BFD. The cover of the USA Today baseball preview showed Dykstra and Kruk etc. and said something like "Can the Wild Bunch Win the NL East?"

Yeah but do they write an article each year on the anniversary of the 1993 baseball preview reminding everyone that they had the Phillies on the cover back then? That is the real accomplishment.

Was it USA Today? I thought it was Baseball Weekly and the writer was Rod Beaton. I remember the line he wrote. "If the Phillies stay healthy, they will win the NL East." Came out of nowhere.

Kratz is some kinda catcher. Hits homers every spring. There used to be some kind of Kratz Brothers Mens' Store in Philly I believe.

Zagurski in to practice closing with the Phils down 7-4.

Kendrick gave up 7 hits and two runs in 3 innings.

yeah last week on beerleaguer this poster was asking, who is e kratz, and I kind of did a double take, thinking you were breaking news across platforms

Zagurski strikes out the first two guys then Wilson Valdez works on refusing to catch a fly ball. Man on 2nd.

Zagurski strikes out the side. He should be the closer.

Last chance for the Phillies' utility infielders down 7-4 in the 9th.

Utility infielders Orr and Martinez makes outs -- Valdez powers an infield single and Galvis hits a home run!!!!!!!

Phils' utility infielders are the best in the business.

Kratz is the goat as he grounds out. Phils lose. 7-6.

Thanks Jamie for the color, and good night and good luck.
