Marcus Hayes: Bad teammates J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm are unvaccinated, but the Phillies won’t miss them

Since Joe Girardi got fired, everything’s gone right for interim manager Rob Thomson. Two starters and an MVP got hurt, but the team kept on winning. Now the Phillies have a COVID vaccination crisis looming in the Great White North, but it looks like they’ll be cool.

Marcus Hayes: Underappreciated ace Zack Wheeler: Best starter in baseball? Most important Phillies player?

The Phillies faced their biggest game in recent memory Sunday night. The visiting Cardinals sat just ahead of them in the playoff race, and they’d split the first two games of the weekend series.

Phillies move closer to a playoff spot with 4-0 win over Cardinals

It was July 3, too soon by any reasonable measure for scoreboard watching. But it was also Sunday Night Baseball, the last game of the day, so the opportunity facing the Phillies was hard to miss.

Phillies cruise to 10-1 victory vs. Nationals

WASHINGTON — If you’re feeling a surge of optimism over the Phillies’ chances of finally returning to the playoffs, it’s probably because they’ve reeled off 11 wins in 13 games since firing the manager. Or maybe it’s because they’re averaging 6.4 runs per game in June.

Phillies win 9th straight as Thomson’s magical run continues

PHILADELPHIA — Matt Vierling hadn’t played second base in a game before. Not in high school. Not in Little League. Never. But there he was, playing second base for nine innings of a major league game Saturday.

Zack Wheeler’s right arm and a dead baseball help Phillies hold off Padres, 3-0

It was the hardest-hit ball of the night, but the fly ball that San Diego’s Eric Hosmer rocketed Wednesday night at Citizens Bank Park hardly made it to the warning track. He held his bat outward after connecting with Zack Wheeler’s fastball in the seventh inning of the Phillies’ 3-0…

Despite an improved Zach Wheeler outing, Phillies fall to Brewers, 5-3

PHILADELPHIA — Zack Wheeler has not looked like Zack Wheeler of late. In his first two outings of the regular season he was unable to pitch past the fifth inning. His velocity was down, which isn’t ideal for a power pitcher who relies primarily on his fastball. The Zack Wheeler…
