If you're heading out to Citizens Bank Park tonight or tomorrow to watch the Phillies face the Red Sox, here are a few things you should know:* You may see some unfamiliar names and faces on the field for the Phillies. RHP Joe Bisenius (left), OF Ron Calloway and IF Brent Abernathy have traveled here for the games, but they're expected to be assigned to Triple-A Ottawa after the weekend. Also, minor-league RHP Ryan Cameron, RHP Kyle Kendrick, RHP Julio De La Cruz and IF Carlos Leon made the trip, even though none will be on the Phillies' opening-day roster. Bisenius, in particular, is worth watching. He's had an excellent spring, and if the Phillies need to bolster their bullpen early in the season, he's their best in-house option.
*Still looking to get tickets for the games? Tonight is your best bet. As of yesterday, the Phillies were expecting 25,000 to 29,000 fans tonight, 37,000 to 42,000 tomorrow. But, if you want to catch a glimpse of Daisuke Matsuzaka tomorrow, tickets are still available. And there are always standing-room tickets.
