It's officially been 60 games since June 2nd, AKA the game that Kyle Schwarber took over the lead-off spot again.

The Phillies are 40-20 since then with the second best run differential in all of baseball.

[LoneStarPhan]

Yes, I was just warching them review Lopez' recent stats and he has been doing very well.

It makes no sense to have Schwarber lead off other than it works. For whatever reason or no reason at all, they seem to win more often with him leading off. I have learned to accept it.

Game almost ready to start.

[LoneStarPhan]

Foul fly to left NOT caught by Schwarber. Potential out not recorded.

Batter goes on to walk.

Defense makes a difference.
