The #Phillies have pitched 3 team shutouts in the last 4 games. They've only done that one other time since 1970: May 28-31, 1986, at home... 5/28 (Giants), Shane Rawley CG 5/30 (Padres), Kevin Gross CG 5/31 (Padres), Charles Hudson 7 IP, Steve Bedrosian 2 __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

Baseball stats, trivia, and other useless info, mostly about the Phillies.
I now embrace my baseball team - The Philadelphia Phillies - as the team of chaos and entropy. Their defense doesn't make sense, their lineup will follow no prototype, and they're one top SP injury away from the whole thing dissolving. Time for two months of white knuckles.
It’s Tuesday again, and we’re back here… ↔️ Even-Steven in HRs over the #Phillies’ history __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social
With the Field of Dreams game just 10 days away… ✅ Derek Hill becomes the first Phillie born in Iowa to hit 5 HRs in a season in 111 years (Dave Bancroft, 1915) __ #Phillies @thegoodphight.bsky.social
Tonight’s HR is the 130th of Bryce Harper's career at CBP… ✅ He passes Chase Utley for 2nd most in the park’s history. __ #Phillies @thegoodphight.bsky.social
Derek Hill’s grand slam last night was the #Phillies’ first since a year ago today — 162 games without one. That was their longest period without a grand slam in 28 years, which was also 162 games. They’ve only had 5 longer droughts in the last 70 years. __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

I think there are some wild overreactions to Painter pitching today. I don’t really see how this is some disaster for his development or how this is actually a showcase
MLB strikeout leaders this year: #1 -- Schwarber: 157 -- on pace for 233 #2 -- Neto: 149 -- on pace for 221 The MLB record is 224, so Schwarber is on pace to break it, and Neto may also do it. __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social
Passan: Phillies have had conversations with the Angels about Zach Neto.
They have Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Jesus Luzardo, Bryce Harper, and Cristopher Sanchez signed through 2030 at least, they aren't fucking tearing it down. Also the 2014-2020 years were fucking miserable, you don't actually want it. You just want blood from someone.
But they should tear the team down. Pull the plug! We can’t compete, lockout is imminent and our farm system sucks
So here is the thing, I will plug the thing I wrote today (philliesminorthoughts.com/july-2026-ph...), what is all-in because there is trading Gage Wood or Ramon Marquez, but Francisco Renteria is quite literally the highest upside hitter they have had in well over a decade.

Unfortunately, the Phils still need to go all-in on the deadline. You’re locked into this roster and frankly the farm system just isn’t good enough to have worry about “wasting” it. Make the biggest swing you can and hope it shakes things up enough to get something working again.
The #Phillies have had five 1-0 games already this year, winning 2 and losing 3. It's only the 4th year since 2007 that they've lost at least three 1-0 games. Also… ✅ their next 1-0 game will be the 500th in their long history 247-252 record all-time __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social
The Phillies are not going to sell. They are going to add. But think in terms much closer to ‘23 (Michael Lorenzen and Rodolfo Castro) than ‘25

The #Phillies, who start a series in Miami tonight, haven’t lost any of their last 10 series against the Marlins. It's the 10th time in the last 60 years that they've had a 10+ series unbeaten streak against an opponent. __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

Prior to Bryan De La Cruz, all other #Phillies who homered while wearing #41: Yairo Munoz*, 2022 - 3 Carlos Santana, 2018 - 24 Brock Stassi, 2017 - 2 Jimmy Paredes, 2016 - 4 Billy McMillon, 1997 - 2 Jim Lonborg, 1974 - 1 Vance Dinges, 1946 - 1 *who? __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social
The #Phillies have hit 92 HRs on this date, including 2 walk-offs, 20 years apart, by arguably the two best position players in franchise history. The Phils were in their 19th season and had already hit 642 HRs before they hit one on 7/22, in 1901 (by Ed Delahanty). __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social
Last night the #Phillies won their 1,000th regular season game at the Bank. Including the postseason, only 4 teams have won more home games since CBP opened in 2004. And only two teams have won more games in the same park over that time (Dodgers, Red Sox). __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social
Harper’s 200th as a Phil: ✅ He’s the 12th player in franchise history to hit 200. ✅ The #Phillies are only the 2nd team to have 12 players with 200+. (Yankees have 18) __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

Kyle Schwarber leads MLB with 32 HRs. ✅ 17 of the 32 have been Solo shots (53.1%) ✅ that’s the 2nd lowest % among the 13 leading HR hitters __ #Phillies @thegoodphight.bsky.social
For everyone that used to say Rob Thomson was asleep at the wheel, this is what that actually looks like
The only thing making the idea of Alex Cora as manager appealing is Don Mattingly
