Yes, the Phillies bullpen is awful, but I’m really not sure it could be deployed in a worse fashion.

Although they don’t post here, whoever did the research behind the names for the @wpbl.bsky.social team names did a fantastic job. Naming teams after civil rights and women’s rights leaders, pioneers in professional fields, and female ballplayers is fantastic.
