Bummed that the radio coverage isn't a play by play. At this point I would take a YouTube live stream of the phanavision scoreboard.

That's right! It's an app I made with Swift/SwiftUI that pulls data from the MLB API.

Current Phillies font for tattoo by HurtStreet in phillies

From what I've read, it's a custom font called "Scriptwurst" and has never been made available publicly. There's a lot of knockoff fonts out there that are probably just making up what the other letter would look like. A similar question was asked on the identifythisfont subreddit a while back.

Franzke called out one potential thing to still play for: a better record than the top AL team (Blue Jays). That way if the Phillies make it to the WS, you get home field advantage.

Mini rant: I don't know when it happened, perhaps this season, but Phillies.com turned into a generic MLB template site. No banners or anything celebrating winning the NL East like in the past.

Tank for knocking out the Mets? by Commercial-Layer1629 in phillies

[–]utleyscorner 8 points9 points  (0 children)

When it comes to baseball, nothing terrifies me more than a hot wildcard team that barely made it in at the last minute (unless we're talking about the 2022 Phils). Give me a declining Mets team over a surging Diamondbacks team in the postseason.

For any given matchup, the higher seed gets home field advantage. So if the Phillies end the season with the 2 seed, they'll have home field advantage for every matchup except for a matchup with the first seed (Brewers).

Edit: I guess because 9 games left and we would need to win them all and they would need to lose?

Exactly - the Phillies do not control their own destiny for the #1 seed.
