Home Stank Home

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.

Can I really call him a friend, if he's actually my friends' friend , and I only prank called him once? Sure, why the heck not?!

2022 Top Phillies Prospects Countdown: #13 OF Ethan Wilson

A co-freshman of the year in 2019, with South Alabama, Wilson has been on the radar of some big league teams for quite a while.  In his junior season last year, Wilson batted .313 with seven home runs and 30 RBI.  When his collegiate season was through, the lefty hitter quickly debuted in the minors.   In 30 games with Class A Clearwater last year, Wilson tallied a .215 average with three homers, 17 RBI and two steals. Listed at six-foot-one, 210-pounds, Wilson opened the 2022 campaign with Class A Advanced Jersey Shore.  The 22-year-old has been slow to start offensively, but confidence and poise are not a problem for this strong, promising individual. On the base paths, Wilson is quick and can contribute with his feet.  Defensively, the Alabama native will likely play left or right field moving forward.  Possessing an ability t
