Latest news and updates about the Phillies
Despite their best efforts — and the effort was there on Sunday by Payton Tolle and others — the Red Sox lost another series. This time to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Sox briefly rose to 4th place in the AL East before the Sox dropped the series, the Orioles won, and Boston returned to […]

This might be the easiest top three we have had in a while. Guess that is what happens when the team is playing good baseball – you have players performing well! Three up Bryce Harper – I usually don’t mess around with leaderboards on the bigger numbers until Memorial Day. I’ll use them for searching […]
Is Cristopher Sanchez at the beginning of a Cy Young run? He’s got his ERA down to 2.11 and has looked dominant the past two outings. There’s this guy in Los Angeles is having an arguably better season, but Sanchez has put himself back into the conversation. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Listen, you’re probably reading this because you were out today doing things with your mom, wife, grandmother, someone. And that’s fine. It’s darn near impossible to watch every single baseball game. So today, just know this: if you missed the baseball game, thank the moms of Cristopher Sanchez and Kyle Schwarber for giving them to […]
It was a Mother’s Day to forget in Philadelphia, as the Colorado Rockies were blanked by the Phillies 6-0. They managed six hits, but they also struck out 10 times and did not walk once. Sugano struggled early, but settled in later Tomoyuki Sugano 菅野 智之 struggled out of the gate, striking out Trea Turner […]
The Colorado Rockies had a rough week last week. Heck, it’s been a rough month of May so far. The Rockies have won just two games. However, now is a good a time as any to turn things around, right? After an extra-innings brawl on Friday, the Rockies dropped game two against the Philadelphia Phillies […]
The Phillies will attempt to celebrate Mother’s Day by earning a series victory over the Colorado Rockies. On the mound will be Cristopher Sanchez, coming off a spectacular start where he delivered eight shutout innings. He’ll be opposed by righthander Tomoyuki Sugano. The Japanese import has a 3.41 ERA in his second MLB season. Game […]
Last night, the Phillies’ bullpen held the Rockies without a baserunner over 4 1/3 innings. Colorado isn’t exactly a titan of offensive production, but this season, they’ve also been no slouch. Holding them down like that is still rather impressive. It got me thinking: other Jhoan Duran, who is this team’s best reliever this season? […]
It seems as though that Alec Bohm is the Phillies topic of the weekend right now. Most of the articles being written about them are centered on the struggling third baseman and the team’s plans with him. At least they are recognizing that there is a problem. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Alec Bohm has been under fire lately and justifiably so. He’s been one of the worst hitters in the game this year and came under question, even in these here pages, about his viability as a regular in the lineup. Don Mattingly sat him down for two days to give him a reset, but openly […]
Well, that was quite the way to open the series. The Colorado Rockies survived another blown lead to manage an exciting extra-inning win against the Philadelphia Phillies last night. Colorado carries a two-game winning streak into the matchup, as the teams meet for the second time this weekend and the fifth time already in this […]
Probably not the question to be asking after two consecutive losses, but it’s fair. The Phillies are 17-21, yet still maintain decent enough playoff odds by FanGraphs and Baseball Reference. They have played better baseball of late, which has at least made them more watchable. So, how are we feeling about their playoff chances? The […]
Maybe there is something about Jesus Luzardo and these midseason starts with the Phillies. He just seems to have troubles with these starts and this would be another one. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
For seven innings, the Rockies looked like they had finally found the easy version of a win. Then the game lost its mind. Colorado built a 6-0 lead, gave it all back in one disastrous inning, survived repeated late showdowns with Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, and still found a way to beat the Philadelphia […]
A new series means a fresh start. After losing two out of three against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Athletics began a three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles on Tupac bobblehead night at Camden Yards. The A’s ruined the Orioles’ Tupac celebration, winning the first game of the series 4-3, thanks to timely hitting, arguably Jacob […]
The Philadelphia Phillies (17-22) overcame a six-run deficit to come all the way back to take their series opener against the visiting Colorado Rockies (16-23) to extra innings, only to let it slip away for a 9-7 defeat. Jesus Luzardo dug a huge hole with a nightmare fourth inning, allowing five runs on five hits […]
Yesterday, the Athletics put together one of their most impressive performances of the season to salvage the final game of the team’s three-game series at the Philadelphia Phillies. The A’s hit four two-run home runs, providing more than enough run support for starting pitcher J.T. Ginn, who allowed just one run on four hits over eight […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Rockies: Let’s talk about it.
The first inning of Andrew Painter’s start against the Athletics was a painful one. The first four batters all reached base safely and all scored thanks to home runs by Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker. The pitch to Langeliers was a bad one, one that got appropriately punished, but the home run to Rooker wasn’t […]
Happy Friday A’s fans! The team came away with a series-salvaging win yesterday in the finale against the Phillies. The Green & Gold got their teeth knocked in on Tuesday, dropped a heart breaker on Wednesday, and finally broke out the bats in a blowout victory on Thursday. Now the team is off to Baltimore […]
This whole stretch has been such a whirlwind, there has been no time really spent on narratives. Beginning April 17, the Cubs played 13 games in 13 days. That included a trip to Los Angeles and San Diego in there as well as series again the Mets and Phillies, both with playoff aspirations. They aced […]
Orion Kerkering was probably the biggest story from the end of the 2025 season. His gaffe that sealed the Phillies’ elimination at the hands of the Dodgers in the NLDS loomed like a specter over the entire offseason. But as we sit in May 2026, Kerkering has been in the background amid the team’s early […]
The Athletics finished off the three game series in a big way with the Philadelphia Phillies this afternoon before packing up to head to Baltimore to finish up this road trip. Now that’s the kind of first inning we were hoping for. A walk, a bomb, a walk, another bomb and before the Philly fans […]
