How will a change in leadership impact a crucial Phillies offseason?

In a shocking turn of events, ex-Phillies general manager Matt Klentak has decided to resign from his position.

Who stays and who goes in the Phillies outfield this offseason?

As another failed season ends, it is time to look ahead and ask the question: who should stay on this Phillies roster for 2021?

Rainy Day Recaps: What we learned in the Phillies’ loss to Yankees

Have you ever heard the old cliche “When it rains, it pours?” No truer words could have been said for the Phillies’ season restart against the Yankees last night.

When the Phillies reported to Summer Camp last week, they came with a 53-man roster. The roster, consisting of 31 pitchers, three catchers, 10 infielders, and nine outfielders, has enjoyed their fun in the sun as they prepare for the season.

The Phillies suddenly have a left field competition

Joe Girardi dropped a minor bombshell on Friday, revealing that Andrew McCutchen will not be ready for opening day. As Dean Martin once said, “Ain’t that a kick in the head?”.

Just when you thought it was all over, the Phillies pull you back in for one last rodeo

The debate has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Should the Phillies try and re-sign Corey Dickerson? Several issues come up in this discussion. Firstly, the Phillies already have several outfielders under control. Andrew McCutchen, Jay Bruce, Bryce Harper, Adam Haseley, and partly Scott Kingery are all under control in 2020. There would […]

Bad managerial decisions are starting to haunt the Phillies

Not a day after posting an article praising Gabe Kapler for good managing, I must flip flop. Like a politician come election time, I must retract a previous statement on Kapler. Kapler screwed this game up. Play-by-play announcer Tom McCarthy was openly critical of his moves during the game. Apparently so were the radio announcers: […]
