Spring Training Game 30
Monday Afternoon, March 24th
BayCare Ballpark - Clearwater, FL
Record - 15-13-2
One Sentence Summary: The Phillies wrapped up their 2025 exhibition schedule with an 8-6 win over the Rays, before heading north for the season opener in Washington on Thursday afternoon.
What It Means: I listened to the entirety of this game during a nine-hour drive down to Myrtle Beach on Monday. Our oldest son's high school baseball team is playing its spring training games at the Cal Ripken Experience down here, and I had no qualms about re-arranging my work schedule to make sure I didn't miss a pitch. The Phillies' broadcast was looser than usual, which was a lot of fun to listen to, and the vibe of the entire game was, "Let's get this over with and get the season going."
What Happened: It was a little concerning the team's fifth starter to begin the season, Taijuan Walker, didn't look crisp. He allowed four runs on six hits and three walks in his four-inning outing. The Phillies' offense banged out eight doubles in the game, from Kyle Schwarber, Rafael Marchan, Johan Rojas, Edmundo Sosa, Kody Clemens and a few other prospects joining the club for the day.
Featured Card: I recently added this card to my collection, as I hadn't been aware of its existence until recently. I can't wait to get back to the ballpark.

None of these moves will be official until Thursday, but Ranger Suarez (lhp) and Weston Wilson (inf) will start the season on the injured list. Andrew Painter (rhp) will be reassigned to the minor leages. And Buddy Kennedy (inf) will be traded or designated for assignment. Clemens beat out Kennedy for the final open roster spot, and Kennedy is out of minor league options.
