No one is happy with the start to this season. After six straight years of underwhelming Phillies baseball, everyone was hoping 2018 would be different. We had a young exciting team, a new look manager, and a city that’s beginning to expect success from its sports teams.
And yet, here we are. Five games into the season, the Phillies are 1-4 and many people are already calling for Gabe Kapler’s head. At the home opener today, Kapler gets his first introduction to Phillies fans, and I fear the worst. With the various missteps of the opening week, the boo birds could be out in full force today.
