Phillies mock draft roundup, final edition
The MLB Draft is this afternoon, which means the final batch of mock drafts have been published. Now, we wait to see which people are most in the know when it comes to the plans of all the other teams. Let’s see what people think the Phillies are going to do. Phillies mock draft roundup, […]
Phillies news: Kyle Schwarber, David Montgomery, JJ Wetherholt
I do at least appreciate that when the Phillies lose a game like that, I can at least focus my attention on something else and not be dialed into every single pitch like normal. It lets me get some things done around the house for the evening. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Can’t get no relief: Tigers 10, Phillies 2
Aaron Nola was serviceable again but Tim Mayza had one of the worst innings of his nine-year big league career as the Philadelphia Phillies (52-43) unraveled late in a 10-2 drubbing at the hands of the Detroit Tigers (44-50). Derek Hill led off the third inning with his seventh home run of the year for […]

All-Star Game 2026: Know Before You Go and Everything In-between
With the World Cup Fever leaving the city, Jaylen Brown a Sixer, and the Flyers failed offer sheet of Leo Carlsson…the focus has shifted back towards the MLB All-Star Game activities hosted by yours truly, Philadelphia. We are just hours away from the launch of MLB All-Star Week that should have something for everyone who […]
2026 Phillies MLB Draft Preview – Fun Names
Peyton Bonds, OF – Rutgers University Before you ask: Yes, that Bonds. This is the son of Bobby Bonds, Jr and Barry’s nephew. He’s a 6’5” 230 lbs 21 year old right handed hitter. This Bonds is a round 2 or 3 option who weirdly despite being rather massive has very little Power in his […]
Gotta get away: Phillies vs. Tigers series preview
The unofficial first half of the season wraps up with a three-game series in Detroit. For whatever reason, recent Phillies teams haven’t done well in “getaway” games, so I’m worried that they might just try to coast through what is somewhat of a “getaway” series. I’m especially pessimistic about Sunday’s game when about half the […]
Go get a bat, Dave!
This week, I asked a simple question, or what I thought was a simple question. Does Dave Dombrowski need to get an outfield bat at the trade deadline no matter how well the current group is doing? It seems like a simple question since, well, we all have eyes. Going into a pennant chase with […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/10/2026
If you live anywhere near Philadelphia, you know what the theme of last night’s games are: rain. There was a lot of it. How did the minor leaguers cope? Lehigh Valley 8, Columbus 7 ‘Twas the Dylan Moore show. A four for five day for Moore in which he hit two home runs and drove […]
2026 MLB All-Star Game Preview
The wait is almost over, as Philadelphia is set to host the 96th edition of the MLB All-Star game on Tuesday. July 14th. It will be the fifth time the City of Brotherly Love has played host to the event and the first time since 1996 when the game was held at Veteran’s Stadium. The […]
I Singer The Body Electric: Phillies 1, Reds 0
When the city of Cincinnati was founded, the Passenger Pigeon was so numerous that a passing flock could blot out the sun. By 1907, the entire species was reduced to a single bird, residing at the Cincinnati Zoo. Tonight, offense faced a similar extinction, felled by merciless pitching. Brady Singer, the Cincy starter, sent his […]
Bryce Harper is in the Home Run Derby
It’s a Home Run Derby, in Philadelphia, in front of a large audience that is focusing their attention on one thing for the night. Was there any doubt that Bryce Harper would participate? In news that should surprise no one, Harper is participating in the Home Run Derby (don’t forget – it’s on Netflix this […]

Left-handed relief is suddenly a major issue for the Phillies
For a team with a 51-42 record that is just three games out of first place in the NL East, the Phillies have a number of worrisome holes. Despite an improved offense and the surprising emergence of Derek Hill as a stabilizing force in the outfield, they still lack at least one more productive right-handed […]
Did Cristopher Sánchez cost himself the All-Star game start?
Monday wasn’t a good day for any of the Phillies, but perhaps it was the worst for Cristopher Sánchez. The ace lefty suffered through his worst start in his big-league career to this point, as he allowed 9 runs on 12 hits in just 3.1 innings. It was the most runs he’s ever allowed in […]
Phillies News: Don Mattingly, Zack Wheeler, All-Star Weekend
Is it just me, or is it taking much longer than usual for all of the Home Run Derby participants to be announced? The contest is four days away and we still don’t know all eight players that will take the field Monday night. Maybe it’s because MLB is awaiting word from a pair of […]
Went Wrong with the Wrong Handers: Reds 11, Phillies 5
José Alvarado’s 2026 season had already been messy. There were positives to hope for as the season goes on, there was generally some brutal BABIP and situational luck that helped inflate his ERA. Even with that, there is only so much you can argue for someone who entered tonight’s game with an ERA over six. […]

What it means to be 29th best
Much as been made by fans following popular baseball prospect site, baseballamerica.com, posting their organizational rankings among all MLB teams. The hometown Phillies ranked as the 29th worst farm system in the league based on prospect talent. This seems bad, huh? For a team with aging stars and up against the luxury tax threshold, an […]
Trea Turner’s future at shortstop may be short
Trea Turner’s issues at shortstop have officially become too troubling to put off any longer. In Monday’s get-away game in Kansas City, another Turner error, his 12th of the season, opened the floodgates to a 6-run Royals outburst in the first inning of what would eventually become a 15-1 boat-racing of the Phillies. To be […]
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 […]
