I'm only guessing here, but that's probably due to JT not willing to sign until they got all of the offers in.

The wait goes both ways. It's like this every year now. DJ LeMahieu was only re-signed a couple weeks ago. Harper was a late free agent signing. It's business anymore.

Gonna be a cold one at the Bank today.

Little man is ready for Opening Day

[Noles20]

Oh yeah!!!

[smokew11]

great start

Nola was rolling until he missed that pitch

[Roose13]

Nice seeing the bullpen pitch well

[smokew11]

it was a bit of a rollercoaster at first

[Noles20]

I love watching the Phils. I understand why there is a day in between opening day and the second game but I hate it. So happy to have baseball back on time and I really can't wait to go to a game.

[Roose13]

Hearing the crowd cheer and boo, even just 8,500, is a welcome thing to hear.

[smokew11]

yeah I hate the day off. I guess it makes sense but i hate it

[smokew11]

not sure why they cant just have a double header on Day 2 if opening day is rained out

[Noles20]

Great win! Fun game to watch. Both pitchers working fast!!

[smokew11]

Really great win, clutch hitting and outstanding job by Wheeler and the bullpen.

I know it's super early but I really hope we can rely on this bullpen. If we can, we'll have a chance to win some games

great way to start the season

Sweep! Even better that it was the Braves.

[Roose13]

Tomahawk Sweep

[smokew11]

man Alvarado is a roller coaster

[smokew11]

thats the bullpen we all know

[Roose13]

161-1 it is, I guess.

[Noles20]

That better have been the last chance that Velazquez gets.

[Roose13]

Velasquez is a shame. He has the right tools, but he has ZERO consistency. It sucks.

[kev87lads]

Homers galore!

[smokew11]

bats finally came alive

[Noles20]

Loving this team so far this year.

[Roose13]

Totally unrelated to how much of a shitshow the Phillies are right now, I just love every promotion the IronPigs do. The latest is great

Phillies no longer a shitshow, now in first!

Also, what a wonderful tribute to Doc today, regardless if you think he should have had his number retired in Philly.

[smokew11]

I went down there today for Eagles practice, and we got out of the car just as the game ended. The atmosphere outside the stadium as people streamed out was absolutely electric. I was thrilled just to be there, it was the best I've felt at CBP in 10 years! Went to Xfinity Live before the practice and it was such a party atmosphere. Love meaningful baseball!

[Roose13]

Braves are 2 games back, and the Mets 2.5. I don't wanna count anyone out yet, but I fee like NY is starting to run out of gas. Braves and Phillies back in a division race? Feels like 2010 all over again!

[Roose13]

A great day for the Phanatic! Phillies can use the old design again.
