1-2 is not great

Maybe it because I love the Phillies so much that a 1-2 start is not good for the team.

Here are my impressions through three games.

Opening Day, the bullpen broke down against Washington. Still would like to know if I as a fan can see things at home, why those in the dugout can't.

It was pretty obvious to me that Tom Gordon did not have it opening day, yet, Chuckles left him out there.

In game two, outside of the first inning, Cole Hamels pitched a gem, but baseball's best line-up did hit.

Yesterday, the fielding left the team down. Thought for a while I was watching a high school game.

Charlie, Chuckles or Bobblehead, or even the Red Devil, needs to let his bullpen pitchers pitch. J.C. Romero can throw two innings. In Charlie's first two years as skipper, he tends to get locked into that one inning, one inning bit. He still hasn't learned that his closer shouldn't be brought into a tie game. They don't have the mindset for that.

Also like it that, we're hearing less and less of Chris Wheeler. That's a huge positive in my book.

It's not time to panic yet with a 1-2 record, but they could easily be 3-0.
