Gamethread 7/12: Phillies at Tigers
The Phillies will conclude the first half of the season in Detroit in what should be an excellent pitching matchup. Zack Wheeler, despite being one of the best pitchers in the league for the past six years and having an excellent first half was only given a token invitation, which he declined. Last time out, […]
A Wet and Wild Time with the Phillies and the 1952 All-Star Game
This year will mark the fifth time the MLB All-Star game will take place in Philadelphia, but only the fourth time it will be hosted by the Phillies. The Midsummer Classic first came to Philadelphia in 1943, but it was the Athletics that played host at Shibe Park as the American League reigned victorious over […]
Phillies draft day one recap
The Phillies had a day to remember yesterday at the MLB draft. Not picking until the 36th pick thanks to their spending money on their major league team, they had to wait a while to make that first pick. If there was anything this team needed in its farm system, it’s top flight hitters with […]
Phillies news: Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Zack Wheeler
Bryce Harper snapped his out of his funk last night, collecting two hits after looking rather disinterested in doing so the past few games. Good thing too as he has a busy week ahead of him. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
As it was, so it shall be again: Phillies 4, Tigers 2
Cristopher Sanchez stunk the other day in Kansas City. We mentioned pitch tipping as the main reason the Royals were able to put a beatdown on him, but the simple fact was that his stuff wasn’t good, he left it over the middle of the plate and was hammered as a result. Tonight, against the […]
Phillies select Caden Bogenpohl with their 2nd pick
The Phillies are on the clock again and went with another bat. Caden Bogenpohl, an outfielder from Missouri State. Missouri State has produced big league batting champions (Bill Mueller), home run leaders (Ryan Howard, Luke Voit) and Rookie of the Year Award winners (Drake Baldwin). Now the Bears feature one of the most physically imposing […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Tigers: Let’s talk about it.
Phillies select Tyler Spangler with their first pick
The MLB draft has begun, which means the Phillies have to add players to their farm system. Not given a first round pick due to their spending too much money on their major league team, their first pick is in. The Phillies have selected Tyler Spangler with their first pick, the 36th in the draft. […]
2026 Phillies MLB Draft Preview: A Smorgasbord of Starters
I’ve done my best this year to avoid many Pitching write ups. After the team went kind of pitching nuts last year, I figured they’d probably filled the cupboard and may focus elsewhere. However, top draft prospect lists right now are jam packed with Pitching in the 25-50 range in their prospect lists. So TINSTAPP […]
Every Phillies All-Star Game Home Run
When I set out to write this list, I prepared for a long haul. The Phillies have had no shortage of sluggers in their All-Star history, from Chuck Klein to Kyle Schwarber. Surely, then, they must have had plenty of round trippers across the 95 All-Star games that have been played. But there’s actually only […]
Phillies 2026 MLB draft tracker
The MLB Draft is here and you can track all of the picks the Phillies make right here. Their first pick is #36 as a result of passing the second surcharge of the Competitive Balance Tax. All write ups courtesy of MLB Pipeline unless noted. Competitive Balance Round A – #36: Tyler Spangler, SS Because […]
Phillies mock draft roundup, final edition
The MLB Draft is this afternoon, which means the final batch of mock drafts have been published. Now, we wait to see which people are most in the know when it comes to the plans of all the other teams. Let’s see what people think the Phillies are going to do. Phillies mock draft roundup, […]
Phillies news: Kyle Schwarber, David Montgomery, JJ Wetherholt
I do at least appreciate that when the Phillies lose a game like that, I can at least focus my attention on something else and not be dialed into every single pitch like normal. It lets me get some things done around the house for the evening. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Can’t get no relief: Tigers 10, Phillies 2
Aaron Nola was serviceable again but Tim Mayza had one of the worst innings of his nine-year big league career as the Philadelphia Phillies (52-43) unraveled late in a 10-2 drubbing at the hands of the Detroit Tigers (44-50). Derek Hill led off the third inning with his seventh home run of the year for […]

All-Star Game 2026: Know Before You Go and Everything In-between
With the World Cup Fever leaving the city, Jaylen Brown a Sixer, and the Flyers failed offer sheet of Leo Carlsson…the focus has shifted back towards the MLB All-Star Game activities hosted by yours truly, Philadelphia. We are just hours away from the launch of MLB All-Star Week that should have something for everyone who […]
2026 Phillies MLB Draft Preview – Fun Names
Peyton Bonds, OF – Rutgers University Before you ask: Yes, that Bonds. This is the son of Bobby Bonds, Jr and Barry’s nephew. He’s a 6’5” 230 lbs 21 year old right handed hitter. This Bonds is a round 2 or 3 option who weirdly despite being rather massive has very little Power in his […]
Gotta get away: Phillies vs. Tigers series preview
The unofficial first half of the season wraps up with a three-game series in Detroit. For whatever reason, recent Phillies teams haven’t done well in “getaway” games, so I’m worried that they might just try to coast through what is somewhat of a “getaway” series. I’m especially pessimistic about Sunday’s game when about half the […]
Go get a bat, Dave!
This week, I asked a simple question, or what I thought was a simple question. Does Dave Dombrowski need to get an outfield bat at the trade deadline no matter how well the current group is doing? It seems like a simple question since, well, we all have eyes. Going into a pennant chase with […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/10/2026
If you live anywhere near Philadelphia, you know what the theme of last night’s games are: rain. There was a lot of it. How did the minor leaguers cope? Lehigh Valley 8, Columbus 7 ‘Twas the Dylan Moore show. A four for five day for Moore in which he hit two home runs and drove […]
2026 MLB All-Star Game Preview
The wait is almost over, as Philadelphia is set to host the 96th edition of the MLB All-Star game on Tuesday. July 14th. It will be the fifth time the City of Brotherly Love has played host to the event and the first time since 1996 when the game was held at Veteran’s Stadium. The […]
I Singer The Body Electric: Phillies 1, Reds 0
When the city of Cincinnati was founded, the Passenger Pigeon was so numerous that a passing flock could blot out the sun. By 1907, the entire species was reduced to a single bird, residing at the Cincinnati Zoo. Tonight, offense faced a similar extinction, felled by merciless pitching. Brady Singer, the Cincy starter, sent his […]
Bryce Harper is in the Home Run Derby
It’s a Home Run Derby, in Philadelphia, in front of a large audience that is focusing their attention on one thing for the night. Was there any doubt that Bryce Harper would participate? In news that should surprise no one, Harper is participating in the Home Run Derby (don’t forget – it’s on Netflix this […]

Left-handed relief is suddenly a major issue for the Phillies
For a team with a 51-42 record that is just three games out of first place in the NL East, the Phillies have a number of worrisome holes. Despite an improved offense and the surprising emergence of Derek Hill as a stabilizing force in the outfield, they still lack at least one more productive right-handed […]
