Not losing 13-5 and starting off 1-6 would be good this year....

I would like to think that we'll stop sucking ass in April and then having to play catch up, but eh.
The pitching staff is in shambles and the bullpen sucks ass. So we'll see.
Hope I'm wrong.
I'm not. I honestly think we have the edge in the pitching matchup the first two games of the season.

^^^It's a smart move, but Pat may surprise us this year.
Obviously this series will be a tempo setter for our season.

Why?
Myers and Smoltz are about even and Hamels has been playing like crap recently.
He's probably given up about 8 homeruns in his last 2 or 3 games.
We've hit Smoltz well in the past, and I don't put too much stock in struggles in spring training, particularly if the pitcher is throwing strikes.

I love the Phillies specific board...
While yesterdays game was frustrating and there was some forshadowing for what may be to come (keeping starters in too long to protect the bullpen, bullpen meltdowns, etc...), it was only one game... I expected to win 2 out of 3, so I'm not ready to give up on the season...

Up until the 8th inning I was going to say Brett was pitching a far better game than his ERA would indicate. I think he had like 3 hits and 2 walks through 7 innings. great WHIP, great K's, locating his pitches. Everything going well.
But man, with 2 outs and an 0-2 count. You cannot make that pitch. Cannot. Huge mistake.
He deserved the no decision.

I'm sure he didn't mean to throw it right down the middle.
Everyone makes mistakes, his just happend at an in opportune time.

3 runs over 7.2 is deserving of a ND? Not sure about that.
