PhilaPhans

Regardless of what you think of Soto, the Phillies obliterated the Tigers in this trade. Gregory Soto & Kody Clemens to the Philadelphia Phillies for Nick Maton, Donny Sands and Matt Vierling. Clemens is a better bench piece than anyone from Maton, Sands & Vierling. Phillies did a great job ...

I will say that MLB is really, really top-heavy this year, which is to say that most teams are below average or outright terrible. The World Series winner will come from this group: Dodgers, Braves, Phillies, Rangers (if their pitching gets healthy), Orioles, Yankees (if Cole returns). (Apologies to...

4 game lead on Braves

Chance tomorrow to go 20 games over .500

Every time I get down on Soto, he delivers like that in high-leverage.

Fantastic job by Soto
Harper wins it.

LOL. I was resigned to bummer loss and win the series tomorrow.

This one will be on the offense. Phillies keep getting solid SP. Bullpen can't be forced into constant perfection.

Oh wait, I missed that Strahm signed an extension for 2025, with an option for 2026. Sweet.

Hoffman keeps this up, he'll be looking at 3/36 as his starting point. Higher, the more games he closes for the Phillies.
