Some quick, basic info on Jonathan Bowlan, the return for Matt Strahm. 29 years old and out of minor league options

Don’t know if any of this will continue, but the #Phillies daycare had the best combined half-season of their careers after the ASB: ✅ Marsh .302/.354/.527 (.881 OPS, 140 wRC+) ✅ Stott .294/.368/.487 (.855 OPS, 135 wRC+) ✅ Bohm .304/.344/.452 (.796 OPS, 119 wRC+) 🤷‍♂️ __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

I think there is some thinking of "we can fix him", but also it is a real acknowledgement that the OF market is bad, and the RH outfield market is just completely awful. He would not be my choice, but I am also not convinced my choice actually exists on the market.

Among MLB’s top 50 free agents , $903M of contract value has been signed so far (27% of the total projected value for the top 50).   That's the lowest value and % through this point since the 2020-21 offseason. __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social #Phillies

2025 Phillies player review: Cristopher Sánchez From @alyssastclaire.bsky.social www.thegoodphight.com/phillies-ana...

Of MLB's top 50 Free Agents, as ranked by @mlbtraderumors, 8 have signed so far, including 4 who accepted Qualifying Offers, and 4 on new contracts. The 4 accepted QO's are the most ever, while the 4 new contracts are typical for the last day of November. __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

Since the award was first given out in 2006, 26 players have won a Fielding Bible Award at either 2B or SS. Only five of them have reached 3000 Total Base. And of those, only two maintained an OPS+ over 110 while doing so: Mookie Betts Chase Utley

#Phillies WAR leaders since 2022 (fangraphs): ✅ Zack Wheeler in total WAR, 19.5 ✅ Jesus Luzardo in average WAR per year, 5.3 (1 year) __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

That run already has Halladay in the Hall. If you are just looking at 07-11, Utley is a no doubt slam dunk Hall of Fame level talent, longevity is the argument against him by fWAR he trails Pujols 35.5 to 33.3 during that era. He easily was the 2nd best hitter in baseball during that time

I have two opinions on the Hall of Fame ballot 1. Chase Utley is a Hall of Famer and voters need to stop fucking around. 2. It is objectively funny to have some real core Phillies in Abreu, Hamels, Rollins, and Utley AND cameo Phillies Gio Gonzalez, Howie Kendrick, Hunter Pence, and K-Rod

Let’s vote on the Top Moments of the 2025 Season www.thegoodphight.com/phillies-ana...

Utley will be in at some point, Rollins should be but might not, and I’m very curious to see how Hamels does on his first ballot

The 2026 Hall of Fame Ballot will be revealed later today. Cole Hamels will be added this year, joining 3 former #Phillies: Chase Utley: -3rd time on the ballot -got 39.8% last year Jimmy Rollins: -5th time -18.0% last year Bobby Abreu: -7th time -19.5% last year __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

NL/AL Rookies of the Year will be announced today. ✅ #Phillies: the only team with only 1 rookie batter (Otto Kemp) ✅ Max Lazar/Mick Abel led a slightly larger pitcher presence ✅ If (for simplicity) a full season for a pitcher is 200 IP, no team played rookies less __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

15 Sundays from today (2/22): ✅ The #Phillies host the Pirates for their first game in Clearwater. ✅ Most likely the first time we'll see the 2026 Phillies on TV.

Good question, yes — Harper is the #Phillies all-time leader in postseason WPA: 1) Harper +1.97 2) Utley +1.21 3) Luzinski +1.15 4) Werth +0.95 5) Dykstra +0.92 then Howard, Unser, Realmuto, Kruk, etc. www.fangraphs.com/leaders/majo... __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

Bryce Harper in the postseason as a Phil: ✅ OPS by year ('22-25): 1.160, 1.097, 1.279, .600 ✅ WPA by year (per 650 PA): +9.3, +10.4, +8.0, -0.5 The numbers for '22, '23, and '24 would be MVP-level over a full season. __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social #Phillies

Can we stop with this Bryce Harper nonsense? From @witteethan.bsky.social www.thegoodphight.com/phillies-ana...

Amen

In 2025 Bryce Harper saw the fewest pitches in the strike zone: 42.9%* Second lowest was 45.8% From 4/11 to 5/27, Harper had Schwarber hitting behind him. He STILL only saw 43.9% in the zone, which would still have been lowest in MLB. *Statcast data at fangraphs __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

A Brief History of Baseball is Dying 🧵

Bedlam at the Bank was on 10/23/22. Since 10/24/22 in the postseason, Harper has: ✅ 7 HRs (t-4th most) ✅ .965 OPS __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

most points in the first quarter of a debut game. ever.

DID YOU KNOW - Bedlam At The Bank took place on this day, one million years ago

Remember when you hear the comparisons of Shohei Ohtani to Babe Ruth that the Babe never once struck out more than 3 batters in a season that he hit 30+ homers. It's true. No one's ever done anything like this before.

Shohei Ohtani is the first player with 3 homers and 10 strikeouts as a pitcher in a game Reg or post !!!

Bryce Harper is 33 today. Schwarber will turn 33 in March. In MLB history, most postseason HRs by a player's 33rd bday: T-1) SCHWARBER, Altuve 23 T-10) HARPER, Jeter, Thome 17 A lot more postseason now, esp. compared to Mantle's day. stathead.com/tiny/Doyff __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

Since 2015, 87 players have batted 100+ times in the postseason. Of those 87, Kyle Schwarber has the 9th highest OPS (.907). Bryce Harper has the highest (1.016): stathead.com/tiny/Xpb0C No player hits well in every postseason series they play. __ @thegoodphight.bsky.social

i loved the 2025 philadelphia phillies. no playoffs can make me hate them. defector.com/what-ill-rem...

this is so, so good. it's also, in its way, a paean to the regular season and why it matters in and of itself, even if MLB is doing its best to pretend it only exists as a prelude to the playoffs.

Game 4 was a devastating, crushing loss. Now, if I were told in March that the #Phillies would make the postseason but without Wheeler and Alvarado, Nola would be limited to 2 innings, and they would lose a closely fought series to LA, that would be disappointing but tolerable.
