The Philadelphia Phillies Baseball team is hopefully swinging into the playoffs. The team this season has been doing great, some say they’re going to make it to the World Series and win it all.
Former student at Bucks, Jared Roberts expressed, “I feel very confident with where this team is heading into postseason, reflecting on last year they coasted into the playoff’s while this year they feel more complete despite being down main players.”
Though they may have some injuries and maybe a few disadvantages they need to work on, they’re capable of solving those disadvantages as a team.
Baseball over the years has evolved; it’s fast paced, with a greater focus on statistics and strategy. Players train harder and follow highly specific rules nowadays.
Not only has the way to play the sport evolved, but watching it has also changed significantly, transformed with the rise of TV streaming and social media marketing.
Overall, baseball keeps adapting while still holding onto its classic routes.
The Phillies are at a disadvantage by being down without their ace, Zach Wheeler, who underwent thoracic outlet decompression surgery, is expected to be on the sideline recovering for the next 6-8 months.
Several other key members are dealing with injuries that could impact the team’s overall performance.
This, along with other setbacks such as loss of rotation, means higher expectations on certain players and leaves less room for mistakes. The bullpen has also been inconsistent, with one of the worst ERAs in MLB at times.
Despite their drawback, Phillies fans are not worried.
Mike Carter, a student here at Bucks, made a short statement about how confident he is with the team, “They’re the Big Red Machine.”
The fans will support and have faith in the team, as The Philadelphia Phillies work hard and have a lot riding on them this season they are either playing the Reds or the Dodgers in the NLD.
While talking to Roberts as he stated about the upcoming game, “The Reds give Team of Destiny, and I hate them, so bring me the Dodgers.”
The Philadelphia Phillies are writing the next chapter in their franchise history while expanding their fan base.
Fans remain hopeful and passionate, ready to rally behind their team through every pitch, hit and inning. With a blend of emerging talent and veteran leadership, the Phillies aim to make a run all the way to the World Series.
