“You see some of these other guys? Castellanos? Strahm? Bader? Walker?” Vic Fangio says Rob Thomson deserves more credit for getting the Phillies to the playoffs in the past with these players.
Luis Arraez will wear No. 4 for the Phillies.
DEREK HILL GRAND SLAM. SCOTT FRANZKE. Franzke: Phillies don't have a grand slam still yet this season LA: Now would be a good time
By adding Luiz Arráez at the MLB trade deadline, the Phillies were forced to reshuffle their defense for him to play second base. But did they consider moving Trea Turner, who entered Monday night with 18 errors, off shortstop? Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski says no.
Derek Hill has had more big moments than anyone else on the Phillies his year, which is not great overall but very cool for him
At this rate, the Phillies need Arraez to hit .450 the rest of the year. Because the defense will be…interesting!
Matt Gelb@mattgelb.bsky.social · 2d agoDon Mattingly said the plan is for Bryce Harper to play RF, Alec Bohm to play 1B and Bryson Stott to be at 3B. Luis Arraez will be here Tuesday. Mattingly said the Phillies will have to “ease” Harper into right field, and it’s unclear how they will do that.
Andrew Painter is through six innings. He walked three, but struck out six and kept the Orioles off the board after the first inning. Hard to think this would change their deadline strategy, but he did a good job.
Vic Fangio’s press conference not yet half finished and he’s already invoked Fauci as a synonym for ducking the question and stumped for Pete Rose as the best sports signing in Philly history. Welcome to Training Camp.
As a fellow dad runner, I respect Kirk Cousins here. As a football enjoyer, I’m concerned for his safety and well being.
Happy first day of camp. Vibes are high. So is the hair.
Meet Joey Abel, the Delco native who sunburned LeBron into his back. He was in Sea Isle when the idea occurred to him. “I was like, ‘How can I get a LeBron James jersey as fast as possible?’ And that’s where my mind went.” Abel has no plans to apply aloe vera: www.inquirer.com/sixers/meet-...

Shane McNichol@ontheshanetrain.bsky.social · last wk.Jeff Lurie paying like $400 million to guys named Jalen
The Eagles have signed Jalen Carter to a new 4 year deal worth $152 million. $106 million guaranteed according to ESPN. Highest paid D-tackle in history.
Phillies defense has go to be kidding.
Been seeing a lot of chatter about Joel Embiid not posting to social media... I was told that Joel played a sizable role in getting LeBron to Philadelphia. And dont misconstrue it because he hasn't gone to social media about it. Obviously they played together on Team USA.
can’t believe this is my life. Lebron to Philly‼️
Joey Votto: 7,000 words about what Bryce Harper is looking for on the next pitch John Kruk: "Have you ever eaten funnel cake out of a shoe?"
The other night at the ballpark I watched John Kruk have a conversation with Mark Hoppus from Blink-182. Just absolutely fascinating. I wish I'd recorded some of it.
