Latest news and updates about the Phillies
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Today’s Lineups DIAMONDBACKS PHILLIES Ketel Marte – 2B Trea Turner – SS Corbin Carroll – DH Kyle Schwarber – DH Geraldo Perdomo – SS Bryce Harper – 1B Adrian Del Castillo – C Brandon Marsh – LF Jose Fernandez – 1B Bryson Stott – 2B Nolan Arenado – 3B Adolis Garcia – RF Tim Tawa […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
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 […]
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 […]
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:
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 […]
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 […]
The Phillies gazed upon their scoreless streak and said: no more. And so it was, in the bottom of the first inning on April 10th, 2026, that Trea Turner singled to left, and Kyle Schwarber walked, and Bryce Harper hit one to right to score Turner. The scoreless streak thus passed away at the age […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
Which team is projected as better? On 9 April, FanGraphs projected the Phillies to win more games (89 vs 81). Nevertheless, both teams have significant odds of reaching the playoffs (68% and 35%). And either team could win this series. Why cheer for the Diamondbacks? The Diamondbacks values include don’t cheat by taking performance enhancing […]
Most of the time, a new season means a new beginning. It is infrequent that iterations of a roster are repeated year after year. When things don’t go right, it is common for significant changes to be made. As all of you reading this know, the Phillies have sought to buck that trend in recent […]
Considering the competition, a .500 record on the Phillies’ six-game road trip was disappointing. But considering the stadiums they had to play in, the result was acceptable. Can we just burn Oracle Park to the ground? The Phillies will now have nine straight games at home. It’s still plenty early in the season, but with […]
When the Phillies acquired Jonathan Bowlan in a trade over the winter with the Kansas City Royals in exchange for Matt Strahm, you would have been forgiven if it was the first time you were ever hearing about someone named Jonathan Bowlan. The 29-year-old had only appeared in 37 career MLB games to that point, […]
The Diamondbacks. the D-Backs. The Snakes. The Desert Dudes. I made that last one up. Anyway, Arizona is up next. Onto the links. Phillies news Runs have been in short supply recently. Here’s a look at why. Aidan Miller’s back injury has kept him out of action, but he’s on the path to recovery. Zack […]
One of their missing pieces to their roster, the Phillies saw Zack Wheeler make his third rehab start with the Lehigh Valley IronPigs Wednesday evening. The results were better this time around, if that’s something that you’re looking at closely. The real thing to watch with Wheeler is how the stuff is coming out post […]
There will be a few baseball obituaries about Davey Lopes written in the coming days, most of them better written than this. Going over the full career of Lopes as it pertains to his playing days would require me talking about his days with the Dodgers, days in which he was part of a hated […]
It’s no secret that the Phillies offense hasn’t gotten off to the greatest of starts. Up and down the lineup you can see hitters struggling to get going to various degrees. Many, if not all, of them will figure something out eventually, but it’s the waiting for that to happen and the creeping doubt that […]
