Can the Phillies Rebound in Game 6?


Game 5 of the 2022 World Series was brutal. It was grueling. It was awful. Even though the Phillies were No-Hit the previous night, Game 5 felt a thousand times worst because it felt like they were one hit away from taking control of the game in every single inning. And every single time it […]

The Awesome History Of Phillies In The Home Run Derby

I snooze heavily on the NBA dunk contest and 3-point contest, especially in recent years.

Phillies Without Four Unvaccinated; Realmuto Has…Interesting Response


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 […]
