by Evan Macy

Clearly there was a lot of good paired with some really bad last year for the now 26-year-old slugging first baseman. His first 89 games in 2019 saw him hit .263 with 20 homers and 59 RBI. His final 71 was at a .180 clip with just nine dingers.

In 2020, the Phillies expect their ace — Aaron Nola — to return to form as one of the best starters in baseball. They hope the $118 million they paid for Zack Wheeler gives them a bona fide No. 2. They hope a healthy Jake Arrieta can be a solid No. 3. And they hope one of the sputtering young guns from a season ago rises to the occasion at the bottom of the rotation.

3 reasons why the Flyers beat the Sharks at home to keep pace in the playoff race

by Evan Macy

The Flyers played a home game Tuesday night, which means they won. And while new additions Derek Grant and Nate Thompson didn't make a huge impact in Philly's 4-2X win to help them keep pace in a jam-packed Metropolitan Division, they did start, and their presence on the squad added to the energy.
