The rolling boxes link seems to be randomly linking to pages for other teams...today I got the Yankees page, for example, and yesterday the pages for the Rays and Angels came up at different times. Any ideas?

[Squire]

I had the same problem last night. Not sure but I'll keep an eye on it and see if anything comes to mind.

[phillychuck]

Probably an MLB problem ... they seem to have relatively frequent tech issues. Just tried it ... first click went to the White Sox, I came back and next time went to the Phils... weird.

The rolling box link has been 50-50 for me the last couple of days. I think the team ID of 143 in the link above is correct along with the date though so nothing more we can do.

Hopefully we see Gage Wood in the second Clearwater game.

Dominant outing for him

[Squire]

Wood done for the day

4IP, 1H, 0R, 1BB, 7K

I actually see this Phillies system deeper than most people. There is talent here, just need the performance this year to be stronger.

[owaistabish]

Youngerman also looked very good. Nice fastball and the curve was also located well.

[andyb]

Hopefully this stay in Clearwater is short for Wood. Avoid the cold weather and work on a couple of things against inexperienced hitters and then off to the shore in May.

Reading by late July...

[andyb]

Not a good start 2 for Wheeler.

My goodness- the 4 seamer was hopping above bats at 96-97 and did not lose steam as he worked. Nasty sliders to righty’s, curves to lefties, and a couple of good change ups. He threw a lot of sinkers to at 96- well placed to righties but seemed to pull off and miss down and in frequently to lefties.

Bowker 92-94 should be good but from him it just looked like he was slinging. He’s gonna have to be 94-96 to be good. A little frisbee slider was good enough against low A righties but otherwise he had no secondary to throw lefties.

Not a good start 2 for Wheeler

91-93, mostly 92. Breaking stuff was flat and he was really wild when he tried to muscle up.

I don't even have to "go back" and try again; just reload the page (Ctrl-R, or Cmd-R, depending on your OS) and it pulls the Phils' data. The link is correct.

My uninformed guess would be that, for whatever reason, the server (mlb.com's problem, not ours) isn't parsing the full link the first time - when you're already on their page, it parses correctly, but when you 're coming from outside, it fails - give up part way through parsing the link. Strange. But it's easy enough to deal with; just reload the page.

Was bummed that neither Spikerman nor Mathison were in the lineup for Jersey Shore last night.

[andyb]

Mitch Rupert had Gage Wood with 13 swings and misses during his outing but Youngerman with only 1.
