Mickey Callaway went from "first guy fired" to possible MOY candidate. Baseball is weird.
Phillies fired their hitting coach because they have been bad at hitting since the all star break.
They brought back their former manager, Charlie Manuel, as interim hitting coach for the remainder of the season.
Manuel to the Phillies this year reminds me of Childress as an assistant coach. Hopefully the Phillies version won't be used to gloss over a decade of underachievement.
You would think 11 runs would be enough to win a baseball game against a so-so team. But nope, not when your pitching staff gives up 19.
The Players Weekend uniforms are hideous.
Glass reportedly in talks to sell the Royals for 1 billion. Bought the team for 96 million.
Are the five teams in the NL pretty much decided? Cubs have an easy schedule the rest of the way, minus a home and home with the Cardinals. Nats have a five-gamer against the Phillies, but Philly clearly doesn't have the pitching to keep them in it. Nats have a weird season-ending series against Cleveland, which could have more implications for the AL than the NL.
