Yo, all you other
@MLB
teams and fan bases. This is what a Tuesday night in Philly during the school year is like for a random inter-league game. Eat your hearts out.
RIP

20-year-old pitching prospect Corey Phelan, who passed away following a battle with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. At age 18 in 2021, he went 1-0, 0.93 ERA, 1.138 WHIP in 9.2 IP over five games. 🙏🏻⚾️❤️

Might get tired of watching this at-bat one day. Some day. Maybe. Well. Uh. Okay. Probably not. Nope. Never gonna get tired of it. Legitimate

history.
Never understand any Philly fan who would “hate” Tom Brady, or actively root against the 🐐 unless playing the Birds. Yeah, he beat us in a Super Bowl 19 years ago. We got even five years ago. It’s not even a close call in rooting for him over Dallas. Not. Even. Close.

1B Ryan Howard, 2B Chase Utley, SS Jimmy Rollins set a new National League record by starting their 887th game together as an infield trio.
Is it possible that
#Phillies
fans stepping up and embracing Trea with love and support has lit his fire? Remember Bohm last year? Yo…how about a standing ‘O’ for Nola next outing?
Nick Castellanos’ hustle and defensive play, along with his offensive production history prior to this year, has earned him a pass from me and a do-over in 2023. I’d bet he’ll have a big season with the bat.
Justin Crawford (L) and Aidan Miller (R) are the
#Phillies
top two organizational position player prospects. The two 20-year-olds receive some exciting news.
That Stott gem was soooo massive. Absolutely crushed Arizona momentum. Allowed Wheeler to get through seven. Kept the pen needing just six outs. Massive. Kid is something special.

The
@Phillies
reuniting with shortstop Didi Gregorius with a one-year deal (with second year option) or straight two-year deal appears to be getting close. Could finalize within days.

Andrew Painter threw 15 pitches to hitters in Clearwater on Wednesday, first time with hitters in the box since his surgery nearly 14 months ago. The 21-year-old righty sat 97-98 mph, even hitting 99. Should continue slowly progressing towards a normal 2025 spring training.

Uhhhh…seems like one of our

good old boys might have enjoyed a one-nighter with a bit of a psycho (is there any other kind) stalker groupie. Usually not the best idea.

As this final
@Phillies
home game winds down, let’s all be sure to wish
@GmurphNBCS

Happy 58th birthday to Ruben Amaro Jr! ‘Rube’ has served the organization in many capacities over a half-century, from batboy to player, from GM to broadcaster, and other roles in between. Also, a happy 58th to 1990 pitcher Dennis Springer.

Yo
@Phillies

OTD 2019:

OTD 1957:
#Phillies
center fielder Richie Ashburn hits a fan, Alice Roth, with a foul ball twice. The first broke her nose. Medical staff attended and as she was being removed on a stretcher, the game resumed. 'Whitey' lined the very next pitch at her again, breaking her leg.
Cannot say enough about what these two worked for the
#Phillies
tonight. Fantastic pitch-and-catch performance while the game was still tight.

#Phillies
second-ever World Series crown in 2008.
@CMBaseball41
I’m not going to say that Trea Turner is better than Bryce Harper. What I am going to say is that this is going to go down as one of the greatest and most beloved 1-2 punches in the history of the
#Phillies
franchise.
