Phillies on the Pharm: 7/8/2026
It was an up and down night for the affiliates. The IronPigs walked off their opponent, and the BlueClaws were walked off by theirs. The Threshers managed just a single hit in a loss, and the Fightin Phils managed just four in what turned out to be a victory. Baseball, at any level, is a […]
What’s the biggest All-Star snub you can remember?
Yesterday, we asked if you considered Zack Wheeler’s absence from the All-Star Game a snub. The responses were split. Some felt he was indeed snubbed, others felt that the decision not to invite him was justified, or that it would at least benefit the team by keeping him healthy (or by giving him a chip […]
Phillies news: Jesus Luzardo, Zack Wheeler, Byron Buxton
I do believe that Zack Wheeler pitched that game with a decent sized chip on his shoulder. Actually, multiple chips on his shoulder – one from not being selected to the All-Star Game and one for Don Mattingly taking him out early from a game he wanted to stay in. On to the links. Phillies […]
You’re out of order!: Phillies 4, Reds 1
Two of their four All-Star pitchers bookended a dominant night on the mound to pilot the Philadelphia Phillies (51-41) to a 4-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds (41-49) in the the opening game of the series. The 18 strikeouts the Phillies’ staff collected were a season high, as they were for the Reds’ hitters who […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Reds: Let’s talk about it.
What if there isn’t another OF bat to trade for?
One of the bigger questions looming on the trade deadline horizon for the Phillies whether or not they can get another bat. They have been riding out a platoon of Gabriel Rincones, Jr. and Derek Hill, with Hill filling in at time for Justin Crawford and Edmundo Sosa taking some reps in left field against […]
Gee, no: Phillies vs. Reds series preview
After losing a series to the last place team in the American League Central, the Phillies will travel to Cincinnati to take on the last place team in the National League Central. The Reds aren’t particularly good at either hitting (They rank 24th in runs scored) or pitching (23rd in ERA), but neither were the […]
The Phillies have needs. What can they trade to fill them?
The trade deadline is a time of wonder and curiosity. Teams are on the lookout for ways to improve themselves when the options they have internally are no longer good enough. We have been blessed to have relative blockbusters go down in the past few trade deadlines, making the news exciting to cover. Talking about […]
Is Zack Wheeler an All-Star snub?
Selecting players for the All-Star team is more complicated than we sometimes admit. The requirement for every team to have a representative no matter their quality can sometimes make things messy, as does the complicated voting process for selecting starters. Naturally, this process is going to omit some players whose performance on merit deserve to […]
Phillies news: Zack Wheeler, Al Holland, Brad Keller

Call him Mark: Royals 15, Phillies 1
Due to the unusual Saturday-Monday scheduling, you might have forgotten that the Phillies would be wrapping up the series against the Kansas City Royals with an afternoon game today. If so, don’t feel bad. You didn’t miss anything worth seeing (if you’re a Phillies fan, that is. Royals fans probably greatly enjoyed the game). Heck, […]

Three up, three down: week of June 29 – July 5
It was a hot one this week in Philadelphia, a heatwave engulfing the city during the series against the Pirates. It showed on Thursday when it looked like the team was barely able to stand, squeaking out a series split with Pittsburgh, but hey. Gotta get through some tough times during a long season like […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/6/2026
Another week of series comes to a close on the farm for the Phillies. Here’s a look at yesterday’s action. Lehigh Valley 5, Rochester 3 Where it pertains to the Phillies, Brad Keller had another appearance with the IronPigs, throwing a scoreless innings, striking out one. The stuff looked better, which may mean he’s close […]
How many more major league starts does Andrew Painter make this season?
Andrew Painter made his second minor league start this weekend with the IronPigs, giving them six innings of one run ball, striking out six and making a good impression in the box score. However, dig a bit deeper and there were some things that haven’t really improved. He still isn’t getting many swings and misses […]
Phillies news: Kyle Schwarber, Jose Alvarado, Munetaka Murakami
Yesterday, I put a post in The Feed that I would love to get some, uh, feedback on. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
What a waste: Royals 5, Phillies 2
The hot weather in Kansas City appeared to agree with Aaron Nola. The Phillies’ starter pitched his best start of the season, going seven innings while giving up three runs. Unfortunately, it was wasted because the Phillies’ offense and bullpen came up small in a 5-2 loss. In the first inning, it didn’t look like […]
Gamethread 7/5: Phillies at Royals
The Phillies look to win their second straight game against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday afternoon in a nationally televised game. Aaron Nola gets the ball for the Phillies as he tries to turn his thus far shaky season around. The Royals will start righty Luinder Avila who has been used in both the […]

Phillies on the Pharm: 7/5/2026
There were some fireworks on the farm, so let’s check how they did. Rochester 2, Lehigh Valley 1 Andrew Painter had the start on the night and did quite well for the IronPigs. In his six innings, he allowed on a lone run and struck out six. The velocity on his fastball was good, averaging […]
Who is your favorite all time Phillies player?
This is a simple question of the day: who is your favorite all time Phillies player and why? I’m interested in the mix that we get with current and former players.
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Brad Keller, Jhoan Duran
It was a good night for the Phillies with Jesus Luzardo providing another solid road start and fireworks not only happening in the sky, but also off the bat of J.T. Realmuto. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Barbecue sauce: Phillies 6, Royals 1
Jesus Luzardo continued his good run of form with an Independence Day gem as the Philadelphia Phillies (50-39) cruised to a 6-1 victory in their series opener against the Kansas City Royals (35-54). Luzardo retired the first eight batters of the game, which included striking out the side in the second inning, before allowing an […]
