I’m going to treat this Dombrowski offseason like a plate appearance. Bringing back Don Mattingly puts him down in the count, 0-1.

The biggest takeaway from the press conference is that I feel better about the Phillies today than I did two days ago.

How much did the relation between Preston Mattingly and Don Mattingly weigh on this decision?

They have to bring somebody from the outside in to manage.

The script just came across my desk. Phillies vs Red Sox World Series. Champions: Philadelphia Phillies.

This is the oddest post of all time.

Phillies Strikeouts vs Brandon Pfaadt: 2023 NLCS Game 3: 9 K in 5.2 IP 2023 NLCS Game 7: 7 K in 4.0 IP May 2025: 6 K in 4.2 IP April 2026: 6 K in 6.0 IP Last Night: 1 K in 6.0 IP

While all of our eyes are on the NL East Division title, the Phillies are now tied with the Cubs for the top Wild Card spot.

Alex McFarlane ahead of Orion Kerkering on the totem pole? More, please.

Derek Hill leaves a mark on every game.

The Phillies are about to enter the postseason with the clutchest bench they’ve had at any point during this entire run dating back to 2022.

This team is never out of it. No denying that.

Everyone who stayed up tonight deserves this game.

This may be recency bias, but Anthony Contreras’ mistakes at third base seem to be piling up.

Fact: That walk-off HR that Schwarber just hit definitely traveled farther than any metric will tell you.
