Well, we missed a week of show but the Phillies have been on point. After kicking off the 10 game home stand with a split against Pittsburgh the Phillies have ripped off six straight wins, back-to-back series sweep against the Rockies and White Sox. Hat tip to the MLB schedule maker who sent us a couple of cupcake matchups to really kick start the Phillies season and let’s Ring the Bell for SIX STRAIGHT WINS!

More Singles than Match.com
The Phillies – amazingly – wrapped up their best opening road trip in over a decade with their second straight series win taking 2 of 3 against the Cardinals. They kept the positive momentum rolling on their return home with a 5-1 win over the visiting Pirates to get over .500 for the first time on this young season. It was a whole lot of singles... more than match.com as they seem to say around here, so Let’s Ring the Bell for a strong road trip as the Phillies face off in a battle for Pennsylvania.

A Series Win
The Phillies – and quite a few fans – traveld south for the weekend and grabbed their first series win of the season, breezing by the Nats Friday and Saturday before frustratingly failing to complete the sweep on Sunday for loss 11,264 of all time... but we’re ringing the bell for the Phils as they secured the all important series win.

A Soggy Start to the Season
The Phillies entered their second series of the season seeking their first series win against the visiting Reds and they simply fell short.. Blowing Game 1 and ultimately dropping 2 of 3 against a team they should handle. Win No. 2 of the season was sandwiched by losses 11,262 and 11,263 of all time.

We're Back on the Board!
We're back for Season 3 of the Phils in Five Podcast! It was an exciting weekend down at the bank and though we got started off a day late, we did get some sunshine for Opening Day on Friday. The pitching, however, took a few days to stabilize and after two straight Ls to the division rival Braves – numbers 11,260 and 11,261 of all time – the boys got into the win column on Sunday with a 5-4 comeback victory. Let’s Ring the Bell for win one of the 2024 season!
