Mic'd up Bryce Harper just mentioned the Phillies traveling through 18 different time zones in 17 days.

When they fly to Boston tomorrow night, they'll be at approximately 11,845 miles in the air over that stretch. They've gone 7-5.

Given how much longitude they covered, I assume they needed trigonometry to compute that number

Marte used to be a good outfielder when he was on the Pirates. His defense seems not to have aged well.

You're right Boston. I thought that stayed up enough to be caught. Phils will take it.

Stocker specifically said that the turf is very bouncy and so the OFs have to play more conservatively so that balls don’t bounce over their head.

[gmwannabe]

yes, but that still hung up there.

They made adjustments after it was a ridiculous bandbox the first time.
