This whole “game on a Monday after a series should end on a Sunday” thing is just weird. Like, why couldn’t they have just scheduled a different day later this year?
Very strange.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
• Jhoan Duran had a bullpen session where he apparently hit 100 on the gun. He might skip a rehab assignment.
• The Phillies gave Aaron Nola an extra day of rest in the hopes that his early season struggles might be turned around ($).
• Gage Wood continues to impress with a fastball that is starting to see its scouting grade rise.
MLB news:
• There are ten stars across the game that had a rough start to their season. Is it time for patience or panic with them?
• Anthony Volpe is going to stay in the minor leagues now that the Yankees have activated and optioned him there.
• As the Braves get back Spencer Strider, they’re losing Ronald Acuna, Jr. to a hamstring strain. They’ll probably win like 10 of 12 now.
