Phillies on the Pharm: 8/2/2026
There are some bright spots in the minor league system these days. Thank God, since there aren’t that many in the major leagues right now. How did the kids do? Lehigh Valley 4, Buffalo 1 Keaton Anthony, frequenter of this list, had two hits on the evening, including a double to lead the offense in […]
Which projection system do you pay most attention to?
Getting to the playoffs is the (supposed) goal of each team in major league baseball. As the season wears on, the odds each of them have of making the postseason fluctuate each day depending on the streak that each particular team goes on. While one would think those odds would remain somewhat static across different […]
Phillies news: Bryce Harper, infield, Camilo Doval
Maybe the Bowlan to Alvarado to Duran trio is the only way the Phillies are going to make it with their current bullpen. However they get to that group, I’m cool with it. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Deep Breaths Ahead of Deadline: Phillies 5, Orioles 0
Losers in eight of their last nine games, the Phillies just needed a win. However they could get it, and what could happen around it didn’t matter. Just walk away with a win to start a new month that hopefully won’t end in a 9-15 record. Cristopher Sánchez struck out eleven Baltimore Oriole, allowing just […]
Gamethread 8/1: Phillies at Orioles
Phillies have to win today, right? RIGHT??? Lineups:
Trea Turner should move off of shortstop in 2027
Earlier this week, we asked you a question about Trea Turner and changing positions. Many of you felt it was fait accompli. Turner’s defense has been a hot topic for some time now, but it seems that after the All-Star break, it has gotten louder. He has not helped things by playing a poor defense […]
Mailbag: let’s talk some (theoretical) trades
Since we are in the crazy season of teams talking trades, sometimes it’s fun to talk about ones people think the Phillies should be making. We’ve talked about what the needs are that this team has, so there’s really no reason to rehash what they’re looking around for. If you paid any attention to the […]
After last night’s start, where are you on Andrew Painter’s finish to the season?
Last night, Andrew Painter gave the Phillies pretty much all they could ask for. Six innings where his only mistake was a two-run home run by Pete Alonso, Painter looked pretty good in his return to the major leagues. He was able to get some swings and misses on his stuff, not as many as […]
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Andrew Painter, Tarik Skubal
The trade deadline draws nearer and it feels like we are all in a holding pattern talking about anything else in regards to the team. We want to see what the roster looks like post deadline as soon as possible, so let’s just get it over with. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Can you see the bottom?: Orioles 6, Phillies 4
Heading into the All Star break, the Philadelphia Phillies (57-53) were 11 games over .500, firmly in wild card positioning, and a game and a half back from Atlanta Braves for the division lead. After tonight’s 6-4 defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles (54-56), they’ve gone 3-10 since the break, now eight games […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Orioles: Let’s talk about it.
We could all use a vacation: Phillies vs. Orioles series preview
What’s the definition of “not going well?” How about playing a series against a team that came in on a 12-game losing streak, and getting swept? The series against the Marlins showed that it’s not just one thing plaguing the Phillies at the moment, it’s everything. Each loss came in a different fashion, with the […]
Wild Trades, Clay Holmes, and Revisiting 2022
The Connelly Early for Curtis Mead trade between the Boston Red Sox and Washington Nationals is still pretty wild. Mead now has a left wrist fracture, which probably takes him out of the lineup for at least a month and completely ruins the best argument for this trade for Boston, a better short term push […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/31/2026
It was a busy day for the Phillies affiliates, with two doubleheaders thanks to Tuesday’s rainouts. And happily, most of those games ended up as wins for the good guys. Buffalo 1, Lehigh Valley 0 The IronPigs pitchers allowed nine hits in the first game of their doubleheader, but just a single run. That run […]
Is it time to end the Gabriel Rincones Jr. experiment?
The Phillies outfield is the weakest link of a weak offense. As a group, the unit ranks 29th in OPS (.654), on base percentage (.278), and wRC+ (77). The recent month-long cold spell from their only plus player in Brandon Marsh has made the sore spots in the outfield stick out even more. The team […]
Phillies News: Chase Utley, Ramon Marquez, Trade Deadline
July draws to a close, August draws near. The trade deadline looms. On to the links. Phillies news: Eric Longenhagen takes a look at the Phillies prospects that could be on the move for FanGraphs. ($) You’re probably pretty familiar with Chase Utley’s accomplishments. But it’s fun to reminisce. Ramon Marquez is a pretty darn […]
Angels shortstop Zach Neto is apparently a target of the Phillies
The MLB Trade Deadline is less than a week away and with the team mired in a 40-game funk of mediocrity (a 20-20 record during that stretch), one of their star players openly challenging his boss to make improvements and that star player’s manager rebuffing those challenges, rumors persist the Phillies are interested in an […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/31/2026
It was a busy day for the Phillies affiliates, with two doubleheaders thanks to Tuesday’s rainouts. And happily, most of those games ended up as wins for the good guys. Buffalo 1, Lehigh Valley 0 The IronPigs pitchers allowed nine hits in the first game of their doubleheader, but just a single run. That run […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/30/2026
In these waning days in the Phillies organization for some players, let’s look at how some minor leaguers performed. Buffalo 5, Lehigh Valley 4 Keaton Anthony hit a home run for the IronPigs yesterday, which makes me wonder about his trade value. He’s a right handed hitting first baseman that can’t really play in the […]
How aggressive should the Phillies be at the trade deadline?
The trade deadline is rapidly approaching and with it are the expectations of moves. We’ve already seen the opening salvo of deadline season last weekend with the Nationals and Red Sox swinging a swap of former Phillies prospect and noted “guy traded for Cristopher Sánchez” Curtis Mead heading to Boston in exchange for Connolly Early. […]
Phillies News: Don Mattingly, Bryce Harper, Brandon Marsh
Yesterday was not a banner day for the Phillies manager. Shortly after making some interesting comments about the team’s star player, Don Mattingly made some extremely questionable pitching decisions in a game that helped kick off the meltdown that led to a devastating loss. No matter what you may think of Mattingly as a manager […]
Send Help: Marlins 8, Phillies 6
It’s hard to say a team reached rock bottom over three months after firing its manager following a ten game losing streak, but the Phillies hit a new low today when they blew a 6-0 lead to the Marlins in an 8-6 loss, finalizing a sweep at the hands of a team who entered the […]

Phillies on the Pharm: 7/29/2026
Not much to report on, as inclement weather wiped out games for Lehigh Valley, Reading, and Jersey Shore on Tuesday night. But the two teams that avoided the East coast rain were victorious. Clearwater 15, Jupiter 4 The Threshers scored 13 runs across the fifth and sixth innings to record an easy win over the […]
It is a disgrace the Phillies need so much help
It was seemingly a plea of desperation. Following another post-All Star Game defeat, this time a 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins that secured their fourth consecutive series loss to start the second half and dropped them to 3-8 in their last 11 games, Bryce Harper uttered a statement of fact we all know to […]
