Latest news and updates about the Phillies
The Nationals’ starting pitcher tonight, Foster Griffin, recently returned stateside from his years with the Yomiuri Giants of Tokyo. By taking that journey, Griffin followed in the footsteps of Lafcadio Hearn, a resident of New Orleans who moved to Japan and became the author of the collection of ghost stories and tall tales known as […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Nationals: Let’s talk about it.
After an unideal opening series against the Rangers, the Phillies will get their first look at a National League East opponent this season. And in what is hopefully good news, it’s the NL East opponent that most pundits expect will finish last in the division. Washington Nationals Record: 2-1 (Second place in National League East) […]
Yeah, I wasn’t feeling that weekend series against the Rangers. “Flat” would be a decent enough adjective to describe them, which is surprising considering they were opening at home. Time to move on. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Rangers 8, Phillies 3
Baseball seems to have the longest offseason around. If you have a team that you follow that isn’t in the playoffs (or gets bounced from the playoffs quickly), it feels like forever until Opening Day. That wait brings hope, promise and hype that this will be the season a championship parade is the endgame. Opening […]
The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored three runs. The two most notable offseason acquisitions for the Rangers this winter were Brandon Nimmo when he was acquired from the New York Mets for Marcus Semien back in November, and MacKenzie Gore when the Rangers unloaded the farm on the Washington Nationals […]

Now that the Phillies’ dreams of an undefeated season have been dashed, they’ll have to settle for going for a series victory over the Texas Rangers on Sunday. Jesus Luzardo gets the start for the Phillies. The lefthander was 15-7 with a 3.92 ERA in 2025. MacKenzie Gore will be making his Rangers debut after […]

Somewhere, at some point, Bob Uecker would have been proud of that game yesterday. Except for that whole getting a second hit thing in the ninth inning. Thanks, Alec, for ruining my joke for today. And, you know, the rest of the team for making it a ballgame. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored four runs in ten innings. Never a doubt, right? Ha ha ha… Corey Seager homered off Aaron Nola. So too did Jake Burger. That was a few hours ago. Feels like weeks. Then Rangers got a nice spot start from the other other Jacob, […]
After eight innings of struggling to muster consistent at-bats against a variety of Texas Rangers pitchers, they woke up in the ninth because the final three outs are always the hardest ones to get. With a three-nothing Rangers lead heading into the ninth, the Phillies had Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Alec Bohm due up […]

Texas Rangers lineup for March 28, 2026 against the Philadelphia Phillies: starting pitchers are Jacob Latz for the Rangers and Aaron Nola for the Phillies. The Rangers look to win their first game of the year and get to a .500 record on a chilly day in Philadelphia this afternoon. Jacob Latz is filling in […]
The Phillies opened the season with three pitchers on the injured list – Zack Wheeler, Orion Kerkering and Max Lazar. We kind of have an idea that at least Wheeler and Kerkering are going to be back sooner rather than later since they have already begun rehab assignments in Lehigh Valley. Lazar’s status is a […]
Now that we have baseball back today, we have to talk about this whole “day off after a game” Opening Day thing. I get it. MLB is scared of opening rainouts and wants a buffer day just in case. However, I am impatient and I want games all the time. Doubleheaders even! Maybe this will […]
A dynamic start from their ace. Two stars clubbing huge home runs. A rookie making a splashy debut. Some drama late, exterminated by their closer. Yep, 2026 Opening Day had pretty much everything you wanted to see from the Philadelphia Phillies. On a gorgeous spring day at Citizens Bank Park, a lot of things went […]
The first full day of the 2026 MLB season is in the books, and it couldn’t have gone much better for the Phillies. They won 5-3, got big home runs from Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm, got an ace like performance from Cristopher Sánchez, saw Justin Crawford collect two hits, and saw Jhoan Duran come […]
Phillies 5, Rangers 3
Opening Day is over. It was a joyous occasion, with only a brief bullpen blip to mar the otherwise unblemished affair. Now, an off day. We’ll have to do with watching non-Phillies clubs. But Phillies baseball, proper baseball, will return tomorrow. Onto the links. Phillies news: Alec Bohm is suing his parents over alleged mismanagement […]
Thursday’s Opening Day game against the Texas Rangers had everything a Phillies fan could want: A Schwarbomb, an impressive debut from a rookie, filthy pitching from Cristopher Sanchez, and a way-too-interesting ninth inning. Put it all together, and the Phillies improved to 1-0 on the season with a 5-3 win. After Sanchez worked around two […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Philadelphia Phillies scored five runs. The last time the Rangers began a season against the Phillies, they won the World Series. That’s certainly a positive omen as we begin this 2026 season journey. Those kinds of vibes didn’t last very long, however, as the Rangers whiffed on […]
