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 […]

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, […]
By FRANK CORSOE A perfect game for Larry Bowa would consist of making two sterling plays in the field from his shortstop position, saving a run, getting a hit, stealing a base, scoring a run, getting a walk and barking at the second base umpire and home plate umpire for missing obvious calls. If Bowa is not in your Top […]
This post is being written when there is really no baseball news going on, during the Pandemic that swept over the World starting about mid-March 2020. There’s always something you can write about baseball, and today, I was reading something on game length time, which prompted me to want to run for my Phillies Media Guide to check out the […]
MLBNetwork’s show “Intentional Talk” has been still in production during the long pause now that baseball has taken due to the Covid-19 crisis. The show isn’t easy to find though, you won’t find it on the regular MLBNetwork lineup. Intentional Talk was MLBNetwork’s first ‘talk show’ originating in 2011 it currently has over 575 episodes. But lately, they’ve had to […]
In the overall scheme of things, creating a potential Phillies lineup for the 2020 season might land at No. 6 on my list of priorities. Coronavirus Covid-19 is the big one. Caring for my family. Prayers to keep all healthcare workers safe and concern for my fellow man. Eating. And not dying — occupy the first five delicate slots. So […]

By Frank Corsoe There was no better way to spend a summer day than a visit to our second house of worship — Connie Mack Stadium. Best bud Bob and I thought a Sunday doubleheader against the Mets was the right prescription for the ills of the slow summertime day. In addition, my all-time favorite Phillies pitcher Rick Wise was […]
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 […]

The NY Market responds to the Didi signing, says Didi can do well at CBP I hope this is one of the articles that you’ll look back on and say I was wrong. The Phillies picked up Didi Gregorious for a year to play for the team. His year in 2019 wasn’t good to say the least, he was a […]
