Latest news and updates about the Phillies
The Phillies are slowly trudging to the end of a brutal April that has seen them own the worst record in baseball here on April 28th. They’re already 10.5 games back of the division entering play yesterday and seven games back in the Wild Card. They aren’t dead yet, but they need to turn things […]

When a baseball team is playing as poorly as the Phillies are, there is plenty of blame to go around. Many have fixed their gaze on the tenuous job security of Rob Thomson and there is merit to it. Thomson has made some decisions that cause one’s brow to furrow, but he alone is not […]
The Cubs had a 5-2 week, which on its face is excellent. The way it ended, with two losses to the Dodgers after sweeping the Phillies and mounting a stirring comeback Friday in Los Angeles, wasn’t great. But this team is still showing that it can compete with anyone, even with multiple bullpen injuries. Here’s […]
Baseball life is good for the Atlanta Braves at the moment. They’ve already put a gap between them and the rest of the division and the gap keeps growing between them and the Phillies and the Mets as well. The vibes are very positive and the week ahead for the Braves could be a promising […]
Good morning, baseball fans! It’s a new week of San Francisco Giants baseball, so let’s see what’s on deck. The Giants continue their recent trend of having a day off today, before they hit the road again and head for the East Coast. First up will be a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies, before […]
The Phillies are off today and that’s probably best for everyone involved. They won a game Saturday, but they’re still playing pretty badly, so maybe a day off will help them. That and the schedule, which eases up a bit with the Giants coming into town. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
A couple of weeks ago, the Atlanta Braves embarked on a 13-game run of games that were solely in the NL East. Initially, it seemed like a tough task considering that they’d be seeing the Philadelphia Phillies twice during that run. At the same time, the Braves had gotten off to an encouraging start to […]
Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss announced after today’s 6-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies that rookie starting pitcher JR Ritchie will get his second major league start on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers. Weiss also confirm that former right-handed starter Reynaldo López is heading to the bullpen to work out some mechanical issues that are […]
The Phillies snapped their ten-game losing streak on Saturday night by actually getting some late, clutch hits and prevailing in extra innings. The Braves: “I took that personally” On Sunday, the Braves reverted to their winning ways, while the Phillies were back on their B.S. Aaron Nola was rocked, the hitters looked feeble against Chris […]
Last week was a sweep for the Braves, today could lead to another series win… if the Phillies don’t carry over from yesterday and find a way to break their streak. The Braves will have to get runs on the board as early as possible, while the Phillies will have to endure in the latter […]
After actually winning a game on Saturday night, the Phillies will try to repeat the feat on Sunday afternoon in the finale of their series against the Braves. Aaron Nola gets the start for the Phillies. The veteran righty is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA this season. He’ll be opposed by Braves ace Chris Sale, […]
The Atlanta Braves are looking to extend their successful series record, but for the Philadelphia Phillies, after last week’s embarrassing sweep against them on their home turf, they’re looking to repay the favor and snap that extension. Let’s look at these rosters. The lineup for the Braves looks pretty identical to yesterday’s with a familiar […]
Brad Lidge is an archaeologist in real life. The following, however, does not take place in real life. It takes place in the year 3026, when the Phillies, and the sport they played, have been forgotten by all. All that is, except for the archaeologists who study the distant, dusty past. Among them is a […]
Well, that was annoying. The Phillies were who the Braves thought they were, and they let them off the hook. The Braves took a game to extras and lost, but it required: When you step away from it, you are encouraged and appalled. The good news is that this stretch resembles their 26-4 run in […]
Listen, I would honestly be shocked if the Phillies actually did what many of you want them to do with the managerial position. Not just with getting rid of Rob Thomson, but also in bringing aboard Alex Cora to replace him. Shocked, I say. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The streak is over. The streak is over. The Phillies actually won a baseball game. For one night, it was the opposing team making mistakes. And for one night, it was the Phillies who capitalized on them. After a Harper walk with two outs, Mike Yastrzemski tried to lay out on an Adolis Garcia line […]

For those of you who wanted change, you are far more likely to get it than at any point up until now. Depending on how things finish up this weekend in Atlanta, it’s hard to see how the 2026 season ends with the ultimate goal of a World Series parade taking place. The NL East […]
With a game 1 win in the books, the Braves maintain the top record and run differential in MLB so far this season. They will now have two chances to secure a series win over Philadelphia and the Phillies have now lost 10 straight. This is an important game for the Phillies, as their ace […]
Each day I drive to work, it’s a decent drive. 35 minutes one way doesn’t sound like much until you actually have to do it each time. During those drives, I listen to a lot of podcasts and yesterday, I caught the latest episode of “Phillies Therapy”. If you’ve listened to it, you know that […]
This really is getting ridiculous. It’s not really just that they’re losing everything right now. It’s how they’re losing the games. Unpreparedness from the manager and pitching coach last night when Michael Harris stepped to the plate. Mental errors by Trea Turner. A poor at bat by Bryce Harper in the ninth inning. There is […]
It’s a big night for the Braves partnerships team tonight… Apple TV has the broadcast, and Star Wars Night at the ballpark. I wish I could muster even a little bit of a reference for you, dear readers of Battery Power, but this is one of my cultural blind spots. And at this point, I’m […]
When the team promoted Felix Reyes, it was almost a “let’s see what happens” moment since the offense has been so bad. Now, they’re going to try something with the bullpen. Sure, why not? McFarlane was shoving in Reading, on top of having some nice outings during spring training, so the logic to bring him […]
Braves and Phillies again. Grant Holmes vs. Andrew Painter again. Not on BravesVision again. So here I am, reheating my own nachos. In the time we’ve been apart, the Braves took three out of four against the very pesky Nats to conclude a 6-1 road trip. The boys will return home to Cobb County with […]
