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 […]
Phillies have five All-Stars for the National League
The 2026 All-Star Game is in Philadelphia. You know this. What you don’t know is what players will be representing the Phillies. Now, we know. As for the subs, the Phillies will have two position players as reserves For the pitchers:
Gamethread 7/4: Phillies at Royals
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Royals. Let’s talks about it.
The rebuild appears to have stalled: Phillies vs. Royals series preview
After another World Cup-induced Friday off-day, the Phillies will take on the Kansas City Royals in a rare Saturday to Monday series. The Phillies and Royals have some history together, as they squared off in the 1980 World Series. (The Phillies won.) It seems unlikely that there will be a rematch in the 2026 World […]
3 Things to Watch for Prior to the Trade Deadline
Even with the MLB trade deadline pushed back to August 3 this year, July still represents the time of year when everyone talks about trades. The Phillies’ 40-20 stretch under interim manager Don Mattingly has catapulted them into buying territory as a team with World Series aspirations. Their expectations for playing deep into October are […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/4/2026
The kids are celebrating Independence Day, so let’s see how they did last night. Rochester 11, Lehigh Valley 5 So yeah, the Phillies are in trouble if someone in the rotation gets hurt, aren’t they? Kolby Allard allowed seven runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings for the IronPigs, dooming their game from the […]
What baseball related thing will you do on the 4th of July?
Happy Independence Day, where this year, the 250th anniversary of our independence as a nation, there is a little extra celebration in our country. Baseball is still America’s pasttime, even if football has passed it in terms of popularity. The majority of little kids still play T-ball first when they’re getting into team sports as […]
Phillies news: Zack Wheeler, bullpen, Carlos Rodon
The rare Friday off day couldn’t have come at a better time for the Phillies, what with their bullpen taxed quite a bit this week. They got a reinforcement to help with things, but what they really need is a healthy Brad Keller to come back and be closer to his 2025 form than what […]

Give Duran his money!
It was an interesting poll this week, me asking you which player should get a contract extension first were the Phillies to offer someone one. Here are the results: That’s about as close to a 50/50 split as you can get. If we’re focusing in on Jhoan Duran, I see why the team would want […]

The Founding Phathers
On a mid-September day in 1787, the residents of Philadelphia stood outside Independence Hall (or rather, what would someday be called Independence Hall), with bated breath. Inside, an assembly of the nation’s finest statesmen were hard at work crafting an institution that would shape not only the future of their young nation, but the world. […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/3/2026
A solid night for the Phillies’ affiliates with three of the top four recording victories, with Lehigh Valley winning twice. There was a lot of offense on a hot night, with Lehigh Valley and Reading combining for 39 runs over three games. Lehigh Valley 18, Rochester 3 Lehigh Valley 11, Rochester 9 The IronPigs earned […]
What do you think of Alan Rangel so far?
Alan Rangel has been the first one tasked with filling Andrew Painter’s spot in the Phillies rotation. So far, Rangel has appeared in three games, and Tim Mayza was utilized as an opener in two of them. Rangel has fared relatively well in his limited action, although the Phillies are 0-3 in those games. He […]
Phillies News: Zack Wheeler, Bryce Harper, the Defense
I don’t have a clever heat-related pun to use here. Did you know that the home run rate rises as the temperature does? You did? Well, that’s all I had. Onto the links. Phillies news Zack Wheeler was not happy that Don Mattingly pulled him in the fifth inning of his last start. The skipper […]
