Gamethread 5/31: Phillies at Dodgers
The Phillies will wrap up their western road trip with a Sunday afternoon game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. After falling on Friday night, the Phillies took the second game of the series thanks to Edmundo Sosa’s home run. Andrew Painter gets the start for the Phillies. The rookie righthander has pitched better of late […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 5/31/2026
We’re almost at the point where you open this page to simply see if Felix Reyes hit another home run. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Buffalo 6, Lehigh Valley 5 Liover Peguero led the way for the Ironpigs, going three for four with a double and an RBI, but shoddy middle […]
Do you see any help for the right handed hitting?
It’s been well documented already that the team does not have a large cadre of capable right handed hitting right now. Adolis Garcia is mired in the worst stretch by a Phillies outfielder it seems since 2001 Pat Burrell, J.T. Realmuto is truly starting to show his age and Alec Bohm continues digging himself out […]
Phillies news: Daniel Robert, Max Lazar, Munetaka Murakami
I’m generally ambivalent about the City Connect uniforms, but the Dodgers’ version has to be one of the worst ones out there right now. Why would Freddie Freeman have a uniform that has an “05” on it instead of just “5”? On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Eye to eye: Phillies 4, Dodgers 3
The Philadelphia Phillies (30-28) counter-punched their pennant rival Los Angeles Dodgers (37-21)] with a scrappy 4-3 road win to level the weekend series. Alec Bohm opened the scoring with a solo home run (6) off Dodgers’ starter, Roki Sasaki, to open the second inning. Jesus Luzardo pitched around traffic in the bottom of the second, […]
Gamethread 5/30: Phillies at Dodgers
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Dodgers: Let’s talk about it.
Phillies on the Pharm: 5/30/2026
Some of the team’s top prospects are looking much better of late, but the churn is beginning on the major league bench. Lehigh Valley 5, Buffalo 4 It’s starting to become a broken record of sorts, but Felix Reyes just keeps on demolishing Triple-A pitching, homering again last night in Buffalo. As the kids say, […]
What change has Don Mattingly made that has made you happiest?
There have been some subtle changes in the things Don Mattingly has done different than Rob Thomson this season. There had to be since whatever the team was doing prior to Thomson’s firing was clearly not effective any longer. One of, if not the, biggest changes has been the usage of Bryson Stott and Brandon […]
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Alec Bohm, Andrew McCutchen
I find it funny that anything you read about Justin Wrobleski said he didn’t strike anyone out this season, yet in the first inning last night, he struck out the side. The only reason for that is simple: that’s baseball. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Wroad block: Dodgers 4, Phillies 2
The Philadelphia Phillies (29-28) played their first game in Chavez Ravine since they were eliminated in the National League Divisional Series last October and fell 4-2 to the Los Angeles Dodgers (37-20) on Friday night. Four of the five hits allowed by Zack Wheeler (4-1) were solo home runs to Freddie Freeman, Max Muncy, Shohei […]
Gamethread 5/29: Phillies at Dodgers
After a sweep of the San Diego Padres, the Phillies will return to the place where their 2025 season ended as they begin a three-game series against the defending champion Dodgers in Los Angeles. Zack Wheeler gets the start for the Phillies. Wheeler has been fantastic since his return from the Injured List, and has […]
Adolis Garcia is trying to change. Should he be?
When Adolis Garcia came into camp after signing with the Phillies, the team had specific ideas on what they wanted him to work on in the hopes that he could recapture his past form. Garcia tweaked his batting stance and worked on improving his plate discipline to try and cut down on his high chase […]
Opposition research: Roki Sasaki
They don’t hand out MVP awards for the NLDS. But I believe the most valuable player in the Phillies’ playoff series against the Dodgers in 2025 was Roki Sasaki. After dominating in the Japanese Pacific League in 2024, the Phillies pursued the young pitcher. But the appeal of playing on the west coast with countryman […]
The Notes: Brad Keller’s Righty Problems and Roster Spot Stuff
Cristopher Sánchez is like the beginning of Shoresy and he declared that he would never allow a run again. In his last 44.2 innings of work, the Sanchize has left opponent offenses in despair. This sequence to Miguel Andujar was not Sánchez’s best work but I think it captures how streaks like this can work […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 5/29/2026
Listen, you’re just here to see how Gage Wood did last night, so let’s get to the good stuff. Lehigh Valley 9, Buffalo 4 Felix Reyes continued to stay hot with the Ironpigs and makes the question of why not see what he can do again at the major league level one that deserves a […]
Should the Phillies begin contract extension talks with Jhoan Duran?
Jhoan Duran has been every bit the elite closer he was advertised as since arriving in Philadelphia last year. In 40 appearances since joining the Phillies at the trade deadline last season, Duran is 27 for 30 in save opportunities with a 1.93 ERA and 0.96 WHIP. He’s off to a great start so far […]
Phillies News: Cristopher Sánchez, Bryce Harper, Salary Cap
Well, Friday is here. The Phillies are about to start a three-game set in Los Angeles. Tonight’s start time is 10:15. Tomorrow night’s is earlier…. by five minutes. Break out the coffee. Onto the links. Phillies news: Cristopher Sánchez is extraordinary. You knew that. But you probably didn’t know all of these facts about how […]
Cristopher Sanchez’ record scoreless streak rolls on
Well, he did it again. Cristopher Sánchez blanked another team, this time the San Diego Padres, for seven innings on Wednesday at Petco Park. He allowed six hits, no walks and struck out nine in the Phils’ 3-0, series-sweeping victory. It was the fifth straight start in which he did not allow a run, a […]
How Valuable is Jesús Luzardo?
Quick: name the most valuable Phillies pitcher by Wins Above Replacement. Well, that wasn’t very difficult, was it? You said Cristopher Sánchez so quick I barely had time to take a sip of my tea. That’s okay. The first question is the warm-up. Now name the second-most valuable. Did you say Jesús Luzardo? Good/bad news: […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 5/28/2026
Wednesday was the night of offense for the Phillies prospects. There were quite a few hitters to make note of on the evening, including one that might just might force his way back into the major league picture. Lehigh Valley 7, Buffalo 6 Felix Reyes just continues to hit minor league pitching. This time, he […]
What do you think of the Edmundo Sosa left field experiment so far?
You may have missed it due to the late starts this week, but Brandon Marsh injured his finger in Tuesday night’s game. Marsh sprained his finger while sliding back into first on a pickoff attempt in the first and later left the game in the fourth, with Adolis Garcia entering to replace him. In yesterday’s game […]
Phillies News: Cristopher Sánchez, Brandon Marsh, Trea Turner
Think about what Cristopher Sánchez accomplished yesterday. He broke a franchise record scoreless innings streak that had stood for 115 years. Think of all of the great pitchers the Phillies have had over that span since Grover Cleveland Alexander set the record in 1911. Robin Roberts never did it. Steve Carlton never did it. Roy […]
Move over Grover: Phillies 3, Padres 0
It may have looked like an innocent groundball to second base to end an inning, but the 79.5 MPH easy roller off of the bat of Jackson Merrill that was gloved by Bryson Stott and thrown to Bryce Harper at first will prove to be historic. That’s because it was with that scoreless fourth inning, […]
Gamethread 5/27: Phillies at Padres
Here are the lineups for the series finale in San Diego. Let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Padres:
Phillies on the Pharm: 5/27/2026
Another fun packed night down on the farm for the prospects. Here are recaps of each game. Buffalo 5, Lehigh Valley 4 This one was a thriller. Lehigh Valley was down for most of the game, yet got home runs in the eighth and ninth innings from Dylan Moore and Carter Kieboom to knot the […]
