0-1 – An inauspicious start as Rangers lose 5-3 to Phillies on Opening Day

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 […]

Give us your predictions about the Phillies and the 2026 season

Usually, this question of the day part is where we ask a niche question about the team. Maybe it’s about someone’s approach at the plate, their recent work at that craft, or what you think about a player’s recent play. Today is simple. It being the Phillies’ home opener (and season opener), we’re looking for […]

National League East Preview: Mets face challenges from familiar foes

Last year’s National League East race ended with the Phillies (96-66) winning their second consecutive division crown, while the Mets (83-79) and Braves (76-86) both underperformed expectations and missed the playoffs entirely. The Marlins (79-83), meanwhile, came close to .500 as they showed promise and play a key role in ending the Mets’ postseason dreams […]

Opening Day is tonight. Kind of. Well, the Yankees and Giants play tonight, on Netflix, so I guess it’s Opening Night. And there will be stars on the broadcast. From other sports.

Locking up the rotation is a good idea, right?

Cristopher Sanchez will be a member of the Phillies rotation until 2032. Jesus Luzardo is at least under team control until 2032. Aaron Nola will be in Philadelphia until 2030. Zack Wheeler is only under contract for two more seasons including this one. Andrew Painter is under control for six years. The Phillies believe in […]

Do you buy in to Bryson Stott’s improvement?

Bryson Stott had himself a productive spring this year. The Phillies second baseman hit .366 with a 1.072 OPS across 16 Grapefruit League appearances. Spring training stats are not a surefire precursor to a successful season, but in this particular case, Stott’s success continues a trend of improved hitting dating back to last season. Stott […]

Today in White Sox History: March 24

1962 White Sox third baseman Andy Carey, traded to Philadelphia on December 15, is instead dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers after refusing to report to the Phillies. (The White Sox ended up sending pitcher Cal McLish to Philadelphia for minor league second baseman Lou Vassie to offset the Phillies not getting Carey.) Carey, just […]

Zack Wheeler is feelin’ fine, will go out on rehab

Hey, when you feel good, you feel good. Zack Wheeler, someone who just threw to batters for the first time recently, is feeling good enough that the team will send him on a rehab assignment in Lehigh Valley. That’s certainly some very welcome news for the team. They won’t rush him at all, though they […]

Numbers that will define the 2026 Phillies season

Opening Day is just days away, which means it’s almost time to officially turn the page on the 2025 season and move on to 2026. But until those games begin, the specter of 2025 will hang over everything and define the narratives for the start of the season. These are some of the numbers that […]

Phillies finalize roster, make a few other moves

Friends, we have a roster. The 26th man was a debate for a few days, though maybe it never should have been. A few token appearances by Garrett Stubbs appears to have not swayed the team’s thinking as to who would ultimately make the team. There will be more bullpen shuffling once the members of […]

Gamethread 3/22: Phillies at Yankees

The Phillies will play their penultimate game of the 2026 Grapefruit League season on Sunday when they travel to Tampa to face the New York Yankees. Aaron Nola, coming off a strong performance in the WBC will get the ball in his final appearance before the regular season. The Yankees will go with righthander Will […]

Phillies give Cristopher Sanchez a new six-year contract

A while ago, Cristopher Sanchez agreed to an extension with the Phillies that eventually made him incredibly underpaid. Now, the team has done right by their ace. According to reports, there is new money that is up to $107 million. That the team would choose to give Sanchez a new contract rather than continue to […]

2026 MLB Team Preview Series: Philadelphia Phillies

This current Phillies era of being October regulars began in 2022, when they got in as the final NL Wild Card and then went on a run to the World Series before falling to the Astros. In the three years since, they’ve made the postseason every time and won the NL East in the last […]

Well, at least most of you think the Phillies will make the playoffs

There has been quite the amount of negativity surrounding the Phillies this offseason. It does not help that the players they ended up signing this offseason were the same ones that were on the team last year, a pot probably stirred a bit by national and local media focusing on the idea that they are […]
