In what has become a right of passage in Spring Training, the Phillies will start their exhibition season with a visit from the Florida State Seminoles baseball team today at 1:05 pm.
Here is today’s starting lineup for the Phillies:
- Shane Victorino CF
- Placido Polanco 3B
- Raul Ibanez DH
- Ryan Howard 1B
- Ben Francisco LF
- Domonic Brown RF
- Carlos Ruiz C
- Pete Orr 2B
- Wilson Valdez SS
The starters will likely get a couple of hacks and then make way for some of the backups. Chase Utley is fine, Charlie Manuel will give him a few days off because of body soreness, according to Dave Murphy of the Daily News. Manuel told the media Utley had been doing some heavy lifting and a lot of extra work in the field. Jimmy Rollins is at a White House function today celebrating Motown. Not a bad day off for J-Roll.
Here is today’s pitching schedule:
Thursday vs. Florida State
- SP: RHP Drew Naylor
- LHP Juan Perez
- RHP Mike Stutes
- RHP Mike Schwimer
- RHP Justin DeFratus
- RHP Scott Mathieson
You can keep up with the game through Dave Murphy’s other twitter account @HighCheeseGamer (if you have twitter).

I can’t find Gameday (or At Bat), and Gameday Audio doesn’t seem to be available, but my Harry Kalas program is working! (albeit a bit delayed). We’re in the bottom of the first, and Polanco got the Phils’ first hit of the season. Ibanez also got a hit. We’re off to a good start this year!

@Pat: You can also get a play-by-play in XML format that’s not too terribly hard to read:

The main trick is figuring out which team is at bat!
Still 4-0 Phils, going into the top of the 4th.
