Pitching Summary:
Great job, Julio!
I concur. Julio is officially nominated as the play-by-play man for the Philliesphans board.
Can't let one guy do that all year..we need to pitch in and help.
No, no. This has to be a group responsibility, unless somebody (not me) is brave/crazy enough to try to do it all/most of the time. I'll be able to post lineups most of the time, but 7 pm games are a major conflict w/other responsibilities.
I know, I know. Just having some fun. Agreed can't let it fall on one guy.
I'll pitch in occasionally, but usually I'm doing something else while following the game.
Thanks to all who contribute.
A good start to spring training 2017. Of course, a game they should win easily but it's still good to win that kind of game. It's great to have baseball back.
Thanks, Julio. For those of us who had to work this afternoon, this was a great way to get the feel for how the game went. I often go through the PBP summaries on this site for games I can't watch/listen to live.
I do too but it felt weirdly intimidating to see it all on one page instead of over 11 or 12 pages. Even though it's clearly better/easier this way!
