Complete-game shutouts on back to back nights! Ranger Suarez in Philly last night, Tanner Houck in Boston tonight. (More of this, please.)
A CRAZY GAME! Cristopher Sanchez matches career-high 10 Ks with a 72% strike rate! ❤️🔥! Phillies take a lead early with a DoubleSchwarBomb & a Trea-o Tater, + key hits from Bohm, Marsh & JT. Plus Rojas XBH 🥹. But Rockies SCORE 5, & Alvarado has to notch 1-run save! #RingTheBell
@Faithofaphilli1 Thanks for that Jim Umbricht piece. '64 was the 1st year I collected Topps cards & when I got his I was mesmerized & saddened by the line on the back that said he had "passed away" in April 1974. I had no idea what that meant & I've remembered it ever since.
The 1938 Phillies were a very bad team, going 45-105-1. It was the only other year where they wore blue and yellow, celebrating the tercentenary of the Swedish settlement of the Delaware Valley. The club also abandoned National League Park in July and moved to Shibe Park.
It figures the season's first Phillies win was when I was at a different ballpark, but I am still so thrilled and also relieved! First Schwarbomb of Spring! Key hits from Bohm & Trea! Bullpen looks...better! We'll take it. #ringthebell
Happy 42nd birthday to #Phillies 2007 pitcher J.D. Durbin. The righty made 18 appearances (10 starts) here at age 25 with the NL East champs, and I'm not sure why. Maybe chasing his 7/22 complete game shutout at SDP: 5.15 ERA, 1.655 WHIP, 71 hits over 64.2 IP with a 39/36 K:BB.
Who is your personal favorite Cincinnati Reds LEFT-handed starting pitcher? I'm going Tom Browning as mine. First guy to my mind & an anchor of their rotation for quite awhile. I didn't see much of him as he broke his arm early in my watching years. So, HM to John Smiley.
The #Phillies held on to take a wild 14-13 decision over host Jays in the Grapefruit League opener at Dunedin. Multi-hit games for Johan Rojas, Kody Clemens, Weston Wilson, Scott Kingery, Aramis Garcia. Andrew Bellatti in 7th tossed the lone 1-2-3 pitching frame. #RingTheBell
Just now tuning in to archive of the first beautiful, blissful, meaningless Phillies game of 2024, because I was in Kenyon Review's winter fiction workshop this afternoon (taught by the brilliant @hmwendt!). But in honor of spring training, I do have a BRAND NEW PHILLIES PRINT:
As someone who frequently draws baseball players, please, please, please fix these pants. Also the jerseys. But especially the pants.
Can confirm that I would rather have a pitcher (either bullpen or 6th starter) but I don't hate this. Seems maybe expensive for utility guy, but I don't write the checks.
Can confirm that the Phillies have an agreement with Whit Merrifield. It's one year, $7 million with a club option for a second year that comes with a $1 million buyout ($8 million total).
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Ken Brett representing the Pirates in the All-Star Game. Rarity score 16.
Well this sucks
Phillis start life without Hoskins mlbreport.com/2024/02/philli…
Today is a big day. It is Toby Borland Day! It is the 42nd day of the calendar year so we honor the last #Phillies player to wear #42. I mean, The Relief Room honors Toby Borland every day but his one is for all of us.
To be clear, below tweet was not about Rhys Hoskins. I am happy for Brewers fans, genuinely! Also looking at retrospective pictures of Rhys Hoskins, and crying.
Well, if it isn't 2024's resolutions for a more positive outlook running straight into the buzzsaw of 2024 news
Had a fantastic first day recording @KeithOB's brilliant CHARLIE HUSTLE. His look at Pete Rose's life is fun but unflinching, and so beautifully written. O'Brien makes the case for Rose as a dividing line in baseball history, as he is among baseball fans A must-read!
