Ghosts of Matt Klentak past: Phillies vs. Red Sox preview

We’re almost at the All-Star Break which marks the ceremonial halfway mark of the baseball season. Yes, I know we’ve actually already passed the true halfway point of the season, but we also know the character’s name is actually Grogu. That doesn’t stop anyone from calling him “Baby Yoda,” and it doesn’t stop anyone from referring to anything before the All-Star Game as the “first half.”

While the Phillies’ schedule theoretically gets easier in the second half, they’ll be ending the first in a difficult fashion: By visiting Fenway Park to face the team with the best record in the American League.
