Latest news and updates about the Phillies
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’ 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 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 […]
Today is the day: Baseball is back in Denver. Despite losing 119 games last season, when the Home Opener comes to the Mile High City, hope springs eternal. After starting the season on a six-game road trip in Miami and Toronto, the Rockies (2-4) are hosting the Philadelphia Phillies (3-3) today at 2:10 p.m. As […]
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 […]
Tomorrow, the Colorado Rockies will host the Philadelphia Phillies for their Mile-High Home Opener, and you know that that means: New food items have been added to the menu, and now dining choices are available at Coors Field. Because we here at Purple Row are committed to providing you with the latest news (and the […]
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 […]
In honor of the Philadelphia Phillies playing host to the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, we here at The Good Phight are launching a yearlong series that focuses on the history of the Phillies and the All-Star Game. Check back regularly for posts about the Phillies participation (or lack thereof) in […]
With today officially marking the one-week mark of the Phillies season, it also means that we have reached the conclusion of the first week of Justin Crawford’s major league career. And what a week it was. Crawford has stepped right in and provided a spark, capped off by his walk-off single in extras on Wednesday. […]
What a great couple of days for the Phillies rookies. First, Andrew Painter dazzled in his first start and stopped a three-game losing streak, and then less than 24 hours later, Justin Crawford collected his first walk-off hit and RBI in the tenth inning to cap off a memorable comeback. There will surely be growing […]
The Washington Nationals suffered their first truly heartbreaking loss of the season. They had a 5-1 lead in the 7th inning, but could not finish off the Phillies. The veteran laden Phillies took advantage of the young Nats issuing walks and making mistakes in the field. Blake Butera’s bunch fought, but they could not finish. […]
Recently, fellow PSA writer Jeff Middleton wrote an appealing article covering the Hope-O-Meter poll that The Athletic conducted and how it showed a particularly pessimistic outlook regarding the Yankees in 2026—check that out over here. It sort of goes without saying that each outlook is assessed while keeping the expectations for that specific team in […]
After the Nats dominated in game one, the Phillies pulled out a close one in game two. Now it is time for a rubber match in Philly. Both teams will have their aces on the mound, so this should be a good one. The Nats are looking for their second straight series win to open […]
Here are the lineups for the series finale against Washington, with a chance to win the series. Cristopher Sanchez looks for his second win of the season, while the Nats’ Cade Cavalli looks for his first. For the Phillies: For the Nationals:
For all the talk of Dombrowski running the team back, there are a few significant players and faces who made up the 2022-25 run, now gone. Ranger Suárez signed a five-year deal with Boston, Nick Castellanos is trying to prove himself in San Diego, and Matt Strahm returned to the city that started his career […]
Now THAT is how you debut. It’s a rather nice feeling that both of the players that the Phillies are entrusting with important roles this year – Justin Crawford and Andrew Painter – got off to good starts in their first game rather than the duds that could have happened. We’d have all been fine […]
Andrew Painter’s Phillies debut may have come a few years later than originally anticipated, but he made sure it was worth the wait. The 22-year-old right hander tallied 8 strikeouts through 5.1 innings while being charged with one run on four hits and a walk. Painter flashed an impressive arsenal of pitches and poise beyond […]
The Nationals showed all of the heart and desire, but just did not do enough offensively to get over the line in Philly. While the Nats lost 3-2 tonight, they played well and hung in there despite not having a great offensive performance. It went right down to the wire with James Wood’s line drive […]
After a comprehensive 13-2 beatdown of the Phillies last night, the Nats are looking for more in game two of the series. The Nats are red hot and the Phillies are looking to find a foothold in this new season, so this should be a fun matchup. We will also see a couple new Phillies. […]
The Phillies lost their third straight game on Monday night, and each loss has seemed to get progressively uglier. They’ll try to turn that around on Tuesday behind rookie starter Andrew Painter making his major league debut. The Nationals will counter with a young pitcher of their own in second year lefty P.J. Poulin. Game […]
It’s hard to find optimism right now with the Phillies. They’ve largely stunk something fierce during these four games they have played so far, so looking for any kind of good can be a challenge. However, needles, haystacks, yada yada yada. But let’s try together. Let’s look for some of those rainbows in the clouds […]
It’s really difficult to make any concrete assertions about a baseball team after only four games. Sure, these games make the term “lethargic” look positively energetic, but even in the most negative point of view, there isn’t really much we can tell about this team yet. The only thing these games have done is reinforced […]
Tonight’s Phillies game will feature one of the most anticipated MLB debuts in recent memory, at least for Philadelphia baseball fans. Top pitching prospect Andrew Painter will finally make his long awaited MLB debut, nearly three years after it was originally anticipated thanks to a torn UCL and Tommy John surgery. The Phillies went into […]

It was a beatdown at Citizens Bank Park, but for the first time in a while, the Nats were the ones delivering the beating. They destroyed the Phillies in a 13-2 blowout. The good guys had 17 hits and had the Phillies by the neck from the jump. It has been a while since the […]
