Phillies' 2025 Season Opener - GDT #1: 3/27/25 Phillies(0-0) @ Nationals(0-0) - 4:05pm

[BelmontShore]

Pitchers ahead of hitters, apparently.

[BelmontShore]

All these swings are so, so long. Sooooo long.

No one is quick to the ball.

9ks for Gore through 4.

Hitters still suck. Still seeing a ton of swings trying to launch the ball. Need to shorten the swings and put the ball in the gaps.

Gore may break the strikeout record today.

A whole lot of swinging for the fences from these guys. Considering the shadows right now, I'm not sure what their approach is.

haha "approach"

I had thought about putting that in quotes, but it is only the first game of the season. I figured I'd wait until tomorrow.

1st game of season but we've seen this approach for years so its just a continuation.

[Helios1989]

Just got home in work in time to see us strike out 3 times. 1 looking and 2 swinging at garbage. I guess I can't say we aren't consistent with our great hitting coach leading the way.

[sentinelhyder]

i dont know, maybe have the closer close?

[sentinelhyder]

stott swung at ball 4 to end the threat there.

[wrench248]

I'm not sure what they see in Brandon Marsh. Nothing but a platoon player (at best). Watched a ball go right down the middle for his fourth strikeout.

I'd rather see Rojas out there, if anything at least the defense would be better.

[wrench248]

And Bohm smokes that pitch for a two run double.

5-3 Phils
