Final Thoughts
A very entertaining game. Between Mark Leiter’s superb pitching and Rhys Hoskins lighting up the scoreboard, the Phils produced a very satisfying win.
Phillies starting to build a line up. Hoskins asked Pete if he wanted him to drive in the runs or move the runners… he understands the game. He had an 8 pitch AB for the HR and his OBP is over 400. Hernandez, Williams and Altherr is over 350. Crawford and Kingery also have high OBP. Nola is real and I think of their other young pitchers 2-4 of them will show improvement…, a year away from exciting.., 2 from serious contenders
Paul come back… we will forgive your political views… come on Paul
Im finally starting to see some young talent actually live up to expectations
