Biggest Takeaways from Phillies Opening Day

For the first time in what felt like forever, we had REAL Phillies baseball yesterday. Roughly 120 days removed from their scheduled season opener, the Phillies made their season debut against the Miami Marlins.

Usually, teams all across the MLB would be knee-deep in trade rumors as teams looked to shore up any weaknesses for a second-half push. This year, however, we’ll have to settle for the season opener as a Christmas in July gift of sorts. The gift of the Phillies Opening Day may not have brought the fireworks Philly faithfuls would like to see, but it wasn’t without its highlights.
