Latest blog entries from Philadelphia teams across every league
We’re ten games into the 2026 season, which is not nearly enough to look for things that are concrete. A new approach by one player may only be just a blip on their season long radar. Drawing a conclusion from a ten game sample isn’t really going to give us a lot of information, but […]
The Phillies’ bullpen, which has been quite strong of late, is about to get another reinforcement to help shorten up games. We know the last time that Orion Kerkering set foot on a major league mound, bad things happened for him and for the Phillies. However, the way the bullpen is currently constructed, he shouldn’t […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … 2026 NFL mock draft: Schrager projects 32 first-round picks – ESPNI’m getting excited for the 2026 NFL draft. Round 1 begins on April 23 in Pittsburgh, just over two weeks away. And while I was in Phoenix at the annual league meeting last week, I […]
As we near another NBA postseason, the Sixers are likely going to be one of the teams participating in the Eastern Conference half of the bracket, either being the sixth seed or via the play-in. But it feels like the noise around the franchise entering the playoffs is sounding much quieter than previous postseasons. Of […]
On the scoresheet, it hasn’t been a great year for Flyers winger Garnet Hathaway. After earning 21 points last season, the veteran fourth-liner has one goal to go with two assists. But that’s on the ice. Off the ice, he’s been the same considerate and generous person he’s been known as. And it’s for that reason that the Flyers Tuesday made Hathaway their nominee for this year’s King Clancy Memorial Trophy. The honor is given annually “to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on ...
With one week to go in the regular season, the Flyers sit in sole possession of third place in the Metropolitan Division. There’s still work to be done, but the Flyers have put themselves in a good spot with 5 games to go. Tuesday night’s game against the Devils is the start of a five games in eight days stretch to finish the season, and the beginning of a three-game road trip to Newark, Detroit, and Winnipeg. The Flyers will then return home next Monday and Tuesday for a tough back...
The Philadelphia Flyers have needed to work on the power play for a very long time, and head coach Rick Tocchet knows that. So, he’s trying out some temporary solutions. On Sunday against Boston, the Flyers had a 5-on-3 for nearly two minutes in overtime. It was a very low-risk option, but Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet went with five forwards for that power play. The collection of Christian Dvorak, Porter Martone, Travis Konecny, Trevor Zegras, and Tyson Foerster took the ice to go...
I guess it’s a useful exercise, as we tiptoe ever closer to the promised land, to take one more quick glance at the abyss. A Victor Wembanyama injury, short term, long term, chronic, you name it, is the proverbial other shoe waiting to drop. It’s not an anchor that weighs the franchise down, and it’s […]
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a disappointing defeat on Monday night to a San Antonio Spurs club that lost star Victor Wembanyama to a rib injury midway through the game. The loss moved Philadelphia out of a tie with Toronto and down into the seventh seed, which would mean an entry in the Play-In Tournament rather […]
A whole lot has been made of the goaltending for the Philadelphia Flyers. Somehow, this team has found a solution to their ongoing problem in Dan Vladar, and even if it’s a short-term one that we have no idea how it is going to look year-to-year, for the time being he’s the solidifier in between the pipes. Vladar’s arrival has made us all look and see what this roster can do with someone capable of saving more than 90 percent of the shots that they face and it’s frankly been absurdly too ...
‘Twas the night(s) before the playoffs, when all through the Frost Bank Center;Not a creature was stirring, not even The Coyote;The banners were hung by the rafters with care;In hopes that Victor Wembanyama’s ribs healing soon would be there; “The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of Manu Ginóbili’s fractured elbow on […]
If you’ve been following MLB closely over the last few years, you are well aware of the general lack of starting pitching depth around baseball. There are quite a few teams who struggle to field four good options in their rotation, let alone five or possibly more to fill in as substitutes over a long […]
Last Devils Game Well folks, it finally happened. 77 games into the season, Jacob Markstrom is finally warmed up, as many on here said he would do eventually. Playing again after sitting the previous 2 games, and with only 5 games left in the season, our big game trophy secured his first shutout of the […]
Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama did not return for the second half of Monday night’s game between the Spurs and 76ers. Early in the second quarter, Wemby collided with Philadelphia’s Paul George at the half-court line. Victor initially exited the game and headed off court, but returned toward the end of the first half. His […]
*It’s (rightfully) all Porter, all the time in the Flyers Cinematic Universe, mostly because it’s clear that this kid was exactly what the Flyers needed to turn this season around. [ BSH ] *And boy are people noticing! The Flyers are fun again and we aren’t the only ones realizing it. [ BSH ] *It’s not very often that a kid leaves college, joins his team, and immediately makes the kind of impact we’ve seen from Porter Martone over these first few games. If you ask him what he thinks ...
If you’re wondering why the San Francisco Giants have won just three of their first eight games, well, the answer is very simple: they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball. If you’re wondering why they’re playing remarkably sloppy and dispirited baseball, well … that answer is not so simple. The search for that answer keeps […]
For a moment, everything stopped. Inside the Frost Bank Center, the buzz of a marquee matchup, Victor Wembanyama versus Joel Embiid, gave way to silence as Wembanyama walked slowly toward the locker room, his night cut short before halftime. It should have been the turning point, but it became something else entirely. The San Antonio Spurs didn’t flinch. They […]
It wasn’t Andrew Painter’s best start. It just wasn’t. In the four-inning, 90-pitch outing for the rookie right-hander, there was bad command, which led to hitters’ counts and good swings from the Giants offense. That San Francisco offense might not have capitalized in the first. After back-to-back singles from Luis Arraez and Matt Chapman, he […]
The Spurs returned home from an OT loss in Denver to close the regular season on a four-game home stand, beginning against a fully healthy Philadelphia 76ers squad. Although they lost Victor Wembanyama to a bruised rib at halftime, everyone contributed in a team effort to methodically break down the 76ers defense and make life […]
The San Francisco Giants welcome the Philadelphia Phillies to Oracle Park tonight to begin a three-game series. Taking the mound for the Giants is righty Adrian Houser, who makes his second start with the organization. His first start was solid, as he gave up three runs to the San Diego Padres in 5.1 innings, but […]
The Philadelphia Flyers need a centerman with some skill more than anything in the world, and one could be available for completely free this summer. Thankfully, it has been reported that the Flyers are interested. Vitali Pinchuk is getting a whole lot of attention. The 24-year-old is wrapping up an incredibly impressive campaign in the KHL with Dinamo Minsk, who just last week, swept Dynamo Moskow in the first round are currently waiting for their second round opponent. The 6-foot-3, 203...
The Phils open up a three-game series in San Francisco with Andrew Painter on the mound for his second career start. Here are the lineups, let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Giants:
Coming off a 4-1 win over the Phillies on Sunday to prevent a home opener sweep, the Rockies also have more good news in the form of Ryan Feltner being able to take the mound today. Feltner looked sharp against the Toronto Blue Jays on March 31. He’d thrown three scoreless innings with four strikeouts, […]
