Latest blog entries from Philadelphia teams across every league
JR Ritchie was slated to start today’s game, but instead, Jose Suarez gets the start, with Ritchie set to get some work later in the game. Taijuan Walker will take the mound for Philly, coming off of a rough two seasons and looking to bounce back in a contract year. The Braves are running out […]
The Atlanta Braves will visit BayCare Ballpark on Sunday afternoon for some Grapefruit League action. Taijuan Walker will be the first pitcher for the Phillies, fresh off his stint with the Mexican team in the WBC. The Braves are expected to start with lefthander Jose Suarez. Game time is 1:05 and will be televised locally […]
The other day, I asked a few questions about Rob Thomson and his tenure with the Phillies. He is in the midst of arguably the best stretch of regular season baseball this franchise has had in their history, yet he is not as universally liked as one might imagine. There are pockets of people that […]
Another spring victory, which is great, but we’re here for the showdown tonight in Miami. United States vs. Dominican Republic, Paul Skenes vs. possibly the best lineup ever assembled. If you’re not excited by this matchup, I’m know sure you have a pulse. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The Philadelphia Eagles had interest in signing free agent wide receiver Darnell Mooney before he ultimately joined the New York Giants instead, according to a report from NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. Fowler adds that Mooney has a good relationship with Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy after previously overlapping together on the Chicago Bears from 2020-2021. […]
The Flyers welcomed a few familiar faces back to Philadelphia again tonight in Ivan Provorov and Egor Zamula. This was an important one for both sides, and they certainly weren’t making any new friends out there– Denver Barkey was boarded, Nikita Grebenkin was chatty as ever, and Carl Grundstrom fought Adam Fantilli. Two crucial points — or three — were on the line between teams in direct contention with each other, and it’s a disappointing conclusion to an exciting week for the Flyers. They r...
After a quick trip out to Minnesota on Thursday (and a huge win collected there), the Flyers are back at it again on home ice tonight. They’re putting together a nice run of play and certainly making things interesting in the race towards playoff contention, but another challenge lies in front of them tonight, as they face off against the Blue Jackets, who sit ahead of them in the standings, and just a point out of the final wildcard spot. Puck drop: 7:30 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺...
I think it may be possible there’s some risk in trading for Rockies relievers. The org isn’t exactly known for churning out well-developed arms, and Angel Chivilli is having a nightmare of a spring training. The Yankees got a good start from Max Fried — save one bad frame — and clawed their way out […]
The Brooklyn Nets never seriously considered making a playoff run in June when they drafted five rookies in the first round, in August when they ate unplayable salary for future picks, and in November when they began sitting veterans to give younger players more developmental minutes. Thursday night was the first time they acted like […]
Just when you thought they’d win a game in a manner you could feel good about. The Sixers survived blowing a 28-point lead to the tanking Brooklyn Nets Saturday afternoon, escaping with a 104-97 win. They are 36-31 and now a half game up on the Atlanta Hawks for the East’s eighth seed. Quentin Grimes […]
Before the 2023 season, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters: “I believe Johnny Mundt is the best third tight end in the NFL.” I could not say it better myself. And O’Connell said it like it was a compliment, because it was meant to be one! Mundt has never caught 20 passes in […]
Last week’s trade deadline did not prove to be too fruitful for the Philadelphia Flyers. The biggest move they did actually make was the one-for-one swap of winger Bobby Brink for the younger and more raw defenseman, David Jiricek from the Minnesota Wild. But according to a recent report, they were eyeing a sizeable addition but not at forward, or getting another defenseman; it was in the crease. No trade was actually made, of course — since, you know, the trade deadline passed last Frida...

A rare 1:00 PM ET affair for the Brooklyn Nets. It’s game No. 67 and things have only gotten uglier as the Nets continue to sit integral players. Egor Demin is out the rest of the season and so is Day’Ron Sharpe. It’s a stinger in the midst of what’s already been a very long […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Yankees: Let’s talk about it.
The Seattle Seahawks have a definite need at cornerback following Riq Woolen’s free agent departure for the Philadelphia Eagles. Even if Nehemiah Pritchett is more or less Woolen’s direct replacement in Seattle’s defensive rotation, there are literally no other cornerbacks on the depth chart aside from Pritchett, Devon Witherspoon, and Josh Jobe. It should therefore […]
While the Philadelphia Flyers didn't make any significant changes ahead of the 2026 trade deadline, expect to see them much more active in the summer. There's been multiple reports the team almost moved defenceman Rasmus Ristolainen and was involved with several teams on advanced trade conversations, but unfortunately, weren't able to come to terms on a deal. That could certainly change this upcoming offseason. According to Daily Faceoff's Anthony Di Marco , here was the details on Ristolainen...
Aside from it being the Josh Minott career game, the Nets’ matchup with the Atlanta Hawks was a pretty forgettable bout. With the absence of Michael Porter Jr., Ziaire Williams, and Nolan Traore, Brooklyn was pretty much doomed from the start, especially with Atlanta on a surge to take the eighth seed of the Eastern […]
Even with Romeo Doubs arriving on a four-year, $68 million free agency deal, the New England Patriots are not done looking to improve their wide receiver position. One name that keeps getting mentioned is A.J. Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles star reportedly on the trade block. The Patriots remain interested in Brown, but the two sides […]
Andrew Painter’s start yesterday had some good and some bad to it. It’s important to remember that he’s still just in that third start of the spring and that he’s likely working on some things right now. Still, he’s getting outs and that’s what matters. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Hopefully this is the last A.J. Brown update we have for some time … NFL free agency has been largely filled with speculation about potential trade options for the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, but for now, it appears that things have stalled and won’t likely resurface until closer to June 1. Dianna Russini reported the […]
Dallas Goedert’s contract was originally set to void by the end of Tuesday, March 10 but that date was pushed back to Friday, March 13. Now the two sides have agreed to delay the deadline even further to Monday, March 16. This much according to a report from The Athletic’s Zach Berman. If you’re hoping […]
The Flyers saw both Sam Ersson and Dan Vladar used on Wednesday night and Thursday night, respectively. Ersson, who has been having an arduous season and has numbers that maybe only Edmonton’s Tristan Jarry would be envious of, wasn’t tested often but made the key stops at the key times in a 4-1 Flyers win over Washington. On Thursday, Vladar — essentially Philadelphia’s “A” starter or number one — came up huge in the shootout against Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov as Philadelphia left wi...
It’s been a busy week in the world of prospects, with faces new and old coming and going, and more players stepping up as their stretch runs ramp up. Let’s take a few moments to check in with this week’s top contributors. The News of the Week It’s been a busy week around here, to say the least. The NHL trade deadline has come and gone, and it brought some pretty major changes to the Phantoms with it. Alexis Gendron and Massimo Rizzo were traded to the Bruins, with Brett Harrison and ...
