An annonymous scout has a chilling take for Philadelphia Phillies fans. Read that and more Phillies news and rumors on SportsTalkPhilly.com.

The Phillies will have their hands full while they attempt to break an eight-game losing skid as they go up against Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. Since being shutout against St. Louis on June 10, the Phillies have averaged four runs per game. Unfortunately, they’ve allowed 5.75 runs per game in the same span and Sale has allowed more than three earned runs in only two of his 13 starts this season. After winning four of their first five games in June, the Phillies will be looking for their first victory since June 6.

Rookie RHP Ben Lively and the Philadelphia Phillies (21-41) will look to snap their six-game losing skid in the two-game series finale against the Boston Red Sox (35-28) and southpaw David Price Tuesday evening at Fenway Park.

Phillies second baseman Scott Kingery will miss at least six weeks with an oblique strain.

After deviating from the college ranks for one pick, the Phillies dipped back into the collegiate pool and selected Florida shortstop Dalton Guthrie in the sixth round.
Guthrie’s stash line certainly doesn’t jump off the page at you as he hit .262 this year with a .342 OBP, four home runs and ten stolen bases. He’s supposedly a great defender for a college shortstop but may lack the arm strength and size to really stick there moving forward. Jonathan Mayo suggested that he may move to second base, while others think his ceiling is a utility infielder that can play anywhere in the field.

The Phillies added a college third baseman and a high school left-hander in rounds four and five of the MLB draft on Tuesday.

The Phillies started off day two of the draft by picking college pitcher Connor Seabold in the third round.

The Phillies have agreed to send left-hander Joely Rodriguez to the Texas Rangers.

Former high school and college coaches speak glowingly of Philadelphia Phillies second-round pick Spencer Howard in interview with SportsTalkPhilly.com.

Eickhoff, 0-7 on the year, had a quality start at Fenway Park, but Joaquín Benoit ceded a long home run to Hanley Ramírez to tie the game in the eighth.

Howard posted a career 2.25 ERA in 124 innings pitched, walking 36 and striking out 136 in his college career.

With the eighth pick in the 2017 Major League Baseball draft, the Philadelphia Phillies selected University of Virginia outfielder Adam Haseley.

The Philadelphia Phillies (21-40) and RHP Jerad Eickhoff return to the historic Fenway Park for the first time since Sept. 2015 as they take on RHP Rick Porcello and the Boston Red Sox (34-28) in the home-and-home series opener Monday evening.

The Philadelphia Phillies (21-39) — winless in four straight games and eight straight road series — will look to salvage the series finale against the St. Louis Cardinals (28-32) and avoid their sixth sweep Sunday afternoon at Busch Stadium.

The Philadelphia Phillies (21-38) and rookie RHP Nick Pivetta will oppose five-year veteran RHP Carlos Martinez and the St. Louis Cardinals (27-32) Saturday afternoon in the second of a three-game set at Busch Stadium.

After a month of May in which they amassed just six wins, the Phillies have started June winning four of their seven games. They opened the month with a series victory against the San Francisco Giants followed by a four-game split with the Atlanta Braves and will now hit the road to take on the St. Louis Cardinals for their first of six meetings in a 14-day span. The Cardinals, after a winless seven-game road trip, return home where they’ve gone 14-15. The Phillies, however, have played just .281-ball on the road in 2017 (9-23). Philadelphia’s starting rotation has allowed 3 ER or fewer in each of their last six games, which is the longest streak since Sept. 29, 2016 to April 5, 2017. Relievers Hector Neris (3 ER, 13.2 IP), Pat Neshek (2 ER, 14.1 IP) and Edubray Ramos (4 ER, 18.0 IP) have combined for a 1.76 ERA (9 ER, 46.0 IP) with 49 strikeouts over the team’s last 36 games. 

For Philadelphia Phillies fans that are fond of the team’s 1980s look, the month of July will feel something like Christmas.
