I’ve Caught Phils Phever: The Phillies Are Going To Beat The St. Louis Cardinals


The Phillies broke their 11 year playoff drought and are finally back in the postseason. Heading into their Wild Card series matchup with the St. Louis Cardinals, there are enough narratives to get the attention of Stephen A. Smith.   Barry Bonds is the home run KING!!!! pic.twitter.com/KjpCOtAkuJ — Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) October 5, […]

The Grades Of The Phillies Closest Competition At The Deadline


Tuesday was one of the wildest trade deadlines in the history of Major League Baseball. There was a franchise-altering move, plenty of smart moves, some head-scratching moves, a few under-the-radar depth moves, and whatever the Colorado Rockies are doing.   Asked about the Rockies being the only team to not make a deadline trade, Bill […]

Realistic Deadline Additions For The Phillies


When Dave Dombrowski spoke to the media in the Phillies dugout before their series against the Braves, he was shockingly transparent. He seems to like where the Phillies are at lineup wise, especially with Jean Segura on the way back and Bryce Harper hopefully returning by the time the Birds wrap up their preseason schedule. […]

The Awesome History Of Phillies In The Home Run Derby


The Home Run Derby is easily my favorite all-star game-related competition in any sport, and nothing really comes close. I snooze heavily on the NBA dunk contest and 3-point contest, especially in recent years. The NFL just recently started doing competitions for their pro bowl week after fans essentially got on their hands and knees […]

Outfielders The Phillies Should Acquire Sooner Rather Than Later


Now that it’s official that Phillies superstar Bryce Harper is going to miss a good chunk of time, President of Baseball Operations Dave Dombrowski has some decisions to make. Do the Phillies, who are currently 1.5 games out of a playoff spot, trust what they have on the roster now and wait for Harper to […]

The Phillies Are Royally Screwed


I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I will not try to convince anyone of anything good. If you came here looking for any sort of hope for the Phillies this summer, you’ve come to the wrong place. On today, June 26, with the Phillies three games above .500 and 2.5 games back of the last […]

The Phils Are Hot, The Schedule Gets Easier, The Fun Continues…Right?


Right now, I feel exactly like Patrick Star in that scene from Spongebob where he returns home to his rock and doesn’t know any of the people in his house. When it comes to the Phillies of the past week, I don’t know who any of these people are.   5 straight wins?! 9th inning […]

Viva Las Vegas: Harper, Stott Are The Future, But Is The Future Now?


When the Phillies signed Bryce Harper to a mega 13-year, $330 million contract in March of 2019, they expected him to step up in the clutch moments like he did on Sunday afternoon. When the Phillies drafted Bryson Stott, they will say that they eventually expected the same thing from Stott that they did from […]
