@CrossingBroad Yeah, I get the frustrations over the repeated postseason collapses, but need we not forget how bad things were not too long ago. 😬

@ClayTravis All of these have played a part, but I think the main culprit is load management. The NBA is the one sport where you regularly wonder: "Is fill-in-the-blank star player actually injured, or is he just taking the night off?" Because of this, we're all less inclined to care. 🙄

NBA ratings are at multi-decade lows for the NBA Finals. The NBA’s all time most watched game was in 1998. This year the NCAA tourney is setting all time record viewership. The Super Bowl all time high was two years ago. Why has NBA tanked while other leagues soared? Vote below.

@SlopHq So true. Here in Philly, all three stadiums are right next to eachother, it's called "the sports complex." The area is absolutely lifeless when none of the four teams are playing. And, when multiple teams are playing at home on the same day, it's total gridlock. 🙄

every baseball stadium built after 1990 is surrounded by forty acres of parking lot that sits empty 280 days a year and we call this "economic development." wrigley is in a neighborhood. fenway is in a neighborhood. the sport was better when the stadiums were to

@GPhilly120 I for one will miss it. It looked cool and it was actually nice to be able to simply look up at it to get the time, rather than checking your watch or phone constantly. I gotta admit, I never knew it was an homage to Connie Mack Stadium, though. 🕛

@FranzkeLA I gotta admit, I never knew that clock was an homage to Connie Mack Stadium, but I always liked it. And, yes, it was nice to be able to simply look up at it to check the time rather than looking down at a watch or phone. I for one will miss it. 😢

@camerooned_ The Flyers just did "Dollar Dog Night" last night. There, they put the hot dog in a cardboard container, they don't wrap them up in tinfoil. Just wrapping them up in tinfoil is what makes idiot fans decide it's okay to throw them. 🤦‍♂️

i think part of the phillies refusal to do dollar dogs anymore is the fact that the stadium is cashless and they don’t want to get hit with the credit card fees on so many tiny transactions

@TimKellySports @OnPattison I'm hoping to get a cheap HOF Club ticket for one of these early-season games so I can check this out. The few times I was up there in the past, I enjoyed all the trophies and displays they had there. 🏆

@Brodes81 @SportsRadioWIP Dan Vladar's breakout season has turned out to be the worst thing for them...if not for him, it would be clear and obvious how lacking this roster is of talent. Their winning record is a facade, especially when you notice how few regulation wins they have. It's fool's gold. 😒

@_kyle_frey NLCS Games 6 & 7 are right up there with the Eagles losing the 2002 NFC Championship in the final game of The Vet when it comes to the most stunning/devastating losses of my Philly sports fandom; I'm 42. Remember, they were 6-0 at CBP in the playoffs before those two games. 🤦‍♂️

Been watching all of the Phillies video yearbooks to get ready for the season, just finished 2023, and I don't think I'll ever quite get over that season. They had it in the bag in game 4. Fuck Craig Kimbrel.

@BenHSilver Honestly, I never knew that clock out there was an homage to Connie Mack. 😮 But, to your point, I always liked having it out there to easily know what time it was. Not to mention, it looked cool. I too will miss it. ☹️

As the Connie Mack Stadium guy this is existentially upsetting for me. Sometimes I don’t want to have to look at my phone to see what time it is. I like being able to disappear from the digital world for a few hours during a baseball game. Sue me.

John Middleton explains to @TimKellySports why the center field analog clock likely won’t be going back up after the All-Star Game.

@BGoldsteinPSR Another downgrade. With the exception of the removal of the out-of-town scoreboard, the worst thing to happen to the outfield walls was those orange "ASPLUNDH" metal fence covers being placed at the top of the walls. What an eyesore. 🙄

Extremely nit-picky observation: The distance markers on the left field wall at Citizens Bank Park are now vertical. They were previously horizontal. Left is what it looked like previously, right is updated via #Phillies’ Instagram.

@destiny_lugardo I'm hoping I can snag a cheap HOF Club ticket for one of these early-season games so I can check this out. The few times I was in there before, I could spend 20+ minutes just looking at all the neat trophies and displays they had in there. 🏆

For those of you that enjoy #Phillies Weekly. We’ll be back on Sunday, April 5 for the start of Season 3. Had a great Season 2 with @OscarBudejen and we can’t wait to get going this year! Make sure to listen or watch @Phillies_Weekly every Sunday night this year!

Wonder if the #Phillies will follow the three-year option with City Connect jerseys and debut a new one next year. The franchise could retire the current City Connect design after the 2026 season — or opt to retain it.

@JoyOnBroad @therussjoyshow I loved the way you read that Sons of Ben statement, you had me crackin' up. 🤣 By the way, when you went to play the audio from Alejandro Bedoya and Andre Blake, there was no sound. 🔇

@trishadelphia The only other Opening Day I went to was way back when I was 10 years old in 1994 at Veterans Stadium. My grandfather won two tickets for the game through a drawing that the Inquirer did; the Phillies unveiled the 1993 National League Champions banner. ⚾️

@trishadelphia Because of the high ticket prices and the more-often-than-not bad weather, I've never bothered going to an Opening Day at CBP. 🤷‍♂️ However, I did do Opening Day in Washington, D.C. in 2010 when Roy Halladay made his Phillies debut. That was awesome. 😀
