Realmuto breaks a thumb, may not receive Zack Wheeler's opening day delivery

Bryce Harper used to catch!

See!! It was a smart move not to sign him.

Did he break his thumb while putting on his pants?

😂

Anybubs want to preview the Phils?

The Phitin Phillies, whom we hate, and whom suck, are off to a 3-0 start after manslapping Atlanta all weekend.

None of the hitters had monster weekends, here are the stats to date:

Hoskins 1B 3/13 2 2B, 2R, 2 RBIs
Segura 2B 3/12 1R 1 RBI
Gregorius SS 3/11 6Ks
Bohn 3B 2/10 2 RBIs
Harper RF 3/10 1 R
McCutchen LF 1/9
Realmuto C 4/9 2 2B 1 RBI
Haseley/Quinn CF combined 2/10 with one run

The starters that were out there for the opening set all did well -- quality starts by Nola, Elfin and Wheeler. Bullpen strong as well - wins by Jose Alvarado and Connor Brogdon in relief appearances. Overall in 27 IP they allowed just 3 earned runs total, none by the relievers. In fact their pen has gone 7.1 IP and allowed just 1 hit and 4 walks.

I watched most of the game yesterday. Seemed like every close ball-strike call went the the Phillies' way and in close games that made a difference. Slow start for Freddy too but he's one of those inevitable productive guys.

Seems like Braves are worse off going from a three close games sweep to a limbo proposition vs. Washington. It would suck to be their fan right now.

I saw Acuna struck out looking in the 9th inning on a pitch that screamed "ROBO UMPS NOW!!"
