Phillies Off-Season 2024-2025 (Part 2 including Spring Training)

Just assuming they made the commitment to try them every day and Rojas is still not 100%. My guess beyond opening day is that Rojas will start against LHP and Kepler and Marsh will get their off days on a rotating basis. No Weston Wilson around to sit both of them anyway. We could pinch hit Sosa for them against a lefty reliever late and then slide him in the OF defensively.

Against a lefty with normal splits I'd like to see Sosa and Rojas get ABs for sure. You have to use your roster, and Thompson has actually been good at doing this. Marsh/Stott will probably only get 2 ABs (max) vs Gore anyway since starters are not going deep in March...

Would be nice to trade Clemens for a RHB that mashes lefties...

For what it’s worth, I just got my free MLB TV package from T Mobile. Unfortunately in the area where I live, games in DC will be blacked out!

Can't you use a vpn to get around that?

[zambonir]

I've found the system actually recognizes and blocks some VPNs. But not always. but not everybody has or is savvy about VPNs. And the VPN on my phone doesn't let you pick location.

I guess on the computer. I am just too lazy and watch on the TV most of the time anyway.

I would pay extra to get the Nationals on my MLB package but they just don't let me. The Orioles and the Nationals are 2 of the 4 teams without a local DTC option this season. At least next year the Nationals are likely to be added to Monumental (which has the Caps and Wizards). For today I think I am scheduling a meeting at 4 PM this afternoon with some friends.

How do you stream it on the TV? If you use a Roku you can start it on the laptop, hit the Windows key + K and cast your screen.

For a VPN, I like Tunnelbear. Works on Android and iOS as well.

I am just using the MLB app (Fire TV or Roku). Have not tried casting (because usually the Phillies don't require VPN for me).
