There was a promise in the last bullpen trust ranking that things will look different in short order. Well …
That is certainly the case. And it’s not just the Phillies’ pitching staff that Jhoan Duran has electrified. It’s not just the team itself. It’s an entire ballpark whenever the lights go dim, the spiders come out and Duran trots in from the lower of Citizens Bank Park’s double-decker bullpens.
But the changes go beyond Duran. David Robertson is here. And things will look even more different soon: José Alvarado is eligible to return on Tuesday, meaning someone is on his way out.
