Catherine Reeves+FollowWill the Phillies Keep Schwarb Bombs Flying?Phils fans, what do you think about the front office moving to lock up Kyle Schwarber long-term? The big man’s been crushing it at the plate and is a clubhouse leader, but with extension talks stalling earlier, it looked dicey. Now, reports say the Fightins are ready to make a serious offer to keep Schwarb bombs in Philly for years. Can you imagine this lineup without him? Would you go all-in to keep him, even as he hits his mid-30s? #RingTheBell #Phillies #KyleSchwarber #MLB #PhillySports #Sports00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowMick Abel's Rise: Painter's Path Blocked?Philly fans, what do you make of Mick Abel’s sudden surge? The Fightins’ have a rotation stacked with All-Stars, and now Abel’s Triple-A dominance (2.75 ERA!) has Dave Dombrowski saying he’d call him up in a heartbeat. With King Cole-level hype around Andrew Painter’s return from Tommy John, does Abel’s breakout delay Painter’s MLB debut? Or is this just a good problem for the Phils? Let’s hear your takes on the Abel vs. Painter debate! #RingTheBell #Phillies #MLBProspects #MickAbel #AndrewPainter #Sports00Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowStott Steps Up as Phillies’ New Leadoff GuyLooks like Rob Thomson is shaking things up at the top of the Phillies lineup! After years of Schwarber and Trea Turner trading off, Bryson Stott is now getting his shot as the leadoff man—and he’s making the most of it. With a .270 average and a .321 OBP in the role, Stott’s consistency is hard to ignore. Thomson says it’s all about getting on base, and Stott’s proving he belongs. Could this be the move that sparks the Phils’ offense on this road trip? #Phillies #BrysonStott #MLB #LeadoffDebate #RingTheBell #Sports00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowIs The Painter Era About to Begin in Philly?Fellow Phils fans, is it finally time for Andrew Painter to make his big league debut? The club’s No. 1 prospect is set for his first Triple-A start, and with the Fightins chasing the Mets in the NL East, the timing couldn’t be better. Painter’s arsenal is electric—triple-digit heat and a nasty slider. After Tommy John last year, he’s looking sharp and could be the X-factor in our rotation down the stretch. How soon do you want to see him in red pinstripes? #RingTheBell #Phillies #AndrewPainter #MLBProspects #Sports30Share
