On The Horizon: Cubs vs. Phillies series preview
As you know, the Cubs are off to a rough start this season. But then, so are the Phillies. The teams enter this series with identical 7-8 records, and the Phillies have lost four of their last five, scoring a total of just 11 runs in those five games. Here’s more on the Phillies from […]
Living with the danger, I am always on the edge now: Phillies vs. Cubs series preview
With the loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday, the Phillies fell to a game under .500. They’ll now welcome another would-be contender who is off to an uneven start to the season that has left them a game under .500. Chicago Cubs Record: 7-8, Fifth place in National League Central (Two games back) The last […]
Arizona Diamondbacks News, 4/13: Ate our Phil
Game recaps [AZ Central] Diamondbacks, helped by a Phillies blunder, rally late to take series – Journeyman Ildemaro Vargas was their leadoff hitter in their series finale against the Phillies. Rookie Jose Fernandez hit cleanup. Geraldo Perdomo and Ketel Marte are hitting under .200. And pitchers Corbin Burnes, A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez, and outfielder […]
Phillies news: Taijuan Walker, Andrew Painter, Nick Pivetta
Another uninspiring day for the Phillies, another loss for a series. The Diamondbacks are one of those pesky teams that cannot be allowed to hang around at all, lest they get a chance to chip away. Unfortunately, the Phillies ran into some strange outs to thwart comebacks they could have attempted. They’ll get another chance […]
Purple Row After Dark: Impressive, surprising, concerning
The Colorado Rockies have had the most up-and-down season so far. They were swept on the road by the Miami Marlins; they then took two of three from the Toronto Blue Jays; they took one of three against the Philadelphia Phillies in the Home Opening series; swept the Houston Astros at home; and then were […]
Indulging in my self defeat: Diamondbacks 4, Phillies 3
After a mostly ugly series at San Francisco, a return home to play the Arizona Diamondbacks should have helped get the Phillies back on track. But the ugly play largely continued against Arizona, and a slew of self-imposed mistakes caused the Phillies to lose the game – and the series – on Sunday by a […]

Gamethread 4/12: Phillies vs. Diamondbacks
After pulling out a narrow win on Saturday afternoon, the Phillies will go for the series win against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. Andrew Painter will make the third start of his young career in the rubber match. The Diamondbacks will go with veteran righthander Zac Gallen. Gallen has had success against the Phillies over […]
Foster Griffin’s success in Japan has translated so far for the Washington Nationals
So far this season, Foster Griffin has been the Washington Nationals best pitcher. The soft tossing lefty has used his craftiness and deep pitch mix to weather the storm against three really good lineups. He has faced the Phillies, Dodgers and Brewers, and has gone at least five innings while allowing two or fewer runs […]
How do you think this team is trending overall?
The first few weeks of the season are over and the Phillies continue flirting with .500. They haven’t played well overall, which might lead some to feel like the beginning of the end is nigh. We all know that core groups go through a prime and a downturn, but no matter all the data that […]
Sunday BP: Highlights of the Week
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up another week of baseball today, which means it’s time to discuss our favorite highlights of the week! This week, I’m giving the honors to Rafael Devers’ three-run home run in Wednesday’s 5-0 win over the Philadelphia Philies! Devers faced off against Phillies starter Aaron […]
This Week in Purple: Tonal Whiplash
When the Colorado Rockies left Coors Field on Wednesday night they were on top of the world. They had started the week having avoided a sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday and proceeded to rattle off three more wins to sweep the usually dominant Houston Astros. It was the Rockies’ first […]
Phillies news: Alec Bohm, Adolis Garcia, Zack Wheeler
Do the Phillies need to win this series at home to make you start feeling any better about them? Most people I know that follow the team are somewhat “blah” about the start the team has gotten off too, not caring that it’s just the beginning of the year still. They just want to see […]
Diamondbacks 3, Philly 4: OBI Strikes Again
Less than twenty-four hours after the Diamondbacks managed to overcome a disastrous first inning from Michael Soroka, they had the chance to do it again, thanks to the kind of performance we’ve sadly become accustomed to from Brandon Pfaadt in 2026. On paper, at least, this seemed like a winnable game, and maybe even one […]
Role reversal: Phillies 4, Diamondbacks 3
In last night’s game, the Phillies jumped out a big lead in the first inning, only to do nothing the rest of the way but give back the lead and the win. Today, the roles were switched. Arizona got out to a quick lead, then watched their starter give it all back. I like it […]

Gamethread 4/11: Diamondbacks at Phillies
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
Mets to call up Craig Kimbrel
According to Jon Heyman, the Mets will call up Craig Kimbrel before today’s game against the Athletics. Kimbrel, a 16-year veteran who was an All-Star with the Braves, Phillies, Cubs, and Red Sox, signed a minor league deal with the Mets in January. Kimbrel is currently fifth all time with 440 career saves, just ahead […]
There is an Alec Bohm issue, or so you say
The Phillies took another loss last night that probably should have been avoided. A hot start to the game where the first four batters all scored was followed up by more swings and misses than Disney live action remakes. One of the bigger culprits of the game was Alec Bohm, whose struggles continued thirteen games […]
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Bryce Harper, MLBPA
So we’re gonna do this Brandon Marsh as the cleanup hitter thing now? I guess it’ll work against a team without left handed relief pitching, but later on? What then? On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Diamondbacks 5, Phillies 4: Battle of the Blow Up Innings
Game Summary The Diamondbacks starting rotation has had a habit of being sunk by the “Blow Up Inning” over the last couple seasons, and after the first inning tonight, I thought Soroka was just another member of the club. In a rare twist on that tired trope, the Diamondbacks offense punched through with their own […]
Orioles fail at pitching and hitting, lose to Giants 6-3
The Orioles and Phillies came into this game with good vibes. The Orioles had three consecutive wins against the White Sox, while the San Francisco Giants had scored 11 runs in two games vs the Phillies. Shane Baz and the Orioles were not up to the task, and by the end of the night, the […]
