[Guy Incognito]

4/3, 4:10p: Hellickson vs. Feldman
4/5, 7:10p: Eickhoff vs. Finnegan
4/6, 12:10p: Buchholz vs. Davis

A little weird, I thought Cincy usually had a noon game on Opening Day.

They should have scheduled it for noon. The weather doesn't look too good for the late afternoon/evening

Looks like three shutouts for the Phils.

Wait, WTF, you're telling me that my prized Opening Day game could be rained out due to a storm??????

Lineup:

Hernandez - 4
Kendrick - 7
Herrera - 8
Franco - 4
Saunders - 9
Joseph - 3
Rupp - 2
Galvis - 6
Hellickson - 1

Phillies begin season in Cincinnati with this lineup

The Phillies do not have a true number one starter. The team era will be high this season. The bats will have to
come alive right away so things don't turn ugly in the early going.

This is basically the same pitching staff that won 71 games last year.

Won't win you 90 games, for sure, but I'm pretty sure that's not the expectation.

Thank you, Buzz Killington

T-Minus 4 hours. Today's the best day ever

 

[Retroram52]

Not too shabby to start.

Here we go Phillies here we go!!!

It's looking better now than it was this morning. <50% chance of rain up til 9PM now.

Nice! Time for Cameron to jack a couple out!

 

[Omar 382]

Tommy Joseph goes DEEP today

 

[Guy Incognito]

Odubel is going yard on the third pitch.

 

[Omar 382]

This intro is a cross between tear-jerking and cheesy. I'm not sure if I want to throw up or cry or both.

 

[Cedrique]

Tommy Joseph? Odubel? You guys are amateurs--I'm calling a Hellboy HR.....and it isn't even going to be close

 

[Cedrique]

Ok, ok, that might be a little ambitious. I'm going with Rupp and Galvis, possibly back to back

 

[Omar 382]

Galvis homered on Opening Day last year, and hit leadoff the next game or something. I hope he doesn't hit a home run today

 

[Guy Incognito]

Who had Cesar in the HR pool?
