Bryce Harper, Orion Kerkering react to MLB proposal that would require selected players to compete in 2028 Olympics

The Phillies are about to have a fourth Friday off day, and it’s not their last this season. That feels like it has to be a record. onpattison.com/sports/phila...

Trea Turner is the first right-handed hitter to homer off of Luke Weaver this season. Weaver only gave up two homers total in the first half.

Don Mattingly probably made the right decision in Detroit.

40,109 is the attendance tonight for Mets-Phillies at Citizens Bank Park. They’ll definitely remember the experience 🚬

Left: Air quality on June 7, 2023 “smoked out” game Right: Tonight Not really making a specific point, just thought interesting to compare.

The air quality has definitely worsened since the game started.

The Phillies will be back on NBC Sports Philadelphia Saturday, with John Kruk joining Tom McCarthy in the booth.

If anyone was interested, the Phillies All-Star Game patch is gone off their uniforms.

Phillies-Mets moved up 6:10 because of smoke.

Brad Keller is going to get a second opinion on his elbow from Dr. Keith Meister, who is one of the top specialists/surgeons in the country. There is a tear, but they are trying to determine the severity. Obviously, he was bummed.

Brad Keller has a right UCL tear. Seth Johnson has been recalled to replace him.

Chase Shugart is here and has a locker. Brad Keller is not on the lineup card.

It will be a powder blue Thursday for the Phillies to open up the second-half slate.

Who was your veteran mentor? I spoke with eight MLB All-Stars and asked them what player took them under their wing when they broke into the league. ⭐️

The Phillies will begin their second half slate on ESPN, with Karl Ravech on the call. Eduardo Pérez and Adam Ottavino will be the color commentators. Buster Olney will be the dugout reporter.

Made so many lifelong memories the last few days

43,916 is the attendance tonight at Citizens Bank Park for the MLB All-Star Game. It IS a sellout. The junior and senior circuits thank you!

The audio didn’t fire correctly when Jhoan Duran’s entrance started, so he ran halfway to the mound in silence before the bell rang.

Super cool moment: Freddie Freeman played catch with a kid as fireworks were going off and the Ray Charles version of America the Beautiful played. Freeman wasn’t even staying in the game, but he gave that kid an incredible memory.

Fireworks going off as the Ray Charles version of America the Beautiful played was chills. Felt like the Sandlot

Here’s comes Jesús Luzardo to take down the top of the fourth for the Senior Circuit.

The Rays and Mariners not having a road gray sticks out like a sore thumb in the All-Star Game.

Cristopher Sánchez really soaked that moment in, that was cool.

Dreams and Nightmares on the strings was kind of chills.

Chris Sale was so good for this story.

All-Star Game 2026 ⭐️

By far the coolest thing that could happen tonight would be for the ninth inning to come down to a Jhoan Duran save opportunity.

Who was your veteran mentor? ⭐️All-Star edition⭐️ I asked Matt Olson, Justin Verlander, Chris Sale, Logan Webb, Max Muncy, CJ Abrams, Byron Buxton and Mason Miller what veteran took them under their wings early in their careers.

Zack Wheeler wasn't an initial replacement because he pitched Sunday. Misiorowski and Skenes won't pitch Tuesday because they pitched Sunday. I asked Rob Manfred if MLB has considered moving ASG to Wednesday or something so best guys are available.

Rob Manfred: “Philadelphia has been an unbelievable host city. The Draft, we had bigger attendance, more enthusiasm than any point in the history of the event.”

Bryce Harper says he’s retired from the Home Run Derby, but still wants MLB to consider aluminum bat idea onpattison.com/sports/bryce...

Tomorrow (well, today) is the real thing.

Bobby Abreu and Ryan Howard have delivered the championship trophy.

Bryce Harper is among the group of Phillies cheering on Kyle Schwarber.

Way too much time between hitters

43,863 is the attendance tonight at Citizens Bank Park for the Home Run Derby. It IS a sellout. MLB thanks you!

Only one of Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper will advance to the second round.

The gold ball had way more aura.

The rare blue umpire gear at night!

Pretty perfect night at the yard.

When is the 2026 All-Star Game thermos dropping?

Yes, Freddie Freeman has seen the video of Tom McCarthy catching his home run ball while broadcasting from the stands. 😂
