The Phillies swept the White Sox, the competition gets harder today as they start a 3 game series against Cincinnati. They shouldn't pose much of a problem for the Phillies. Brew Crew is 14-6. The first games the offense carried the team. The last games pitching is helping win when the bats are cold. Too bad Yelich is injured, had a great start.
Bryce That, and they've had pretty poor opponents too.

Good day in PA, the Phillies took care of the Reds and the Pirates took care of the Brewers.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

How about the Indians? For now, the best record in baseball. No, I don't call them the "g" word. Never will.

Nittany what the heck? You better call and give them teams a stern talking to. Thompson does things I don't understand. He is big on using right handed batters when the pitcher is left handed. Last night his starting lineup had 4 hitters batting below 200 in it. I think they get Harper back today. Even with that lineup and without Harper for the 3rd day, they would have won if they would have a decent bullpen. Turnbull has been a lights out starter thus far, but guess what. With Walker going off the disable list Turnbull is being moved to the bullpen. I doubt Walker will even get close to matching Turnbull's numbers, but then again, the bullpen needs help. I actually think the bullpen could be effective if it was used properly. Turnbull's ERA is 1.33 pitching in 5 games. Walker will be lucky to have an ERA under 5.5.

I don't know why they don't ever listen to us. lol Leaving pitchers in too long, taking them out too soon, bringing in the wrong ones, etc... same for the hitters, I tell them to take a pitch they swing, I tell them to swing, they take the pitch. Very frustrating for those of us who are always right.

The Phillies knocked off the Reds today, Thompson heard me, lol. He started what should be the starting nine and he used the right relief pitchers to finish off a great game by Wheeler.
