The @NLBMuseumKC joins the baseball world in mourning the passing of the great Brooks Robinson. I loved watching him play. He was a Hall of Famer on-and-off the field. We extend our condolences to the Robinson family, the @Orioles organization & his legion of fans! RIP!🙏🏾 pic.twitter.com/aW68AruUfa

The ballad of Trae Turner
Here’s how it started, with a Reddit post that spread to local sports radio:
Philadelphia fans give Trea Turner a standing ovation to show that they still support him through his tough season pic.twitter.com/fkSb14wRcQ

And the next day, he hit a three-run homer!
HE ANSWERED THE CALL#RingTheBell pic.twitter.com/TquMSmVkV8

Somebody in this thread said, and I agree, "How can you not be romantic about baseball"? What a redemption arc for Turner this week❤️ #phillies #traeturner https://t.co/YGPwL6E2Qu

Everything good that Trae Turner does from now until forever Philly sports fans will take full credit for. https://t.co/kg4wn7bEWF

Happy to hear this
The world's most remote country, Bhutan, is experiencing a baseball boom
What started as a handful of kids playing on a concrete slab has grown to more than 6,000 children who are becoming dedicated baseball fans

You probably don’t care
But I do!
Breaking: Bryce Harper has been cleared to play by the Phillies just 159 days after Tommy John surgery, sources tell @JeffPassan.

Sixers take Game One
What a great game. So much fun to watch, especially Tyrese Maxey stealing the ball for a last minute trey. This should shut up all the people who say the Sixers can’t hustle. On the road, against the Celtics? Without Joel Embid? Damn.
By the way, the last time the Sixers won on the Celtics’ home turf was in 1981.

20 thoughts on Phillies in 2023
1) most anticipated opening day in 15 years
2) most talented roster in history of Phillies franchise
3) Dombrowski will still inevitably make a blockbuster trade
4) how will they play with a target on their back? From “hunters” 2 hunted

One more week to opening day
And then this happened today:

It’s difficult to put into words how unfortunate this is — for both the Phillies and Rhys Hoskins.
Just brutal. https://t.co/G7mzs9N2rZ

Decent
Dodgers Dugout: It would be easy for the Dodgers to cut ties with Andrew Toles and wish him well. Instead, they have renewed his contract every year so Toles, 30, can keep his health insurance. They did so again this year. It shouldn’t go unnoticed.https://t.co/UaiDp8OlFI
