Prolific slugger Kyle Schwarber did not want to get hung up on “what ifs” after the Philadelphia Phillies went down 1-0 versus the Atlanta Braves in the National League Wild Card Series, but following Thursday’s 6-2 season-ending loss, it is hard not to think about what could have been.

Chris Sale still found a way to contribute to the Atlanta Braves on Thursday, and he did so in historic fashion.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Philadelphia Phillies reached the postseason. However, 2026, like the four prior years, saw them come up short of their final goal of winning the World Series.
“Not with a bang, but with a whimper.” So wrote T.S. Eliot. He was many things, but he was not a baseball fan: if he had been, he would’ve known that the world, or at least a season, can end with both. The Phillies and their fans know this well: their 2026 ended with the […]

For about 27 hours, the Phillies’ magical Game 2 win over the Braves in the National League Wild Card Series, forcing a decisive Game 3, seemed like a spark. And then that decisive game got under way. The Phillies, who tabbed Aaron Nola as the starter instead of Zack Wheeler on short rest, saw their […]
The Phillies season is over, and Thursday night’s winner-take-all game never felt competitive. Aaron Nola allowed a 3-run blast to Michael Harris II in the first inning, and the Phillies could never claw back.

Philadelphia Phillies manager Don Mattingly was getting lambasted for starting Aaron Nola over Zack Wheeler in Thursday’s do-or-die National League Wild Card clash, but it turns out the Atlanta Braves are capable of punishing anyone on this night.

Don Mattingly may have taken the words “Wild Card” a bit too literally in Thursday’s win-or-go-home showdown with the Atlanta Braves. The Philadelphia Phillies interim manager chose to start All Star-turned-unpredictable-hurler Aaron Nola instead of the often reliable Zack Wheeler in the decisive Game 3 of this National League Wild Card Series.
