1 of 2 Trea Turner’s home runs on a national televised night between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies. Turner collected some defensive miscues but pulled out the W thanks to helpful home runs by Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh and Christopher Sanchez’ resiliency on the mound, striking out the modern Babe Ruth, Shohei Ohtani, twice!

The Case in the MLB CBA Pudding
Very soon MLB league officials will gather as part of a new CBA agreement. Many people think the owners will agree on a new payroll establishment while one CBA rests on the morals and values of revenue disparity.
Many do not want a lockout and more certain change has added onto the bonus of ABS, pitching clock, and other tools for the game to unlock except payroll despair. The Tampa Bay Rays currently rank first and have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball.
The Los Angeles Dodgers may be a hot topic of discussion for right now but Shohei Ohtani is a global phenomenon who busts his tail off.
More will arise out of division and defensive realignment. Rob Manfred wants to push the narrative that this is a new age of baseball.
Whatever happens, the players are owed the dignity and integrity of the sport.

Kyle Schwarber is Doing It Again
Kyle Schwarber has found his swing again as the Philadelphia Phillies are in second place of the NL East division. He currently leads MLB in home runs and is showing no signs of stopping.
Aaron Judge, Byron Buxton, and Munetaka Murakami trail with 15 homers and are not defiance. Schwarber and the Phillies said good bye to Rob Thomson on April 28 and ever since, went 11-2. Hitting coach Kevin Long has to be pleased.
Schwarber wanted to test the market in the off-season and so far he has made the right decision in Philadelphia’s hitter friendly ball park.
If he keeps this up, he can certainly live up to the Designated Hitter David Ortiz was to Boston and play an entire career in Philadelphia. He recently hit a Schwarbomb off former teammate Ranger Suarez and said after the game how he was like a brother during his time in Philadelphia.
Brotherly Love is the best way to describe it as Schwarber encompasses.

MLB Roundup: Sailing Ship in Boston, Phillies Struggle, Rockies Accomplished What?
The Colorado Rockies accomplished a sweep over the New York Mets this past weekend. New York officially rank last in the MLB standings.
Much is to be said about New York’s loss but what about their division rival, Philadelphia Phillies? Philadelphia have long withhold most of their roster problems than New York and rank second to last in the NL East.
Alex Cora got fired. In my opinion, this is no surprise as baseball organizations cannot keep everyone around forever.
Boston Red Sox fans receive the John Henry silence.

Is Bryce Harper Elite?
Last night was a travesty for Team U.S.A. They allowed Venezuela to win cleanly, absolutely fair. There was nothing U.S.A. could do except for Bryce Harper.
Harper tied a must-critical game for USA when it mattered most. Even though Venezuela got away with a win, Harper flipped his bat like nothing came back to haunt him.
Harper has played like this on a lesser stage, just not enough. The Philadelphia Phillies have been asking a whole lot of Harper since entering town.
When ranking the Phillies top five players entering 2026, it is Harper, Scwharber, Duran, Turner, Sanchez that must start with a big impact. If Harper is ever convincing himself, he is prowess to the baseball gods.
Harper will have to play with the same chip on his shoulder until time finally expires. Time expires to the point of exhaustion for Harper to do his job and that is at least win a World Series and prove he is better than all the rest that include Shohei Ohtani, Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge.
Harper is capable. He just needs to walk out to Phillies regular season baseball with an elite smile. 🙂
