Do you really think it’s going to happen?
There was an article yesterday in the Athletic about the payroll disparity between the Dodgers and the Marlins, highlighted due to the fact that they are facing off this week in Los Angeles. From the article:
The discussion of the spending imbalance only figures to intensify as the clock ticks on the collective bargaining agreement, which expires after next season. Officials from both...

Are platoons a bad thing?
There’s a lot of talk about the team having two platoons in the outfield lately. Most of that probably has to do with the fact that Max Kepler is making so much money I think, but is it really the worst thing in the world that they do have these platoons? Whatever is helping the team win should be the priority, so if this is what works, they should be doing it.
On to the links.

Hello Phillies fans! We’d like to introduce you to our brand new The Good Phight In-5 daily trivia game. The objective is to guess the correct active OR retired Phillies player in as few guesses as possible. Full game instructions are at the bottom.

The Washington Nationals enter their Tuesday series opener in Philadelphia on the heels of a humbling defeat, and they will be challenged to get back on track as they face Phillies ace Zack Wheeler.
The Chicago Cubs entered Sunday with an opportunity to win their sixth series in the month of April. However, Sunday Night Baseball seemingly favored the Philadelphia Phillies as Chicago's bats went stagnant. It wasn't all bad for the Cubs.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suárez is nearing a return from the injured list and his season debut. Suárez has made four minor league rehab starts between Low-A Clearwater and Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

Is Aaron Nola using the first month of the season as a warmup?
Aaron Nola pitched a gem on Sunday night. He allowed just one run in seven innings, and better defense behind him might have prevented even that one run from scoring. He’s still 0-5 on the season, and while that poor record is partly due to a lack of run support, it’s hard to deny that Nola has pitched poorly for most of the...

A new series for the people
We’re introducing a new series here at The Good Phight. It’ll be called “Three up, Three Down” where we take a look at several players that had a good week for the Phillies and three that were....not great. It won’t just be limited to the Phillies in the majors either! There will likely be a few others thrown in as well, just for funsies.
Here we go!

It’s pretty obvious that the team is interested in...

It’s always trade szn, baby
We’re already starting with the trade deadline speculation as teams begin to crystallize their opinions about the biggest holes in the team. Usually, they’ll wait until around Memorial Day to truly determine what it is that their team needs, but in some case - the Phillies for example! - the needs that the team has are obvious. Now, we start to see national writers talking about whispers that they have heard.

Two good pitching outings?
That was nice to see from Aaron Nola. Justifiably the top pitching story of the night, Nola was great in his outing.
However, don’t let Jordan Romano being excellent as well go unnoticed. The team looks like they saw something they needed to fix in his delivery and got it corrected. He looked like he was able to utilize this velocity to throw a baseball past hitters, then build on that by fooling them with his slider. If pitch...

Trea Turner went 3-for-5 with two RBIs and Aaron Nola threw seven solid innings as the visiting Philadelphia Phillies defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-1 in 10 innings on Sunday.

A couple of vilified pitchers starred in an extra inning victory
There have been plenty of disappointments on the Phillies’ roster in 2025, but arguably none have been greater than pitchers Aaron Nola and Jordan Romano. But facing the Cubs on Sunday night, they showed signs that they can put their difficult first months behind them. Nola pitched seven strong innings, and Romano had a clean inning for the save, and...
Bryce Harper is currently in year seven of a monster deal he signed with the Philadelphia Phillies that will span 13 seasons. He signed this deal prior to the 2019 season, but at the time there was a lot of speculation that Harper could come to the North Side.

Sunday Night Baseball at Wrigley
After the Phillies’ offense woke up to the tune of ten runs on Saturday, they’ll face the Cubs in the rubber game of the series in a nationally televised Sunday Night Baseball game on ESPN.
Aaron Nola gets the start for the Phillies, and he’ll try to reverse the awful start to his season. He’s currently 0-5 with a 6.43 ERA.
Let's keep it...
What if Philadelphia Phillies All-Star first baseman Bryce Harper had signed with this team in free agency?
It’s easy to see why he would be an attractive candidate for teams looking for a closer.

Well, probably not. But bear with me for a moment.
Take a look at this clip:
Notice anything? It’s a nice-looking double, of course. And it’s off a good pitcher too; Robbie Ray is the real deal. That’s not enough to make the hit terribly interesting though. By all visible measures, it’s fairly routine. But there’s one not-entirely-visible aspect to it that makes it interesting: this was the second-hardest any Phillie has hit the ball this season.

The Philadelphia Phillies were starving for a victory before feasting on the Chicago Cubs' pitching on Saturday. Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola also is hungry for a win, and he'll look for his first of the season on Sunday night in the rubber match of a three-game series in Chicago.
