Ben Simmons has been pampered his entire life. He’s used to everything coming easy, being unconditionally loved, and never having to answer for himself or be held with any sort of accountability. If you’re a Philadelphia sports fan, you already knew that. Simmons’ refusal to play for the Sixers in the first half of the […]
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 […]
Dave Dombrowski was asleep for about a week, up until approximately 3:30 on Tuesday afternoon. As the rest of the baseball world was reacting to the shockwaves of the Nationals being a poverty organization, rest assured Dombrowski wasn’t missing his daily cat nap. Then, out of seemingly nowhere, the Phillies made two trades in […]
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 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 […]
We’re officially into the dog days of summer. The only sport in action is Major League Baseball and the NFL season is getting closer but not close enough to start thinking X’s and O’s. Considering the absolute dumpster fire of a week it’s been for Philadelphia sports, with the Phillies once again forgetting how […]
After splitting a four game series with the St. Louis Cardinals that saw the Phillies drop the last two games, an already undermanned lineup will become even thinner. Because of Canada’s law that prohibits unvaccinated individuals from entering the country, Alec Bohm, J.T. Realmuto, Aaron Nola, and Kyle Gibson will not be able to join […]
With the NBA offseason set to begin here on the last day of the month of Kyle Schwarber (patent pending), Daryl Morey and the Sixers don’t have many big splashes to make in free agency as it currently stands. After James Harden so graciously opted out of his $47 million player option for this season, […]
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 […]
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 […]
