Phillies are going to stretch Strahm to be a three-inning pitcher, which could have benefits -- and be a necessity -- if we find ourselves needing bullpen games.

There was a lot of good news in this night game:

-- strong start by Wheeler
-- 3 hits for Stott, who needed that
-- Hall goes yard
-- Clemens continues to have a strong spring at the plate, but I still think that he & Kingery are probably the last 2 guys cut.

I was just noting what the media were saying. Mariota was literally the only guy left out there who's started multiple games in recent years and isn't a 38-year-old immobile dude. I mean, if there was ONE lesson from the NFC Championship Game....

Numbers are in on Darius Slay’s expected extension: Slay agreed to a three-year, $42 million extension that includes $23 million fully guaranteed. The extension was confirmed and negotiated by Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.

Minshew off to the Colts.

I think given the 2023 championship aspirations, you can't bank on Ian Book as your backup. Fine as a #3.

Mets closer Edwin Diaz will miss the entire season. Sucks. Most seasons just end up being a long war of attrition and the Phillies certainly already have their share of injuries to deal with, with who-knows-what ahead. Mets will likely have to trade a prospect they wanted to keep to bolster the back...

With Brissett to the Commanders, will be interesting to see what Eagles do for backup QB. Marcus Mariota?

Garrett Stubbs said he has a sprained right knee, according to the MRI obtained by the #Phillies. He said he would play through it during the season and expects to be ready by opening day.

Stinks.
Want all teams 100% healthy when we beat their butts.
Includes the Phillies, of course.
