Slug this, naysayers
I yearn for the days when people were complaining about the lack of slugging coming out of the Phillies’ lineup. Watching them lately, we can see they’re in the midst of a hot streak where they’ve climbed to fourth in baseball in slugging, a far cry from where they were just a month ago. There will be a valley coming up for them, but it’s nice seeing them all hitting and hitting with power.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- The Phillies are in need of some help in Lehigh Valley, so they bought a guy who threw a no-hitter.
- Are the Phillies a good team? Without a doubt. Can they take that leap into being a great team?
- You know why the Phillies haven’t played that many good teams? Because there aren’t that many good teams in baseball.
MLB news:
- I have to admit, this was not something I was familiar with: telling kids to drop out of high school to enter the draft earlier.
- Where are all 30 teams in terms of either meeting or falling short of preseason expectations this year?
- The Cubs welcomed back one of their injured outfielders last night.
