We’ve seen this before, the statue stealers, the attempt to change history, the stupidity that exists in the reasoning of such things. Well, there is more. This is probably a story you didn’t read about, as I haven’t until it was recently brought to my attention by a colleague of mine. Did you even know there was a baseball commissioner’s […]

The 2020 World Series is being played in a neutral location for the first time ever. It’s a novel approach to a Covid-19 world in 2020. Is it something that should be thought about for the future? Sort of like a Super Bowl type of situation? The MLB in my opinion does very little to drum up excitement for Series […]
What happened to the Phillies sizzle? That swagger that they showed in Spring Training I, in March when they looked like they would run the table in 2020. The Phillies unbelievably could have still had to chance to make the playoffs yesterday with a win in Tampa over the Rays. The Phils couldn’t get a win. That’s been the problem […]
The past week for the Phillies started off really badly, the Phils had 3 straight losses to the Marlins, yes, that Miami team that hasn’t done much in the past several years. The Phils managed to lose the doubleheader on Sunday and then Monday’s game. This ended an awful 7-game series with the Marlins and it showed for the Phillies […]
More than half the MLB will make the playoffs in 2020, a move that will draw more interest in the post season for more teams. The way the Phillies have been playing lately, combined with the way the Braves starting rotation is starting to come apart is signalling that the Phils will be among the playoff teams when they start […]
The Phillies find a way to keep winning, and it’s starting to show in their record, with the win last night, they are now 2 games over the .500 mark. The best that this team has been all season just occurred on September 1st when they were 1-game over .500. The new high mark comes with the 3-0 victory last […]
Embed from Getty Images Spencer Howard was what the Phillies anticipated from him being able to do last night for this Phillies team. He took the ball and earned his first win of his Phillies career. He pitched 5.0 innings and gave up 2.0 R in the ballgame. Embed from Getty ImagesHoping both Hoskins and Harper can get hot at […]
It’s been something that’s been familiar to Phillies fans in the past 3 seasons. Having Jake Arrieta on the mound, which equates to a loss by the end of the game. Last night was no different, despite a brief good outing the last time by Jake Arrieta, he got hit around by the Braves in the 2nd inning last night, […]
The Phillies have been on a winning streak, that’s exactly what they need to do at this time in the season, with Labor Day weekend happening next weekend, the sprint of this season is now going to turn into an old fashioned foot race to the finish line. The most recent win coming last night in Philadelphia and after a […]
This year has been a trying time for many in this country and around the world. The Covid-19 crisis has tested us in our spirit and our will to survive. Doing the right precautions to try to prevent the transmission of this virus has been now the norm, as we social distance, wear masks, clean our hands many times a […]
Embed from Getty Images Embed from Getty Images Hoskins is turning things around at the plate with another HR last night A win last night against the Washington Nationals extended the Phillies win streak to 3-games, as the bullpen pickups seem to have had a positive influence on the team. The Phils banged out 12 H last night in Washington […]
The Phillies managed to hold on to a 5-4 lead in a game and win last night in Atlanta in front of an ESPN Sunday Night Baseball audience and the Atlanta cardboard cut-out fans in place for the big third game of a series between the Atlanta Braves and the Phillies. Embed from Getty Images It’s rare that the Phillies […]
With yesterday’s loss, Jake Arrieta has provided the Phillies with a 19-22 record in the last year of his 3-year $75M contract with the team. One has to go back a few years to find one that was worse in return from what the Phillies paid for. Embed from Getty Images I can recall a few other players that were […]
The Phillies have really sort of owned the Mets over the last 23 games coming into the series, the Phillies have won 16 of those games (not counting today). Last season the Phils were 12-7 vs. the Mets (though the Phils were 8-11 in 2018 vs the Mets) and now with a sweep of them on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, […]
It’s no secret, this season has been challenging for all MLB players, the original plan of doing exactly what the NHL and the NBA are doing now by having their games in one central location which is easier to keep players safe was first proposed by the MLB, but they changed course and decided on traveling and seeing where that […]
