What is the story about?
Another
streak of strikeouts by a Phillies starter was created last night by Cristopher Sanchez, this one a bit shorter than what Zack Wheeler had. Sanchez struck out the last seven hitters he faced, three short of the ten Wheeler started his start off this week with.
At least that’s something positive.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- So far,it’s a left ankle sprain for Luis Arraez, something of a sigh of relief. How long he’ll be away is still a mystery.
- Bill Giles, former team president of some good Phillies teams and some bad,passed away yesterday at the age of 92.
- Alec Bohm is probably on the way out after the season. Who else is probably going out the door once the season ends ($)?
MLB news:
- Paul Skenes has blamed the WBC for his lack of velocity this season.Look around the game and maybe that isn’t an argument to make ($).
- If you’re looking for a number of games that MLB probably doesn’t want to miss if they miss any at all in 2027, 60 is probably the number you’re looking for ($).
- Alec Burleson leads the league in RBI this season. If the Cardinals want more of that, he’s open to an extension.
- Camilo Doval is going back to the Giants on a waiver claim one year after San Francisco traded him away.
