I have only watched parts of the first 4 games. As much as I love baseball I'm having a hard time getting back into it. Nothing can match that excitement we had last year when we were hanging on every pitch. I'll get there soon, hopefully, with the warmer weather showing up. it just won't be the same. I think the Phils will really miss Hoskins this year. for all of his short comings in the field, his bat far out weighed those. his presence in the line up was a big part of the Phils success. and obviously missing Harper for half the season is crushing. How can you replace Harper's and Hoskins 60-70 homers in the lineup ? hopefully turner will be a big part of that but after him, even if Casty reverts back to form, they are missing a lot. Jake Cave?? I doubt it. A full season of Marsh and Sosa? probably not. the pitching will round into shape. not worried about wheeler and AF was right about walker. from what I saw last night his stuff did look good. Nola should be good again, but I'm pretty happy the Phils did not give him his huge contract yet. We'll see. I'll get into it soon but as of now the memories of last year are still fresh and it's tough to move on to a new season.
