Final Score: Rays 6, Phillies 2
There was a lot of talk heading into this weekend about strategy. Joe Girardi hinted at a new media policy designed to keep certain bits of information in house for strategic purposes. All of this was happening as the Phillies began a series against baseball’s new-age trendsetters who do strategy better than anyone else in the league.
Unsurprisingly, the Phillies were swept this weekend by the Rays, who are the best team in the American League.
