Everyone is a World Series Contender on Opening Day lol!
20 mins to go. Glad we are opening up with the phils. They are rebuilding also. I do want to see what Nola can do though.
I get what you are saying, but they owned us last season. Starting off that way again... I hate Hernandez and HoskinsQuote:

I hope we just get a hit at some point in this game. 0 so far
Dang Flowers hurt in first AB. SMH.
Nola on the mound... do not expect it. Like all Phillies, he owns usQuote:

Whoever said he wasn't? But BP did a great job at 3rd and was one of our power hitters. And someone please make scruffy he is not. Need you on base, not trying to hit homers.Quote:

Acuna is not up bc we gain a year of control by keeping him down till April 14. Same thing cubs did with kris BryantQuote:

I do not agree with chipper on that. Acuna destroyed A+, AA, and AAA last season, and destroyed mlb spring training this year. Pache has yet to get an .800 ops at any level. Acuna has not been below .800. Acuna is 20 and pache is 19, so age is very comparable. Pache is better with the glove though. I actually think pache will explode and be a huge prospect, but acuna already isQuote:
