joe ears

Las Vegas - We don't normally handicap ears, but gotta delve into Joe Musgrove's auricles. Against the Mets, when he threw a 7 inning, 1 hit, 5 K gem, his ears were VERY shiny and VERY sweaty. In his last outing against the Dodgers, his ears didn't look as shiny or sweaty and he gave up 2 runs in 6 innings. Actually, don't care much about Joe's ears, but do care about his only start against the Phillies this season. Back in San Diego on June 23, he was MASHED by the Phils, giving up 7 hits and 6 earned runs in 6 innings. Speaking of mashing, the Phillies have lit up the scoreboard for 24 runs in their last four games. Not exactly over the moon about Philadelphia's starter, Ranger Suarez, but think that the home team has more than enough bats to RING the Liberty Bell!
