Kimberly Moore+FollowPhillies Snag D-Rob, Mets Fans ReactWow, the Fightins just landed D-Rob for $6.22M, beating out the Mets and Yanks for the veteran closer. This feels like a classic NL East rivalry move—especially with the Mets eyeing bullpen help too. Robertson’s 2.82 ERA over the last three seasons is no joke, and with Alvarado out, Philly needed this. Mets fans, how worried are you about D-Rob coming back to haunt us down the stretch? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies22Share
Renee Ramirez+FollowRemembering Bittiger: Philly’s Unsung ScoutSad news for the baseball community—Jeff Bittiger, the former Phillies righty and longtime A’s scout, has passed away at 63 after a battle with cancer. While he might not have been a household name on the mound, Bittiger made a huge impact off the field, especially as the scout who discovered Andrew Bailey, the 2009 AL Rookie of the Year. His legacy lives on in the players he mentored and the teams he shaped. Anyone else remember his gritty days with the Phils? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies10Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowGuardians Shut Door on Clase-to-Philly RumorsTough break for the Fightins—looks like the Guardians aren’t letting go of their flame-throwing closer, Emmanuel Clase, anytime soon. After King Romano’s struggles, Phillies fans were hoping for a bullpen upgrade, but Cleveland’s locking Clase down through 2028. With his 2.86 ERA and recent dominance, he would’ve been a game-changer. Now, Dombrowski’s got to pivot. Who’s the next best fit for Philly’s pen? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies10Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowRemembering Jeff Bittiger: A Scout’s LegacySad news for the baseball family as we say goodbye to Jeff Bittiger, the former Phillies arm who made his mark as both a player and a legendary scout. While he might not have been an ace on the mound, Bittiger’s true rivalry was with the odds—grinding through the minors, then shaping future stars like Andrew Bailey. His eye for pitching talent was unmatched, and he’ll be missed by Phils fans and baseball lifers alike. #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowAmbler’s Own Wins Castellanos Twin Contest!How cool is this? Ambler native Michael Penna just snagged the top spot in a Nick Castellanos look-alike contest at Fringe Bar & PumpHouse Pizza! With the Phils’ right fielder making headlines on the field, it’s awesome to see his doppelgänger get some love off it. Judged by Devan Kaney and Lauren Rossi, Penna’s win scored him Hall of Fame suite tickets—talk about a family win, since his wife and daughters pushed him to enter! Anyone else think he could pass for Castellanos at Citizens Bank Park? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
Tammy Sellers+FollowCould Bader Be Philly’s Secret Weapon?With the NL East race tighter than ever, the Phillies’ offense has been under the microscope—especially with Marsh struggling in clutch moments. Enter Harrison Bader, the former Mets fan favorite now thriving in Minnesota. Bader’s clutch bat and elite glove could be the upgrade Philly needs to edge out the Amazins’ and patch their defensive woes. Meanwhile, the Mets seem more likely to chase a bigger name than bring Bader back. Could this move swing the rivalry? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies10Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowSchwarbombs Put Pressure on Phillies Front OfficeDid you catch Schwarber’s All-Star swing-off? The guy went 3-for-3 and basically told the Phillies, ‘Your move.’ The big man’s humility is classic, but his bat’s doing all the talking. Philly fans, do you think the front office can afford to let Schwarbombs walk after that MVP performance? Or is this the last dance before he chases another ring elsewhere? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies21Share
Timothy Huff MD+FollowCould Helsley Be Philly’s Bullpen Savior?Rumors are heating up about the Fightins eyeing Cardinals’ fireman Ryan Helsley ahead of the trade deadline. With the Phils’ pen ranking near the bottom, snagging the two-time All-Star could be a game-changer for their October push. Dombrowski’s known for bold moves—will he pull the trigger and bring Helsley’s heat to Citizens Bank Park? Cards fans, would you deal him if you’re out of the race? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies30Share
jillian59+FollowBuxton Stays Put: Phillies’ Outfield Woes ContinueWell, fellow Phils fans, the dream of seeing Byron Buxton patrolling center field in red pinstripes is officially dead. The Twins’ All-Star, who’s been raking this year, made it clear he’s not waiving his no-trade clause—he’s a Twin for life. With the Buxton buzz squashed before it really started, Dombrowski’s hunt for outfield help just got trickier. Who do you think should be the next target to fix our right-handed bat problem? #Sports #Baseball #Phillies00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowShould the Phils Bring Back Houdini?Fellow Fightins fans, with the bullpen looking shaky again, do you think it’s time for Dombrowski to call up old friend David Robertson—aka Houdini—for a third stint? The front office is eyeing big trades (like snagging Jhoan Durán), but Robertson’s still a free agent and wouldn’t cost us prospects. He was clutch in ’22, and with the Mets and Yanks circling, should Philly get in on the reunion? Curious what everyone thinks about bringing back the vet instead of breaking the farm for a reliever. #Sports #Baseball #Phillies10Share
