Phillies sneak past Jays, 3-2, with only 4 hits. First 2 runs scored with this 2-out sequence: BB, BB, HBP, BB, HBP. Last out came when C tagged JT on a near wild pitch. Cristopher Sanchez was brilliant for 7. Kerkering got win when Kepler HRed in 8th. Strahm needed only 7 pitches to notch save.

Phils shut out Jays, 8-0. Ranger Suarez brilliant for 7 innings, w/ 4 H, 1 BB, 6 K. 3R Schwarbomb in 2nd. Marsh 2 RBI. Kemp 2 H, first MLB RBI. Last 2 games feel like a different team than one that lost 10 of 12. Bullpen, defense, OF offense remain huge issues. Deadline moves will be key!

Phillies beat Cubs, 7-2. Jesus Luzardo, who had given up 8 earned in 2.1 last time and 12 earned in 3.1 the time before, got back on track w/ 1 earned in 6, w/ only 5 H and 0 BB. Alec Bohm drove in 4 runs, Schwarber hit a HR, Kepler and JT had RBI. Taking 2 of 3 from Cubs was a pleasant surprise.

Ugh. Brian Wilson, the leader of The Beach Boys and the man who inspired The Beatles to make Sgt. Pepper’s, has died at 82. Brian had many challenges, but his songs “Good Vibrations”, “God Only Knows,” “Fun, Fun, Fun,” and “Surfer Girl” defined a generation. RIP. apple.news/AupSXwc12Rpy...

The Phillies lost an ugly game to the Cubs, 8-4. Mick Abel was not great, giving up 3 solo HRs over 4 innings. But Phils had a 4-3 lead after 5. Walker, Ross and Hernandez gave up 5 runs to lose the game. Offense sputtered again. Phils have too many issues (bullpen, OF, D) to fix at deadline.

Wow. Another giant has left the building. Sly Stone, a trail blazer in funk, has died at 82. He rewrote the rules, creating a whole new thing. They don’t make ‘em like Sly anymore. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/a...

Pirates swept the Phillies. It was 2-1 again. With Harper injured, Phils offense has disappeared, so team lost three well pitched games. Cubs are next … which will be tough sledding. The Phillies team that played so well in early May has been replaced by a bunch of hackers wearing Phils uniforms.

Bill Atkinson, who created HyperCard and many of the seminal applications for the early Macintosh, has died at 73. Bill was one of my heroes, a pioneer from the era when technology empowered the people who used it. They don’t make tech guys like Bill anymore. RIP. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/t...

Phillies got walked off by Pirates, 5-4; 7th loss in last 9. Wheeler was on paternity leave, forcing a bullpen game. Bullpen was good enough, but the offense and fielding were dreadful … again. Phils have three OFs who can field well, but constantly platoon, killing defense w/ no offensive benefit.

Phillies were humiliated by Toronto 9-1. For the 2nd start in a row, Jesus Luzardo got crushed: 8 earned in 2 1/3. Good velo. Changed speeds. Generally good location. But the Jays crushed even the pitcher’s pitches. Is Luzardo tipping? Our offense disappeared again. Chris Bassitt was Cy Young today

Phillies got walked off by the Jays, 2-1. Mick Abel’s second MLB start was as good as the first. Phils took a 1-0 lead on a Casty HR. A bad fielding play cost Abel a run in the 6th. Both bullpens were strong, but Jordan Romano made a mistake in the 9th that let Vladdy Jr score the winning run.

Phillies beat Blue Jays 8-3, with 6 runs in the 1st inning. Turner hit 2 HRs and Harper 1 (in his 1st AB after Strider nearly broke his elbow). Cristopher Sanchez had command issues, especially on his change, but pitched 6 innings of 4 hit, 1 run ball. 4 BB were the issue. 4 game losing streak ends.

Phillies got swept by Milwaukee, 5-2. They had a 2-1 lead when Trea Turner made a catastrophic error on a play that should have ended the inning; instead it led to 3 runs. Baseball is an unforgiving game. Phils are in a 4 game losing streak, with 3 games coming in Toronto, then the Mets at home.

Phillies lost 17-7 to MIL. Jesus Luzardo gave up 12 ER in 3.1, raising his ERA by a run and a half (it was ~2.15). The offense did nothing until the 9th. Rojas and Marsh each had 2 RBI. Schwarber had 3 hits. OF Weston Wilson pitched 2 clean innings w/ 57 mph heater. Phils really miss Harper.

Phillies lost to the Brewers, 6-2, in a truly anemic performance. Brewers’ opener went 3 innings with only a walk. Second guy finished the game, getting 16 ground outs over 6 innings, giving up the 2 runs. MIL scored 2 in the 1st and never looked back. Harper is still out from HBP 4 games ago.

Phillies lost game 2 to ATL 9-3. Zack Wheeler got off to a good start, but lost it in the RAV 4th inning on two dink hits and two hits that were crushed. 2 walks in 6th also scored. HP umpire was so bad I wonder if he was doing it on purpose. Phils are 36-20, best record in NL, 2 ahead of NY.

Phillies win a nail biter, 5-4 in game 1. ATL loaded bases in 9th, but did not score. Backup C Rafael Marchan had 3 RBI and 2 CS, including one in 9th that saved the game. Cristopher Sanchez was excellent. Matt Strahm was terrible and allowed ATL to tie game in the 8th. Harper did not play (elbow).

The game between the Phillies and Atlanta was rained out. Double header tomorrow: Smith-Shawver v Cristopher Sanchez and Sale vs Zack Wheeler. The rainout gives Bryce Harper a day to recover from elbow damaging HBP by Spencer Strider. Xrays were negative, but pitch was dangerous. Watch out, Acuna …

Phillies beat Atlanta 2-0. Neither starter (Ranger v Strider) had great command, but Ranger kept ATL from scoring, despite a shitload of 3-2 counts. Strider gave up 1 run, on a booming 2B by Kepler, who then made a baserunning blunder. Bullpen (Kerkering, Strahm, Romano) was magnificent. Big win.

Big Tech has done a masterful job of controlling the narrative about its products, denying obvious harms and always managing to do more harm with each iteration. What if, instead of manipulating users for profit, Big Tech tackled some of society’s real problems, eg, climate, health, education?

Phillies’ Sunday day game curse continues. They got down 3-0 in the first, but Jesus Luzardo settled down and did not give up another run. Phils tied it in the 5th and took the lead on a Turner HR in the 8th. Matt Strahm pitched the bottom of the 8th. He gave up 2 runs, ending winning streak at 9.

The Phillies won 7-4 in 11 innings. It was a see saw game, tied because of a Max Kepler HR in 9th off Mason Miller. Kerkering got out of bases loaded none out in the 10th. Fly to CF, Marsh made a perfect throw home for a DP. Kerkering gets 3rd out. Phils score 3 in 11th. Max Lazar first MLB save.

Phillies win over [Oakland] A’s 4-3. Wheeler was brilliant for 6 2/3 with no runs on 3 hits. Turner led off the game with HR. Rojas kept it 1-0 with an amazing catch in the 8th. Phils put up 3 in the 9th off Mason Miller, but Romano gave up a 3R HR, then a single with 2 outs. Banks got the save.

Phillies win 2-0, sweeping the Rockies behind Ranger Suarez (3-0), supported by Kerkering, Strahm, and Romano (S. 6). Harper and Kepler drove in the runs as the Phils swept the series and won their 7th straight. Now 32-18, 2 games ahead of Mets. This is easiest part of Phils’ schedule. Good job!
