The Phillies flew out west to begin a seven-game road trip starting on Monday. The trip included three games against the Seattle Mariners and now four with the Los Angeles Dodgers. They began the trip with a 9-0 win on Monday night. They followed that with a 5-4 loss on Tuesday. They wrapped up the series with a 4-2 win …

Setting   The Phillies managed to crawl out of April with a .500 record, going 11-11, and currently sit in third place in the NL East. Truthfully, this is not where the City of Brotherly Love wants to see the boys in the red pinstripes at this point in the season, but there should not be cause for concern just …

The Phillies came into the 2022 season expecting to be a top-flight offense. Six games into the season, they’ve been mediocre. Through six games, they’re averaging 4.2 runs per game. Bryce Harper has arguably been the most disappointing of the entire lineup at this point. After they lit up Oakland on Opening Day, they scored 4, 1, 5, 0, and …

The defense is going to be bad, sometimes to the point where we have to laugh about it. But, the offense should definitely make up for it. The Phillies, in order to make the playoffs, …

The Phillies did it! They finally went over the luxury tax and signed Kyle Schwarber on a four year/$79.5m deal and Nicholas Castellanos on a five year/$100m contract. The signings have bolstered the line-up and given the Phillies a stable outfield.    Obviously, the line-up has the potential for five out of the nine players to hit 20+ home runs …

The Phillies have signed free agent OF/1B Kyle Schwarber to a 4-year/$79m contract. Schwarber adds championship experience and has been to the playoffs multiple times throughout his career. Schwarber also provides power from the left side as well as a sure-fire leadoff hitter for Joe Girardi. If the Phillies are done signing free agents now and don’t make any trades, …
