I asked Kyle Schwarber whether it’s still weird for him to face the Cubs.

Cristopher Sánchez wanted feedback on his new pants 😂

Even with the Cubs set to start a righty tomorrow in Colin Rea, Edmundo Sosa will start at third, per Rob Thomson. He wants to get him some ABs before starting Wednesday against Shota Imamaga. Thomson was impressed with Alec Bohm’s ABs tonight.

Will Kyle Schwarber be remembered more as a Cub or Phillie? As he rounded the bases twice in a win over his former team Monday, I wondered that.

Scott Kingery got some cheers when introduced as a pinch hitter by Dan Baker.

36,045 is the attendance tonight at Citizens Bank Park for Cubs-Phillies.

In between innings, Citizens Bank Park gave a loud cheer when they showed the tying goal by the Flyers.

This is the 37th multi-homer game of Kyle Schwarber's career, and 23rd since joining the Phillies.

Kyle Schwarber has gone yard twice in as many at-bats against the Cubs tonight.

🚨The Phillies have scored in multiple innings.

Phillies Nuggets: Rob Thomson pushes back against notion he doesn't hold players accountable

I asked Rob Thomson what hasn’t been working for Adolis García at the plate in recent games.

Without a better option, a struggling Adolis García is next up as Phillies try to find cleanup hitter

Rob Thomson: “To say I’m not holding people accountable, that’s not right. So, we’ll leave it at that.”

Bowlan said his groin tightened up in the dugout after his appearance yesterday. He’s hopeful it will be a short absence.

Lineup tonight for Phillies. 1. Turner 2. Schwarber 3. Harper 4. Garcia 5. Marsh 6. Bohm 7. Stott 8. Realmuto 9. Crawford

Phillies recalled Seth Johnson. Jonathan Bowlan has been placed on the IL with a right groin strain.

Trea Turner gives his thoughts on why all of the Phillies’ runs this weekend came in just three innings.

Andrew Painter says it was “super important” for him to pitch Sunday to avoid someone in the bullpen having to get sent down or DFA’d for a fresh arm Monday.

Bryce Harper explains why he tried to push single into double in Sunday's loss

NEW Phillies Stoplight🚦 🔴 A wild, but impressive day for Andrew Painter 🟠 Continued offensive frustration 🟢 Cubs-Phillies preview 🐻 www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrhi...

Andrew Painter rallied after 'throwing up all morning' due to migraine to impress in latest outing

Rob Thomson said Bryce Harper was right to go from third with runners on the corners and no one out because it prevented the double play. As for trying to stretch the single into the double, Thomson said Harper knows it was the wrong decision, didn’t need to say anything.

It seems like it's at the point where Tim Mayza should be getting higher leverage looks in the bullpen, with José Alvarado probably going to lower leverage for the time being.

Here comes Jonathan Bowlan, who told me the story of his unique entrance song earlier this week.

43,060 is the attendance today at Citizens Bank Park for Snakes-Phillies. It IS a sellout. The Diamondbacks and Phillies thank you!

Trea Turner has his first home run of the season. It's also his first home run of the season at Citizens Bank Park, where he didn't homer until August last season.

Bryce Harper just singled into center field, but tried to stretch it into a double without any reason to think that would work. He was thrown out, and booed going back to the dugout.

Andrew Painter is coming in to pitch.

Andrew Painter just walked out to the bullpen. He's scratched from starting. That doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't factor into today's game.

Andrew Painter scratched with a migraine. Zach Pop will start.

Cole Hamels is back in the booth Sunday.

Phillies NOT wearing Phanatic caps as Citizens Bank Park celebrates mascot's birthday

The Phillies are not wearing the Phanatic caps this year for his birthday. They are no longer the batting practice caps, so they aren’t an option anymore. Too bad, it was a fun thing once a year, I thought.

This is the Phanatic Colonial bobblehead being given out today to fans 14 and under for his birthday. This is one of the best bobbleheads they’ve ever done.

In case you had any doubt, Rob Thomson thinks Bryson Stott is “a ballplayer.” 😂

Taijuan Walker's ability to battle is why Phillies likely won't move on from him even when Zack Wheeler returns

I thought Kyle Schwarber’s answer when I asked him how badly the Phillies needed their big inning Saturday was interesting.

Taijuan Walker has been impressed by Justin Crawford.

41,201 is the attendance Saturday at Citizens Bank Park for Snakes-Phillies.

Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper launch back-to-back bombs, and Citizens Bank Park is as loud as it’s been this year.

Ketel Marte greets Taijuan Walker by wasting one into the right field seats.

Jonathan Bowlan has the most unique entrance song in Phillies history, and it fits him perfectly onpattison.com/news/2026/ap...

It’s a beautiful day for baseball.
