-The Yankees are totally dominating the Phillies during this series. Even the New York fans are louder. The Phillies need to win tonight to save face. The Phils are better this season, but stacked up against a really good club like the Yanks, we are second-rate. The Phillies will use the excuse that they are improved and they have "young players.' But the Yankees are young too. They simply have better young players.
- I know Hernandez' error was a killer last night, can we still trade Arrieta to Texas for Cole Hamels? I was all for the Arrieta signing but now it looks like a mistake. He's certainly not worth the $30 million he is making this season.Even if he was being paid $3 million this year, he has still been mediocre at best.
- Kapler is delusional if he thinks the Phillies' talent is equal to the Yankees. I'm all for being positive and encouraging your players. It's another thing to keep it real and be honest.
- Granted the team is improved but Klentak still needs to take blame for the many holes on the current roster. His free agent signings, trades, drafting and the way he has constructed his line-up ( guys playing out of position) are sorely lacking. Scared and incompetent.
- Severino was overwhelming last night, averaging 98 mph on his fastball even late in the game. Scary to think he is only 23-years-old.
- I'll be at the game tonight and would bet on the Phillies is sports betting available in Pennsylvania.I think they have too much pride to get swept at home, plus New York is starting a so-so hurler tonight. Zach Eflin goes tonight for the Phils. He tries for his fifth straight victory.
- Batting practice was awesome last night for the Bronx Bombers. Judge apparently crushed a ball onto Ashburn Alley, while Stanton drilled a ball out of left field , past the scoreboard and onto Ashburn Alley. I'm looking forward to batting practice tonight almost as much as sitting field level for the game. Hopefully it doesn't rain!
- Yankees fans have taken over Citizens Bank Park this week. In reality, it's the Phillies' fans fault. Phillies season ticket holders sold their seats for profit, which is fine, only other Phillies' fans aren't buying the tickets- New Yorkers are. It's nice to see a jam-packed ballpark ( like the old days), but hard to see half of the stadium wearing black instead of red.
