Welp, the Phillies will unfortunately not be going undefeated in 2025. So close! HA!! 😂 Aaron Nola didn't really pitch that great as he gave up some key home runs. Not solo home runs either. Phillies fans including myself love Nola but, this long ball issue has been a problem dating back to even last season. Yes, it's clearly still absurdly early in the season but that's definitely an issue worth staying aware of. I believe Nola can make the proper adjustments but, lets hope he figures it out soon.

Nola ended up giving up five runs in five and a third innings of work. He did ring up National batters eight times so it wasn't like, completely awful especially considering the bullpen kept the Nationals at five runs. The offense certainly fell flat only scoring one run. It was strange to see though, because the offense was hitting the ball fairly sharply, they just couldn't keep it fair, or string hits together at the correct time.

Still, the vibes are certainly high and I am still over the moon baseball is back! The Phillies still look fairly sharp to start the year and today they make their home debut! I really wish I could be there with my son somehow!! I will get him to Philly someday soon! Hopefully this season!

Cristopher Sanchez starts on the mound today to start the series vs Colorado which is really nice. Having Sanchez be number four in the rotation says a lot about this Phillies pitching staff! I like Sanchez as a pitcher a lot and after making the All-Star team for the first time last season I believe he may be primed to have a career year in 2025.

My goodness the vibes are going to be ELECTRIC at Citizens Bank Park!! The stadium is going to be ROCKING!! One day I'd love to have season tickets and blog about the Fightins from the stadium! That would be the life for sure. Maybe take a few pictures. Just have a good time. GOALS.

But yes anyway, the weather is borderline perfect in the Philadelphia area! Mid to low 70's, mostly sunny!! You love to see it for the home opener!!
