Tonight the Phillies will begin their second half of the season. With that comes a few different things. Trade season will be getting underway any day now. The pennant race will really heat up in both leagues. The Phillies will look to end their National League-long 11-year playoff drought. Before that all happens, let’s take a look back at the …
The Phillies 29-year-old first baseman has had his fair share of scrutiny over his tenure with the organization.

But Rhys Hoskins, one of the few …
The defending World Series Champions strutted into Citizens Bank Park on Tuesday night. As they felt the infield diamond against their cleats, it was different than the last time they visited.

Interim manager Rob Thomson handed the Phillies lineup card to the home plate umpire on Tuesday. It read: Schwarber, Hoskins, Castellanos, Realmuto. Stop right there.

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 Philadelphia Phillies are struggling. They have lost two of three to the Milwaukee Brewers. Both Saturday and Sunday’s games were winnable, but this line-up is not hitting.
