Latest news and updates about the Phillies
Back at .500, once again. Is this our new barometer for now? Is this the thing the Phillies need to keep accomplishing to make this season feel better? On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Emmet Sheehan is the starter to open this homestand that’ll see the Dodgers host the Rockies and Phillies.—Kiké Hernández makes his 2026 season debut. Monday’s game info
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Padres: Let’s talk about it.
Bryce Harper is very, very good at hitting a baseball. His technique when he brushes his teeth, however, is... just unacceptable.
San Diego Padres outfielder Nick Castellanos offered his take on his former team, the Philadelphia Phillies, replacing manager Rob Thomson with Don Mattingly this season after a rough start.
The Philadelphia Phillies’ righthanded hitters have been a massive disappointment this season. Of their regular players who hit from the right side, Trea Turner has the highest OPS at .619. Adolis Garcia, signed to be the regular right fielder is batting .203 with four home runs. Despite that weak production, Nick Castellanos has done little […]
This was not a good week. There were a lot of lost opportunities out on the field against the Ohio teams, series that frankly should have been won. There is also the time coming for a few conversations that need to be had in the front office. Three up Bryson Stott – This was a […]
We’re starting a new feature here at The Good Phight, highlighting the previous day’s games for the Phillies minor league affiliates. We’ll just give quick recaps of each game, highlighting a few of the good (and a few of the bad). Scranton 5, Lehigh Valley 4 The Ironpigs dropped Sunday’s game to Scranton, splitting their […]
The Phillies are headed out west this week to take on the Padres and the Dodgers. They aren’t exactly playing the greatest baseball right now at the plate, so playing two teams as good as them isn’t promising. However, the Phillies have at times risen to their competition on the west coast, particularly when playing […]
That’s a big side of offensive ineptitude the Phillies delivered this weekend. Now, luckily, they get to move out west and play two teams playing good baseball, including a juggernaut. Cool. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: The Phillies faced a lefthanded starting pitcher and lost the game. On Sunday afternoon, the Phillies faced a solid lefty in the Guardians’ Parker Messick and their season-long struggles against southpaws continued. They mustered just six hits and one run on the day, and as a result, […]
The Phillies and Guardians will wrap up their three game series on Sunday….or at least they will if the rain gives them a window to play. (Considering the Guardians won’t be back to Philadelphia this season, they’ll do their best to fit it in.) The teams split the first two games of the series, each […]
They’ve been trying to do it for years with players that have been posted from Japan. Failed pursuits of Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki have resulted in the Phillies ramping up their attempts to bring someone from one of Japan, Korea or some other international baseball league to the team. This weekend, they were successful. […]
I’d be surprised if the team does not get today’s game in with the rain being a bit more sporadic compared to yesterday. They’ll wait forever, of course, to try and get it started if they have to, but it should get played eventually. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
On Saturday, news broke of Taijuan Walker signing with the Angels on a minor league deal. I’ve always felt the hate directed at Walker was a bit over the top. Sure, he wasn’t good, but he did have some stretches where he was an effective pitcher for the team. His time here was clearly up […]
San Diego Padres catcher Rodolfo Durán signed with the Friars in January of 2025 as a minor league free agent after playing in the Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals organizations after signing with the Phillies in 2014. An international free agent signing at the age of 16 out of Santo Domingo, […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Guardians: Let’s talk about it.
There is almost no chance that today or Sunday’s games get played, right? The forecast for these games is beyond poor, so methinks this gets made up as a doubleheader on some random August day. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The weekend Memorial Day series is going to be filled with weather issues. It’s projected to rain all day tomorrow, which could force a doubleheader for Sunday before they play a day game in San Diego on Monday. They did not get batting practice in today because of rain and showers filled through as Cristopher […]

There was a moment this past offseason when it seemed like the Phillies were considering a reunion with Rhys Hoskins. There was really nothing to the rumors, and it basically seemed to come about because WIP reporter Devan Kaney conflated two different discussions to make it seem like the Phillies were seriously thinking about signing […]
The 10-game losing streak and then 16-6 run under Don Mattingly have made the first 50 games of this season a roller coaster ride. After all of it, they’re 25-25 but might be heading in the right direction. The first 50 games are the first benchmark for what to make of a team in an […]
It was the type of start we’ve come to expect from Aaron Nola. First inning, we see vintage Nola. Pinpoint command. Two strikeouts. A 1-2-3 opener. The type of beginning that makes you remember why the Phillies signed the veteran right-hander to a seven-year, $172 million contract before the start of the 2024 season. Then, […]
Yesterday’s loss to the Reds featured a rather lackluster performance from the Phillies bullpen. Tim Mayza, Orion Kerkering, Brad Keller, and José Alvarado combined to allow 5 runs in 4 innings and doom the Phillies’ chances of mounting a comeback. So naturally, let’s take this off day as a chance to re-assess the trust level […]
The Phillies finally had their streak of six straight series wins snapped yesterday with their loss in the rubber match with the Reds. Their turnaround since Don Mattingly took over as manager has been impressive, but they were bound to run into a dud of a series at some point. The important part will be […]
