The Red Hot Phillies polished off a four game sweep on Monday against the Giants before Bryce Harper’s Grand Slam helped the Phillies take game one a two game set against the Blue Jays before the seven game winning streak finally came to an end on Wednesday afternoon, though the Phils did have some chances. Still, loss 11271 in franchise history certainly wont stop us from ringing the bell for the first place Phils.

The Phillies – amazingly – wrapped up their best opening road trip in over a decade with their second straight series win taking 2 of 3 against the Cardinals. They kept the positive momentum rolling on their return home with a 5-1 win over the visiting Pirates to get over .500 for the first time on this young season. It was a whole lot of singles... more than match.com as they seem to say around here, so Let’s Ring the Bell for a s...

We're back for Season 3 of the Phils in Five Podcast! It was an exciting weekend down at the bank and though we got started off a day late, we did get some sunshine for Opening Day on Friday. The pitching, however, took a few days to stabilize and after two straight Ls to the division rival Braves – numbers 11,260 and 11,261 of all time – the boys got into the win column on Sunday with a 5-4 comeback victory. Let’s Ring the Bell fo...
Whelp, that’s it.... WHOMP WHOM WHOMP. The Phils had two cracks to punch their ticket to the World Series entering the week needing to win just one out of two to move on and now they’ll be heading home. The top two pieces in the bullpen each watched a run come home, the biggest bats came up kinda small in the biggest spots and your 2023 Philadelphia Phillies failed to keep the vibes train on the rails. Surely, it wasn’t a totally l...
The Phillies high hopes of wrapping up the NL Crown on the Road in Arizona took a serious hit with a bullpen blowup Thursday and Friday’s encore implosion by Craig Kimbrel out an end to that talk.

The NLCS Series moved to Arizona where the Phillies bats failed to stay as hot as the 100 degree temps.

Sad trombone today, hopefully its the last one of the year!
