Oh gee, another day waking up to snow. How wonderful.
The Phillies will play some more games that will be broadcast this week, which always begs the question: why isn’t every single game broadcast? We know some teams and networks cheap out and don’t want to pay announcers or anything like that, but there is probably a sizeable number of fans that want to see every inning of baseball that they can. Even if it is just spring training games.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- Bryce Harper has had an interesting offseason to say the least. In this interview, he talks about that offseason and a lot more ($). Good read.
- Zack Wheeler is really, really ready to come back as soon as possible and get back on a major league mound.
- Jhoan Duran is looking better and better each spring bullpen appearance. He made the right call to sit out the WBC.
MLB news:
- The Braves had a vision once of what baseball on cable television should look like. Apparently, they are doing the same thing again.
- Speaking of the Braves, they’re going to keep their ace around for another year. Might they have gotten him….on Sale????
- Baseball players watched the gold medal game this weekend and it got them more excited for baseball in Los Angeles in 2028.
