Gamethread 7/26: Yankees at Phillies
here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Yankees: Let’s talk about it.
The Phillies, off to the Not-So-Wacky Races
And now, here they are! The most daredevil group of baffling baseballers to ever whirl their wheels in the Wacky Baserunning Races! Competing for the title of the world’s wackiest baserunner! The competitors are approaching the baseline… The first is Jumbled-Up J.T., who dashes back to second when staying at third would do just fine… […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/26/2026
A depressing night in the major leagues and a semi-depressing night in the minor leagues. Let’s check in on the kids: Indianapolis 9, Lehigh Valley 0 Good lord, what a pitiful showing by the offense. A double by Paul McIntosh, a single by Liover Peguero and that’s it. Nothing more, nothing less. Alan Rangel must […]
Who is the best player traded at the deadline?
This isn’t really a question of the day that is narrowed to the Phillies. Instead, let’s look around the league and try and make a guess. A lot of the same players are being bandied about the rumor mill these days, enough that we can kind of narrow down the list to who would actually […]
Phillies news: J.T. Realmuto, OBP, Max Meyer
Would be nice if the offense did something with runners in scoring position, but hey, beggars can’t be choosers. I think we’d all just take a few hits period. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
The offense, it’s offensive: Yankees 3, Phillies 1
When the Phillies struggle on offense as a collective, there is usually a simple recipe for it: Wash, rinse, repeat. The offense is in the middle of one of those stretches right now where everyone is trying to do too much, swinging at bad pitches, trying to hit a seven run home run and now, […]

Relief pitchers are on the docket at the deadline
This week, I asked you what the Phillies were going to end up acquiring at the trade deadline by way of a poll. Here are the results: Maybe this is all of us thinking the bare minimum will be a reliever, but there seems to be a pretty good split amongst people about what the […]
Phillies acquire Kameron Misner in trade with KC
A trade! A trade with Kansas City! If you were here expecting a bigger deadline deal with the Royals, I have some bad news for you. Misner is likely no more than better organizational depth than what Steward Berroa was. Once a compensation pick for the Marlins, Misner is now floating in between the majors […]
Ranking what the Phillies have to trade
Much like the Doomsday clock Disney/Marvel has put in place to count down to the new IP they want to put on screen, the clock is counting down to the trade deadline for MLB. Once the All-Star festivities completed and the season started back up, teams turned their attention back to making deals to put […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/25/2026
Guess who had another fantastic start in Jersey Shore? Checking in on the kids: Lehigh Valley 6, Indianapolis 3 Steward Berroa enjoyed a three hit day for the IronPigs, possibly his last day as a member of the Phillies’ 40 man roster with their impending need to add Brian Keller. Berroa was the only one […]
Do you prefer a big move or several smaller moves at the deadline?
The trade deadline is all anyone is talking about with the final days ticking down. The Phillies, as are all of the other contenders in the league, are definitely going to be buyers, which means one or several moves are going to be in the offing. Or are they? Matt Gelb wrote the other day […]
Phillies news: Tyler Spangler, John Kruk, Emerson Hancock
LeBron James is a Sixer, which is cool. But don’t let that distract you from what’s going on with the Phillies, which is, uh, something. On to the links. Phillies news: MLB news:
Aw Schlitt: Yankees 1, Phillies 0
I mean, what else can you say? The Phillies had an outstanding pitching performance by Jesus Luzardo go for naught since they came up against a buzzsaw in Cam Schlittler. Luzardo did all he could, going seven innings and allowing a single run in the form of a solo home run on a great piece […]
Gamethread 7/24: Phillies vs Yankees
The Yankees come to town for a three game series starting on Friday night. The Phillies will go with lefthander Jesus Luzardo for the opener. The Yankees starter will be righthander Cam Schlittler. The All-Star is 9-6 with a 2.20 ERA on the season. Game time is 6:45 PM and it will be televised exclusively […]
Three Players to Avoid at the Trade Deadline
There are often players who change teams and don’t put together the same results. Think of Ryan Helsley and Cedric Mullins for the Mets last season. It can happen and sometimes it’s easy to see. Once again, the Phillies will be buyers at the trade deadline, looking to bolster their club for a trip into […]
And now we have to deal with Yankees fans: Phillies vs. Yankees series preview
The Phillies have stumbled out of the break, dropping their first two series. Both series featured poor relief pitching, poor fielding, poor hitting with runners on base, and some inexplicably poor baserunning. In a curious turn of events, the Phillies’ left-handed hitters have largely been awful since the break (Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber, and Brandon […]
Three teams the Phillies match up with at the deadline
The trade deadline is near and the Phillies have work to do. There are multiple holes that can, and should, be filled by the time to clock ticks to 00:00 on August 3rd, which means there needs to be a scouring of rosters around the game. Several problems are present though, the most glaring is […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/24/26
It was an up and down night for the affiliates: two wins, two losses. Down in Lakewood, a group of future Phillies walked off some future Mets, let us hope they someday celebrate the same sort of victory in Citizens Bank Park. Lehigh Valley 3, Indianapolis 1 This one started off looking like it’d be […]
Who is the Phillies prospect most likely to be moved at the trade deadline?
We’ve all seen the latest prospect rankings that cast the Phillies farm system in a rather dim light. We all know that they don’t have much in the way of ammunition to acquire upgrades at this upcoming trade deadline. But that doesn’t mean they won’t be sending any of their prospects out in a deal […]
Phillies News: Zack Wheeler, Alex McFarlane, Trade Deadline
Last weekend, the Phillies hosted some guests from New York. This weekend, they’re hosting some more guests from New York. But the pinstriped ones, this time. As everyone knows, Philadelphia and New York have a longstanding mutual fondness for each other, so surely it’ll be a happy reunion, buoyed by fond memories of 2009 (and […]
What “impact” bats might be available for the Phillies at the Trade Deadline?
All things being equal, the team and the fanbase would most like to see the Phillies add an impact bat at the Trade Deadline. But as always, supply and demand remain the greatest obstacle to landing an impact bat. There aren’t that many, if any, offensive stars available and the ones that are would likely […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 7/23/2026
A mixed night for the Phillies’ affiliates on Wednesday. The IronPigs and Fightin’ Phils fell, but the three lower-level teams were swinging the bats well and came away with wins. Indianapolis 2, Lehigh Valley 1 Despite a home run by Otto Kemp and six strong innings by starting pitcher Kolby Allard, the IronPigs fell to […]
Should the Phillies give Alex McFarlane a real chance in the bullpen?
It’s no secret that the Phillies bullpen needs help. That was true even before they lost Brad Keller for the season, as every reliever not named Jhoan Duran has been at best inconsistent or at worst downright brutal. They’ve already churned through many of their options on the 40-man roster, hoping to find some stability […]
Phillies News: Outfield, John Middleton, Trade Deadline
The Phillies will have a usual Thursday off day today before the Yankees come to town for a weekend series. It just feels unusual because of all the World Cup and or All-Star game related Friday off days they’ve experienced this year. On to the links. Phillies News: MLB news:
