Phillies’ momentum comes to a halt in 4-2 loss to Braves

PHILADELPHIA — At their lowest point, on June 2, the Phillies were 25-32 and eight games out of first place. Then they went on a 13-2 roll, and when the week began, they were ... eight games out of first place.

PHILADELPHIA — It’s never a good sign when a position player takes the mound. And on Friday night, in the ninth inning of a 10-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs, Phillies infielder Kody Clemens took the ball from Andrew Bellatti. It was not a quick and painless outing. Clemens was…

It isn’t the World Cup, but for Phillies pitcher and soccer fanatic Ranger Suárez, the WBC was too good to pass up

David Murphy: Three thoughts on three big Phillies spring training questions (beyond Andrew Painter)

Let’s not kid ourselves. The biggest story of Phillies spring training is the 19-year-old who could end up in the starting rotation when the season opens March 30. But, then, you knew that. So, let’s give Andrew Painter a break and take a look at the three other plot lines…

David Murphy: Phillies’ 2023 rotation will depend on attrition (Wheeler/Nola), an addition (Painter), and a Suárez breakout

Mike Sielski: Phillies’ Game 4 loss to Astros has put them in a pitching pickle in this World Series

PHILADELPHIA —Aaron Nola left Game 4 of the World Series on Wednesday in the fifth inning, having not allowed a run. Funny, how a sentence can be factually accurate yet convey nothing close to the proper context of a situation, of this tenuous situation that the Phillies now face. Yes,…

The Astros Benefit From the Rainout Just as Much as the Phillies

The immediate takeaway from last night’s rainout is that the postponement benefits the Phillies, who get an extra day of rest for their pitching staff, which isn’t as deep as that of the Astros. Ranger Suárez and Aaron Nola are still scheduled to pitch tonight and tomorrow night, as was…

Phillies will have to ride big bats if they are to win the World Series

All along, the Phillies liked their chances in any postseason series, against any team, provided they were able to start Zack Wheeler and Aaron Nola in the first two games. It’s what makes them dangerous. It’s probably the biggest reason they won the pennant.
