Timothy Huff MD+FollowPhillies vs Mets: Bohm’s glare complaint sparks chaosAlec Bohm’s complaint about a glare at Citi Field led to a nearly 20-minute delay, just as the Phillies were in a tight division race with the Mets. What’s wild is that the equipment causing the glare has been there since 2017! Instead of staying focused, the Phillies lost momentum and gave up 10 straight runs, fueling conspiracy chatter and broadcaster frustration. Both teams played under the same conditions, but this distraction cost Philly big time. Is this just bad timing, or are the Phillies finding new ways to make things harder for themselves? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowZack Wheeler’s surgery brings hope for PhilliesZack Wheeler’s upcoming surgery isn’t the career-ending scenario Phillies fans feared. He’s dealing with venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS), which, while serious, has a much better recovery outlook than the nerve-related version that’s ended other pitchers’ careers. Wheeler will miss the 2025 season, but doctors and team officials are optimistic he’ll return to his old form after 6-8 months of recovery. This is a huge relief for both Wheeler and the Phillies community. What do you think—will Wheeler bounce back and dominate again? Let’s talk about it! #Sports #Baseball #Phillies40Share
jillian59+FollowPhillies stars smashing expectations this seasonKyle Schwarber and Jesus Luzardo have completely flipped the script for the Phillies this year. Schwarber isn’t just hitting home runs—he’s doing it with a higher average and more consistency than anyone predicted, already blowing past his preseason stats. Luzardo, despite some rough patches, has also outperformed what most thought possible, stepping up big time when the team needed it most. With the NL East title in sight, these two are proving that projections don’t always tell the whole story. What do you think has fueled their standout seasons? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies30Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowWhy Phillies should stick with RealmutoLosing J.T. Realmuto could shake up the Phillies’ future, but trading for Adley Rutschman isn’t the answer—even with the Orioles’ recent moves. Rutschman’s early promise has faded due to injuries and declining performance, making him a risky bet for a team aiming for a World Series run. Realmuto, despite his age, is showing he’s still got it both at the plate and behind it. The smarter play? Do what it takes to keep Realmuto around while planning for a long-term solution. What’s your take—should the Phillies gamble on Rutschman or double down on Realmuto? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies10Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowMax Kepler’s hot streak has Phillies fans rethinkingMax Kepler looked like a bust for most of the season, but suddenly he’s on fire in August—hitting .343 with power and helping fuel the Phillies’ offense. After months of frustration and criticism, some fans are wondering if it’s time to give him another chance. Still, it’s a small sample, and one good month can’t erase a rough year. Will Kepler keep it up and win over Philly by playoff time, or is this just a blip? Everyone’s got an opinion—where do you stand on Kepler’s comeback? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies204Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowSchwarbombs Needed: Phillies Face Life Without WheelerTough news for the Fightins—Zack Wheeler’s season is over after surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. With the ace sidelined, Kyle Schwarber (aka Schwarbomb) stepped up postgame, rallying the squad to fill the gap together. The Phillies will need everyone, from Bryce to Nola, to recreate Wheeler’s impact in the aggregate. Nola showed promise in his latest start, but can he keep it up? This could make or break our World Series dreams. #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
terrysharon+FollowWho should the Phillies call up in September?September roster expansion is almost here, and the Phillies have some standout minor leaguers who could make a real impact. Alan Rangel’s solid pitching and Max Lazar’s resilience make them strong bullpen options, while Garrett Stubbs’ energy and recent hot streak could boost team morale. Keaton Anthony’s consistent hitting and Justin Crawford’s speed and on-base skills are hard to ignore, even if their power isn’t fully there yet. With only two spots up for grabs, who do you think deserves a shot at the big leagues? Which call-up could make the biggest difference for the Phillies’ playoff push? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies15Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowAidan Miller’s hot streak has Phillies fans buzzingAidan Miller is on fire right now for Double-A Reading, and it’s turning heads across the Phillies community. The 21-year-old shortstop has been racking up hits, launching home runs, and swiping bases at a pace nobody saw coming—47 steals this season! His recent surge at the plate, including a couple of monster games, has people wondering if he’s about to get bumped up to Triple-A before the season ends. Miller’s work ethic and ability to bounce back from slumps make his rise even more exciting. Could we be watching the next Phillies star in the making? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies63Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowHow the Phillies can fix their outfield chaosThe Phillies’ outfield shuffle is costing them big time, and it’s clear what needs to change: set roles and smart platoons. Harrison Bader should be locked in as the everyday center fielder—his defense and potential at the plate are too valuable to waste. Meanwhile, left and right field need true platoons to keep bats hot and defense sharp. Max Kepler and Brandon Marsh thrive in specific matchups, but rotating them without a plan is throwing everyone off. If Rob Thomson commits to these moves, the Phillies could finally find the consistency they need for a serious World Series run. What do you think—should the team shake up the lineup? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies10Share
