Renee Ramirez+FollowJhoan Duran’s first stumble as Phillies closerJhoan Duran finally showed he’s human, blowing his first save since joining the Phillies—but that doesn’t change how much he’s transformed the bullpen. After a nearly flawless run, Duran gave up the lead in the ninth against the Nationals, and a rare misfire from Realmuto sealed the loss. Even so, Duran’s numbers are still elite, and every closer, even legends, have off nights. Phillies fans, how are you feeling about Duran now? Does one tough outing shake your confidence, or are you still all-in as the playoff push heats up? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies01Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowPhils’ Wild Streak: Catcher’s Interference Magic?Is anyone else noticing how the Fightins keep cashing in on catcher’s interference? J.T. Realmuto got another free pass last night after a review, and that’s the third time in a month! Remember that wild walk-off last month? With more aggressive swings and catchers crowding the plate, this rare call is suddenly a real weapon for Philly. Are the Phils just lucky, or are they working the system? Let’s talk! #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowDid the Phillies Just Let a Gem Slip Away?Nabil Crismatt, once left to languish with the IronPigs, just showed the D-backs what the Phillies might be missing. The veteran righty tossed five solid innings in his Arizona debut, giving up just one run and striking out five. With King Zack sidelined, Philly fans have to wonder: did the front office drop the ball letting Crismatt walk? Could this under-the-radar move come back to bite us if our pitching depth gets tested down the stretch? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies170Share
terrysharon+FollowPhillies’ bullpen gamble pays off bigThe Phillies really dodged a bullet by not trading for Felix Bautista. While Bautista just landed on the shelf for at least a year after major shoulder surgery, Philly’s new closer Jhoan Duran has been lights out since joining the team—no runs allowed and perfect in save chances. It’s wild to think how different things could look if the front office had gone after Bautista instead. Right now, the bullpen feels more reliable than it has in years. Do you think Duran is the missing piece for a deep playoff run, or is there still room for concern? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies10Share
DriftDynamo+FollowSchwarber’s bat is straight-up nuclearKyle Schwarber just put the Phillies on his back and torched the Mariners—again! Five RBIs, a bomb, and now he’s leading the majors with 109 RBIs. Trea Turner’s five-hit day? Unreal. But let’s talk about Luzardo—12 Ks, zero walks, pure filth. The Fightins are rolling, and Seattle looked absolutely lost out there. How are we feeling about Schwarber’s MVP case after this rampage? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies110Share
Misty Brady+FollowZack Wheeler’s recovery: What it means for Phillies fansZack Wheeler just had a blood clot removed, but Phillies fans can breathe a little easier—doctors say he’s expected to make a full recovery and return to the mound. Dr. Thomas Sabalaske, a seasoned local physician, explained that while most people need 6 weeks to 3 months for a clot to dissolve, pro athletes like Wheeler could bounce back sooner with the right care. This news could be a huge relief for the team’s playoff hopes. How do you think Wheeler’s absence will impact the Phillies’ season? #Health #BodyHealth #Phillies52Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowSchwarber’s $150M contract buzz shakes PhillyKyle Schwarber’s next contract could hit a jaw-dropping $150 million, and it’s got Phillies fans on edge. With his power at the plate and leadership in the clubhouse, losing Schwarber would be a huge blow for Philadelphia—especially as the team fights to stay on top of the NL East. Even Bryce Harper admits it would feel strange without Schwarber around. The big question: Will the Phillies pay up to keep their star slugger, or will another team swoop in? This could be one of the biggest off-season stories. What do you think—should the Phillies break the bank to keep Schwarber? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies3534Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowPhillies fans face tough Zack Wheeler updateZack Wheeler’s return to the Phillies this season is a complete mystery after his recent blood clot procedure. Manager Rob Thomson couldn’t say if Wheeler will pitch again this year—or even if his career is at risk. It’s a tough pill for Phillies fans, but focusing on the healthy rotation is key right now. With a strong lead in the NL East and a solid pitching lineup, the team still has a fighting chance. Wheeler’s health comes first, and patience is the only play. How are you feeling about the Phillies’ chances without their ace? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies66Share
Kimberly Moore+FollowPhillies’ playoff hopes shaken by Wheeler’s health scareZack Wheeler’s sudden move to the 15-day IL with a blood clot has sent shockwaves through the Phillies community. The ace’s 2.71 ERA was a huge part of the team’s success, and now the pressure is on the rest of the rotation to step up. While Ranger Suarez and Christopher Sanchez are ready to fill the gap, fans are left wondering how this will impact the Phillies’ playoff run. More importantly, everyone’s rooting for Wheeler’s recovery—his health comes first, and baseball just isn’t the same without him. How do you think the team will respond? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowPhillies fans: Is it time for Justin Crawford?Justin Crawford keeps lighting up Triple-A with a .332 average and 38 stolen bases, yet the Phillies still haven’t called him up. With MLB’s rookie eligibility rules no longer an excuse, what’s really holding the team back? Crawford’s speed and bat could be game-changers, especially with the outfield struggling and September roster expansion around the corner. Would giving him a shot now help the Phillies’ playoff push, or is more seasoning in the minors the right call? Let’s hear your take: is it time for Crawford in Philly? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
