Giants Magic Dies: Phillies 6 Giants 4
It wasn’t Andrew Painter’s best start. It just wasn’t. In the four-inning, 90-pitch outing for the rookie right-hander, there was bad command, which led to hitters’ counts and good swings from the Giants offense. That San Francisco offense might not have capitalized in the first. After back-to-back singles from Luis Arraez and Matt Chapman, he […]
Gamethread 4/6: Phillies at Giants
The Phils open up a three-game series in San Francisco with Andrew Painter on the mound for his second career start. Here are the lineups, let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Giants:
A crazy man’s utopia: Phillies vs. Giants series preview
The Phillies’ western swing started out well with the team scoring seven runs in the first inning of Friday’s game against the Rockies. Unfortunately, the offense largely dried up throughout the remainder of the series The Phillies will try to get their bats going again when they travel to San Francisco for a three-game series […]
Three up, three down: week of Mar. 30 – Apr. 5
I’m not a huge fan of the Nationals or the Rockies. They’re bad teams that are annoying to watch, but the Phillies need to play them thanks to the MLB schedule. This past week, the Phillies were supposed to win a series against each team, yet were only able to accomplish that against one of […]
What stadium has been the worst for the Phillies?
The Phillies are headed to San Francisco next to continue their road trip. That might sound like a solid trip for the team, but it feels like bad things happen in San Francisco, especially in Pac Bell Park (or whatever it is called these days). To wit: However, there are multiple ballparks that feel like […]
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Gage Wood, Hunter Brown
You had to think that a weekend in Colorado would help the offense a bit. Then they went and scored three runs in two games. I can’t figure this offense out just yet. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Mickey, mouse offense: Rockies 4, Phillies 1
The Phillies were going for a sweep over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Sunday. But two home runs by Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak and a second straight day of quiet offense from the Phillies allowed the Rockies to avert the sweep as they beat the Phillies 4-1. Taijuan Walker was looking to rebound […]
Gamethread 4/5: Phillies at Rockies
Happy Easter! In addition to candy, the Phillies are hoping the bunny gives them a sweep as they conclude their series against the Colorado Rockies on Sunday afternoon. They’ll hope that Taijuan Walker can do better in his second start of the season after a rough outing against the Nationals. He oddly has good career […]
What is your baseball “Final Four”?
It’s Final Four weekend in college basketball, so if you’re more focused on that, you can be forgiven. It’s a thrilling event to take in, even if your bracket is busted. For today’s question, it’s taking that concept and putting a baseball spin on it. What is your baseball “Final Four”? You can take this […]
Phillies news: Zack Wheeler, Dante Nori, Mookie Betts
Hey, Happy Easter to all of you. Hope your eggs were filled with Phillies chocolate coins, if they still even exist. Enjoy those egg hunts today. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Go tell it on the mountain: Phillies 2, Rockies 1
The Philadelphia Phillies (5-3) grew their early season win streak to four games as they came out on the right side of a rare pitchers’ duel in Denver, defeating the Colorado Rockies (2-6) by a score of 2-1 on Saturday night. Jesus Luzardo bounced back from his rough first start with a 6.2 IP 11 […]
Gamethread 4/4: Phillies at Rockies
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Rockies: Let’s talk about it.
Cristopher Sanchez: bright spot for the Phillies
The first week of the season was somewhat miserable for corners of the fanbase. It didn’t help that they didn’t win their opening series against the Rangers, losing it in quite bizarre fashion. Outside of a furious comeback against the Nationals on Wednesday afternoon, they almost lost the series to them as well, meaning people […]
The Moment: vs. the Nationals
The unit of the universe is the atom. The unit of a baseball game, however, is the moment. A season is comprised of series, which are comprised of games, which are comprised of innings, which are comprised of plate appearances, which are comprised of pitches and the subsequent swing decisions, and all that results. You’ve […]
When do you consider lineup changes?
Friday’s 10-1 blowout of the Rockies was the perfect salve for a lineup that was struggling. Granted, they were not facing a pitching staff that would be considered one of the better ones in the game, but it’s not as though they were facing monsters on the mound in Philadelphia. Several Phillies left town for […]
Phillies news: Zack Wheeler, Andrew Painter, Cade Horton
It seems that Zack Wheeler got roughed up a bit last night in his rehab start with Lehigh Valley. It’s probably mostly important to remember that he had major surgery and we aren’t sure what version of Wheeler will be returning soon. It’s also important to remember that this is his spring training, so peaks/valleys […]
The friendly confines: Phillies 10, Rockies 1
Colorado Rockies fans assuredly did not have high expectations for the 2026 season. The team lost 119 games in 2025, and they didn’t seem to significantly upgrade the roster in the offseason. So, when the fans sat down to watch their home opener against the Phillies on Friday afternoon, it’s not like most of them […]
Gamethread 4/3: Phillies at Rockies
The first road trip is here, and the Phillies are starting out at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. The starting pitching matchup is a reunion for Team Italy’s WBC rotation – Aaron Nola for the Phillies and Michael Lorenzen for the Rockies. Both are looking for their first win of the season. Here are the […]
The Phillies aren’t the only team with struggling stars
The numbers, they are ugly. Yep, it’s fair to say that, one week into the 2026 season, the “run-it-back gang” is misfiring on all cylinders. It has been frustrating to watch. As a team, the Phils are batting .220 with a .314 on-base percentage and a .360 slugging percentage. Those numbers are… not great. Turner’s […]
Now you’re blowing smoke, I think you’re one big joke: Phillies vs. Rockies series preview
The Phillies’ ninth inning comeback and extra inning win on Wednesday afternoon shifted the narrative of the early season. While a 3-3 homestand is a disappointment, it feels so much better than 2-4. The Phillies will now head on the road for the first time all season as they visit Coors Field, a stadium that […]
The Notes: New Concept and Outfield
To spice things up for a new season of The Notes, there will be a new dedicated section called “Sequence of the Week”. This section will break down a fun pitching or hitting sequence that happened during the week. I’ve done some video breakdowns in the past on TheGoodPhight but this section will be weekly […]
What are your first impressions of Adolis Garcia?
The Phillies signing of Adolis Garcia this offseason was met with at best a shrug and at worst rightful comparisons to former one year deal outfielders past. Garcia hadn’t been an average or above hitter since 2023 and was non-tendered by the Rangers after a 2025 campaign that saw him hit .227 with a .665 […]
Phillies News: Kyle Schwarber, Andrew Painter, MLB’s First Game
Two series are in the books, and now it’s time for the Phillies to test themselves on the road. A three game set in Denver’s high elevation is lined up for this weekend. But first, links. Phillies news Should Kyle Schwarber return to the leadoff spot? It’s early in the season, but not too early […]

Andrew Painter had a fabulous debut for the Phillies, which means that BreakingT wants to celebrate the moment. They have created a new piece of merchandise that you can grab. Now you can simply “Paint the Town!” with this piece of merch from BreakingT as well. Click on this link to take you to the […]
