last night's loss

Everything is pointing the wrong way. The 10-run loss last night is the heaviest factor today. Making it worse, 2-5 in their last 7. Not the week they wanted.

Phillies News

The Philadelphia Phillies' playoff aspirations took a hit as they were blown out by the Atlanta Braves 12-2, a painful reminder that even with Bryce Harper's early home run, their overall performance fell apart. The absence of Jesús Luzardo due to shoulder stiffness forced the team into a bullpen game that quickly unraveled, with rookie Grant Holman struggling in his debut. The bullpen's inability to hold a lead underscored a troubling trend in a season where the Phils now find themselves at 82-66 and struggling to keep pace in the NL East. Meanwhile, Aaron Nola's resurgence gives a glimmer of hope, suggesting a potential lineup shakeup could be in order as the team looks to turn this rough stretch around. With a 3-4 record in the last week, fans are left wondering if this team can regain its footing before the postseason.

Harper savors early HR ... but Braves get last laugh as Phils fade in NL East
ATLANTA -- Something must have been on Bryce Harper's mind when he circled the bases in the first inning on Saturday night at Truist Park. Maybe he wanted to spark something in a rivalry that has been decidedly one-sided this year. Maybe he just wanted to have some fun. Harper

Aaron Nola’s resurgence should lead Phillies to make drastic playoff lineup change
Some of the credit for Aaron Nola's turnaround is owed to personal catcher Garrett Stubbs, which should have the Phillies considering swapping him in for stalwart J.T. Realmuto in Nola’s playoff starts.

Digging a Holman: Braves 12, Phillies 2
For three innings, things were going well for the Phillies. Despite being forced to utilize a bullpen game, they had a 1-0 lead over the Braves. By the time the fourth inning ended, they found themselves trailing 8-1 as Grant Holman had a debut he (and everyone else) would like to forget. The rest of […]
