Episode 10: Shame and Abel

After not a lot of news coming out of our teams last week, the Phillies decided to drop some bombs this weekend.  Jose Alvarado is suspended for 80 games and the playoffs after having us all convinced that his 102mph fastball was back naturally.  To make up for it, the Phillies mercifully placed Aaron Nola on the IL and brought up their prized prospect...MICK ABEL!!!  We all thought it might be Andrew Painter for a minute, but instead Mick Abel made his debut and absolutely shoved against Paul Skenes.  Those two guys and the 6 other viable Phillies starters might be the eventual answer to the depleted bullpen.  In the meantime though, we need to make a move.

The Eagles made some waves themselves in extended coach Nick Sirianni and being the subject of a rule change prompted by the softest team and fans in the league, the Packers.  The league will vote on the Tush Push ban this week.  Plus, the only thing left to do before training camp is extend Reed Blankenship

The Flyers have a new coach and might be looking to spend some money.  Mitch Marner anyone?  Hopefully that is not a replay of the ill fated Ilya Bryzgalov signing of 14 years ago.  Going to write about that one soon.

Lastly, in Sixers-ville, I can't help it.  I'M OPTIMISTIC!!!  Give me hope and Ace Bailey!
