There was a long stretch of games that the Phillies had without a scheduled day off. Sure, they got a lucky break with the rainout last week, but still, when you see the calendar like that, you tend to wander to when your next day off will be.
The Phillies looked like they were ready for a day off yesterday, playing without a whole lot of fire outside of a fired up Alec Bohm. It’s totally fine too. Baseball players get worn down during the season and crave those off days. With one in sight, logically you’d imagine the team was looking at it with hungry eyes.
