Do not lose this series to the White Sox. Just….don’t.
The Phillies already took care of business against the Rockies, waking up a somewhat dormant offense in the process. This weekend, they can continue the same thing against the White Sox.
It’s another series that they need to win, not just for their own psyche, but also to bank wins that count just as much now as in September. All the teams that will be in the playoff chase in the National League will also play this team at some point, so best to catch them while they are really down before they make any kind of change that would alter their season trajectory.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- The best rotation in baseball right now? Yeah, that resides right here in Philadelphia thank you very much.
- Remember the Kyle Schwarber that would always start off slow? He is NO MORE, I say. Schwarber has been good this April.
MLB news:
- How about some buy/sell topics from around the game? I have to say, I kind of agree with a lot of these.
- Aroldis Chapman is gonna take a seat for a few days for inappropriate actions against the Mets.
- Jackson Holliday has struggled since coming up, but there are reasons to believe he’ll be just fine.
- Diamond Sports still has a restructuring plan in mind, but MLB remains skeptical it’ll be successful.
