Terrific start by Ranger.

Nice way to start homestand

The starting pitching has been soooooooooooooooo good.

After all the freaking out, the Phillies have the same number of wins as the Braves. They're both 6-4 in their last 10. It's not a hot start but it's not an actual bad start. Two road series wins ina row, style points be damned.

Ranger is so solid. Sad they gave that mediocre (being generous) clown Walker $70MM while Ranger gets 1/$5 b/c he's still arb eligible.

They don't even make the playoffs as the #3 wild card without the 172 innings and 15 wins they got from Walker last year.

not sure im going to credit him for wins but when you get left off the playoff roster completely and then talk about "disrespect" he's a clown in my eyes.
