Who will be the Phillies’ September call-ups?
Today marks the first day of September, or in baseball terms, the day MLB rosters expand from 26 to 28 players. Each team will be allowed to add one pitcher and one hitter to their active roster as reinforcements for the final stretch run of the regular season. The Phillies will begin September in pretty […]
Get the best of The Good Phight on the new SB Nation app
It’s a big day for The Good Phight. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Phillies. You can download it by searching SB Nation for iOS or Android. I have already downloaded it and lemme tell you: it’s a much improved experience from what I’ve had to […]

Alight in August: Phillies 2, Diamondbacks 1
Aaron Nola continued his resurgence and Bryson Stott hit the bomb of his life to power the Philadelphia Phillies (78-60) to a 2-1 victory in the series opener against the Wild Card rival Arizona Diamondbacks (73-66) for their fifth straight win and 14th in their last 16 games. Nola notched his sixth win of the […]
Gamethread 8/31: Phillies at Diamondbacks
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Diamondbacks: Let’s talk about it.
Which prospect has impressed the most this season?
Earlier in the week, I put a post on The Feed asking about which prospect has impressed the most in the Phillies’ minor league system this year. My original idea was Bryan Rincon since he came from so far down the team’s prospect list to put himself in contention to at least be considered for […]
Ketel me why: Phillies vs. Diamondbacks series preview
The Phillies might not have swept most teams this past weekend, but fortunately, they got to go against the Angels and came away with three victories. They likely won’t have it as easy this week when they travel to Arizona to play the Diamondbacks. (Wins rarely seem to come easy for the Phillies at Chase […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 8/31/2026
Syracuse 8 – Lehigh Valley 7Syracuse 6 – Lehigh Valley 0Syracuse 8 – Lehigh Valley 0 Good news for baseball fans in the ABE area: Lots of potential Saturday baseball to enjoy. Bad news for baseball fans in the ABE area: Most of this wasn’t very enjoyable. The star of game 1 was Otto Kemp, […]
Three up, three down: week of Aug. 24-30
The week that started out not so hot ended up being a solid week for the Phillies, the team going 4-2 against the Mariners and Angels. Now they head on to Arizona for a big wild card showdown. Three up Bryce Harper – I think one day, we’ll appreciate a little more the dedication Harper […]
Should the Phillies re-sign Luis Arraez?
Since acquiring Luis Arraez in a deadline day trade with the Giants, the Phillies have played really well. There was a patch of lethargy of course, but for the most part, Arraez has seemingly been exactly what they needed in the lineup. Even the defense has been good! While the season is still in progress, […]
Phillies news: Front office, baserunning, Ketel Marte
Sweeping the Angels was needed, particularly as they head on to Arizona. We all know how well they play once there, so getting these three wins was a must. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Rolling again?: Phillies 5, Angels 2
The Phillies successfully completed a sweep of the Angels in Anaheim thanks to six strong innings from Zack Wheeler and a pair of home runs from J.T. Realmuto and Edmundo Sosa before the offense came alive late. It was the first quality start for Wheeler since July 21st, which was also the last time he […]
Gamethread 8/30: Phillies at Angels
After two close wins, the Phillies will go for the sweep on Sunday in the series finale against the Los Angeles Angels. Zack Wheeler gets the start for the Phillies, and will draw a lot of attention after a string of disappointing starts. The Angels will start Yusei Kikuchi. The Japanese lefthander has endured a […]
Who was an unsung hero of the 1980 championship team?
If you’re wondering why this is the question of the day, you didn’t see the news of the week. Larry Christenson passed away the other day, a man who spent his whole career with the Phillies. As a member of the 1980 champions, he played a pivotal role in their season. But when you think […]
Phillies news: Edmundo Sosa, Larry Christenson, Luis Robert
This is being written before the Phillies game even starts on Saturday night, which means that someone is going to come up with some crazy end game heroics. It’s what happened last night, so let’s try and see if it happens again. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Finding a way: Phillies 4, Angels 2
Another day, another comeback as the Philadelphia Phillies (76-60) took their second straight victory against the Los Angeles Angels (52-84). Cristopher Sanchez pitched one of his best starts of the season, allowing two hits and a walk over seven innings with eight strikeouts in a no decision. The Phillies got on the board first against […]
Gamethread 8/29: Phillies at Angels
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Angels: Let’s talk about it.
An offensive approach even your father would love, but you don’t
We asked you the question about whether or not you think this new offensive approach taken by the Phillies is just a hot streak of good games or an actual, concrete shift in their philosophy once they step into the batter’s box. Your thoughts: You bunch of pessimists, you. I can understand why though. Asking […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 8/29/2026
Thankfully, on this night, there was no rain around, meaning teams could actually play in their games. Here is how the kids did. Lehigh Valley 6, Syracuse 4 Robert Moore, you glorious man. Having himself a night, Moore went 3 for 3, blasting two home runs to lead the IronPigs to a victory, including this […]
The Phillies’ late inning heroics are a thrillingly routine
Late last night, while you were sleeping, Edmundo Sosa did it again. Sosa didn’t start last night’s thrilling 5-3, come-from-behind win over the Angels in Anaheim last night, but he sure did finish it. Brought up to the plate as a pinch hitter for Brandon Marsh in the top of the 9th, Sosa slammed a […]
Would you make the Carlos Estévez trade again?
Since the Phillies are playing the Angels over the weekend, let’s go all the way back to the 2024 trade deadline. Remember those days? The offense was good but everyone hated it, Johan Rojas and Christian Pache were platooning in center field before Pache was dealt to Baltimore, and Jeff Hoffman didn’t think about Miguel […]
Phillies news: Jesus Luzardo, Andrew Painter, George Lombard, Jr.
I think it’s great that the Rays are going to stay in Tampa Bay. I hate seeing teams relocate franchises regardless of the sport, so seeing that they are basically at the finish line to build a new stadium is good for Major League Baseball. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Let’s slop ‘em up!: Phillies 5, Angels 3
An erratic first inning by Andrew Painter was rectified as the Philadelphia Phillies (75-60) sent nine men to the plate in the top of the ninth inning against the Los Angele Angels (52-83) to snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat. The Halos scored all of their runs in a first inning that saw […]
Gamethread 8/28: Phillies at Angels
The Phillies will open a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. At 52-82, the Angels are tied for the Colorado Rockies for the fewest wins in baseball. Andrew Painter will start for the Phillies. He’s coming off the best start of his young career, giving up one run in seven innings […]
Choose Your Destiny: Brooks Raley vs José Alvarado
Don Mattingly and the Phillies have tried all season to find some sort of spark from their left-handed relief. Nothing has worked. The Phillies’ left-handed relievers as a unit rank second-worst in batting average allowed at .273 and sixth-worst in home runs allowed with 23. Some of this is poor luck, which we will get […]
