Phillies news: Brandon Marsh, Brad Keller, Jhoan Duran
It was a good night for the Phillies with Jesus Luzardo providing another solid road start and fireworks not only happening in the sky, but also off the bat of J.T. Realmuto. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Barbecue sauce: Phillies 6, Royals 1
Jesus Luzardo continued his good run of form with an Independence Day gem as the Philadelphia Phillies (50-39) cruised to a 6-1 victory in their series opener against the Kansas City Royals (35-54). Luzardo retired the first eight batters of the game, which included striking out the side in the second inning, before allowing an […]
Phillies have five All-Stars for the National League
The 2026 All-Star Game is in Philadelphia. You know this. What you don’t know is what players will be representing the Phillies. Now, we know. As for the subs, the Phillies will have two position players as reserves For the pitchers:
Gamethread 7/4: Phillies at Royals
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Royals. Let’s talks about it.
The rebuild appears to have stalled: Phillies vs. Royals series preview
After another World Cup-induced Friday off-day, the Phillies will take on the Kansas City Royals in a rare Saturday to Monday series. The Phillies and Royals have some history together, as they squared off in the 1980 World Series. (The Phillies won.) It seems unlikely that there will be a rematch in the 2026 World […]
3 Things to Watch for Prior to the Trade Deadline
Even with the MLB trade deadline pushed back to August 3 this year, July still represents the time of year when everyone talks about trades. The Phillies’ 40-20 stretch under interim manager Don Mattingly has catapulted them into buying territory as a team with World Series aspirations. Their expectations for playing deep into October are […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/4/2026
The kids are celebrating Independence Day, so let’s see how they did last night. Rochester 11, Lehigh Valley 5 So yeah, the Phillies are in trouble if someone in the rotation gets hurt, aren’t they? Kolby Allard allowed seven runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings for the IronPigs, dooming their game from the […]
What baseball related thing will you do on the 4th of July?
Happy Independence Day, where this year, the 250th anniversary of our independence as a nation, there is a little extra celebration in our country. Baseball is still America’s pasttime, even if football has passed it in terms of popularity. The majority of little kids still play T-ball first when they’re getting into team sports as […]
Phillies news: Zack Wheeler, bullpen, Carlos Rodon
The rare Friday off day couldn’t have come at a better time for the Phillies, what with their bullpen taxed quite a bit this week. They got a reinforcement to help with things, but what they really need is a healthy Brad Keller to come back and be closer to his 2025 form than what […]
The BreakingT 4th of July sale ends tomorrow
BreakingT is having a big sale to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence and they have a pretty large selection of Phillies gear. Click here to get to all of the sweet Phillies merch and maybe save a few bucks along the way. Enter the code 4thFREE to get a fourth shirt free on […]
Give Duran his money!
It was an interesting poll this week, me asking you which player should get a contract extension first were the Phillies to offer someone one. Here are the results: That’s about as close to a 50/50 split as you can get. If we’re focusing in on Jhoan Duran, I see why the team would want […]
Phillies All-Star One and Dones: The 1980s Part 2
In honor of the Philadelphia Phillies playing host to the 2026 Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park, we here at The Good Phight are launching a yearlong series that focuses on the history of the Phillies and the All-Star Game. Check back regularly for posts about the Phillies participation (or lack thereof) in […]
The Founding Phathers
On a mid-September day in 1787, the residents of Philadelphia stood outside Independence Hall (or rather, what would someday be called Independence Hall), with bated breath. Inside, an assembly of the nation’s finest statesmen were hard at work crafting an institution that would shape not only the future of their young nation, but the world. […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/3/2026
A solid night for the Phillies’ affiliates with three of the top four recording victories, with Lehigh Valley winning twice. There was a lot of offense on a hot night, with Lehigh Valley and Reading combining for 39 runs over three games. Lehigh Valley 18, Rochester 3 Lehigh Valley 11, Rochester 9 The IronPigs earned […]
What do you think of Alan Rangel so far?
Alan Rangel has been the first one tasked with filling Andrew Painter’s spot in the Phillies rotation. So far, Rangel has appeared in three games, and Tim Mayza was utilized as an opener in two of them. Rangel has fared relatively well in his limited action, although the Phillies are 0-3 in those games. He […]
Phillies News: Zack Wheeler, Bryce Harper, the Defense
I don’t have a clever heat-related pun to use here. Did you know that the home run rate rises as the temperature does? You did? Well, that’s all I had. Onto the links. Phillies news Zack Wheeler was not happy that Don Mattingly pulled him in the fifth inning of his last start. The skipper […]
Been down, isn’t it a pity: Pirates 6, Phillies 1
The temperature was hot. The Phillies’ bats were not. Throw in some more shaky work by the Phillies’ bullpen and you have a 6-1 loss to the Pirates that most in attendance probably wish they had skipped. A day after pummeling Pirates ace Paul Skenes, the Phillies were facing Jared Jones who entered the game […]
2026 Phillies MLB Draft Preview: Caden Sorrell, OF
Just as I was trying to figure out who to write up next, Baseball America popped out their 5th mock draft, this time with a new name as the Phillies pick. It doesn’t sound like there’s sourcing for this or actual rumors of Phillies interest so much as there is “It’s the 36th pick. Who […]

Phillies on the Pharm: 7/2/2026
It was a watery day for the Phillies affiliates, with the IronPigs encountering rain and the Threshers meeting the Mighty Mussels in a battle combining marine biology and baseball. Lehigh Valley at Rochester, suspended in Top 5th The IronPigs lead 2-0 on the strength of two homers from Otto Kemp and Paul McIntosh, plus four […]
What’s the hottest baseball game you’ve ever been to?
If you are heading down to the Phillies game this afternoon, you are braver than most. The weather forecast is something akin to the surface of the sun, as the temperature is expected to reach into the triple digits with feels like temperatures surpassing 110 degrees. For all of you brave souls acknowledging that and […]
Phillies News: Bryce Harper, Gage Wood, Trade Deadline
I think it’s safe to say that the Phillies have Paul Skenes’ number this season. They roughed him up for the second time this season after teeing off on him in Pittsburgh back in the end of May. Take a gander at this stat from friend of the site Paul Boye: That’s what we like […]
Peachy Skenes: Phillies 10, Pirates 6
What were you expecting? I was expecting a pitchers’ duel, and so were you, probably. Paul Skenes vs. Zack Wheeler, a heavyweight bout. I had a whole plan for this recap: take each inning like a round of a prize fight, load it up with boxing references. You can see the beginnings of that below. […]

Phillies have two in the Future Game
The Futures Game is a chance for people to see how the prospects they read so much about perform on the field. The game is played during All-Star Week, inexplicably buried on a Sunday prior to the draft occurring. This year, the Phillies have two representatives this year in Gage Wood and Wei-Hui Pan. Wood […]
