FC x2

Interested to see what Folty does today. Very encouraged to start the season and if this is the year that he actually becomes the guy we think he is, it would be huge for this team moving forward.

We definitely know we will be seeing a LH out of the pen tonight from Kapler.

The Phillies really are doing odd things.

The controversy of not starting Herrera opening days because his swing path wasn't conducive to hitting Teheran (supposedly), and then starting him against Teheran a week later is comical.

They have someone with too much sway and too little brains incorrectly using data and misidentifying it as "analytics".

Even if were good data, you can’t manage a 162 game season like that. Save that **** for the playoffs.

Their analytics department doesn’t realize that it takes talent on the field to implement their ideas. Teams like the Astros can make a lot of crazy stuff look good because of thier talent.

Soroka gives up 2 hits, records 1 K in 1st inning vs Rail Riders in Gwinnett

Acuna leads off and singles. Camargo hitting 2nd singles but Acuna out at 3rd I think, Peterson singles behind Camargo(to 2nd)

Folty is just throwing, has no idea where anything is going

Classic Folty.

Folty just owned Herrera.

Olney tweeting that Stanton was just booed at Yankee stadium: GIDP with two on against the Marlins, down 3-0 (now 4-0). I'm sure he'll turn it around, but I'm not feeling a lot of sympathy for him (even if I don't blame him for influencing where the Marlins sent him).

Good inning.

I didn’t realize just how beastly Hoskins was.

That last sequence of dominant pitching was also classic Folty! Haha

He definitely looks like he’s pressing pretty hard. It’s bad though.

Inciarte with the hit!
