Gamethread 6/12: Phillies at Brewers
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Brewers: Let’s talk about it
Adolis García to the 60 Day Injured List, Gabriel Rincones Jr. Called Up
The Phillies announced Adolis García would hit the 60-day injured list with a right latissimus dorsi tear and that Gabriel Rincones Jr. would be called up from AAA. Adolis García has not panned out as a one-year deal, hitting just .195 with a .599 OPS overall. Even with fantastic right field defense, he has graded […]
The Notes: Outfield and Nola’s Lefty Problem
The Phillies made a small trade with the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon, sending two prospects for outfielder Derek Hill and international bonus pool money. Hill is a low-cost platoon option and a plus defender at all three positions. It’s a good move to help alleviate some of their outfield injury issues. Adolis García […]
Opposition research: Jacob Misiorowski
Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski first caught the attention of Phillies fans when he was named to the 2025 National League All-Star team. The selection was somewhat curious because Miz (Sorry for the nickname usage, but I’m not typing out Misiorowski every time) was a rookie with only five career starts. And it was annoying for […]
Is Don Mattingly overusing Jhoan Duran?
On Wednesday night, closer Jhoan Duran was called on for a third straight game to protect a 7-4 lead against the Blue Jays. He gave up two hits in the 9th inning but danced between the raindrops and secured his 17th save in 18 chances and lowered his ERA to 1.99. Duran has given up […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/12/2026
You’re here for the Gage Wood notes, so let’s just right into an evening in which most teams in the Phillies’ system won their game and won was prevented from doing so by Mother Nature. Lehigh Valley 0, Scranton 0 (suspended, 4th inning) This game was suspended in the fourth inning due to weather. They’ll […]
What do you think the Phillies will do with Johan Rojas?
You’d be forgiven if you forgot all about Johan Rojas prior to yesterday’s news. The outfielder is still serving his 80-game suspension for PED use, but it was announced yesterday that during his preparation to return from that ban, he suffered an injury to his UCL and will be out for the rest of the […]
Phillies News: Derek Hill, Jhoan Duran, Cristopher Sánchez
The Phillies now head to Wisco for a set against the Brewers. I’ve heard that actual Wisconsinites never say “Wisco”. Is that true? As you can tell (or maybe not?) from my use of the term, I am not from Wisconsin. Onto the links. Phillies news The Phillies are going to have some All-Stars for […]
Phillies make a trade, acquire Derek Hill from White Sox
The Phillies made a deal with the Chicago White Sox today, grabbing a right handed bat for their outfield. Acquiring Hill will help shore up some major league outfield depth that the team really doesn’t have much of at the moment. This season with the White Sox, he has played all three outfield positions at […]
2026 Phillies MLB Draft Preview: Zion Rose, OF
After completing my most recent review on Daniel Jackson, I started thinking “What if the Phillies drafted for need?” The “need” being a right handed power bat, preferably a corner OF. I would also prefer if the prospect not be a reach or a guy that almost certainly will go 20 spots higher. Turns out […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/11/2026
The Phillies affiliates (APhilliates?) posted a 2-2 record last night, with plenty of offense: 25 runs scored in the games with the Single-A clubs (most of them scored against the good guys, unfortunately), and an extra-innings thriller for the IronPigs that saw them enter the ninth with one run and end the game with eight. […]
Do you think that the Phillies are overworking Jhoan Duran?
Tuesday night’s game featured a rare occurrence in Jhoan Duran blowing a save. The Phillies closer had been a perfect 16 for 16 in save opportunities until allowing the tying run and winning run to score in the ninth inning in Toronto without recording an out. That appearance was already the fifth time in eight […]
Phillies News: Johan Rojas, Adolis Garcia, Ronald Acuña Jr.
The Phillies have an off day today before traveling for a rather big series in Milwaukee this weekend. The Brewers sit atop the NL Central and are one of only five teams to have eclipsed the 40-win mark. If that wasn’t enough of a test, the Phillies will get to face Jacob Misiorowski right out […]
Is this the end for Mad Max?: Phillies 7, Blue Jays 4
Over the course of his long, illustrious career, future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer has had many dominant performances against the Phillies. Tonight was not one of them. The Phillies victimized the 41-year-old Scherzer in his first start back from the injured list, teeing off for five runs and two home runs off of their […]
Gamethread 6/10: Phillies at Blue Jays
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays: Let’s talk about it.
Ranking which Phillies are most likely to be All Stars
With the Phillies finally on track and playing better baseball, it seems clear the fanbase won’t have to endure an All Star Game as dreary as the last one played in Philadelphia. In 1996, Veterans Stadium was on the verge of falling down. Stray cats ruled the concourses. The scent or urine hung high in […]
Don Mattingly has done a good job with this team
You know who has done a really good job this year? No, not me <hold the applause>. No, it’s been Don Mattingly! Weirdly enough, when the team fired Rob Thomson, everyone knew that it wasn’t truly his fault that the team was struggling at the time. They weren’t playing well, the issues ultimately lying with […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/10/2026
Tuesday was a rough day on the Pharm, with only one win for a Phils team. Here’s how the games shaped up. Lehigh Valley 2, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 5 Early scoring gave the Railriders the win in the opening game of this series, with five runs in three innings. Carter Kieboom’s two-out, two-run double in the seventh […]
Do you think Adolis García has turned a corner?
Adolis García’s start in Philadelphia wasn’t a torrid one. In April he slashed .237/.330/.355. In May, that became .125/.218/.182. Offense tends to get better as the weather heats up. But García’s gotten a lot better with the bat in June. In this sixth month of 2026, he’s slashed .269/.269/.654. He’s hit three homers this month; […]
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Aaron Nola, Luis Lara
Batted ball luck, when going against the team you choose to root for, is the worst thing to watch. The Blue Jays had quite a bit of luck in that final frame against Jhoan Duran, but the guy was simply going to show a crack in the armor at some point. On to the links. […]
Blunders never Cease: Blue Jays 3, Phillies 2
The Toronto Blue Jays (32-35) got some help from Jhoan Duran’s faulty PitchCom as they walked it off against the Philadelphia Phillies (36-30) by a score of 3-2 in game two of the series. Zack Wheeler and Dylan Cease went punch for punch as two of the best starters in the game, each allowing one […]

Here are the lineups for game two against the Blue Jays. Let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Blue Jays:
The Phillies: easy playoff team?
On April 26, the Phillies lost to the Atlanta Braves, 6-2. The lonely two runs scored by the team were thanks to a home run by Kyle Schwarber, but it felt like an exercise in futility. Aaron Nola had given up six runs in the initial two innings of the game, a game that was […]
Who is the bigger concern for 2026: Aaron Nola or Andrew Painter?
Yesterday, Ethan asked you to put on a scale your confidence level in each of the Phillies starting pitchers. Today, we’re going to take that one step further and discuss the two pitchers who, without even looking at those replies, one can surmise made up the consensus on the lower end of the confidence scale. […]
