Phillies fans packed out Citizens Bank with Red October rally towels waving overhead. All throughout last season’s playoff run, Phillies fans made sure homefield advantage was felt, with national attention realizing the Phillies may in fact have the biggest homefield advantage in baseball. Throughout the NL Wild Card Series, the fans not only showed up, but blew away expectations. “It’s …
Memorial Day is typically the first checkpoint in the marathon season that is Major League Baseball. Entering the first weekend series of June, the Phillies sit eight games back in the NL East with a record of 25-31. They are just one game above the last-place Nationals. To right the ship in 2022, the Phillies parted ways with their manager, …
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 …
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. …
The World Baseball Classic is taking place from March 7th to the 21st this year. Phillies fans are looking forward to watching it because many of the team’s beloved players have an active role on different rosters. Catcher JT Realmuto, Outfielder Kyle Schwarber, and Shortstop Trea Turner are on the roster for Team USA this year. Unfortunately, previously committed Bryce …
Well, Game 3 was fun. Games 4 and 5…not so much. The Phillies are down 3-2 in the World Series after losing the final two at Citizens Bank Park this week. With the series heading to Houston for its final stretch this weekend, the Phils certainly have their backs against the wall. The Astros, after winning 106 games this season, …
Yesterday afternoon, 45,538 fans packed into Citizens Bank Park anxiously anticipating the return of playoff baseball in South Philadelphia. It had been over a decade since the Phillies legendary PA announcer Dan Baker read the starting lineups before a postseason game. Over those long years, Baker announced lineup after lineup of no-name players––guys who came to Philly to resurrect what …
The Phillies aren’t the only ones with a playoff drought on the line this September. Their second baseman, Jean Segura, has never played meaningful baseball in October in his 11 year big league career. It’s personal for him––he’s been waiting his entire career for the opportunity to make an impact in the postseason, and his play recently has been indicative …
Rob Thomson. The bullpen. The resurgence of JT Realmuto. Rhys Hoskins’ hot streaks. Nick Castellanos is getting better. The return of Jean Segura. The defense and emergence of Alec Bohm (future Gold Glover). So many things have gone right for the Phillies since they began their hot streak at the beginning of June. The overall improvement and belief that the …
