To say this Phillies season is a weird one is like saying Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback… it’s just a fact. The Phillies came into the 2023 MLB season as the defending National League Champions, entering with multiple questions marks surrounding the team. Would Kyle Schwarber continue to hit leadoff, or would he pass the mantle to newly signed …
You always hear it from Philadelphia sports fans. “We boo because we care.” You strike out again and are on an 0-30 slump at the plate? You’ll hear boos walking back to the dugout. You pass the ball instead of going for a wide-open dunk in the paint? Boos will rain down at the Wells Fargo Center. You head back …
For a team dubbed with the catchphrase “Smash the Bell” last season, the Phillies have not lived up to that praise this season. And, before you ask, no, this post is not about Kyle Schwarber. His 20 home runs rank him 6th throughout the MLB. You can be upset with his batting average or his fielding abilities, but you cannot …
The month of April has finally ended, and with it, one of the weirdest first months of baseball. From new rules being worked out to ERA’s skyrocketing, the year started lost for Philadelphia. At one point, Philadelphia sat 0-4 allowing 37 runs in the first 4 games, something they had not done since 1931. And then, things started to click. …
Currently sitting at 10-12 after this afternoon’s 4-3 victory over the Rockies, it has not been an ideal start to the season for the Phillies. Thus far, April has been marred by not-so-clutch hitting, injuries, and inconsistent pitching. A couple of positives over the past couple of weeks, though, have been the rapid development of the Daycare and the bullpen …
A 4-9 start is something no one had in mind following last year’s magical postseason run. The Phillies will enter Friday night off to their slowest start to a season since 2015 when the rebuilding club finished 63-99. The only teams with a lower winning percentage than the Phils are the Oakland A’s and the Detroit Tigers. Luckily, Philadelphia sports …
Alec Bohm’s career with the Philadelphia Phillies has had plenty of ups and downs, with a hot start to the season, has Alec figured it out? Drafted in the first round of the 2018 draft, the 6ft5in 3rd baseman out of Wichita State came in with massive pedigree and ran through the Phillies farm system, making his MLB Debut in …
Yesterday afternoon, the Phillies opened their season at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas to take on the Rangers. The first three innings could not have opened any better with the Phils tagging Jacob deGrom for five runs on six hits––all for extra bases. Then the Rangers closed the roof to stop the rain––literally and figuratively. After struggling with command …
Over the past few weeks, injuries have begun to pile up for the Phillies. First it was Andrew Painter, who sprained his UCL in his first spring start. Next it was Ranger Suarez, who came home early from the World Baseball Classic due to a tender forearm and may begin the season on the injured list following continued elbow inflammation. …
With pitchers and catchers reporting to camp this week, baseball season is officially upon us. If you’re like me, the excitement is building within you as it is for the Super Bowl on Sunday night. The Eagles and Phillies are similar in many ways––both made an appearance in their respective league championships, are budding with young stars, and have given …
