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.
