But anyway. There's Phillies news to report. Remember Seranthony Dominguez? Hard-throwing righty who did wonderful things in the bullpen until his arm blowed up in the first part of last season? Instead of getting Tommy John surgery, he decided to rest it instead of cut it.
So flash forward a year, and guess what? Dominguez is going to have the surgery soon. Which means he'll have lost a minimum of two years of his career. The typical recovery time is 12 to 18 months, which means, maybe the end of the 2021 season, if there is one.
Because the owners and players can't agree on who will get how much to start the 2020 season. There were hopes they'd starting playing by the Fourth of July. As Yogi used to say, it's getting late early.
And because I wake up insanely early for no good reason, I've been watching Korean baseball on ESPN. There are no fans in the stands and Boog Sciambi is doing the play-by-play from his house. And there are some familiar faces in those games, including former Phillie Aaron Altherr. He kinda stunk as a Phillie. And he kinda stinks in Korea, too.
