Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports We have split-squad games today. I might miss the first inning of today’s games. We had a night last night, and I have to drive my wife to pick up her car.

Might the Phillies’ defense be, wait for it, good?

Might the Phillies’ defense be, wait for it, good?

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Don’t look now, but it’s probably more true than you think Remember when the team signed Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber to free agent contracts and the excitement they brought to what the offense could potentially be? Adding that duo to Bryce Harper, Rhys Hoskins and J.T. Realmuto led to dreams of an offense that pounded baseballs into dust, striking fear into the hearts of pitching staff and pitching coordinators across the game. Then, people slowly began to realize that that duo would in fact have to actually play the other...
