We finally got some live Phillies baseball that we can watch this weekend and that means we can make some initial impressions. There were two games that we could draw from: one in which some of the kids started and played a bit and one where the regular lineup looked a little more intact. It was enough to lead with this question today: what is the first impression you have from watching the Phillies this weekend?
Most eyes are going to be drawn to Justin Crawford, perhaps rightly so. He’s one of the rookies that is expected to not only make the initial Opening Day roster, but he’s also expected to produce at least a little bit. How he fares this year is going to go a long way in determining future roster decisions, so it is natural to be drawn to him. There were others that were interesting though, so which ones?
