It was a busy weekend; here’s the news.
PHILLIES OPEN GRAPEFRUIT LEAGUE 1-2: Records don’t matter in spring training, unless of course a team goes undefeated or loses every game, in which case we’d probably have to talk about that. But this year neither will be the case for the Phillies, who lost to the Blue Jays, beat the Orioles, then lost to the Yankees over the first weekend of Grapefruit League play. More important was seeing guys in action. Did they pitch well? (Mostly!) Did they swing the bats well? (Somewhat!) Did they catch every pop fly?
