The Philadelphia Phillies won a battle against the Braves in Atlanta, taking game two of their three-game series, 4-3. Trea Turner came up with the game-winning homer in the top of the 9th. For five innings, neither pitching staff, mainly starters Taijuan Walker and Grant Holmers would crack. Then in the 6th, Bryson Stott was able to just get enough of a pitch and scorched a grounder that was in and out of the glove of Ozzie Albies at second. It went down as an RBI single, scoring Max Kepler and the first run of the game. When the 7th inning rolled around, the Phillies trailed 2-1. That’s when Bryce Harper smashed a two-run home run to right-center field for his second homer of the season. After an Austin Riley homer off Joe Ross in the seventh tied the score at 3, the Phillies’ offense needed to respond. Trea Turner was the one that would make that happen. He came up with one out in the top of the 9th and belted his first homer of the season, jumping on a first pitch slider to left field to give the Phillies a 4-3 edge. Jose Alvarado pitched 1.1ip and recorded the win. Taijuan Walker made the start for the Phillies, notching his 2nd straight scoreless outing to start off his 2025 campaign. That’s now 10.2 of scoreless baseball for a guy that was supposed to start this season in the bullpen, then Ranger Suarez’ back issue landed him on the injured list. Phillies go for their fourth straight series win as they send Jesus Luzardo to the hill against Spencer Schwellenbach Thursday night at 7:15. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Philadelphia Phillies fell to the Atlanta Braves, 7-5 as the Phils found just about every way possible to lose this game. The Phillies struggled, with Starting pitching as Zack Wheeler didn’t have his best stuff, lasting just 5.1ip allowing 5 runs. The Bullpen gave up 2 runs on 3 hits and 3 walks including 2 wild pitches and the offense was non-existent after the 5th inning. But there was one big play that stuck out in this one that led to the wheels coming off. In the 2nd inning, Austin Riley stepped to the plate with one out. He hits high fly ball to the left/center field gap. Johan Rojas and Edmundo Sosa, who was making his first career start in left, came in charging at the ball. As the ball came down, Sosa and Rojas starting to look at each other as opposed to the ball. The ball dropped right at the foot of Rojas. An inexcusable mistake for a center field that Rojas has especially not trying harder to make the play with an inexperienced left fielder playing next to him. Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos had great nights from the plate. Schwarber was a double short of the cycle including his 5th homer of the season and 3 RBIs, while Casty went 3-for-4 with 2 RBIs. Phillies and Braves play game two of this three game series Wednesday night at 7:15. Taijuan Walker is set to start against “opener” Grant Holmes. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Philadelphia Phillies come back twice on the Los Angeles Dodgers to grab a 8-7 win and take two-of-three in the series. Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez pitched will as long as he wasn’t facing Teoscar Hernandez. The Dodgers right fielder took Sanchy for two homers, a double and five RBIs. Other than him, Sanchez toosed 5.2 with nine strikeouts. As for the offense, Philly just kept fighting! They tied the game at two in the 3rd inning, then jumped out to a 6-2 lead following a grand slam home run from Nick Castellanos. Then, after the Dodgers got to Jordan Romano and Orion Kerkering in the 7th for 3 runs, all charged to Romano, the Phillies found themselves down 7-6. The bat’s were up for the challenge as they picked up their bullpen in the bottom of the 7th. Bryce Harper led off the inning with a double to center, then Max Kepler worked the Phillies 11th walk of the game. Bryson Stott followed with a humpback RBI liner to right that plated Bryce Harper to tie the game. Then Edmundo Sosa brought home the winning run by busting it down the first baseline on what would have been a double-play ball. Instead, Kepler crossing home plate counted as Sosa beat the throw to first. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Wonderful Pistachios Looking for a snack that’s both delicious and nutritious?

The Philadelphia Phillies take an extremely frustration loss as they fall to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-1. In short, it was some very bad baseball. Cringe-worthy actually. The Phillies managed just four hits in the loss, with two walks and one hit-batsman. They seemed overly aggressive, even by the standard they’ve set over the last several years. The approach was at it’s worst in the 4th inning, when Bryce Harper worked a walk and starting pitcher Roki Sasaki looked to begin to lose his are slot. The next to batters, Alec Bohm and Max Kepler each swung at the first pitch and recorded fly outs. Then Nick Castellanos struck out to end the inning after an at bat that featured him swinging at two splitters in the dirt. As for the high of frustration, that came in the 7th inning, when Kyle Schwarber stepped to the plate with J.T. Realmuto on third and Bryson Stott on first. With a full count, Stott took off for 2nd as Schwarber hit line drive to right field. Stott was late to throw on the breaks and got doubled off 1st base. That double play not only ended the inning, but also negated Realmuto scoring the game tying run on what would have been a sac fly RBI. Aaron Nola takes the loss, dropping to 0-2 on the season. He went 6 innings allowing 3 runs. He surrendered a two-run homer to Kike Hernandez in the 1st and a solo homer to Michael Conforto in the 6th. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Jesus Luzardo tossed 7-scoreless, while J.T. Realmuto’s defense clinched the game as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2. Luzardo improved to 2-0 on the young season after allowing just 2 hits and 2 walks over his outing. He also sat down 8 Dodgers. He needed only 72 pitches to get through his first 6 innings and finished with 95 total on the night. Trea Turner he's on the board in the first inning when he hit a one out double then later came around to score on a failed pickup attempt by Dodgers starter, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The righty tried to get Turner stealing 3rd base, but instead threw the ball past the 3rd base bag and into foul territory, allowing Turner to score. The Phillies wouldn't get on the board again until the 7th inning when Bryson Stott came up with an RBI single to give the Phillies a 2-0 advantage then Brandon marsh grounded out to 2nd with one out bringing home Nick Castellanos from third. That offense would be just enough to out due the Dodgers, as Tommy Edman smashed a 2-run homer of Jordan Romano. Then Romano helped close the door after that, with two strike outs, but it was J.T. Realmuto who stole the show. After Will Smith drew a one-out walk in the one-run game, the Dodgers had Chris Taylor pinch run for the catcher and Max Muncy pinch hit for Kike Hernandez. Muncy went down swinging at a high fast-ball, while Taylor took off from 1st to try and steal 2nd. Realmuto popped and fired to 2nd, but Taylor was called safe by 2nd base umpire Hunter Wendlestedt. Rob Thomson challenged the call and IT WAS OVERTURNED giving the Phillies the win, and the Dodgers their first loss of the season. