To understand the masterclass in trolling the Phillies social media team pulled off on Tuesday night, we first have to rewind to Monday night’s game, when Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen had Pirates fans in a frenzy with their broadcast: Would you believe me if I said that this tweet had 1.5M views? Ultimately, Aaron […]

The magician has taken center stage in Major League Baseball. For his first act, he’s making the ball disappear regularly. Four games in a row, to be exact. Pirates outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez has been a lightning rod for the offense over the past week, smashing six home runs in his first 16 career games. In […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Pirates: Let’s talk about it.

The Marlins matched their franchise record for June wins with a victory over the Rockies last night. The club can set the mark at 20 wins tonight. Miami is now mere percentage points behind St. Louis for the final NL Wild Card spot. 1. Valdez homers for fourth straight game The Pirates already have one […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates’ top prospect, Seth Hernandez, continues to make waves in his first year of professional baseball. His most recent start saw the young pitcher establish himself as maybe the best pitching prospect in baseball. Hernandez was on the bump for the Greensboro Grasshoppers in last Friday’s contest against the Rome Emperors when he […]
Aaron Nola’s seven-year, 172 million dollar contract that was signed in November of 2023, wasn’t supposed to be this way. The pitcher who finished fourth in the NL Cy Young race in 2022 is gone. The pitcher who, despite a lackluster 2023 season, was able to put together a strong game three NLDS start against […]
As the Philadelphia Phillies and Pittsburgh Pirates start a four-game series with major postseason implications, here is each team's fatal flaw.
The Pirates are going to be without their first baseman for a while. Spencer Horwitz tweaked his hamstring running out a ground ball in the Pirates’ 11-1 win against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Appearing on his weekly radio show on Sunday on flagship 93.7 The Fan, general manager Ben Cherington gave a bleak assessment […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Pirates: Let’s talk about it.
The Phillies took care of business against the Mets. By taking care of business, they just kind of got out of the Mets’ way and let them find ways to lose, but a win is a win, and the Phillies won two games in a stadium where they don’t often do so. Now, they’ll return […]

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes has been surprisingly human this season. The Cy Young Award winner has been plodding along of late, sitting on a 6-7 record with a 3.10 ERA. His WHIP still looks good at 0.97, and he has 114 striekouts in 93 innings pitched. But one of the biggest differences of late […]

After Brandon Lowe hit a three-run homer for the Pittsburgh Pirates in yesterday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, it gave hime a total of 20 dingers for the 2026 MLB season. That mark stands the highest since 2019, when Josh Bell had 27 homers at the break on his way to a 37-home run campaign. […]
The Cincinnati Reds rode a roller coaster all day against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday. The game was delayed early by rain and got soggy again late. Chase Burns, who started for the Reds on the day, struck out 10 Pirates in 6.0 IP…but also yielded 9 hits and 5 runs. The team took an […]
Right-handed pitcher Bryse Wilson was claimed on waivers by the Cubs from the Phillies earlier this week. And now, he’s on the active roster (Bluesky link): Wilson had eight years in the major leagues before 2026, with the Braves, Pirates, Brewers and White Sox. He was pretty bad for the Sox last year (6.65 ERA […]
It’s been a rough June for the Pittsburgh Pirates, as the Bucs have gone 9-13 while losing key players Spencer Horwitz, Konnor Griffin and Oneil Cruz to injury. Even some of their healthy big producers have slumped this month. However, one man has been the light in the darkness, consistently producing for them — Bryan […]

Cincinnati Reds manager Terry Francona had seemingly settled on centerfielder Blake Dunn as his everyday leadoff man a couple of weeks back. Despite the team’s overall inability to score runs on a regular basis, that wasn’t necessarily Dunn’s fault – he’s been pretty cromulent atop the order ever since. But with Dunn exiting Friday night’s […]
