They were wrong. Braves starting left fielder Hector Olivera has been arrested following a […]

The Phillies and Braves will honor the late Jim Fregosi, who passed away last Friday, in a pre-game tribute on March 5 at Bright House Field.

If the Phillies ever moved to King of Prussia, how would that go over in the City of Philadelphia? The Braves are essentially doing just that, in relation to the City of Atlanta. Today, the Atlanta Braves announced that they would leave downtown Atlanta in favor of Cobb County, Georgia, where they will build a […]
The Phillies are coming off of a 1-2 series loss to the Nationals this past week.

Yesterday's 11-inning loss to the Braves was just another example of how this team has played baseball for the past two years. Lazy, un-driven, and shakey bullpen […]
After last night's disgusting loss to the San Francisco Giants, the Phillies are now a season-worst 8 games under .500 as they head into the weekend. Thirteen and a half games out of first in the division, the Phillies have continued to fail at keeping it together in close ball games. Last night after Cole […]

The Phillies were able to mount four runs, but still fell 10-4. The Phillies fell back to four games under .500 with that loss and with […]
