The Philadelphia Phillies are back in the playoffs, clinching the number 1 wild card spot and guaranteeing themselves a home series against whoever ends as the 2nd seed in the wild card race. As of now, that seems to be the Arizona Diamondbacks, however, the Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres & Miami Marlins are all battling for the last 2 …
Bryce Harper’s heroics are the best heroics. I still get chills from his walk-off grand slam against the Cubs or his 8th-inning game-tying grand slam against the Angels last season. And, of course, there’s debatably the most clutch home run in Phillies history where (on the 7th pitch) Harper sent one in the air to left-center field against the Padres …
The Phillies have established themselves as a serious threat to reclaim their National League pennant and contend for a World Series championship in the 2023 postseason. Since June 3rd, the Phillies have gone an astounding 46-26, putting the whole league on notice. The Phils currently sit at the top of the NL Wild Card standings with multiple teams in the …
It was a roller coaster series for the Phillies against the Nationals last weekend. Unfortunately for the Phillies, there were more downs than ups. In Friday’s game, the Phillies had a 6-run top of the 4th inning to give them what seemed like a substantial lead against a not-so-good team. The only problem? The Nats answered with a 6-run inning …
You always hear it from Philadelphia sports fans. “We boo because we care.” You strike out again and are on an 0-30 slump at the plate? You’ll hear boos walking back to the dugout. You pass the ball instead of going for a wide-open dunk in the paint? Boos will rain down at the Wells Fargo Center. You head back …
The Philadelphia Phillies find themselves in the thick of the playoff race, just as we all expected. With that said, they still are awaiting production from some of their biggest bats, including JT Realmuto, Kyle Schwarber, and Trea Turner. And with that lack of production, the Phillies are searching for an answer at leadoff. Kyle Schwarber is batting .188 with …
With the MLB Draft upon us, the Phillies are slated to pick in unfamiliar territory: the end of the first round. Following the Phils’ miraculous run in the 2022 postseason, the club holds the second-to-last pick in the first round as their reward for falling just two wins short of their third World Series championship. The MLB Draft begins on …
For a team dubbed with the catchphrase “Smash the Bell” last season, the Phillies have not lived up to that praise this season. And, before you ask, no, this post is not about Kyle Schwarber. His 20 home runs rank him 6th throughout the MLB. You can be upset with his batting average or his fielding abilities, but you cannot …
The Phillies’ rollercoaster season continues. After an agonizing sweep to the Mets and a frustrating loss in their weekend opener against the Nationals a week prior, the Phillies swept the visiting Detroit Tigers to earn their fifth straight win. It’s been a season of streaks, both winning and losing streaks, that is, for the Phillies, and it has continued this …
Memorial Day is typically the first checkpoint in the marathon season that is Major League Baseball. Entering the first weekend series of June, the Phillies sit eight games back in the NL East with a record of 25-31. They are just one game above the last-place Nationals. To right the ship in 2022, the Phillies parted ways with their manager, …
