It’s been over a week since my last report. I’ll go into why later and provide an updated list of the players I’ve seen at the Complex. This list has grown to a lot more than the 36 players I reported last time. But, first yesterday’s observations. (This could be a long one.) (It is long. Look how late it is for a Tuesday report. Sorry.) Continue reading Minor League Spring Training 2021, (4/13/21)

The Phillies are 5-3 overall, 2-3 this week before tonight’s series finale against the Braves. I’ll probably be in bed before the game is over, so I thought I would get this ready to publish around 1:00AM.
In the National League the Phillies are sitting pretty much middle of the pack offensively .242/.321/.373/.694 (5th/7th/9th/7th), 12th with an 8.14% BB%, 14th with a 28.47% K%, and 9th with 3.44 runs per game.
Their pitching is a little better. They are tenth in the NL with a 9.63 K/9, 4th lowest with a 3.25 BB/9, 8th with a 3.75 ERA. They have 2 saves in 2 save opportunities.

Groups were already on the back fields (Carlton and Roberts). Players were drifting onto Schmidt and Ashburn. Continue reading Minor League Spring Training 2021, (4/5/21)

Real baseball has returned. And, what Phillies fan could ask for any better start to the season than what transpired in chilly Philadelphia the past 4 days.
Minor League Spring Training 2021, (4/3/21)
Against my better judgement, I drove over to the Complex after my morning “run”. I pulled up about 10:37 AM and saw a couple buses discharging players at the entrance to the main, secured parking lot. It’s reserved for BayCare Ballpark employees year-round and major league players and staff during spring training. Continue reading Minor League Spring Training 2021, (4/3/21)
