Gamethread 6/14: Phillies at Brewers
The Phillies got shut down by the Brewers’ ace on Friday night. On Sunday, Cristopher Sanchez will attempt to return the favor as the Phillies aim to win their second straight game against the Brewers. The Brewers will counter with Kyle Harrison. The Phillies have had troubles with lefthanded starters this season, and Harrison has […]
Brandon Marsh Takes Change to Heart
So, I was going to open this up with a play on the song You Gotta Have Heart, from the classic musical Damn Yankees. But I did that for an article before. And I’m fresh out of heart puns. Something about those chalky candy hearts that nobody ever eats? Something about cardiology? Maybe a bit […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/14/2026
Let’s get into it! Scranton 4, Lehigh Valley 3 I know that players don’t get happy when other players get hurt. That would be the definition of being a bad teammate. However, the injury to Adolis Garcia does potentially open a door for others and while Gabriel Rincones, Jr. gets the first crack at the […]
How’s the trust level in the bullpen now?
Last night was not a fun night to watch a bullpen. While many might have been confident the Phillies would win, it was done through fingers in front of their eyes and/or white knuckled gripping of the remote. So, how does everyone feel about that bullpen nowJose Alvarado had yet another shaky outing while Brad […]
Phillies news: Jhoan Duran, offense, Jose Ramirez
It would be rather nice to steal a series in Milwaukee, wouldn’t it? On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Balancing act: Phillies 9, Brewers 8
A night after being stuck with the pointy end of one of the finest pitching performances in modern memory, the Philadelphia Phillies (38-32) recorded a season-high 17 hits and held on for dear life in a 9-8 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers (42-26) on Saturday night. The Phillies opened the scoring against Brewers’ lefty, Shane […]
Don Mattingly? A-ok in your book
This week, we asked you the question about what kind of grade you would give Don Mattingly on the job he’s done this season. You answered. It’s pretty funny that both times the team has made a managerial change in the early part of the season, the team has gone on a run and gotten […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/13/2026
The big-league Phillies had a rough night of it on Friday. Things were a little better in the minors, as thanks to the AAA squad playing two games, the affiliates were able to compile a 3-2 record for the night. Lehigh Valley 7, Scranton-Wilkes Barre 4 Lehigh Valley 6, Scranton-Wilkes Barre 3 Because play was […]
Would you rather a platoon or a trade in right field?
The news that the team got on Adolis Garcia was probably the worst news they could get. Even with the recent uptick in Garcia’s hitting, right field was still something of a weakness for the team. He wasn’t hitting much, but his defense was an outright asset to have. Not having him available for (likely) […]
Phillies news: Gabriel Rincones, Adolis Garcia, Tarik Skubal
Imagine being Gabriel Rincones, Jr. You’re told that you’re headed to Milwaukee as a injury replacement for Adolis Garcia, that you’ll make your major league debut in the first game you are with the team. Then you see the starting pitcher that will be on the mound for the Brewers. On to the links. Phillies […]
Mizery Bizness: Brewers 6, Phillies 0
Jacob Misiorowski pitched the game of his life, allowing one hit and facing the minimum in his first career complete game shutout as the Milwaukee Brewers (42-25) embarrassed the Philadelphia Phillies (37-32) to the tune of a 6-0 drubbing in the opening game of the weekend series at American Family Field. Misiorowski faced 27 hitters, […]
Gamethread 6/12: Phillies at Brewers
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Brewers: Let’s talk about it
Adolis García to the 60 Day Injured List, Gabriel Rincones Jr. Called Up
The Phillies announced Adolis García would hit the 60-day injured list with a right latissimus dorsi tear and that Gabriel Rincones Jr. would be called up from AAA. Adolis García has not panned out as a one-year deal, hitting just .195 with a .599 OPS overall. Even with fantastic right field defense, he has graded […]
The Notes: Outfield and Nola’s Lefty Problem
The Phillies made a small trade with the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon, sending two prospects for outfielder Derek Hill and international bonus pool money. Hill is a low-cost platoon option and a plus defender at all three positions. It’s a good move to help alleviate some of their outfield injury issues. Adolis García […]
Opposition research: Jacob Misiorowski
Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski first caught the attention of Phillies fans when he was named to the 2025 National League All-Star team. The selection was somewhat curious because Miz (Sorry for the nickname usage, but I’m not typing out Misiorowski every time) was a rookie with only five career starts. And it was annoying for […]
Is Don Mattingly overusing Jhoan Duran?
On Wednesday night, closer Jhoan Duran was called on for a third straight game to protect a 7-4 lead against the Blue Jays. He gave up two hits in the 9th inning but danced between the raindrops and secured his 17th save in 18 chances and lowered his ERA to 1.99. Duran has given up […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/12/2026
You’re here for the Gage Wood notes, so let’s just right into an evening in which most teams in the Phillies’ system won their game and won was prevented from doing so by Mother Nature. Lehigh Valley 0, Scranton 0 (suspended, 4th inning) This game was suspended in the fourth inning due to weather. They’ll […]
What do you think the Phillies will do with Johan Rojas?
You’d be forgiven if you forgot all about Johan Rojas prior to yesterday’s news. The outfielder is still serving his 80-game suspension for PED use, but it was announced yesterday that during his preparation to return from that ban, he suffered an injury to his UCL and will be out for the rest of the […]
Phillies News: Derek Hill, Jhoan Duran, Cristopher Sánchez
The Phillies now head to Wisco for a set against the Brewers. I’ve heard that actual Wisconsinites never say “Wisco”. Is that true? As you can tell (or maybe not?) from my use of the term, I am not from Wisconsin. Onto the links. Phillies news The Phillies are going to have some All-Stars for […]
Phillies make a trade, acquire Derek Hill from White Sox
The Phillies made a deal with the Chicago White Sox today, grabbing a right handed bat for their outfield. Acquiring Hill will help shore up some major league outfield depth that the team really doesn’t have much of at the moment. This season with the White Sox, he has played all three outfield positions at […]
2026 Phillies MLB Draft Preview: Zion Rose, OF
After completing my most recent review on Daniel Jackson, I started thinking “What if the Phillies drafted for need?” The “need” being a right handed power bat, preferably a corner OF. I would also prefer if the prospect not be a reach or a guy that almost certainly will go 20 spots higher. Turns out […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/11/2026
The Phillies affiliates (APhilliates?) posted a 2-2 record last night, with plenty of offense: 25 runs scored in the games with the Single-A clubs (most of them scored against the good guys, unfortunately), and an extra-innings thriller for the IronPigs that saw them enter the ninth with one run and end the game with eight. […]
Do you think that the Phillies are overworking Jhoan Duran?
Tuesday night’s game featured a rare occurrence in Jhoan Duran blowing a save. The Phillies closer had been a perfect 16 for 16 in save opportunities until allowing the tying run and winning run to score in the ninth inning in Toronto without recording an out. That appearance was already the fifth time in eight […]
Phillies News: Johan Rojas, Adolis Garcia, Ronald Acuña Jr.
The Phillies have an off day today before traveling for a rather big series in Milwaukee this weekend. The Brewers sit atop the NL Central and are one of only five teams to have eclipsed the 40-win mark. If that wasn’t enough of a test, the Phillies will get to face Jacob Misiorowski right out […]
Is this the end for Mad Max?: Phillies 7, Blue Jays 4
Over the course of his long, illustrious career, future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer has had many dominant performances against the Phillies. Tonight was not one of them. The Phillies victimized the 41-year-old Scherzer in his first start back from the injured list, teeing off for five runs and two home runs off of their […]
