Definitely seems like Gunnar is seeing the ball a lot better. Even off of lefties.

Turner just reminded us that big contracts are over rated. 

That is not a general rule. Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman would beg to disagree.

mOUNTCASTLE SWINGS AT FIRST PITCH...Blah..

Should have said **universal rule**

Turner looked amazing in the WBC.  Didnt he hit like five homeruns in the WBC?  

And he has the prettiest slides into home plate of anyone.

Plus there was some buzz he left ~$25-50mm on the table because he wanted East Coast.

But he ran hard, unlike Mateo, and stayed out of the DP.

Westburg is sneaky athletic. Faster bat and foot speed than you would have thought for a guy with good power.

I would rather Kjerstad also.  But Stowers is on the 40 already.  So no one would have to be dropped to bring him up.  

We have players we can drop if we want to improve by bringing up Kjerstad. I hope we are now in the phase of playing the best players, not just the nest one available/eligible. I prefer to see none of Stowers, Varva, Lester, McKenna, etc, unless it's for another team.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

I like the feature on cheesesteaks as if this is an exotic locale when it's like an hour and a half up the road.

Bringing up Kjerstad is not a guarantee to improve the team. See- Cowser, Colton. You can only afford to let so many kids learn at the same time in a pennant race.

[Roy Firestone]

pitch count still low for Sanchez because of that ridiculous 6 pitch first inning..

[Gurgi]

Cheese Wiz on a cheeseteak is actually original to them.   Athentic subs will have cheesewiz.

Phillies red pinstripe home jerseys have to be some of the worst in the game. 

I actually like them. I'm also glad they abandoned that wine color they were using for some time.
