Small victories, large defeats.
The World Series is now over, we have a champion….and now we are done. The offseason will officially begin in five days and a flurry of moves will definitely not happen. We all know that the offseason moves at a glacial pace and with the uncertainty that surrounds game thanks to the CBA negotiations that […]
It’s the best night of the baseball calendar. Game 7 of the World Series, where anything can happen. Let’s talk about it.
The other day, we asked you a question about the team’s payroll. It’s a target that is constantly shifting for unknown reasons, but Dave Dombrowski has gone on record as saying he gave something to John Middleton and it was approved. What that number was, we won’t know, but here is what you think that […]
The Blue Jays had multiple chances to take their first World Series since 1993 last night, but could not get the job done. Addison Barger will be the face of it thanks to his game ending baserunning blunder, but they had a few chances to put up runs and didn’t. Now, they get Shohei Ohtani […]
Addison Barger, wyd baby? On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The Phillies and Halloween: A tradition like no other? Actually, there’s not really much history for the Phillies on Halloween. It used to be that the baseball season was well wrapped up by the time the 31st came around. But these days, with the addition of extra playoff rounds, the World Series now regularly stretches […]
A weirdo with the perfect personality for the city of Philadelphia, Brandon Marsh is beloved by all demographics of Phillies fans. Whether he’s barking in people’s faces, sharing his infectious laugh, or hyping up his teammates, there’s no shortage of appreciation for his antics. More than anything, Brandon Marsh is a quality teammate — something […]
The Phillies have a pivotal offseason ahead, as they try to make some changes and tweaks to a roster that won 96 games but stalled out in the NLDS. Much of the focus of discussion to this point has been on the lineup, and rightly so, as it has arguably been the biggest culprit for […]
It’s Halloween! And what’s better than a Halloween horror movie? Tonight, we’ll see a real terror-inducer in Toronto— though whether it’s the Dodgers or the Jays being plunged into the depths of fear is yet to be seen. Onto the links. Phillies news MLB news
Rafael Marchán tends to fly under the radar. He’s not a three-time All-Star like J.T. Realmuto, and he’s not a beloved master of locker room ceremonies like Garrett Stubbs. He stepped into a larger role this year for the Phillies, but still occupied only a small part of the Phillies faithful’s collective consciousness. Those of […]
A few weeks ago, we detailed the case for the Phillies to pursue Nippon Professional Baseball star Munetaka Murakami. The lefty slugger is sure to be the biggest name looking to make the jump from Japan to the Major Leagues, but he won’t be the only Japanese star to be posted this winter. In the […]
I have to say, it’s been fun watching the Sixers and Flyers so far this season. Sure, all of us here are just staring into the wintry void waiting for baseball to come back, but the winter sports teams at least being entertaining helps pass the time, especially on an Eagles bye week. Now if […]
The Blue Jays pulled the track switch lever on the Dodgers-Ohtani hype train last night and guaranteed themselves and their fans at least one more home game in this Series, which will be an elimination game either way you slice it. Can the Jays do the improbable tonight against Blake Snell in enemy territory to […]

Optioned to AAA Lehigh Valley at the trade deadline to make room for Harrison Bader on the 26-man roster, Johan Rojas hasn’t been seen in Philadelphia in months. It’s 2025 stats: 172 PA, .224/.280/.289, 1 HR, 18 RBI, 23.2 K%, 7.6 BB%, 58 wRC+, 0.4 fWAR What went right: This one is a double edged […]
“People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.” So said Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby. It’s not quite winter yet, and baseball’s not quite over, but the weather’s getting colder and our remaining time with our […]
The World Series lives on at least one more day (I am writing this before the game even starts). Since Jason didn’t ask it yesterday, did anyone here watch the entire 18 inning game Monday night? On to the links: Phillies News MLB News
After their record-setting, instantly-ensconced in baseball lore marathon Game 3 that took place last night, the Dodgers and Blue Jays are right back to it tonight for Game 4. Shohei Ohtani is poised to embellish his legend by pitching in a World Series, the first two-way player to do so since Babe Ruth in Game […]
There’s a reason Dave Dombrowski said what he said. When Dombrowski spoke to reporters last week following another disappointing, early-round playoff defeat by the Phillies and questioned whether Bryce Harper would be able to return to the previous “elite” level of play he enjoyed during his first six seasons in Philadelphia, it wasn’t done out […]
Throughout the 2025 season, many Phillies fans mourned the absence of reliever Jeff Hoffman, who departed to the Blue Jays as a free agent. But the Phillies didn’t go Hoffmanless in 2025, as they (very briefly) had reliever Nolan Hoffman on the roster. If this name isn’t ringing a bell, that’s not surprising, as Hoffman […]
I value sleep highly. Having multiple small children that are involved in travel sports and other competitions, my wife and I are on the go constantly. If we’re not going to one practice or game, we’re going to another. It means rest is valued quite a bit. So when I sit down to watch a […]
Lots happening in baseball!!! Phillies News: MLB News:
The World Series shifts to Los Angeles and tonight, someone will have a big advantage. Let’s talk about it.
Alright, this is getting a little out of hand. Let’s acknowledge the biggest elephant in the room, which were the comments made by Dave Dombrowski about Bryce Harper at his end of season press conference. The comments “hurt” Harper. Those comments that were made were as follows: “Of course, he’s still a quality player,” Dombrowski […]
The team always knew that Garrett Stubbs would be with the Phillies in some capacity. His minor league option that he had available, couple with the one that Rafael Marchan did not, meant that he was going to the minor leagues for the season outside of a possible injury. But was there a higher purpose […]
