Latest news and updates about the Phillies
Today is something of a big day for the Phillies. Andrew Painter makes his spring debut for the team as they look to see if he is the best option for the fifth spot in the rotation. There has been excitement surrounding him this camp as he works his way back from a disappointing 2025, […]
The hopes for Aidan Miller playing games during spring training and potentially forcing the team to make a decision have taken a hit. He has an issue with his back that preventing him from doing much at all right now. Miller, 21, is recovering from a recurring back issue, stalling the Phillies’ plans to play […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays: Let’s talk about it.
We have two spring games today, so we get two GameThreads in one. That is our reward for making it to the end of February. Both games have some players I’d like to watch. More of the regulars are in the Phillies game. And we can watch Dylan Cease pitch in that one. Jose Berrios […]
We’ve reached the finals of the “Last Man In” free agent tournament! I took the last free agent signed before the season for the last 16 years and let the readers decide which was the best. And let’s face it, it was always going to come down to these two. 1.Cliff Lee, 2011 Accolades: Two […]
Today is the last day where all players will be in camp before many depart for the WBC and prepare for the tournament. That means we’re about to see a lot of minor league pitching taking the mound, which could lead to some interesting scores in the upcoming weeks. On to the links. Phillies news: […]
When I get older, losing my bat speed/many seasons from now/will you still call me among the best/putting up a .900 OPS? Those lyrics to the Beatles’ When I’m Sixty Four—very slightly modified from the original— must be ringing in Bryce Harper’s ears right now. Entering his age-33 season, he is no longer young. He’s […]

Here are the lineups for the split squad game you can watch. For the Phillies: For the Marlins: And, if you’re interested, here is who is on the road. Let’s talk about it.
The NL East could have several strong teams this year. The Phillies appear to be in win-now mode. The Mets have made major changes. The Braves should recover from a down year in 2025. Even the Marlins could make some noise. The Nationals? Well, they are here. Atlanta Braves Key departures: Jarred Kelenic, Marcell Ozuna, […]
Making any kind of conclusion this early into Spring Training is foolhardy. There’s not much that occurs before the calendar even flips to March that can be used to glean insight on how a player will perform once the games begin to count. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be something that catches your eye […]
Spring training is underway. The weather in Philadelphia hasn’t caught up, but no matter. Spring is coming. Onto the links. Phillies News Daniel Robert could’ve chosen to go elsewhere. He chose Philly. Zack Wheeler isn’t back yet, but he’s getting closer. ($) Andrew Painter’s Spring Training debut is this Sunday night. MLB news Buster Olney […]
The Phillies’ starting rotation has been the backbone of their climb to back to back National League East titles. When Zack Wheeler went down last year to an unexpected surgery, it made his 2026 season look dire. Now, we’re even closer to his returning in full. Zack Wheeler threw off a mound Thursday, a huge […]
Here are the lineups for today’s game. Phillies: Nationals: Garrett Stubbs hits a homer today.
In an interview with Scott Lauber of the Inquirer published yesterday, Zack Wheeler discussed his offseason full of surgery and recovery from a rather significant injury in the most nonchalant, Zack Wheeler way possible. Here’s an excerpt from that fascinating interview below: “In classic Wheeler fashion, he insists he isn’t worried. “I don’t think there’s […]
It was nice to see a healthy dose of Phillies regulars in the game yesterday. It’s hard to stay tuned into spring training games, especially this early, but seeing some of the players you recognize helps. Well at least it will until most of them leave for the World Baseball Classic next week. On to […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Tigers: Let’s talk about it.
The Phillies have had a bit of success finding guys that they can grab for free, raiding another team that is in a 40-man roster crunch. Curet could possibly be the next. Yoniel Curet – 97Zach McCambley – 82Alex McFarlane – 11Griff Burkholder – 9Keaton Anthony – 9Mavis Graves – 7Seth Johnson – 7 The […]
Last week, we asked you if you think Bryce Harper is still elite. Today, a slightly different question. What would you need to see from Harper in 2026 to deem him still elite? Everyone’s got a different standard for elite. Some would cite WAR. Some would consider that statistic too dismissive of the heart, the […]
Oh gee, another day waking up to snow. How wonderful. The Phillies will play some more games that will be broadcast this week, which always begs the question: why isn’t every single game broadcast? We know some teams and networks cheap out and don’t want to pay announcers or anything like that, but there is […]
For a few moments on Saturday, Phillies fans forgot about the drama. Justin Crawford, the left-handed-hitting rookie who everyone expects to be the everyday center fielder this year, walloped a ringing line drive double off the left-center field wall in his first plate appearance of spring training. It was a beautiful sight. Crawford’s penchant for […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Marlins: ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Let’s talk about it.
With Bryce Harper getting past Luis Garcia and Cliff Lee outgaining Nick Castellanos, we’ve reached the final four of the tournament to decide who was the best “late” free agent signing in recent Phillies history. Here are the semi-final matchups: 1.Cliff Lee, 2011 It’s a shame that Lee spent the final year and a half […]
One of the big questions heading into this Spring Training is who will fill out the five-man rotation to start the season. Most of the starters are set, headlined by reigning Cy-Young finalist Cristopher Sanchez. Aaron Nola, Jesus Luzardo, and Taijuan Walker fill in three of the remaining spots but with Zack Wheeler’s timeline uncertain, […]
