The Phillies are buzzing right now. 10 straight home wins, four game sweep of the Giants, and 17-4 in their last 21. They’re getting hot early which is something we haven’t seen in forever. You’d think they’d lose some steam after losing Trea Turner for six weeks. Turns out they’ve kept the good times going by trolling him in the dugout every time they do something good without him:

The fact the utility guy who’s had a cup of coffee with the Phils can rib the $300 million everyday player tells you everything you need to know about this team. They stay loose and sexy, baby:

Merrifield has started heating up. He stepped up Monday with an RBI single in the 4th to break a tie game and a stolen base. This was after he jacked a home run in a blowout on Saturday. The only thing he’s done wrong so far was forget to acknowledge the bullpen:
