Spring Training Game 17 - Tuesday Afternoon, March 14th in Clearwater
Record - 7-9-1
One Sentence Summary: Cristopher Sanchez and a few other relievers were mashed by the Braves in this 15-5 loss.
What It Means: We have just two more weeks of exhibition baseball before the games start counting.
What Happened: Sanchez had been in the conversation for the team's fifth starter at the start of spring, but it seems as if he's better suited for a relief role. He gave up four runs on four hits and a walk in his one inning of work in this game. Nick Castellanos and Dustin Peterson both homered for the Phillies, while Scott Kingery raised his average to an unreal .522 (12 for 23) with two more hits.
Featured Card: Good for Kingery. He's making it a tough decision whether or not to keep him around for the opening day roster and I'm rooting for him to make it. He spent mostly all of last season in the minor leagues, and I don't have any 2022 cards of his in my collection. Per the TCDB, his one 2022 baseball card is a tough to find Topps Opening Day Luck of the Irish insert. He somehow completely missed out on appearing in the Lehigh Valley IronPigs team set.
Camp Head Count: 55

Camp Head Count: 55
Again, this is a somewhat misleading tally given the players who are currently appearing in the World Baseball Classic, and knowing Bryce Harper will begin the season on the 60-day Injured List. Additionally, the 55 includes Noah Song (rhp) who is still on the team's Restricted List.
