Overcoming Aaron: Phillies 9, White Sox 5
The series against the White Sox was not a strong one for the Phillies’ starting rotation. All three of their starters struggled, including Aaron Nola on Sunday. Fortunately, the Phillies’ lineup – particularly Brandon Marsh – did not struggle. For the second time in three days, the offense was able to overcome shaky pitching and […]
Gamethread 6/7: Phillies vs White Sox
The Phillies and White Sox have split the first two games of their three-game set, and the series winner will be decided on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies will give the ball to Aaron Nola. After a rough start to the season, the veteran righthander has pitched better of late, allowing four […]
Compared to Atlanta, the Phillies are on the Outside Looking…Outside?
Hello, and welcome to the MLB Team Dating Game! Today we’ve got two highly eligible MLBachelors, two clubs looking for their Special Somefan. Here’s how it works: we’ll give you some information about the teams, and you’ll pick the club you want to go on a date with. Only after you choose do you find […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/7/2026
It wasn’t exactly the type of night to brag about the hitting prospects that are on the farm for the Phillies, while two injuries occurred that are both something the team is going to want to be careful with in the coming days. Let’s see how the kids did. Lehigh Valley 3, Rochester 2 Alan […]
Should Andrew Painter make his next start?
Disappointing is probably the best way to categorize Andrew Painter’s season. No one really expected ace-hood from him straight out of the gate, but he has struggled this year. Like any other pitcher, he’s exchanged good starts with poor ones, but those poor ones are far too often. His last five starts have shown this […]
Phillies news: Trea Turner, Jhoan Duran, Tarik Skubal
That loss is the perfect embodiment of a loss. Everything kind of stunk, so they just move on. On to the link. Phillies news: MLB news:
One of Don Mattingly’s Losses as Phillies Interim Manager: White Sox 6 Phillies 3
Andrew Painter’s rocky rookie season was beginning to turn a corner in the middle of May when he put together a strong three-start stretch between the Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, and Cleveland Guardians. He finished six innings in two of those starts and allowed two runs or less in all three. He then met […]
Gamethread 6/6: White Sox at Phillies
let’s talk about it.
The New Orion Kerkering
Does anyone reading this need any reminders about how the NLDS ended in 2025? Didn’t think so. Orion Kerkering’s 2025 season was disappointing after a very good 2024 where he seemed primed for a future late-inning role. The Phillies let Jeff Hoffman walk for Jordan Romano with the idea that Kerkering would fill a bigger […]
Phillies All-Star One and Dones: The 1980s Part 1
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 […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/6/2026
Home runs proved costly for two of the Phillies’ affiliates on Friday night, but Lehigh Valley and Clearwater prevailed thanks to some strong pitching performances. The Threshers’ win was their sixth in a row. Lehigh Valley 4, Rochester 2 Bryse Wilson allowed just one hit and struck out five across four scoreless innings for the […]
Will the Phillies be a playoff team?
I’m taking today’s question of the day directly from The Feed post in which it originated: Go and vote!
Phillies news: Adolis Garcia, Cristopher Sanchez, Max Muncy
What is the bare minimum you are expecting from Adolis Garcia the rest of this season? My hopes of his breaking out at any point have effectively been dashed by his poor play on the field, but I still reserve hope that he can at least be a threat in the box at any given […]
Spot him, got him: Phillies 8, White Sox 6
When the Phillies have won this season, it’s largely been on the back of their pitching staff. But on Friday night, it was the offense that carried the way, as they overcame a shaky start by Jesus Luzardo to top the White Sox 8-6. Luzardo’s off night began with two outs in the second. He […]
Might be time to switch the lineup again
The offense the Phillies have been trotting out this season has been putrid at worst, average at best. You know this is something that can be state with almost factual intent when people get excited about the team scoring six runs on Wednesday. There have been a few spurts here and there of competence, most […]
Opposition research: Seranthony Dominguez
Before the season, it was expected that the Chicago White Sox wouldn’t have many save opportunities for their relievers to convert. They were coming off three straight 100+ loss campaigns, including a 41-121 bottoming out in 2024. But the Sox have been one of the biggest surprises this season, checking in at 33-29, good for […]
Let’s break down the NL Cy Young race
There are still four months to go in the season, so trying to break down an end-of-year award at this early point may be a bit of a fools’ errand. And yet, here I go. This year’s NL Cy Young race is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic and competitive in the […]
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/5/2026
Another good night for Clearwater was the only saving grace among the Phillies system last night, as the Threshers were the only one of the Phillies’ affiliates to win their game. Even still, there were some standout performances in those other losses. Rochester 7, Lehigh Valley 1 The Iron Pigs managed just one run on […]
Is it time for the Phillies to try Felix Reyes again?
Felix Reyes was a surprise call-up back in early May and made a strong first impression. He homered off of Chris Sale in his first at-bat, but he couldn’t carry that momentum forward, as he hit just .158 with a paltry .421 OPS through 38 MLB plate appearances across 12 games. Reyes was sent back […]
Phillies News: Field of Dreams Game, Cole Hamels, All-Star Game Food
The Padres are in the rearview mirror. Next up: the White Sox. The Southsiders are missing Munetaka Murakami, depriving us of a Murakami vs. Schwarber slugger-off. That’s a shame. Maybe someday. Onto the links. Phillies news Want to see the Phillies take on the Twins at the Field of Dreams? The ticket lottery is open… […]
WHOOO SCORED SIX RUNS? Phillies 6 Padres 4
For the first time since May 17, the Philadelphia Phillies scored six runs in a game. It last came when Paul Skenes faced Zack Wheeler on a Sunday afternoon in Pittsburgh as the Phillies looked to sweep the Pirates. As the Phillies look to sweep another mediocre National League team, Wheeler once again takes the […]
Gamethread 6/4: Phillies vs Padres
Here are the lineups for the series (and season) finale against the Padres. Let’s discuss! For the Phillies: For the Padres:
Phillies on the Pharm: 6/4/2026
There were lots and lots of hits in Binghamton. There were not many at all down in St. Lucie. The Phillies prospects played a quartet of games against the Mets’ affiliates, and won three of them. Gotta get that rivalry started early. Rochester 5, Lehigh Valley 3 The IronPigs held their foes scoreless for eight […]
Who do you think will be the Phillies’ biggest competition for a Wild Card spot?
It may be time to accept that the NL East division title is likely out of the picture for the Phillies. There are still over 100 games left to play in the regular season, but the Phillies’ early swoon and the Braves’ hot start has likely given Atlanta a big enough lead that it’s become […]
Phillies News: Cristopher Sánchez, Aidan Miller, Nick Castellanos
What else is there to say about Cristopher Sánchez at this point? The streak may have ended at 50.2 innings, but he’s still the record holder for the longest streak as a left handed pitcher and is one of five pitchers ever to have a scoreless streak of at least 50 innings. We will likely […]
