Small victories, large defeats.
Making any kind of conclusion this early into Spring Training is foolhardy. There’s not much that occurs before the calendar even flips to March that can be used to glean insight on how a player will perform once the games begin to count. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be something that catches your eye […]
Spring training is underway. The weather in Philadelphia hasn’t caught up, but no matter. Spring is coming. Onto the links. Phillies News Daniel Robert could’ve chosen to go elsewhere. He chose Philly. Zack Wheeler isn’t back yet, but he’s getting closer. ($) Andrew Painter’s Spring Training debut is this Sunday night. MLB news Buster Olney […]
The Phillies’ starting rotation has been the backbone of their climb to back to back National League East titles. When Zack Wheeler went down last year to an unexpected surgery, it made his 2026 season look dire. Now, we’re even closer to his returning in full. Zack Wheeler threw off a mound Thursday, a huge […]
Here are the lineups for today’s game. Phillies: Nationals: Garrett Stubbs hits a homer today.
In an interview with Scott Lauber of the Inquirer published yesterday, Zack Wheeler discussed his offseason full of surgery and recovery from a rather significant injury in the most nonchalant, Zack Wheeler way possible. Here’s an excerpt from that fascinating interview below: “In classic Wheeler fashion, he insists he isn’t worried. “I don’t think there’s […]
It was nice to see a healthy dose of Phillies regulars in the game yesterday. It’s hard to stay tuned into spring training games, especially this early, but seeing some of the players you recognize helps. Well at least it will until most of them leave for the World Baseball Classic next week. On to […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Tigers: Let’s talk about it.
The Phillies have had a bit of success finding guys that they can grab for free, raiding another team that is in a 40-man roster crunch. Curet could possibly be the next. Yoniel Curet – 97Zach McCambley – 82Alex McFarlane – 11Griff Burkholder – 9Keaton Anthony – 9Mavis Graves – 7Seth Johnson – 7 The […]
Last week, we asked you if you think Bryce Harper is still elite. Today, a slightly different question. What would you need to see from Harper in 2026 to deem him still elite? Everyone’s got a different standard for elite. Some would cite WAR. Some would consider that statistic too dismissive of the heart, the […]
Oh gee, another day waking up to snow. How wonderful. The Phillies will play some more games that will be broadcast this week, which always begs the question: why isn’t every single game broadcast? We know some teams and networks cheap out and don’t want to pay announcers or anything like that, but there is […]
For a few moments on Saturday, Phillies fans forgot about the drama. Justin Crawford, the left-handed-hitting rookie who everyone expects to be the everyday center fielder this year, walloped a ringing line drive double off the left-center field wall in his first plate appearance of spring training. It was a beautiful sight. Crawford’s penchant for […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Marlins: ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Let’s talk about it.
With Bryce Harper getting past Luis Garcia and Cliff Lee outgaining Nick Castellanos, we’ve reached the final four of the tournament to decide who was the best “late” free agent signing in recent Phillies history. Here are the semi-final matchups: 1.Cliff Lee, 2011 It’s a shame that Lee spent the final year and a half […]
One of the big questions heading into this Spring Training is who will fill out the five-man rotation to start the season. Most of the starters are set, headlined by reigning Cy-Young finalist Cristopher Sanchez. Aaron Nola, Jesus Luzardo, and Taijuan Walker fill in three of the remaining spots but with Zack Wheeler’s timeline uncertain, […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Nationals: Let’s talk about it.
The Phillies kicked off the start of their season over the weekend with games against the Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates. Many of the names competing for the final few spots in the bullpen and bench played and look to make good impressions for the rest of camp. The first two games of spring […]
We have a prospect here in Carson DeMartini that really needs to have a good season. Does this refrain sound familiar? Carson DeMartini – 190Zach McCambley – 171Mavis Graves – 79Ramon Marquez – 37Keaton Anthony – 25Griffin Burkholder – 12Seth Johnson – 8Yoniel Curet – 8Alex McFarlane – 7 Presumably, the Phillies are going to […]
We finally got some live Phillies baseball that we can watch this weekend and that means we can make some initial impressions. There were two games that we could draw from: one in which some of the kids started and played a bit and one where the regular lineup looked a little more intact. It […]
As many people are now snowbound again thanks to a blizzard in the region, I’d invite you to partake in some of the latest news around the team. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The Philadelphia Phillies dropped their home opener in Clearwater to the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 4-3 on Sunday afternoon. Trevor Richards, a thirty-two year old journeyman non-roster invitee, got the start and sandwiched a nice throw on a well-fielded infield dribbler with a pair of strikeouts for a scoreless appearance. As with yesterday’s […]
Rhys Hoskins is now a Guardian, agreeing to a deal with Cleveland on Sunday morning. His lengthy stay in free agency and non-guaranteed deal indicate that he wasn’t in high demand. However, there was at least one team that showed some interest in him, according to this report from Devan Kaney: That certainly got Phillies […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Pirates: Let’s talk about it.
It has always been pretty easy for an athlete to come to Philadelphia and win over the fanbase. The only real thing that is asked is that the player play hard. Athletic talent is something of a desired quality, but there are plenty of players that have been embraced by the city that were short […]
