His Name is Alec Bohm
It all starts with third baseman’s name, Alec Bohm, of the National League, Philadelphia Phillies. He does reside from Omaha, Nebraska but, also loves the city of Philly with his new girlfriend, Erin Dolan.
The city smells so much whether it is Jalen Hurts’ ringing and wearing a newly brand and worn Super Bowl ring with Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan. Or, the touch of saying I dislike this city to do nothing and redeem himself with impressive numbers from the start of 2024 until now.
Bohm has put together a likable, impressive stat sheet with .283 AVG, 6 HR, and 72 hits. That is very impressive. It is cunning to understand the nature of Bohm. Somedays he looks like an All-Star from the previous year or understands the game unlike any of the online critics.
Bohm has reduced the amount of errors this year and looks poised to be a better fielder entering his prime. It remains to be seen how he will fare hitting wise but so far Bohm has not let up.
He has consistently hit grounders into the outfield assuming, a base hit, and growing. He can certainly continue to grow. It is just a matter of time before Bohm extends his bat for home run opportunities.

Welcome to the Big Leagues, Roman Anthony!
Roman Anthony, the top prospect in baseball, has been promoted to the Boston Red Sox major league affiliate.
This comes off news that Boston placed Alex Bregman on the IL and pushed to replace him with another surprising prospect, Marcelo Meyer.
And of course, did I mention, the incredible popularity of Kristian Campbell? These Sox are beginning to look like the classic poster room trio on my wall of rock band, Green Day.
Still, last night, was a memorable one for Anthony. If I had to predict, he would likely have to savor the moment now and enjoy a taste of what is to come in the minors. That way, he is more sharpened with his bigger frame than most to execute on lower strike zone pitches and knock it out of Fenway Park like, typically.
Typically, he has averaged .291, .894 OPS, and most significantly 18 homers. Those homers will come in handy after the injury departure of Tristan Casas as Anthony has the potential to slam one out in the highest percentile EV.

Bryce Harper on IL; Otto Kemp Promoted
Bryce Harper has been placed on the IL after undergoing wrist inflammation. This is unfortunate as the Phillies have been 0-5 since missing Harper.
Kemp is an undrafted free agent out of Division II who has made a tremendous impact in the minors. During his time, he has hit .313/.416/.594 in 269 plate appearances for Lehigh High Valley and has ascended the minor league rankings.
Today, he went 0-3 against Heaney (3.24) and struck out two. I personally caught his major league debut and thought he just may have been nervous but considering he played a premium position. He will have to bounce back when he faces stud Paul Skenes (2.05)!

No Apologies Asked in FSU Baseball Managerial Tirades
Today, there was an error made to the Florida State baseball scoreboard. None other than the manager and athletic director ranted about the call to wait one hour for a critical regional game to start in the midst of their plans.
Since when did you have to apologize in baseball managerial tirades or Major League Baseball for that matter?
We can take instances such as the famous ex-Seattle Mariners manager, Lou Piniella. No, I was not a fan for the way Ken Griffey Jr. went out because he did not approach the game much so like Piniella.
If Piniella roughened Griffey a bit, he would have been one of the best throughout his time but unfortunately there are other managers such as Dusty Baker who sat with Griffey depressed for sometime until that released into a tirade.
Tirades in baseball are not to be shelved. Take, Baker for example with numerous wins and a recent World Series win column with the Houston Astros.
The managers should not be blamed for eyeing the umpire then confronting the face of the media afterward. This is not a sham of mediocrity of what stands in the way at the class level.
Kevin O’Sullivan and Scott Stricklin should not be held accountable for their actions and rather the timing of the default situation.
