Welp you can already see where the new lineup is paying off...

Maikel Franco, who led the Phillies in batting average last season (.270) and had 22 HR's now hits 8th lmao.

Odubel Herrera, who was an All-Star for the Phillies just 2 seasons ago and typically hit in the 3 hole before, now hits 6th.

That inning was absolute philth

holy shit, inciarte had no idea wtf he was swinging at

0-3 3k's, rekt

Nola looking comfortable as fuck out there, five K's looking.

This guy wants a Cy Young in his cabinet

Gotta say Bryce ain't doing shit today rofl

good thing our 1-2-5 hitters from last year are like 6-7-8 now

lineup so deep now our best hitters last year are now our worst hitters this year.

Phillies literally went out this off-season and acquired 4 of our top 5 hitters in the lineup, three of which are All-Stars (Harper, Realmuto, Segura) and the other is McCutchen.

Not worried about the lineup as much as I am the back end of the rotation.

Kapler learned from last year to not take his ace out after 5 innings of shutdown pitching.

So that's good.

But Hector Nerris warming up, good god, that's not good.

No changes yet

Kap getting the itchy finger

At 100 pitches for opening game, they should probably go to the pen, but probably not to Hector Nerris.
