Dear Phillies...
Dear Phillies,
I think we might be on to something here. I've attended 3 games so far this season and in those games, the Phils are 3-0. You shut out the Marlins at the Home Opener 5-0 on April 5. Then, on May 10, you beat the Giants 6-3. And yesterday, you throttled the Rockies 9-3.
I'm not saying it's me, but you can't argue with the data. I parked in the same location all 3 games. I ate the same food (Bull's BBQ) before each game. I attended games with family members (the first two with my son and yesterday with my dad). The data doesn't lie. Analytics. It's a thing.
Odubel Herrera is 7 for 12 in those games with 2 runs and 4 RBI. Vince Velasquez is 2-0 with 18 strikeouts in 12.2 innings. Adam Morgan has pitched 2.1 innings and struck out 2 while not allowing any baserunners. Rhys Hoskins and Maikel Franco each have 4 RBI in those 3 games and Nick Williams is 3 for 4 with 2 RBI. Cesar Hernandez has a .400 OBP when I'm in the building.
For the good of the team, and dare I say, the good of the city's psyche, I think it would behoove the organization to make sure I'm in attendance at all remaining home games. You're 3-0 with me in the seats. I've crunched the numbers. To paraphrase Jack Nicholson, you want me at those games. You need me at those games.

Welp, there it is. The Phillies new City Connect uniform. It's awful. An assault to the eyes. And barely a connection to the city. Sur...
