Baltimore sits three games under .500 at 53-56 but find themselves in the muddled AL Wild Card picture. They’re […]
Just from a theatrics standpoint, perhaps the most interesting move the Phillies could make before Monday’s 6 p.m. ET trade […]
The MLB Trade Deadline is less than a week away and with the team mired in a 40-game funk of mediocrity (a 20-20 record during that stretch), one of their star players openly challenging his boss to make improvements and that star player’s manager rebuffing those challenges, rumors persist the Phillies are interested in an […]
The Phillies are a rollercoaster that is only going down right now. They’ve lost 4 straight series out of the All-Star Break, most recently a sweep at the hands of the Marlins, who entered on a 12-game losing streak.

In these waning days in the Phillies organization for some players, let’s look at how some minor leaguers performed.

He’s a right handed hitting first baseman that can’t really play in the […]
It was a busy day for the Phillies affiliates, with two doubleheaders thanks to Tuesday’s rainouts. And happily, most of those games ended up as wins for the good guys. Buffalo 1, Lehigh Valley 0 The IronPigs pitchers allowed nine hits in the first game of their doubleheader, but just a single run. That run […]
The Philadelphia Phillies’ potential trade deadline plans can make the difference between another postseason appearance and a ticket to the World Series.

The trade deadline is rapidly approaching and with it are the expectations of moves.

[…]
Chicago White Sox pitcher Mike Vasil is out for the season due to Tommy John surgery, but he’s still made an impact in the dugout with his magic wand skills, which Philadelphia Phillies announcers learned the hard way this season. On Wednesday, the White Sox surprised Vasil with news that the organization will have a…
Alex McFarlane is in Triple-A after his taste of the majors.
Yesterday was not a banner day for the Phillies manager. Shortly after making some interesting comments about the team’s star player, Don Mattingly made some extremely questionable pitching decisions in a game that helped kick off the meltdown that led to a devastating loss. No matter what you may think of Mattingly as a manager […]
Bryce Harper has not been a favorite in the Philadelphia Phillies’ front office lately. Dating back to Dave Dombrowski’s comments last year that Harper was no longer “elite,” the clubhouse cold war may have added another chapter on Tuesday when Harper said the Phillies need help at the trade deadline. With the Phillies having lost […] The post “Players Like Being GMs”: Don Mattingly Makes Feelings Clear on Bryce Harper After He Calls for Major Changes appeared first on EssentiallySports .

It’s hard to say a team reached rock bottom over three months after firing its manager following a ten game losing streak, but the Phillies hit a new low today when they blew a 6-0 lead to the Marlins in an 8-6 loss, finalizing a sweep at the hands of a team who entered the […]
On Tuesday night after the Phillies’ 1-0 loss to the Marlins, Bryce Harper was asked about the team’s readiness to hit playoff-caliber pitching in October. Harper, as always, was honest. “Yeah man, I think we need some help,” Harper told reporters. When asked if the team needed a bat or an arm, Harper said, “Both.” […]
For many years, the Phillies trade deadline has been all about adding. The Phillies, losers of four consecutive series out of the All-Star break, will buy. Buying, however, won’t solve all of their problems. Some were anticipated. They did not enter the season with a strong outfield unit. Bryan De La Cruz, a minor league […]
Here are the lineups for the series finale in Miami. Let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Marlins:
