The Philadelphia Phillies Sunday night contest against the Milwaukee Brewers was a game dominated by pitching- and umpiring. Longtime MLB umpire Angel Hernandez, who has been notorious for drawing the ire of fans and players alike anytime he’s behind the plate calling balls and strikes, was up to his usual antics on Sunday. Hernandez made […]

The first thing I want to make clear is that being an umpire or referee in any professional sport is an incredibly difficult occupation. Although video replays have been implemented to help, umpires/referees ultimately hold the power to decide the outcome of the game. And even when they make the correct call they still tend […]

In mid-March, the Philadelphia Phillies signed Nick Castellanos to a five-year, $100 million deal.

Philadelphia Phillies new star outfielder Nick Castellanos is never one to mince words. The slugger shared his straight forward opinion once again on Wednesday during a press conference.

The Philadelphia Phillies landed two of the biggest free-agent hitters this offseason by signing Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos.