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies sweep of the Colorado Rockies yesterday, behind a stunning performance on the mound from Taijuan Walker! After an offseason (and last season) with plenty of criticism about Walker, how he stepped up to give the Phils an outing that very few thought he was capable of. Next, with two series under their belts, who on the Phillies needs to heat up as the season starts to settle in? Finally, with a HUGE series against the undefeated Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend, what should expectations be for the Phils? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Taijuan Walker tossed 6-scoreless, while Kyle Schwarber blasted a 444ft home run as the Philadelphia Phillies completed the Sweep of the Colorado Rockies with a 3-1 win. Walker at the very least bought himself a reprieve from Phillies fans that wanted him caught at the end of last year or even during spring training. The 32 year-old righty allow just three hits, issued one walk and hit one batter but kept the Rockies from crossing home plate. The win for Walker marked his first start in his last 34 where he was able to throw 6 innings, without allowing a run. A stretch that dates back to June 6th 2023, when he held the Tigers scoreless for 7 innings. Walkers’ effort was backed by an RBI double from Bryce Harper in the 5th as well as a 444 foot solo home run from Kyle Schwarber in the 7th. JT Realmuto added another run by scoring on a wild pitch in the eighth. Realmuto went 3-for-3 on the day with a walk. Jose Alvarado came in for the save in the 9th inning and labored through his one inning of work but did get the job done despite allowing three hits one run and a walk in the ninth. Alvarado recorded his and the Phillies first save of the season using 35 pitches to eventually strike out the side. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In today's episode, Connor reacts to the Philadelphia Phillies win over the Colorado Rockies last night that gives them their 2nd series win of the season, and also discusses the first big lineup question that Rob Thomson has to deal with: how to get Edmundo Sosa in the lineup again today. With Sosa tearing the cover off the ball, but a strong infield ahead of him on the roster, how does Thomson manipulate the lineup to keep the hot bat at the dish? Next, after another sterling start from Zack Wheeler, is it even possible to properly appreciate his level of dominance right now for the Phils? Finally, with Taijuan Walker taking the mound this afternoon, how much stock can we put into a game where we can't trust the starter? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Zack Wheeler struck out 10, while Edmundo Sosa stayed RED HOT as the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Colorado Rockies, 5-1. Wheeler kept the Rockies bats at bay over his seven innings, allowing just one run on a solo homer to Hunter Goodman in the 7th, but that’s all Colorado was able to get off the Phillies’ ace. Wheeler allowed just 3 hits while issuing no walks in his first win of the season. For an offense that is usually reliant on the long ball, the Phillies did a great job of manufacturing runs. Edmundo Sosa led the charge with another multi-hit game, his 4th in as many games including a clutch two-run double with the bases loaded in the 8th. Kyle Schwarber started the scoring with an RBI double in the 4th inning that plated Alec Bohm. Then Schwarbs scored later in the inning with some great heads up baserunning. With Schwarber on third, J.T. Realmuto hit a short dribbler just barely onto the infield grass, Scharber read the play perfectly and scored when Rockies’ starting pitcher Kyle Freeland threw to first, the Phils’ DH broke for home and scored. Trea Turner also had a 3-hit night for the Phils, who will go for the series sweep of the Rockies, Thursday afternoon at 1:05. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In today's episode, Connor celebrates the Philadelphia Phillies win in the home opener over the Colorado Rockies, but also discusses a weird trend: why is it that the Phils are crushing bullpen pitching, but can't seem to figure out starters? Is it an approach issue, a too early in the season for a sample size problem, or is it a credit to the starting pitching they've seen so far? Next, Rob Thomson made some uncharacteristic moves in yesterday's win over the Rockies, and has been starting to show a different philosophy this season. Finally, a look at the NL East's start to the season and a big suspension that hurts the Atlanta Braves. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Philadelphia Phillies won their home opener against the Colorado Rockies 6-1 thanks in large part to a solid start by Cristopher Sanchez and a clutch at bat from Edmundo Sosa! The Phillies bats’ went scoreless through Sanchez’ 5.1 inning of work. Tough break for Sanchez who left the game with one out in the 6th after giving up a solo home run. The Phillies offense would pick him up though. Bryson Stott stepped to the plate in the bottom of the 7th with two outs and blooped a double into shallow right field. Phillies skipper Rob Thompson then had Trea Turner pinch-hit for Brandon Marsh. Turner delivered by drawing a walk. With runners on 1st and 2nd and two outs, Sosa stepped up and drove a 0-1 slider into center field for a 2-run double, giving the Phillies a 2-1 lead. After that it was a power display for the Phillies, Kyle Schwarber smashed a 434ft 2-run homer to center. Then in the 8th, Max Kepler hit his first homer as a Phillie, followed by Nick Castellanos who hit his first homer of the season. The Phillies’ bullpen also did their part tossing 3.2ip of scoreless 2-hit baseball. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
