[zambonir]

Pretty fun game. Man, there is nobody there! And I gotta say, for all the early focus on the manager, the reality is, the talent level of the Phillies at this time - with all these rookies and second-year guys, inconsistent SPs and the big bullpen $ on the DL - is a team that is no better or worse than the Braves or the Reds. We haven't even seen them play a top team yet (the Mets' start aside). We'll see what they are in a month.

[LoneStarPhan]

Neris locks down the win. The shift worked well on Votto in that at bat. I still think that players are missing out when they don't do anything to take advantage of almost half the infield open.

Phillies out hit 11-6, but ride the 3 home runs to victory. Kudos to Hoskins, Kingery, and Williams.

Phillies win the first against the Reds. Let's get another tomorrow.

[EDmuch]

To me the only soft spots in the order are Right Field and. Catcher. The rest of the lineup seemes ok (that assumes Kingery at SS).

[BostonRoss]

It was fun to listen to even if it was frustrating at times. The Phillies aren't very good (I am surprised so many people picked them to be over .500 in the preseason poll), but while some of the young players will never amount to anything, a few of them should improve a lot. Some of them (Hoskins, Hernandez, Herrera) are pretty good now. If a couple of others emerge and the Phils can get a big bat next season, the offense could be pretty good in 2019. I'm less optimistic about the pitching, though.

[zambonir]

Santana is actually not that good at the plate so far, even though it feels like he's had more than a few good games. I think Alfaro has been a surprise, actually. There's no way both of these catchers are on the team next year IMO.

[RTaylor]

Some successful defensive positioning tonight, and the power has been encouraging. I think they have an unusual amount of raw talent. Hoskins is amazing.

[LoneStarPhan]

I see a ton of potential but that has to continue to show in performance to mean anything. Still, as much as we have discussed how badly things have gone so far this season, a win tomorrow and they can be a .500 team after the first ten games. To be sure, they are not facing the cream of the crop in MLB, but I expect they can play .500 or batter for the year. Time will tell.
