It was a roller coaster series for the Phillies against the Nationals last weekend. Unfortunately for the Phillies, there were more downs than ups. In Friday’s game, the Phillies had a 6-run top of the 4th inning to give them what seemed like a substantial lead against a not-so-good team. The only problem? The Nats answered with a 6-run inning …
In just his second season with the Phillies, shortstop Bryson Stott has looked like the same player he was advertised as when he was drafted in the first round of the 2019 MLB Draft. As of July 9, the “daycare” kid owns a .301 batting average, along with 7 home runs, 39 runs scored, and 33 RBIs. In 44 fewer …
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 …
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, …
To say the 2022 season was a disappointment for Nick Castellanos is an understatement. But this story actually starts at the end of 2021. Baseball was locked out, and Nick was coming off his career-best season in Cincinnati, hitting a career-high 34 home runs, an OPS of .939, and was voted to his first MLB All-Star Game. With an unusual …
After starting their season rocky, the Phillies have appeared to pull in the reins a little more, winning 6 of their last 8 games and taking a 3-1 series win over the Colorado Rockies at home. Let’s take a look at a few storylines from this weekend’s action. Storyline 1: A Closer Steps up It feels like it’s been a …
Is there any better time than the beginning of a new baseball season? The sun is shining, the music is bumping, sounds of baseballs smacking gloves, and dingers flying off the bats. Clearwater is the place to be at right now! But with every new season comes questions about what the fans should expect from the team this year. Obviously, …
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 …
Two more weeks. Two more weeks until the sound of a wood bat connecting with a ball echoes across Florida and Arizona ballparks. Two more weeks until players tell the media they’re in the best shape of their life and looking forward to a career year. Two more weeks until fans of every ball club talk themselves into a parade …
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.
