Home Stank Home

By
The Phillies are in the midst a big interleague homestand. Three series featuring the AL Eastern division. So far on the homestand, the World Champions are 1-6, with two games left to play against the Orioles. The Phillies have won only 5 of their last 20 games at home that weren't against the Nationals. The Phils have only won back to back games against non-Nationals opponents ONE TIME (April 19th against the Padres and April 21st against the Brewers).

The Phillies' lead off batter, Jimmy Rollins, who nearly reached 90 straight plate appearances without a walk recently, is batting just .201 at home.

This home field disadvantage really just hurts my brain. I don't wanna talk about it anymore.

Diekman was charged with 5 earned runs in the outing. Diekman had spent time at instructional ball from

By
Venezuelan born right-hander Cristian Hernandez has begun to earn recognition as one of the Phillies most promising pitching prospects.
