Should Harper Move to the Outfield?
Bryce Harper brought an interesting piece of luggage on his trip to Miami: an outfielder’s glove. There’s no immediate plans for him to use it. But if the Phillies make a trade that brings a new first baseman to town, he’s at least willing to consider a return to his old stomping grounds. So today’s […]
Phillies news: Zack Wheeler, Bryce Harper, Tarik Skubal
Looks like Kyle Schwarber ate some of the diarrhea lettuce, which is bad. Team needs as many runs as they can get, so hopefully it’s a one game thing. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Invariations on a theme: Marlins 1, Phillies 0
The Philadelphia Phillies (57-51) lost their fourth straight series to begin the second half of the season with a 1-0 loss to the Miami Marlins (54-54) in game two of the series. Aaron Nola had his second best start of the season, allowing only one run in five and two-thirds’ innings of work. His best […]
Gamethread 7/28: Phillies at Marlins
Here are the lineups for game two in Miami. Let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Marlins:
Should Trea Turner switch positions after the season?
Earlier today, I wrote about what Trea Turner might look like as a center fielder, a possible position he could play should the team decide to make a switch after the season is over. There is evidence that the team should make the move with Turner, but will they. That’s open to debate. What do […]
It’s time. Make Trea Turner a center fielder in 2027
The time is drawing nigh in which the Phillies should consider a position switch for Trea Turner. More and more, 2025’s positive statistical defensive season is looking like an anomaly for Turner, one in which he was actually a positive on the dirt and an asset to the team. There is probably some recency bias […]
Will Andrew Painter pitch in the majors again this year?
The Phillies are in the market for a starting pitcher this trade deadline season primarily due to the failure of Andrew Painter to stick in the rotation. The team planned for their top prospect to occupy the fifth starter’s role this season, but after a 1-8 record and 7.06 ERA through 14 games by mid-June, […]

Ground Rules of Engagement: Marlins 8, Phillies 7
This one started with a Bryce Harper homer, of the two-run variety. The ball went off his bat, and towards center field in the space-age dome that is LoanDepot Park; Fish center fielder Jakob Marsee began to run towards it, then stopped. Perhaps he saw the inevitable, or perhaps he was distracted by the absence […]

She’s a good girl, loves her mama: Phillies vs. Marlins series preview
The Phillies haven’t played very well since the All-Star break, going 3-6 and losing all three of their series. But that’s nothing compared to the struggles of the Marlins. You might remember the Marlins being red hot in June and early July, going on a 26-8 to put themselves into playoff contention. But the Marlins […]
Three up, three down: week of July 20-26
I mean, this isn’t going to be the easiest choice of three players that deserve the accolades they are all clearly dying for since the team kind of stunk up the joint. Maybe the “three up” portion is something of a stretch, but bear with me here. Three up Trea Turner – Offensively, Turner had […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/27/2026
It was yet another day evaluate what Andrew Painter on the mound and it turned out to be something very positive. How the kids did: Lehigh Valley 9. Indianapolis 8 With Painter on the mound for the IronPigs, he was going to draw most of the focus and for the better part, he was very […]
What did you think of the NBC broadcast last night?
A lot of times, when the Phillies are on a national broadcast, it’s kind of annoying how unprepared they seem about the Phillies. It’s near impossible to be completely up to date on everything the team is doing, but it’s always somewhat rough to watch. Last night, maybe it’s because the announcers were simply better […]
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Brian Keller, Shea Langeliers
Actual offense was on display last night in Philadelphia, but this defense, if it doesn’t get cleaned up fast, is going to be the downfall of this team. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Phair to middlin’: Phillies 11, Yankees 4
Alec Bohm and Bryson Stott combined for nine RBI as the Philadelphia Phillies (57-49) staved off the sweep with an 11-4 rout of the New York Yankees (59-46) on Sunday Night Baseball. Cristopher Sanchez was his dominant self most of the night, striking out six across six innings, but gave up all three of his […]

The Phillies, off to the Not-So-Wacky Races
And now, here they are! The most daredevil group of baffling baseballers to ever whirl their wheels in the Wacky Baserunning Races! Competing for the title of the world’s wackiest baserunner! The competitors are approaching the baseline… The first is Jumbled-Up J.T., who dashes back to second when staying at third would do just fine… […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/26/2026
A depressing night in the major leagues and a semi-depressing night in the minor leagues. Let’s check in on the kids: Indianapolis 9, Lehigh Valley 0 Good lord, what a pitiful showing by the offense. A double by Paul McIntosh, a single by Liover Peguero and that’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. Alan Rangel must […]
Who is the best player traded at the deadline?
This isn’t really a question of the day that is narrowed to the Phillies. Instead, let’s look around the league and try and make a guess. A lot of the same players are being bandied about the rumor mill these days, enough that we can kind of narrow down the list to who would actually […]
Phillies news: J.T. Realmuto, OBP, Max Meyer
Would be nice if the offense did something with runners in scoring position, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers. I think we’d all just take a few hits period. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The offense, it’s offensive: Yankees 3, Phillies 1
When the Phillies struggle on offense as a collective, there is usually a simple recipe for it: Wash, rinse, repeat. The offense is in the middle of one of those stretches right now where everyone is trying to do too much, swinging at bad pitches, trying to hit a seven run home run and now, […]

Relief pitchers are on the docket at the deadline
This week, I asked you what the Phillies were going to end up acquiring at the trade deadline by way of a poll. Here are the results: Maybe this is all of us thinking the bare minimum will be a reliever, but there seems to be a pretty good split amongst people about what the […]
Phillies acquire Kameron Misner in trade with KC
A trade! A trade with Kansas City! If you were here expecting a bigger deadline deal with the Royals, I have some bad news for you. Misner is likely no more than better organizational depth than what Steward Berroa was. Once a compensation pick for the Marlins, Misner is now floating in between the majors […]
