What happened last night?
Typing this out, Griffin Canning just balked in a run by not picking off Trea Turner on his third disengagement. Top of my head, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that rule enforced since they changed the rules last season. I’m sure it’s been called at some point in the past two seasons, but I wonder how many times it’s been called on a right-handed pitcher though.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Brandon Marsh makes his return to Anaheim since the trade that sent him to Philadelphia almost two years ago.
- It’s been a good developmental trade for both Marsh and Logan O’Hoppe, the man traded for the beard.
MLB news:
- You know, if we’re fixing the uniforms by Nike, let’s fix the All-Star game uniforms while we’re at it.
- Power rankings? Sure, power rankings! See how high the Phillies can fly.
- Speaking of uniforms, the Tampa Bay Rays unveiled their City Connect uniforms and folks, I think we have a new winner for the best version.
- Jesus Luzardo has a mild flexor strain, decent news for the young left-hander all things considered.
