It’s a solid matchup today
Today is going to be exciting. The Phillies get their first look at Paul Skenes, which is exciting, but it’s also going to be the MLB debut for Mick Abel. He’s been a divisive prospect in his career thanks to the stops and starts he’s had, but this year has been a different story.
How much they get about him, but it’s a developmental win for the team that he gets to debut, so good for them and good for him.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Speaking of Abel, he’s getting ready for the debut, the moment not lost on him how big it is for his career.
MLB news:
- Jordan Hicks is done in the rotation for the Giants, as he’s moving back to the bullpen in favor of Hayden Birdsong.
- Brandon Hyde is out as Orioles manager, getting the ol’ heave-ho, but he’s probably not the one that needs to be let go.
- Clayton Kershaw made his return to the Dodgers rotation last night, a place where they actually need some help.
