On October 1, 1970, Connie Mack Stadium was demolished by fans following its final game. But how did this altar to baseball become such a blight on Philadelphia? The full story of Connie Mack Stadium will be told this summer in A Cathedral on Lehigh. Watch the trailer now:

The Phillies equivalent to the Mets offseason would be letting Schwarber walk only to sign Bo Bichette to a one-year deal and trade Aidan Miller for a one-year rental. Doing a lot doesn't mean doing well.

We can go deeper. Hoskins is still a free agent, fuck it, put him back in LF. Ring up Segura, see if he's busy yet this summer. I want Romano, Joe Ross, and Bellati back in the 'pen. Bring back Kepler once his suspension is over in June. I want him looking like peak McGwire.
just keep Castellanos at this point. fuck it. make it funny.

The ‘06 Ryan Howard disrespect is insane.
With the 1st Quarter Century of the 2000’s coming to an end, I want to take a look back at the best of what we saw in baseball over the last 25 years, starting with best individual seasons at each position: My Top 10 1st Base seasons of the Quarter Century

The Phillies continue to make moves to their 40-man roster. Will this be the final season in Philadelphia for some familiar faces? @BenHSilver dives in deeper. @MetroPhilly | #RingtheBell

If you thought the 2026 Phillies would look different from the 2025, get ready for 2027. This year the Phis have 7 players on expiring contracts. Between Bohm, Sosa, Luzardo, Alvarado, Adolis, Casty and Taijuan, who do you think stays in red pinstripes? https://t.co/af1uwDR1Py

As many of you guys know, I also run the YouTube channel Nothing if not Inconsistent, and for the past decade, I've uploaded yearly highlight videos of the Phillies' season. For the first time ever, I can say that compiling this year's highlights brings me basically zero joy.

If freeing up Strahm’s salary doesn’t lead to another move then it’s the worst face- value trade Dombrowski has made in Philly. First time I’m genuinely upset with a move he’s made before anyone even takes the field.
BREAKING The Philadelphia Phillies are trading Matt Strahm to the Kansas City Royals for Jonathan Bowlan, per @ByRobertMurray

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but Brandon Marsh is a better player overall than Harrison Bader, even if Marsh is platooned. @TheGoodPhight @WIPMorningShow

That is as disappointing a loss as the Flyers have had all year... How is their PP that bad?

And that’ll be a wrap on the next decade of Phillies baseball. See you in 2035 guys…
The Washington Nationals are hiring Ani Kilambi as their new general manager, sources tell ESPN. Kilambi, 31, had been an assistant GM with Philadelphia overseeing its R&D department and will join new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni in rebuilding the Nationals.

Every Brad Keller strikeout from 2025! Had no idea he could hit 100mph after moving to the pen.

@BenHSilver nailed it when talking about the idea of the #Phillies signing Adolis Garcia on Alley Talk last Friday: “At worst, he’s what Nick Castellanos has given you offensively with Gold Glove potential in right field and decent baserunning” @PhiladelphiaSN
