Max Muncy is at third base and is batting second against Phillies starting pitcher Jake Arrieta, while Matt Beaty is at first and is hitting fifth. Muncy continues to produce after his br[...]

As re-assuring as those high ranks are to see on your team, perhaps theres another one lying in the weeds, p[...]
