Meh - not enough strikeouts.

Cole looks outstanding. Another 1-2-3 inning. Two grounders to 3rd and 3-1 to end the inning. Threw a lot of effective cutters and had good life on his fastball.

Ok, maybe he should not have come back out for the 4th, but that performance by Cole today was very, very encouraging.

JC Ramirez strikes out Josh McDonald on three pitches. Hitting 93mph on his fastball. Good breaking ball on strikeout pitch.

Really good breaking ball and 92-93 on fastball. K, single to RF, K, 4-3.

Is it my imagination or has Mayberry Jr. been hitting nothing but line drives all spring? I wonder if our Manager's hitting expertise has "sunk in". He could be a very valuable chess piece!

Ok to say this now, in ST, as long as we're not saying this in June, July, or even April. If we are, then we're in trouble.

Ramirez's 2nd inning: single to LF, pop up to 3rd, fly out to shallow CF, K on breaking ball in the dirt.

Long home run to LF by Cody Ransom. 4-2 Phils
