There’s a goat at Citizens Bank Park. Not in the literal sense, as the denizens of Wrigleyville had to deal with (no curse of the Philly goat, please), and not in the acronymous sense either. Per the Dickson Baseball Dictionary, goat is “a derisive name for a player who is singled out for a serious lapse in performance” (you almost certainly already know the meaning; I just wanted an excuse to pull the baseball dictionary off my shelf). Right now, the goat of the Phillies is Alec Bohm, struggling to a .158/.172/.175 line to start his 2025 campaign.
Luck be a Phillie (Or, You Might Be Wrong About Stott and Bohm)
