Phillies shut out, Nola off in opener against Guardians

5 days ago | philliesnation.com | Nathan Ackerman

Nick Castellanos threw out a runner at third base and Kyle Schwarber extended his on-base streak to 44. Friday’s highlights end there. After a pair of excellent outings to right the ship of his 2025 season, Aaron Nola didn’t have his best stuff in the series opener against the Guardians. The long ball bug returned to bite him, as two homers contributed to a six-hit, five-inning, four-run outing.
Taijuan Walker’s first career save secures small-ball win and series over Rays

Baseball is a tough business, and Taijuan Walker was reminded of that when his 2.54 ERA across six starts this year couldn’t help him avoid an entirely circumstantial move to the bullpen. He picked up right where he left off. Walker was dominant in his bullpen season debut to cap Wednesday’s 7-0 win over the Rays. The Phillies righty struck out seven batters and allowed one hit in three innings for his first career save.
Is Kyle Schwarber a 100 million dollar player?

Kyle Schwarber is off to an amazing start. Schwarber leads the National League in home runs and has a .999 OPS. The Phillies have needed every bit of Schwarber’s offensive outburst with Bryce Harper and others not getting off to the start they had hoped for. The only downside is his price tag has risen. Just how much could Schwarber get on the free agent market? He could do better than the four years and $79 million he got in his first contract with the Phillies.

PHILADELPHIA – Kevin Long knew he had something to work with. The veteran hitting coach ventured to a training facility near his Scottsdale home in December to check out a free agent hitter that had his attention. The Phillies’ decision makers were scheduled to meet that night over Zoom to discuss, among other things, who will be playing left field for the club in 2025. He had some thoughts about Max Kepler, but wanted an in-person look at his work in the batting cages.
Long ball (including Bohm’s first), fastball lift Phillies over Rays

The Phillies played their first ever regular-season game at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Tuesday. The Rays will spend the 2025 season there, and ideally no more. It is a minor-league ballpark. Capacity is barely over 11,000, and it was not filled to the brim behind the 16-18 Rays on Tuesday. All to say: The Phillies needed to create the energy, and the thump, themselves in the series opener. Mission accomplished.

Phillies relievers have found a new way to keep spirits up in the lower half of Citizens Bank Park’s double-decker bullpen the past few days. As one of them put it, the first month of the season didn’t go the group’s way. They needed to inject some extra fun. They’ve improved. It ebbs and flows. Far from perfect. But it’s better.
What’s today’s attendance? Phillies relievers are playing new game in bullpen

1 week ago | philliesnation.com | Ty Daubert

PHILADELPHIA — For the past few years, Phillies relievers have played a game out there in the bullpen. When one of the pitchers thinks a teammate will hit a home run, he can throw his hat down to call it. They keep tabs on who’s the best at predicting the homers. Recently, the bullpen has added another friendly competition into the mix at Citizens Bank Park. It all started when the relief pitchers looked into the upper decks and wondered how many fans were at the ballpark earlier this week.
