Phillies' bullpen is an issue — but how big an issue is it really?

by Evan Macy

Two of the Phils' three losses are directly the bullpen's fault. The unit also has seen six different pitchers on the mound for end of game situations in the ninth (or 10th) innings — for save and non save situations.

Get used to the Phillies stranding tons of baserunners this season

by Evan Macy

The Phillies are going to strand runners this year. That's just an unavoidable fact. With a lineup loaded from top to bottom, Philadelphia already has a ridiculous on base percentage through seven ballgames, and even though they've dropped two of their last three (after a 4-0 start), it's not for a lack of offensive chances.

by Evan Macy

After an epic run of four straight wins — becoming the first Phils team to reach that mark in over 100 years and the only remaining unbeaten in MLB — Philadelphia sort of looked like the weakness-laden team from a year ago.

MLB Rumors: Phillies could benefit from adding free agent Craig Kimbrel — and keeping him away from rivals

by Evan Macy

Craig Kimbrel, an ace closer, and Dallas Keuchel, a former Cy Young award winner still have no team. They are staying shape and would each be potent additions to a team come May.

New-look Phillies have swag, confidence and choreographed celebrations

by Evan Macy

It's only been one game, but it's pretty clear that the 2019 Phillies have already picked their motto for the 2019 season. "Pick your poison."

Instant observations: Returning players make statement in Phillies' Opening Day win over Braves

by Evan Macy

With all the headlines being made by the Phillies huge offseason acquisitions, it was core from 2018 who made the difference in this one. The line up is deep — super deep — with almost a second top of the order in the 6-7 and 8 spots in the lineup, spots that were pivotal in the victory.
