Solid debut for Zach Eflin, a good day for Johan Camargo, and quiet bats: Notes from Phillies’ 4-1 loss to the A’s

PHILADELPHIA — Over their first two games, the Phillies introduced fans to their new-and-improved offense in spectacular fashion.

Aaron Nola stumbles after strong start, but Phillies hit their way to 9-5 win over A’s in opener

PHILADELPHIA — Phillies right-handed pitcher Aaron Nola, making his fifth consecutive opening-day start, looked incredibly efficient with a 6-1 lead over the Oakland Athletics through six innings on Friday.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — When spring training began last season, the computer models at Baseball Prospectus put Atlanta’s odds of winning the National League East at 20-to-1. Eight months later, the Braves were World Series champions. That’s not a knock on analytics, it’s a nod to unpredictability.

David Murphy: Bryson Stott belongs in the majors. The Phillies had no choice but to find out if he is a star.

Marcus Hayes: ‘Nobody in here is scared’, says Phillies slugger Kyle Schwarber as Mets loom in the NL East

CLEARWATER, Fla. — As Joe Girardi walked through the back corridors of the Phillies’ clubhouse Monday morning, he came upon Kyle Schwarber and Rhys Hoskins, dressed in shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops, pantomiming phantom swings. Two hours later, Schwarber hit his first home run of spring training.
