Bryce Harper broke his thumb on Saturday after being hit by an up-and-in fastball by Blake Snell, but the Phillies were able to win the 4-game set in San Diego. How will Nick Castellanos rise to the occasion in the DH role? How will the offense step up to fill the void? Who will the Phillies pursue at the deadline? Will Trea Turner join Philadelphia next season?

The Phillies won their 4th straight series by walking it off against Miami on Wednesday. They sit 11-2 in June and head to Washington for a five-game set.

The Phillies fired Joe Girardi on Friday but have since swept the Angels after an offensive outburst and some clutch hitting by the Vegas Boys. Didi returns to the lineup but Segura, Camargo, and Maton are out. 

Aaron Nola struck out ten in 8.1 innings to split the Phillies first season series with Atlanta. The Phils should have taken 3 of 4, but a familiarly bad bullpen performance blew the save in game 3. Quick Eagles draft recap and five seconds on the Sixers and Flyers.

Rob Manfred officially cancelled the first two series of the MLB season after the league and MLBPA failed to reach an agreement on the CBA. The league is 100% to blame.  James Harden is still legit.

Daryl Morey has traded Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and picks to the Nets for James Harden. Rob Manfred finally held a press conference about the lockout.

The owners don't seem to be negotiating with the MLBPA. Claude Giroux is hot. Ben Simmons remains in trade rumor purgatory while the Sixers continue to win. Tanking and racism in the NFL?

David Ortiz has been inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame while Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are snubbed once again. Updates on the Eagles, Flyers (yuck) and Sixers.

MLB and the MLBPA met and liked each other so much, they scheduled a second date tomorrow. Who will the Phillies sign once the lockout ends?

Braves won the WS, Harper takes home a ton of hardware, Zack Wheeler was kinda snubbed, and billions of dollars have already been shelled out in free agency. Who will the Phillies sign to improve their outfield and bullpen?

Phillies hire new hitting coach, I give my report card for the Phillies 2021 starting infield (Bohm, Didi, Segura, Hoskins)

The Phillies miss the playoffs for the 10th year in a row. I share my individual award picks and postseason predictions.
