On Friday, Hillsboro stole 11 bases in one game.
One more shot fired in the CBA wars. Players file a $500 million grievance regarding the 60-game schedule last year being purposely short so MLB could save money. While the players are not wrong, I am also not sure it is something they can win. Seems like a negotiating tactic where they make it go away in exchange for something else.
Ok that's funny, the first time I saw this headline on Inquirer website I thought it was about MLS.
I would agree this is something that is likely to just go away during the CBA negotiations, but I think it is also a legit grievance, and one they were very careful to preserve their right to.
I wonder how much the Phillies have factored in a labor stoppage in their short-term plans? An 80-100 game season would probably be better for a team that still needs to rely on older and injury-risk players (though Cutch will be gone). Particularly Didi and Segura, but also Bryce and JT. Would also mean partial salaries though that would be accompanied by lack of revenue.
That's the bottom line here: can the players get a win they might not have because it's unthinkable for the owners to miss out on the first possible full, fully attended season.
He gave up a home run to Shoehei that almost defies belief. Ohtani sliced it opposite field up onto the green monster.
He did play 1 inning of 3B this year. But check out his sprint speed. There is a lonely dot on the far left.
I almost posted the other day wondering if he'd work as a bench bat for the Phillies but decided against it due to his complete lack of defensive flexibility. Doesnt seem like a direction this Phillies team could afford to go in.
Plus the whole "can't hit" thing 
Certainly this could still end with him being released or quietly off the roster. Nice for him to just stay in Southern California too.
Obviously the Phillies still need that bench bat but they will have to make a few roster and salary snips when that times comes, even if it's just releasing Joyce or Torreyes. Right now they'd obviously prefer Kingery to get back to AAA and make something of a month there.
There's more. And this after Walker left the game with stiffness too
