Phillies mock draft roundup, 1.0
If you blinked, you may have missed it. That was the time flying by, quicker than any of us realized. We’re halfway through May, which means that All-Star weekend is coming up in two months. And now, thanks to MLB thinking that their presentation needs to rival that of the NFL and/or the NBA, that […]
What’s your favorite memory of Ranger Suárez with the Phillies?
The day is finally upon us. Many resigned themselves to the fact that when Ranger Suárez left in free agency over the winter, there would come a day in which he would be facing the Phillies. Suárez signing with the American League Boston Red Sox lessened that possibility, but the day has come, nevertheless. Suárez […]
Phillies News: Justin Crawford, Andrew Painter, Francisco Alvarez
Trea Turner is not the only Phillie who has struggled offensively this season, but it does feel as though because of that fact that Turner has flown under the radar. He’s slashing just .234/.283/.345 through 41 games and has seen his defense take a step back from his rebounded form in 2025. Turner went 4-5 […]
Marsh Didn’t Get a Hit: Red Sox 3 Phillies 1
After squeezing out a tight 2-1 win over the Red Sox in game one of this series, it was Boston’s turn to win on the margins. Trevor Story led the way with two fantastic plays in the 5-6 hole to prevent hits and he took Painter deep on a middle-middle sinker. Ceddanne Rafaela hit the […]
Gamethread 5/13: Phillies at Red Sox
Here are the lineups for tonight’s game in Boston, let’s discuss. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox:
Is Dylan Carlson anything the Phillies should be excited about?
On Tuesday afternoon, the Phillies had some minor league shakeups with their rosters that was akin to rearranging deckchairs. They needed some pitchers here, a few hitters there, but they snuck through a minor league signing that at least had a bit of intrigue. If the name rings a bell, it probably should. Drafted in […]
What’s your concern level with Aidan Miller?
Imagine being told in the offseason that Alec Bohm would be hitting .180 with a .527 OPS through the Phillies first 41 games. One of your first thoughts after a slew of expletives would probably have been “well at least that’s giving Aidan Miller a golden opportunity”, and you wouldn’t have been wrong! But that […]
Phillies news: Cristopher Sanchez, Dylan Carlson, Anthony Volpe
Truly, I am not looking forward to the takes that will be coming out of the woodwork about Thursday’s game. The much anticipated Jesus Luzardo-Ranger Suarez dustup is going to bring the hottest of hot takes. Not looking forward to that. At. All. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Wheels keep on rolling: Phillies 2, Red Sox 1
It’s hard to believe that Zack Wheeler was a major question mark less than a month ago. At least for now, he looked like the Zack Wheeler of old as he went 7.1 innings against the Red Sox while allowing one run on just 87 pitches in a 2-1 win. Kyle Schwarber tied the Phillies […]

Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Red Sox: Let’s talk about it.
The takes, they were hot. Let’s talk about them
It was a while back when I posted something in the Feed asking for your hot takes for the rest of the Phillies season. In the middle of a supremely cold streak is not usually the time to hope for optimism and joy, so naturally a lot of the responses were of the negative variety. […]
Opposition research: Trevor Story
The Phillies and Red Sox have a lot in common this season. After making the playoffs in 2025, both teams made offseason moves that weren’t embraced by many fans. And both got off to poor starts that resulted in an early season firing of the manager. Another thing the teams have in common: They’ve gotten […]
How Elmo saved Alec Bohm
When the final out is recorded following Game No. 162 of the 2026 MLB season, when the records are finalized and the statistical ledgers are put to bed, we will be comforted in knowing exactly what saved Alec Bohm’s year. After starting April in the most dreadful slump imaginable on the field while dealing with […]
Should Brandon Marsh start everyday for the Phillies at the moment?
It’s hard to overstate just how good Brandon Marsh has been so far this season. He was leading all of Major League Baseball in batting average with a .353 mark entering play on Monday. He’s hitting an absurd .519 (14-27) over his last seven games played and his four home runs on the year are […]

Three up, three down: week of May 4-10
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 […]
Would you give Brandon Marsh an extension?
Let’s jump straight to the question of the day: would you give Brandon Marsh a contract extension beyond this season? Is this a question based on yesterday’s performance? Perhaps, but let’s think this one through a little bit. The team’s outfield depth is near nonexistent in the minor leagues outside of maybe Dante Nori. There […]
Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Dante Nori, Rhett Lowder
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:
Thanks, Kyle Schwarber’s mom: Phillies 6, Rockies 0
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 […]
Gamethread 5/10: Phillies vs Rockies
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 […]
Other than Jhoan Duran, who is the Phillies’ best reliever?
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? […]
Phillies news: Alec Bohm, Fleer, Bobby Cox
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.

King for a day: Phillies 9, Rockies 3
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 […]
