow to them and their potential trade market.
- It’s possible that the Mets move “at least six” players this trade deadline. This downfall of the team has been delicious.
