Bryson Stott’s stolen base last inning was the 138th attempt of his career. He has a success rate of 89.13%. That is the best percentage in MLB history of anyone with at least as many attempts as Stott has.

There is approximately a 1 in 12,048 chance (or 1 in 6,622 if we factor out intentional walks) that Citizens Bank Park would not have seen a walk-off home run since 2023. Yet here we are @BenHSilver on the mysterious Phillies curse that makes no sense metrophiladelphia.com/storie…

The Phillies curse that makes no sense - Metro Philadelphia

The Phillies' walk-off homer drought might not sound too alarming at first...until you dig into the numbers.

The Phillies are basically the late 90s Buffalo Sabres at this point. Fans of the team that watch them every day think, "Jfc, our best F is Miroslav Satan & our best d-man is Alexei Zhitnik." Opposing fans think "holy christ we have to face Dominik Hasek in a playoff series???"

It’s funny that whenever I talk to the Dodgers out here and mention I’m a Phillies fan they like really overrate the Phillies for some reason. Like “only team i’m scared of.”. They think more highly of this team than Phillies fans do

A lot has been said regarding the state of the Phillies’ farm system. @MetroPhilly | @BenHSilver | #Ringthebell metrophiladelphia.com/storie…

With the Phillies' farm system ranked in the bottom half of baseball, who can they trade at the Trade Deadline?

I’ve tried to come up with the right words but I just dont think I’ll ever do it justice. The World Cup being in Philadelphia was without a doubt the best few weeks of my life. I will never forget covering all 6 games and documenting the world coming together to celebrate the World Cup in my city, Philadelphia I hope you made the decision to get outside and dive in, it’s a high I’ll be chasing for the rest of my life. It’s not often I say this, but I am very proud of myself today. Thank you all for the incredible support 🫶

Before today's game, take a walk back over Derek Hill's stellar night in New York including one of the best catches you'll see all season AND it includes a great note about his offensive impact from @BenHSilver @PhiladelphiaSN | @MetroPhilly metrophiladelphia.com/storie…

Derek Hill soars to rob Juan Soto as Phillies defeat Mets 2-1 - Metro Philadelphia

Derek Hill added an exclamation point to what has already been a stellar introduction to the fans in Philadelphia. Robbing a Juan Soto home run in New York will do that, but his clutch impact has...

Just an FYI, despite articles that say otherwise, Francisco is not Edgar Renteria’s son
Jon Marks
@JonMarksMediaJun 21
The Phillies gave Edgar’s kid a 4 million dollar signing bonus in January. He’s tearing up the Dominican Summer League and he’s only 17 years old

THE POINT OF LIKING PITCHERS HITTING IS BECAUSE THEYRE BAD!!!!

@BaseballWRLD_Jun 8
Zack Greinke was considered one of the best hitting pitchers in recent memory and his OPS was .598. The fact that there are people that miss pitchers hitting is genuine insanity

This is exactly what I’m talking about. More than often, Rob privately had exactly the conversation fans were demanding him to have. But, he didn’t do it publicly for show, he would do it privately with his players in the way he thought they would respond best.

Shouldnt need to “sacrifice” himself if he held players accountable. Come on Taryn.

The Phillies' pitching staff has done an excellent job at limiting loud contact thus far. They've held opponents to the lowest hard-hit rate in baseball at 33.8 percent. And despite their 4.39 team ERA, their expected ERA (mostly based on contact quality) is an NL-best 2.87.

Last time the Phillies broke a walk-off HR drought this long, there were 16 teams in the MLB and none west of the Mississippi
schmenkman 🇺🇦@tgpschmenkMar 27
Kyle Schwarber hit the #Phillies' last walk-off HR at CBP, on 6/9/23 vs. the Dodgers. The Phils have played 216 home games since then (including 1 in London) without a walk-off HR. It’s their longest such drought in over 80 years: __ @TheGoodPhight
