It’s almost Mother’s Day
I’m still trying to process how ESPN decided that tomorrow’s game between the Phillies and Guardians was the one they wanted to broadcast for Sunday Night Baseball. Yes they are two good teams and the Phillies do draw well on TV, but the Guardians? Really?
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Andrew Painter is now in Triple-A Lehigh Valley. That means it’s time for him to become a pitcher ($).
- Brandon Marsh (who feels much better) and Johan Rojas are finally giving the team production from center field.
MLB news:
- There are four top closers in the game today that are really struggling this season. Can they bounce back to their level of effectiveness?
-
The Pirates fired Derek Shelton
because they can’t fire the owner because the team is struggling badly. - This Rafael Devers saga in Boston is starting to get juicy (at least for those on the outside looking in).
- Always a plus when Ken Rosenthal checks in with some news and notes ($).
