When I’m Thirty Three

When I get older, losing my bat speed/many seasons from now/will you still call me among the best/putting up a .900 OPS? Those lyrics to the Beatles’ When I’m Sixty Four—very slightly modified from the original— must be ringing in Bryce Harper’s ears right now. Entering his age-33 season, he is no longer young. He’s […]

What has earned your attention so far in Phillies camp?

Making any kind of conclusion this early into Spring Training is foolhardy. There’s not much that occurs before the calendar even flips to March that can be used to glean insight on how a player will perform once the games begin to count. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be something that catches your eye […]

Zack Wheeler threw off a mound. Rejoice!

When Zack Wheeler went down last year to an unexpected surgery, it made his 2026 season look dire. Now, we’re even closer to his returning in full. Zack Wheeler threw off a mound Thursday, a huge […]

What are your realistic expectations for Zack Wheeler in 2026?

In an interview with Scott Lauber of the Inquirer published yesterday, Zack Wheeler discussed his offseason full of surgery and recovery from a rather significant injury in the most nonchalant, Zack Wheeler way possible. Here’s an excerpt from that fascinating interview below: “In classic Wheeler fashion, he insists he isn’t worried. “I don’t think there’s […]

What do you need to see from Harper to consider him still elite?

Last week, we asked you if you think Bryce Harper is still elite. Today, a slightly different question. What would you need to see from Harper in 2026 to deem him still elite? Everyone’s got a different standard for elite. Some would cite WAR. Some would consider that statistic too dismissive of the heart, the […]

Phillies news: Bryce Harper, Zack Wheeler, Jhoan Duran

Oh gee, another day waking up to snow. How wonderful. The Phillies will play some more games that will be broadcast this week, which always begs the question: why isn’t every single game broadcast? We know some teams and networks cheap out and don’t want to pay announcers or anything like that, but there is […]

Who will be the pleasant surprise the Phillies desperately need?

For a few moments on Saturday, Phillies fans forgot about the drama. Justin Crawford, the left-handed-hitting rookie who everyone expects to be the everyday center fielder this year, walloped a ringing line drive double off the left-center field wall in his first plate appearance of spring training. It was a beautiful sight. Crawford’s penchant for […]

Most of the starters are set, headlined by reigning Cy-Young finalist Cristopher Sanchez.

Assembly required: Pirates 4, Phillies 3

The Philadelphia Phillies dropped their home opener in Clearwater to the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 4-3 on Sunday afternoon.

Rhys Hoskins is not a Phillie. Why not and what does it mean?

Rhys Hoskins is now a Guardian, agreeing to a deal with Cleveland on Sunday morning. His lengthy stay in free agency and non-guaranteed deal indicate that he wasn’t in high demand.
