Latest news and updates about the Phillies
Somewhere, at some point, Bob Uecker would have been proud of that game yesterday. Except for that whole getting a second hit thing in the ninth inning. Thanks, Alec, for ruining my joke for today. And, you know, the rest of the team for making it a ballgame. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB […]
The Texas Rangers scored five runs while the Philadelphia Phillies scored four runs in ten innings. Never a doubt, right? Ha ha ha… Corey Seager homered off Aaron Nola. So too did Jake Burger. That was a few hours ago. Feels like weeks. Then Rangers got a nice spot start from the other other Jacob, […]
After eight innings of struggling to muster consistent at-bats against a variety of Texas Rangers pitchers, they woke up in the ninth because the final three outs are always the hardest ones to get. With a three-nothing Rangers lead heading into the ninth, the Phillies had Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and Alec Bohm due up […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Rangers: Let’s talk about it.
Texas Rangers lineup for March 28, 2026 against the Philadelphia Phillies: starting pitchers are Jacob Latz for the Rangers and Aaron Nola for the Phillies. The Rangers look to win their first game of the year and get to a .500 record on a chilly day in Philadelphia this afternoon. Jacob Latz is filling in […]
The Phillies opened the season with three pitchers on the injured list – Zack Wheeler, Orion Kerkering and Max Lazar. We kind of have an idea that at least Wheeler and Kerkering are going to be back sooner rather than later since they have already begun rehab assignments in Lehigh Valley. Lazar’s status is a […]
Now that we have baseball back today, we have to talk about this whole “day off after a game” Opening Day thing. I get it. MLB is scared of opening rainouts and wants a buffer day just in case. However, I am impatient and I want games all the time. Doubleheaders even! Maybe this will […]
A dynamic start from their ace. Two stars clubbing huge home runs. A rookie making a splashy debut. Some drama late, exterminated by their closer. Yep, 2026 Opening Day had pretty much everything you wanted to see from the Philadelphia Phillies. On a gorgeous spring day at Citizens Bank Park, a lot of things went […]
The first full day of the 2026 MLB season is in the books, and it couldn’t have gone much better for the Phillies. They won 5-3, got big home runs from Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm, got an ace like performance from Cristopher Sánchez, saw Justin Crawford collect two hits, and saw Jhoan Duran come […]
Phillies 5, Rangers 3
Opening Day is over. It was a joyous occasion, with only a brief bullpen blip to mar the otherwise unblemished affair. Now, an off day. We’ll have to do with watching non-Phillies clubs. But Phillies baseball, proper baseball, will return tomorrow. Onto the links. Phillies news: Alec Bohm is suing his parents over alleged mismanagement […]
Thursday’s Opening Day game against the Texas Rangers had everything a Phillies fan could want: A Schwarbomb, an impressive debut from a rookie, filthy pitching from Cristopher Sanchez, and a way-too-interesting ninth inning. Put it all together, and the Phillies improved to 1-0 on the season with a 5-3 win. After Sanchez worked around two […]
The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Philadelphia Phillies scored five runs. The last time the Rangers began a season against the Phillies, they won the World Series. That’s certainly a positive omen as we begin this 2026 season journey. Those kinds of vibes didn’t last very long, however, as the Rangers whiffed on […]

It’s opening day. It’s awesome. I hate Netflix. Lineup for the Phillies: For the Rangers: Prediction: Justin Crawford lays down a bunt hit in the 5th inning.
Texas rangers lineup for Opening Day, March 26, 2026 against the Philadelphia Phillies: starting pitchers are Nathan Eovaldi for the Rangers and Cristopher Sanchez for the Phillies. It is Opening Day, y’all. Let’s do this. The lineup: Nimmo — RF Langford — CF Seager — SS Burger — 1B McCutchen — DH Jung — 3B […]
Usually, this question of the day part is where we ask a niche question about the team. Maybe it’s about someone’s approach at the plate, their recent work at that craft, or what you think about a player’s recent play. Today is simple. It being the Phillies’ home opener (and season opener), we’re looking for […]
Last year’s National League East race ended with the Phillies (96-66) winning their second consecutive division crown, while the Mets (83-79) and Braves (76-86) both underperformed expectations and missed the playoffs entirely. The Marlins (79-83), meanwhile, came close to .500 as they showed promise and play a key role in ending the Mets’ postseason dreams […]
We’ve finally made it to Opening Day everyone. No, we’re not counting whatever happened on Netflix last night. Sit back and get ready for a full slate of games today and for baseball to be on your television every day (except the All-Star break) until early November. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:

I don’t know if you’ve been down to Clearwater lately, but the programs smell weird. It’s like a pulpy garbage smell that is very distinct, and it’s continued since at least 2022 when I smelled it the first time. It must have something to do with the printing process, which is a guess I am […]
Opening Day is tonight. Kind of. Well, the Yankees and Giants play tonight, on Netflix, so I guess it’s Opening Night. And there will be stars on the broadcast. From other sports. Not baseball, mind you. There will be wrestling people. On Netflix. I hate MLB sometimes. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Cristopher Sanchez will be a member of the Phillies rotation until 2032. Jesus Luzardo is at least under team control until 2032. Aaron Nola will be in Philadelphia until 2030. Zack Wheeler is only under contract for two more seasons including this one. Andrew Painter is under control for six years. The Phillies believe in […]
Bryson Stott had himself a productive spring this year. The Phillies second baseman hit .366 with a 1.072 OPS across 16 Grapefruit League appearances. Spring training stats are not a surefire precursor to a successful season, but in this particular case, Stott’s success continues a trend of improved hitting dating back to last season. Stott […]
