I still think the MLB should do a much better job of marketing the pinnacle of the baseball season, The World Series. All too often it’s just like an afterthought, there’s very little hoopla built up around the series like the NFL does for Super Bowls. Did the Super Bowl always have it this way? Of course not, it started […]

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 […]
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 […]
I picked up my edition of Lindy’s Sports Baseball 2020 Preview yesterday and just got a chance to glance at it this morning. Under the headlines, there’s an interesting article about Bryce Harper, it says, “Bryce Harper: Has He Peaked”?. So I just had to open the cover and go straight to the article, and examine it. It didn’t go […]

🚨FULL SQUAD INCOMING🚨 A post shared by phillies (@phillies) on Feb 19, 2018 at 6:06am PST Nothing better than seeing this picture from Spring Training year after year. With the advent of all the social media outlets, it is a really great thing for fans! Games to start up tomorrow vs University of Tampa and then the Grapefruit League starts […]
Ok Phillies fans, it’s only less than 10 days till Spring Training officially opens it’s doors to the Phillies! That means we’re going to see a team that should be an improvement over the past couple of years with the Phils finish in last place. Rhys Hoskins was one of the big reasons to get back into Phillies baseball last […]
It’s a time for great holiday memories for baseball fans! It’s with some regret that I’ll be taking some time off from the blog here with my writing (though some will probably be much happier I did!) You can still tune into the podcast though, it’s called Phillies Talk Podcast in case you’re new here (I’d even like to invite […]
My first couple rants on the show, with the debacle last night, the Phillies bullpen blowing a 3-run lead, and losing a game they should have won. But, all is not lost on the year as the offense has been doing much better, the pitching has suffered a few big losses in the starting pitching department. I’m joined by Matthew […]
Had a great time talking with my special guest, Matt Veasey, who has been writing about the Phillies and baseball for many years! On this edition of Phillies Talk Podcast: With only 7 days to go to the Opening Day of the 2017 baseball, it’s so exciting to be talking about the Phillies team that we’ll be seeing on the […]
It’s time for another edition of Phillies Talk Podcast, we’re talking about the end of the season already? Wow, that was another fast baseball season. The Phils are down to their last 10 games and 7 out of those 10 games are against the Mets. I am on my good friend’s podcast called Mets Musings, the great Gary Mack. Gary […]
Embed from Getty Images The Phillies and the Blue Jays left it at a tie yesterday, 4-4 You have to wonder if Spring Training baseball is the way baseball was meant to be. What do I mean by that, you are wondering. Take the fan interaction with the players, it’s so personal. Here are all the heroes of the baseball […]
Embed from Getty Images JP Arencibia provides some offense for this Phillies team yesterday in the opener Darwin Barney, not exactly a household name, may want to frame the boxscore of yesterday’s opening Spring Training game against the Phillies. Barney agreed to a one year deal with the Blue Jays for $1.05M for this season, I think the Blue Jays […]
