The Final Stretch The Major League Baseball regular season is nearing an end. The Phillies find themselves in a great spot as the push for playoff spots continues. Although they have not clinched, there is no reason they shouldn’t make the playoffs. A red October is on the horizon for the Phillies. Unfortunately, it does not seem like there will …

As we head full steam ahead to October, the Phillies are in a prime position to be one of the Wildcard teams from the National League. The 2022 season has been anything but a banner year for the team with several ups and downs. Early season struggles saw the Phils part way with former manager Joe Girardi, and then an …

The Phillies finally caught a break on Tuesday night and benefited from an overturned challenge. Edmundo Sosa was tagging from third base on a fly ball and was gunned down at home plate, or so we thought. After review, he was deemed safe.

With just 43 games left to play, the Phillies end their road trip with a 3-3 record, just before they return home to Citizens Bank Park to face the New York Mets.  This series has potential to make or break the team’s confidence, as the Mets are a tough team to beat. In their most recent series vs the Mets, …

Rob Thomson. The bullpen. The resurgence of JT Realmuto. Rhys Hoskins’ hot streaks. Nick Castellanos is getting better. The return of Jean Segura. The defense and emergence of Alec Bohm (future Gold Glover).  So many things have gone right for the Phillies since they began their hot streak at the beginning of June.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. New York Mets After taking 2 of 3 from the Marlins, the Phillies head up I-95 to take on the hated New York Mets. At this point in the season every series is important.
