Those that stayed awake Saturday night into Sunday morning were treated to one of the best Phillies games of the year. Those that didn't get to read about it. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Johan Rojas' eureka moment leads Phillies in Sacramento opener www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/mlb-...

That Romano linsanity run was fun.

Mason Miller doing his future team a solid by driving his price down

Zack Wheeler: Yanking every fastball glove side. Also Zack Wheeler: Has that nasty sweeper moving away to righties and four shutout innings against the A’s.

Bryce Harper's stats through 50 games mirror the start of his 2021 MVP season. Could we see another MVP-caliber season from Bryce? 👀

For those that can stay awake, Scott Franzke is shifting to the TV booth for tonight's Phillies vs. A's game. Murph will be on the radio call. @franzkela.bsky.social www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Congrats to Jean Segura, whose agency announced his retirement on Wednesday. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Paul Skenes knew Mick Abel as “the guy” coming out of high school. Abel looked like the star the Phillies dreamed he would be in his MLB debut against the Pirates’ phenom. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Paul Skenes laughed when I asked him what he thought of Mick Abel. He does not stay in the dugout between innings, but he was "fired up" to pitch against Abel, who he played against growing up. On Mick Abel's fantastic debut that opened some eyes. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

“If he dies, he dies,” Drago to the Phanatic.

I was a freshman in college the last time Aaron Nola missed a start due to injury. It's remarkable that his streak of durability has lasted this long. Maybe this will benefit him in the long run. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Paul Skenes is listed as the probable starting pitcher for the Pirates in the Sunday finale against the Phillies. Why we’re all in for a treat. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Aaron Nola hosted a charity poker tournament tonight at Citizens Bank Park, and Phillies Nation’s Madeline Ressler was there to capture all the action. Check out all the photos in the thread below! ♣️🧵 📸: Madeline Ressler/Phillies Nation

It may be easier to talk about struggling when you're on top of the world, but Kyle Schwarber did provide some great perspective on what Bryce Harper is going through. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

The good, bad and notable numbers from the Phillies' new primary leadoff hitter, Bryson Stott. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Double duty: Phillies announce their starters for Wednesday www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

Kyle Schwarber has just extended his on-base streak to 46, surpassing Odubel Herrera for the 4th longest on-base streak in franchise history.

Max Kepler doubled to drive home a pair of runs on Saturday in a win against the Guardians. Phillies hitting coach Kevin Long recently spoke about his impressions of Kepler before the team signed him to a 1-year deal, and the work behind the scenes to get him back to his A swing.

In December, Kevin Long took a short trip to check out a free agent hitter. "Just ripped and shredded and tall and built." The Phillies signed Max Kepler two days later. On the adjustments he has made to achieve some early success with the Phillies. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

I really hate watching major league games in minor league parks.

Guess the attendance: Phillies relievers have a new game in the bullpen. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/what...

Phillies OPS leaderboard. Kyle Schwarber is way ahead of everyone.

Thought it was interesting to hear Kyle Schwarber describe left on left matchups as a “stigma.” He has a 1.295 OPS against lefties. The stigma will continue to follow around someone like Max Kepler, but he did come through in a big spot against a lefty. www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

I’m very tempted to say that the Phillies are winning this game.

The Nats not getting the first pick the year Paul Skenes was in the draft is a brutal break. Washington has no notable No. 1 picks in their history.

The Nats scored three unearned runs in the sixth inning.

Ranger Suárez ready to begin what could be the final chapter of his Phillies career www.philliesnation.com/2025/05/phil...

He’s had very little playing time, but Rafael Marchan is 2-for-17 with four walks so far this season.

Good morning. It’s May.

Mildly annoyed when there is multiple walk-up song changes when I’m not there.

Fightin' their way to another W tonight. 🆚: Washington Nationals 🏟️: Citizens Bank Park ⏰: 6:45PM ET 📺: NBCSP 📻: 94 WIP, WTTM 1680 📸: Madeline Ressler/Phillies Nation

Thought it was interesting that Trea Turner said last night that he needs to be a “complete player.” He has been that guy in the past, but what does that look like now? www.philliesnation.com/2025/04/phil...

Bryce’s walk-ups are always legendary 🎶

Love someone the way David Cone loves Aaron Nola.

Bryson Stott swung at the first pitch 🚨🚨

Very unfortunate sequence for Nola. That ball was way out of the zone. Dude cannot catch a break.

Did I just hear Tommy Edman and the Dodgers?

Feels like J.T. has had some brutal luck at the plate this year.

The Ben Brown trade hurts in hindsight, but it doesn’t sting nearly as much as PCA for Javier Baez.

Where are you guys at with the Phillies? Is this just a bad week or have you lost all hope?

This is BRUTAL

Some rain delay reading. With Weston Wilson off the IL, the Phillies are basically running a Kepler-Wilson platoon in left field. It’s probably the best solution moving forward for the struggling Phillies lineup. Just please don’t call it a platoon. www.philliesnation.com/2025/04/phil...
