Ryan Lawrence from Canada

Talked here with Ryan Lawrence, Delaware County Daily Times as the Phillies begin a three game series against the Blue Jays.  He said as long as the Phillies can stay within striking distance these next two months, they should have a fully healthy team for August and September to fight for a playoff spot.  The team has remained very even keeled and dont get too high, not too low.
