History is not on the Phillies’ side, but they’re also not dead
With each gruesome loss, the bleakness of their situation increases. You can see it in the numbers. After Monday night’s 5-1 loss to the Cubs, the Phillies are 8-14. They have had a similar, or worse, record a number of times in their long and storied franchise history, and the trends do not portent good […]
The Phillies are playing poorly and getting unlucky
The Phillies can’t do anything right at the moment. They’ve pitched poorly, their defense has been a mess, and their offense has been almost nonexistent. In addition to playing poorly, they’ve also had absolutely horrendous luck, as their .355 batting average on balls in play against is the worst in baseball entering Monday. In fact, […]
Cubs 5, Phillies 1: Dansby Swanson’s homer and Colin Rea’s solid pitching lead the way
After a very slow start to the 2026 season, Dansby Swanson’s bat is heating up at the same time as the team has put together a long winning streak. Swanson’s three-run homer, his third in his last seven games (and all three against the Phillies!), along with yet another strong outing from Colin Rea, helped […]
How would you align the Phillies bullpen in Jhoan Duran’s absence?
During this brutal start to the season, the Phillies have also seen a rash of injuries hit their bullpen. First it was Jonathan Bowlan (who had been one of the few players off to an encouraging start), then Zach Pop, and finally over the weekend, Jhoan Duran was added to the injured list with an […]

Taking it on the Chin: Cubs 5 Phillies 1
For one night, it wasn’t swinging bunts or soft jam shots that killed the Phillies pitching staff. Instead, it was hard contact from the Cubs lineup that plagued Nola’s night. Aaron Nola walked back to the mound for his second inning of work in Wrigley, after the offense behind him stranded the bases loaded with […]

Monday notes… Cubs lineup: Phillies lineup: Colin Rea, RHP vs. Aaron Nola, RHP This is essentially a pitching rematch of last Tuesday in Philadelphia, although Colin Rea didn’t start that game, Riley Martin did as an opener. After that, though, Rea threw six really good innings, his only mistake a home run ball to Edmundo […]

Opposition research: Nico Hoerner
In 2023, I thought it would be fun to title my series previews using lyrics from Beastie Boys songs. It seemed like a fine idea until the Phillies found themselves seven games under .500 in early June. I decided that they no longer deserved me making the effort to find an appropriate song lyric. Once […]
Braves at Phillies series recap: A sweeping statement
The Atlanta Braves are now just about halfway through a 13-game stretch of facing nothing but NL East opponents — including this Philadelphia Phillies team twice. Naturally, this seemed like the trickier proposition for the Braves to deal with since this was taking place in Philadelphia and they were dealing with a Phillies club that […]
Chicago Cubs update: Nico Hoerner, Carson Kelly, Shōta Imanaga
The Cubs had an excellent week after dropping the first game of their series in Philadelphia. Following that loss, they reeled off five straight wins over the Phillies and Mets and outscored those teams 39-13 in the five games. So they got excellent pitching and lots of hitting, too. Here’s who was hot and not […]
Three up, three down: week of April 13-19
There are some weeks where finding the three players that played well is rather difficult. With the Phillies, this is one of those weeks. Nothing went right, but on we shall march. Three up Cristopher Sanchez – Man, when your defense lets you down, it can make a good week look a whole lot worse. […]
What do you think will turn around the soonest for the Phillies?
The Phillies just suffered their worst homestand in quite a while. They didn’t hit well, they didn’t field well, they (honestly) didn’t pitch very well either. It’s not good baseball to watch, it’s not good baseball to analyze right now. Is there anything going right for the team at this moment? Bryce Harper has been […]
Braves News: Series Sweep of Phillies, Didier Fuentes Update, More
It seems the secret to Sunday success for the Braves is to play Sunday Night Baseball. For the second straight week, the Braves were successful via the new version of Sunday Night Baseball on Peacock. They come from behind to beat the Phillies 4-2 and completed a splendid weekend sweep of their division rival. After […]
Phillies news: Taijuan Walker, Bryson Stott, Hunter Brown
I’m usually the one around here that looks for the optimistic point of view with the Phillies. They’re still a talented team that will likely make the playoffs this year, even if right now it’s bleak. The baseball gods have frowned on them in a rather substantial way (or is it the ghost of Harry […]

Gamethread 4/19: Phillies vs. Braves
The Phillies will try to salvage the final game of their series against the Atlanta Braves. The offense has been largely non-existent in the first two games, as the Phillies have lost by scores of 9-0 and 3-1. Righthander Andrew Painter will be given the ball in an attempt to avoid a sweep. The Braves […]
