Latest news and updates about the Phillies
The news that Rob Thomson was fired was one that still had the shock effect from afar, but judging from the reporting done around the team, it was also a shock inside the team clubhouse. Watching the game being played on Tuesday, it looked and felt like one where the players had a bit of […]
Good morning! The Phillies — wanting to get in on some of that sweet, sweet dysfunction — copied the Red Sox by firing their own manager yesterday. Rumors immediately swirled that Alex Cora would reunite with his old boss, Dave Dombrowski. But those rumors were quickly quashed when it was revealed that interim manager Don […]
I mean, the biggest news surrounding this team is still that Rob Thomson was let go by the team. He’ll get a job with the team when and if he is ready, but the whole “need a new voice” thing does seem apt. They won last night, which is great, but the story is still […]
The struggling Philadelphia Phillies got a masterful start from Jesús Luzardo Tuesday night. He held the San Francisco Giants to two baserunners and three total bases in seven innings of work, striking out eight including a hat trick of Matt Chapman. The only thing he didn’t go was close, leaving with a five-run lead after […]
In the wake of Rob Thomson’s sacrificial demise as manager of the Philadelphia Phillies (10-19) earlier today, the team put together their most complete win of the season for new boss, Don Mattingly, in a 7-0 dismantling of the San Francisco Giants (13-16). Jesus Luzardo and company held the Giants to two hits and combined […]
PHILADELPHIA — All Rob Thomson knows is accountability. If there was anyone to blame for the Phillies’ 9-19 start, place the blame on Thomson. That’s how Thomson carried himself to the end. Even though Thomson was let go on Tuesday, he felt it was important to speak to the people that treated him fairly over […]
The San Francisco Giants head east today to begin a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Taking the mound for the Giants will be right-hander Tyler Mahle, who enters today’s game with a 5.26 ERA, 5.78 FIP, with 26 strikeouts to 14 walks in 25.2 innings pitched. His last start was in the Giants’ 3-0 […]

Just three weeks ago, the Giants hosted the Philadelphia Phillies in a series I figured was over before it started. As you’ll recall, the Giants sent the Phillies away from Oracle Park in grand style: back to back shutouts. It didn’t exactly send Philadelphia into a tailspin, but after entering the series in San Francisco […]
The Philadelphia Phillies have fired manager Rob Thomson, per multiple reports, with the team having gotten off to a 9-19 start, tied with the Mets for the worst record in the majors. Don Mattingly has been named the team’s interim manager. Thomson, 62, was named the Phillies’ interim manager 51 games into the 2022 season […]
The Phillies are slowly trudging to the end of a brutal April that has seen them own the worst record in baseball here on April 28th. They’re already 10.5 games back of the division entering play yesterday and seven games back in the Wild Card. They aren’t dead yet, but they need to turn things […]

When a baseball team is playing as poorly as the Phillies are, there is plenty of blame to go around. Many have fixed their gaze on the tenuous job security of Rob Thomson and there is merit to it. Thomson has made some decisions that cause one’s brow to furrow, but he alone is not […]
The Cubs had a 5-2 week, which on its face is excellent. The way it ended, with two losses to the Dodgers after sweeping the Phillies and mounting a stirring comeback Friday in Los Angeles, wasn’t great. But this team is still showing that it can compete with anyone, even with multiple bullpen injuries. Here’s […]
Baseball life is good for the Atlanta Braves at the moment. They’ve already put a gap between them and the rest of the division and the gap keeps growing between them and the Phillies and the Mets as well. The vibes are very positive and the week ahead for the Braves could be a promising […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s see what’s on deck. The Giants continue their recent trend of having a day off today, before they hit the road again and head for the East Coast. First up will be a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, before […]
The Phillies are off today and that’s probably best for everyone involved. They won a game Saturday, but they’re still playing pretty badly, so maybe a day off will help them. That and the schedule, which eases up a bit with the Giants coming into town. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
A couple of weeks ago, the Atlanta Braves embarked on a 13-game run of games that were solely in the NL East. Initially, it seemed like a tough task considering that they’d be seeing the Philadelphia Phillies twice during that run. At the same time, the Braves had gotten off to an encouraging start to […]
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss announced after today’s 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies that rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie will get his second major league start on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Weiss also confirm that former right-handed starter Reynaldo López is heading to the bullpen to work out some mechanical issues that are […]
The Phillies snapped their ten-game losing streak on Saturday night by actually getting some late, clutch hits and prevailing in extra innings. The Braves: “I took that personally” On Sunday, the Braves reverted to their winning ways, while the Phillies were back on their B.S. Aaron Nola was rocked, the hitters looked feeble against Chris […]
Last week was a sweep for the Braves, today could lead to another series win… if the Phillies don’t carry over from yesterday and find a way to break their streak. The Braves will have to get runs on the board as early as possible, while the Phillies will have to endure in the latter […]
After actually winning a game on Saturday night, the Phillies will try to repeat the feat on Sunday afternoon in the finale of their series against the Braves. Aaron Nola gets the start for the Phillies. The veteran righty is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA this season. He’ll be opposed by Braves ace Chris Sale, […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to extend their successful series record, but for the Philadelphia Phillies, after last week’s embarrassing sweep against them on their home turf, they’re looking to repay the favor and snap that extension. Let’s look at these rosters. The lineup for the Braves looks pretty identical to yesterday’s with a familiar […]
Brad Lidge is an archaeologist in real life. The following, however, does not take place in real life. It takes place in the year 3026, when the Phillies, and the sport they played, have been forgotten by all. All that is, except for the archaeologists who study the distant, dusty past. Among them is a […]
