Latest news and updates about the Phillies
The Phillies’ western swing started out well with the team scoring seven runs in the first inning of Friday’s game against the Rockies. Unfortunately, the offense largely dried up throughout the remainder of the series The Phillies will try to get their bats going again when they travel to San Francisco for a three-game series […]
I’m not a huge fan of the Nationals or the Rockies. They’re bad teams that are annoying to watch, but the Phillies need to play them thanks to the MLB schedule. This past week, the Phillies were supposed to win a series against each team, yet were only able to accomplish that against one of […]
The Phillies are headed to San Francisco next to continue their road trip. That might sound like a solid trip for the team, but it feels like bad things happen in San Francisco, especially in Pac Bell Park (or whatever it is called these days). To wit: However, there are multiple ballparks that feel like […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck for this week! First up, the Giants welcome the Philadelphia Phillies to town for a three-game series starting tonight. After that, they will head east to start a road trip with a three-game […]
You had to think that a weekend in Colorado would help the offense a bit. Then they went and scored three runs in two games. I can’t figure this offense out just yet. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The Colorado Rockies successfully avoided the sweep in their first home series of the season, putting away the Philadelphia Phillies 4-1 on a sunny Sunday afternoon. Very strong pitching—a key theme through most of the nascent season thus far—helped the Rockies keep the Phillies at bay while three home runs from Rockies bats powered them […]
The Phillies were going for a sweep over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Sunday. But two home runs by Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak and a second straight day of quiet offense from the Phillies allowed the Rockies to avert the sweep as they beat the Phillies 4-1. Taijuan Walker was looking to rebound […]
Happy Easter! In addition to candy, the Phillies are hoping the bunny gives them a sweep as they conclude their series against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon. They’ll hope that Taijuan Walker can do better in his second start of the season after a rough outing against the Nationals. He oddly has good career […]
Hey, Happy Easter to all of you. Hope your eggs were filled with Phillies chocolate coins, if they still even exist. Enjoy those egg hunts today. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Do you feel déjà vu? As was often the case in the two series against the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays, the Colorado Rockies wasted wonderful pitching with atrocious hitting. Strikeouts and men left on base loomed large, as the Rox had their chances only to come up just one run short as the […]
The Philadelphia Phillies (5-3) grew their early season win streak to four games as they came out on the right side of a rare pitchers’ duel in Denver, defeating the Colorado Rockies (2-6) by a score of 2-1 on Saturday night. Jesus Luzardo bounced back from his rough first start with a 6.2 IP 11 […]
The first week of the season was somewhat miserable for corners of the fanbase. It didn’t help that they didn’t win their opening series against the Rangers, losing it in quite bizarre fashion. Outside of a furious comeback against the Nationals on Wednesday afternoon, they almost lost the series to them as well, meaning people […]
Friday’s 10-1 blowout of the Rockies was the perfect salve for a lineup that was struggling. Granted, they were not facing a pitching staff that would be considered one of the better ones in the game, but it’s not as though they were facing monsters on the mound in Philadelphia. Several Phillies left town for […]
It seems that Zack Wheeler got roughed up a bit last night in his rehab start with Lehigh Valley. It’s probably mostly important to remember that he had major surgery and we aren’t sure what version of Wheeler will be returning soon. It’s also important to remember that this is his spring training, so peaks/valleys […]
Today was not the party the Rockies or their fans were hoping for. For a moment, it felt like it might be possible. A perfect afternoon, a packed house, and Hunter Goodman receiving his Silver Slugger before first-pitch set an optimistic tone. Then the first inning happened. Michael Lorenzen never settled in. Trea Turner led off with a double, walks […]
Colorado Rockies fans assuredly did not have high expectations for the 2026 season. The team lost 119 games in 2025, and they didn’t seem to significantly upgrade the roster in the offseason. So, when the fans sat down to watch their home opener against the Phillies on Friday afternoon, it’s not like most of them […]
The first road trip is here, and the Phillies are starting out at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The starting pitching matchup is a reunion for Team Italy’s WBC rotation – Aaron Nola for the Phillies and Michael Lorenzen for the Rockies. Both are looking for their first win of the season. Here are the […]
The Phillies’ ninth inning comeback and extra inning win on Wednesday afternoon shifted the narrative of the early season. While a 3-3 homestand is a disappointment, it feels so much better than 2-4. The Phillies will now head on the road for the first time all season as they visit Coors Field, a stadium that […]
The Phillies signing of Adolis Garcia this offseason was met with at best a shrug and at worst rightful comparisons to former one year deal outfielders past. Garcia hadn’t been an average or above hitter since 2023 and was non-tendered by the Rangers after a 2025 campaign that saw him hit .227 with a .665 […]
Today is the day: Baseball is back in Denver. Despite losing 119 games last season, when the Home Opener comes to the Mile High City, hope springs eternal. After starting the season on a six-game road trip in Miami and Toronto, the Rockies (2-4) are hosting the Philadelphia Phillies (3-3) today at 2:10 p.m. As […]
Two series are in the books, and now it’s time for the Phillies to test themselves on the road. A three game set in Denver’s high elevation is lined up for this weekend. But first, links. Phillies news Should Kyle Schwarber return to the leadoff spot? It’s early in the season, but not too early […]
Tomorrow, the Colorado Rockies will host the Philadelphia Phillies for their Mile-High Home Opener, and you know that that means: New food items have been added to the menu, and now dining choices are available at Coors Field. Because we here at Purple Row are committed to providing you with the latest news (and the […]
Andrew Painter had a fabulous debut for the Phillies, which means that BreakingT wants to celebrate the moment. They have created a new piece of merchandise that you can grab. Now you can simply “Paint the Town!” with this piece of merch from BreakingT as well. Click on this link to take you to the […]

Check back regularly for posts about the Phillies participation (or lack thereof) in […]
With today officially marking the one-week mark of the Phillies season, it also means that we have reached the conclusion of the first week of Justin Crawford’s major league career. And what a week it was. Crawford has stepped right in and provided a spark, capped off by his walk-off single in extras on Wednesday. […]
