It’s hard to say that any series between two baseball teams during the first week of April has any long-term cosmic significance. The season, barely two weeks old, remains in its infancy. It would be foolish to glean any hard-and-fast truths with just 5% of the season in the rear view mirror.
That said, the Phillies and Dodgers played a whale of a series in Philadelphia over the weekend, one that absolutely could be repeated six months from now in Major League Baseball’s postseason tournament.
All three games at Citizens Bank Park crackled with intensity.
