  • Kyle Schwarber Asked About Joining Hometown Team in FA

    When asked about joining his hometown Cincinnati youth in free agency by Scott Lauber of the Inquirer, Kyle Schwarber candidly said, “Being able to play for your childhood team is something that I think it’d be awesome.”

    Awesome, you might add Lauber decided to ask, “Being a baseball fan and growing up and watching Cincinnati baseball for your whole youth, that’s how fall in love with baseball, I would draw your attention, right?”

    The Reds are in the thick of a Wild Card race with first year manager Terry Francona leading a 58-54 record. Cincinnati has pitching prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder called up and you could argue the best home run leader of his generation compared to Babe Ruth would make a swing for the fences in Great American Ball Park.

    Citizens Bank Park might become more dwindling as days countdown. We will never know an answer unless the Philadelphia Phillies, play ball to the drum of the history of Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt, Bryce Harper, and Kyle Schwarber.

  • The Meaning of Topper

    The Meaning of Topper

    What is the meaning of topper? Simply, Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson but what does it also mean to be him?

    Well, nobody has gone exclusively inside the mind of Thomson but for one, he likes to devote all his time and energy to the players.

    What is a topper anyway? But, sounds cool for a coach that has become the winningest manager in Phillies history in three short seasons with a .575 win percentage and there have been many great managers such as Dallas Green, Larry Bowa, and Charlie Manuel.

    Topper is a genius with his cards. He goes to work and now has led Philadelphia to three consecutive postseason appearances. And every time he returns, Thomson comes fierce like a shark but with an iota.

    This year, the Philadelphia Phillies had to get pegged down an iota from the postseason but Thomson, with his contract restored beyond 2025, will indeed have plans to fish in huge.
