Rays do have fins. I checked.
Entering tonight’s affair, the Phillies had two streaks going: their inability to finish off would-be sweeps, and Kyle Schwarber’s on-base streak. At the end of the night, one streak stood, and the other had fallen.
Bryson Stott started the proceedings with a standup leadoff double, then scored with a pair of productive flyouts. But the Rays quickly tired it up with a Junior Caminero solo shot to the opposite field; while...
Philadelphia Phillies top pitching prospect Andrew Painter made his long-awaited Triple-A debut on Thursday.

The new Goose Gossage is here
In the days of yore, there was a species of pitcher that existed unlike anything that exists in the game today. Long before the days of Eckersley and Hoffman and Mo, there was Sparky and Goose and Rollie. These men were the closers of their day, able to go and put out fires sparked by the opposition, dousing them with their array of pitches and demeanor on the mound. They were filing the role as a proverbial “fireman”:...

It’s been a rough go of it for the young righty.
It’s hard to deny that Orion Kerkering has not performed the way that he or the Phillies want him to so far in 2025. The 24-year-old entered Wednesday sporting a 5.14 ERA across 16 appearances. Kerkering’s 1.64 WHIP ranks among the bottom of all qualified relievers and is coupled with a below average 20% strikeout rate.
His command hasn’t been there, his stuff has looked flat, and he’s allowed a...

Is Bryce Harper heating up?
The Phillies bats have started to come alive of late, but one notable exception has been Bryce Harper. The Phillies first baseman hasn’t been awful, but he hasn’t been anything close to his usual self either.
But it looks like things are starting to change. Harper has collected five hits in the last three games, but the most encouraging part is he’s starting to go the opposite way with those hits. That’s usually a...

It’s still early in the whole process
We have already done a mock draft roundup to begin this lovely draft season. High schools around the country are in the midst of their seasons as we speak, colleges are also in the thick of their seasons and that means scouts are able to get a lot of looks at multiple players that will be available for the choosing at All Star weekend.
Side note: why have they moved it there? I mean, I know why: they want it be an event...

A pitcher from the Bayou State came to town, and stayed for good.
Among all the acronyms deployed by baseball fans (a particularly acronym-loving people, it must be said), there’s one that carries a particular melancholy: TINSTAAPP. There Is No Such Thing As A Pitching Prospect. The latter half of that sounds rather like someone shouting “stop” in some sort of accent—STAPP! I hear it in the voice of a nasally New York gal; you may differ. However you hear it,...

Alec Bohm hit a home run last night. It was incredible. Nick Castellanos hit one too and Zack Wheeler pitched seven great innings. The Phillies look like they’re starting look like a contender. They’ve won seven of their last ten games and are playing normal baseball.
On to the news:
Phillies News Alec Bohm hit his first home run since September 20, 2024. He took a cutter to right field in a minor league stadium. So nice that it had to be mentioned twice....Think you can figure out what Phillies player we’re talking about? You’ll get five clues to figure him out.

Three home runs to the opposite field backed up 9 Ks from Zack Wheeler.
The Phillies launched three home runs, all to the opposite field, and collected 13 hits while Zack Wheeler cruised through 7 innings in an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Kyle Schwarber, Alec Bohm, and Nick Castellanos all went deep, with Castellanos’ shot to right field in the eighth inning breaking the game open. Wheeler finished 7 innings on just 84 pitches and struck out 9 Rays...
