@JomboyMedia Had to laugh listening to your preseason podcast when you said phillies were in good shape cause they have Walker pitching. You can always tell when national pundits don’t really follow the team they are commenting on

Phillies manager Rob Thomson got ejected because the umpires let the Nationals runner go back to third base after the call at first was overturned, even though he was tagged out

@RAJr_20 You could put Polonco in there too. You added bats even to good offensive teams. This team has needed a new bat for some time

English

Samuel George@SamuelGeorge76·1d

@RAJr_20 I always think you did a really good job of adding something new to the equation so it never got stale. Obviously the pitchers, but also in OF with Ibanez and Pence. I get they hope Crawford / Painter will be that something new, but that’s a lot to hang on rookies

Bats are slow to start but a tremendous start from Sanchez. Next up. The Nats. Time to make some hey.

The Phillies opened the season with a series loss to Texas. Nervous? Concern? Just three games? We talk about it. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@DavidWohl @TheKevinDalton I love baseball. I would love to go to dodgers stadium someday- truly iconic. I do agree with the portion of the orginal post commenting on the outrageous cost of attending a regular season baseball game.

@TheKevinDalton Says a guy who lives in Idaho and has no baseball games to go to. Or any other sport. 😂😂😂 I go to 30-40 Dodger games a year and always have a great time watching the best team in pro sports.

@JeffPassan 37 pitches?!

English

Jeff Passan@JeffPassan·5d

Paul Skenes is done. He recorded two outs. You have to think this was as much about not taking an extremely stressful inning and adding to it as anything. Skenes threw 37 pitches, and Pirates manager Don Kelly didn't want to tax him more. A stunning first for the Mets.

This is so, so well done It’s about the Red Sox, but it’s also about every team and everything, really

More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS

NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team. We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports. In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.

@tomsherwood should be an open air stadium. NFC East football should not be played in a dome.

Tom Sherwood@tomsherwood·18 Mar

The RFK stadium renderings should be required to show the massive parking decks - both dramatically change the artful stadium design we’ve seen so far. And who wants to see the traffic jams of cars trying to get out after the games?

Martin Austermuhle@maustermuhle

And the two renderings below show the smaller of the two proposed parking decks, presented somewhat translucently just south of the stadium. The bigger deck will be the one closer to the Kingman Park neighborhood, though, and that's not shown in the renderings.
