The Phillies avoided the sweep with a 9-4 win on Sunday, but their chance at the NL East crown diminished after a pair of losses on Friday and Saturday. Sean Kane and Spencer McKercher share their thoughts after a disappointing series against the Braves this weekend. #Phillies 0:00 – Phillies avoid sweep with win on Sunday 4:23 – Main takeaways from the entire series 7:45 – Luzardo’s injury 11:51 – Bryce’s slow home run trot 15:30 – Concern level for the bullpen? 21:15 – Can the offense carry ...
Well that was certainly fun, wasn’t it? Series finale notwithstanding, the Atlanta Braves did exactly what they needed to do against the Philadelphia Phillies in order to essentially close the door 99 percent of the way on the NL East. This was a massive series where the Phillies honestly needed nothing less than a sweep […]

I almost wish I was a football enjoyer so I could have had something else on during this afternoon’s Braves-Phillies series finale. But alas, baseball is my one and only, and today’s contest was engineered in a lab to be Extremely Frustrating. A sweep would have been lovely for Atlanta and their chances at the NL East crown. And for much of the game, they were kept right in it by great defense. But as we saw last night, one big inning can put the game to bed. This time it wasn’t in our favor. ...
The Philadelphia Phillies' series loss to the Atlanta Braves puts them in a precarious position with the MLB Postseason right around the corner.

It’s not quite true that all’s well that ends well, given that the good ending to this series in no way erases the fact that the Phillies lost said series. But it is true that batting around against a hated rival is really, really fun. Trea Turner got the Phillies’ first hit on a little […]
The Phillies had a big eighth inning on Sunday that powered their win over the Braves.
Tyler Mahle has proved that he’s far more than a consolation prize after the Atlanta Braves’ Jacob deGrom trade didn’t go through.

After playing some awful baseball in the first two games, the Phillies will attempt to salvage the finale of their series in Atlanta. Andrew Painter will start for the Phillies. The rookie will attempt to improve on his two starts against the Braves earlier in the season when he gave up eight runs in 9.2 […]
It’s getaway day for the Atlanta Braves, but not before one last regular season contest against the Philadelphia Phillies. With the series secure, the Braves have the opportunity to make it a truly nightmarish weekend for our NL East foes and break out the brooms this afternoon. There are some changes to the lineup for […]

Saturday saw two strong outings by the starting pitchers in the Atlanta Braves organization. Both Cedric De Grandpre and Luke Sinnard threw excellent outings, though both came up short as the offense wasn’t able to support either. Combined Sinnard and Cedric struck out 15 in nine and a third innings of work. Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp […]
A similar hand of fate that has inexplicably granted Battery Power’s Ivan near-exclusivity on Martín Pérez starts has linked me with Grant Holmes and Andrew Painter, who will face off for the third time this season (and the second time with the opportunity for the Braves to sweep the Phillies). As the season draws to a close, it’s almost sad to see them go with the 9-3 season series record Atlanta currently holds (with a big emphasis on almost). I’m sure the Phils have been itching to book it ...
There is 1993, when the Phillies knocked the Braves down in six games, including hammering Greg Maddux around for six runs in the series finale. There is the NLDS’s in 2022 and 23, the height of which being when Bryce Harper stared Orlando Arcia down after a home run. There are several moments to choose […]

The Phillies picked the worst possible time to go cold. Atlanta exploded for 12 runs Saturday, leaving Philadelphia staring at a major blow to its NL East hopes. After the 12-2 loss, and with one game against the Braves remaining, Bryce Harper had a message about the team’s postseason push, with an emphasis on not […]
