Baseball: Philadelphia Phillies

If you think about it, all I'm asking is for the Cubs to win a little more than half their games this year, and then win more than half of the games they play in October. That is a very small ask for a year of happiness. Be reasonable, Cubs. Cubs are in, facing the Phillies in the Wild Card series: I'm kidding, obviously, since that's now how it…

The Washington Nationals' hopes of making the MLB postseason are dead, but they've still been playing some very solid baseball of late, going 6-4 in their last 10 games including winners of four straight. Believe it or not, they're now just 1.5 games back from the New York Mets and have a a very real chance to climb out of last place in the…

The Philadelphia Phillies' offense stayed hot against the San Diego Padres on Monday, scoring nine runs in a 9-7 win. The team tagged veteran Rich Hill early in the game, scoring eight runs in the first three innings. Hill lasted just 1.1, which means the Padres bullpen is pretty taxed heading into this matchup. San Diego is on the outside looking…

The Yankees felt very good about their meeting Monday with coveted Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The problem is, they have big competition, especially from a certain recently improved team on the left coast. True or not, word going around is that the young phenom Yamamoto may not mind the spotlight. Which would seem to favor both the…

The Philadelphia Phillies were just one win away from winning their second straight National League pennant. While the starting rotation wasn't the main reason why the team fell short in its quest, it doesn't appear to be in the best shape heading into the 2023 offseason. Aaron Nola, a key cog even with his down year, is officially a free agent…

Lenny Dykstra was revered by Philadelphia Phillies fans for his exploits on the diamond, acting as a turbo-charged table-setter for clubs from the early 90s, highlighted by his second-place MVP finish in 1993 as the Phils went all the way to the World Series. But few athletes have seen their stock as a human being plummet so far after their playing…

Wednesday brought some significant Philadelphia Phillies news with it, as GM Dave Dombrowski announced Bryce Harper would be the team's full-time first baseman moving forward.

Craig Kimbrel was one of the most agonizing everyday players Los Angeles Dodgers fans were subjected to watch for the duration of the 2022 season. Everyone thought the deed was done when he was left off the postseason roster, but the Dodgers failed anyway. Double whammy. At that point, AJ Pollock, whom the Dodgers traded Kimbrel for, was looking…

Daniel Jones returned to practice. Bad news? Daniel Jones returned to practice. … Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee told Bill Maher he used to drink two gallons of vodka a day. Certainly our picks have driven Stitch Nation to drink, but one bourbon, one scotch and one beer should suffice. The Phillies are the only team who has consistently led us to…

After a pretty gruesome performance by the Diamondbacks in game two of the NLCS, the Phillies became the favorite to win it all. Phillies handed Arizona a 10-0 loss on Tuesday night, going up 2-0 on the series. Luckily for the Diamondbacks, the series is headed home. Philadelphia climbed the ranks after back to back impressive offensive…

If you haven't followed our riveting saga, you can check out earlier Wheat/Chaff editions here. Suffice it to say, so far Chaff is winning but if the post-season has taught us anything it's that it's never over till it's over and the underdog reigns supreme. It has also taught us that your closer shouldn't throw 3-2 "chase" changeups to.165 hitters…

The National League Championship Series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Philadelphia Phillies continues Friday night with Game 4 at Chase Field in Phoenix.

Do you believe in the power of the 10th man in the lineup? That tens of thousands of people, screaming and causing audible mayhem, are enough to tip the scales in a baseball game that is typically decided by on-field talent?

They have scored just seven runs in…

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones missed practice (sore neck) and might miss this weekend's game against the Bills?! Fans who are excited about the slim chance Jones starts Sunday are the same screwballs who are excited about Stitch's latest pick. Two pains in the neck. Can the Phillies phinish off the Bravos? We need them to. We bet Philly would…

The Philadelphia Phillies are one win away from the National League Championship Series. Thanks to Bryce Harper and six total home runs, the Phillies blew out the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 of the Division Series on Wednesday, and have a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series.

For a few innings, it looked like the Phillies were going to be at home, with a 2-0 lead in the NLDS and a chance to eliminate the Braves. Oh, Citizens Bank Park would have been nutty. Beyond nutty. Forget greasing the lampposts throughout Philadelphia; they'd have to grease the foul poles to keep the fans off them before first pitch. As is, it'll…

The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies face off on Wednesday in Game 3 of their NLDS series at Citizens Bank Park. The two teams are currently tied 1-1 in the series.

After silencing the best offense in baseball in Game 1, the Philadelphia Phillies look to head back home with a commanding NLDS lead when they face off with the Atlanta Braves in Game 2 on Monday night. Philly's pitching staff, and particularly its bullpen, was the star on Saturday, with six different pitchers handling the final 5.1 shutout innings…

The Braves are built for thumping. They can pitch, and they can run, but they were historically good at hitting baseballs in the regular season. So it was an absolute nightmare for them to come up empty against the Phillies in a Ranger Suárez and Friends game in Atlanta. Not only does that set up a Game 2 where they have to face Zack Wheeler, who…

Here's the thing about interdivisional matchups: They have strong, strong potential for nonsense. The Braves and Phillies played only 13 games this season, down from the 19 games they used to play every season, but they know each other. Oh, how they know each other. That knowledge will lead to nonsense. All knowledge leads to nonsense. Hey, put…

The Philadelphia Phillies look to ride their momentum from a sound 4-1 Wild Card series opening victory into Wednesday's Game 2 against the Miami Marlins.
