@cdotharrison What about Wilt? Wasn’t Shaq just a more modern version of Chamberlain? And Wilt had better overall game.

What Wemby did tonight is why we have to quit calling every top pick a generational prospect. There’s been 3 in 40 years. Shaq, LeBron, Wemby.

@JimSalisbury215 Lets not get too giddy. Painter and Nola have been bad - Nola may be done. And for 3rd year in a row the team lacks RH power. That reality is going to catch up.

No better way to follow up a great trip than with a great pod

@ChrisCillizza Do you account for the number of House seats D's will likely lose due to recent redistricting?

If Democrats can't win back the House -- and make a real run at the Senate -- with these sorts of numbers for Trump, they are well and truly doomed

@awfulannouncing I hate the idea of watching games 'for free'. If I'm getting games for "free" then why am I paying $275.00 per month for Comcast? There are NO free games.

The NFL is greatly overestimating how many games fans can watch for free. awfulannouncing.com/nfl/analysis-f…

@TDsTake @Lions247 That’s great but with massive number of transfers, how many of those guys will even be here for 2 years?

Penn State began building one of CFB's largest and highest-ranked recruiting classes by stacking cornerback commits. Kei'Shjuan Telfair leads them all in rankings. More on a "very advanced" Top247 Ohio prospect who provides "legitimate two‑way value" 👇 247sports.com/college/penn-s…

@MattGelb Bohm/Crawford/Painter - more example of Phils having a problem and farm system having no answers.

The other righty-hitting infielders the Phillies have tried as platoon left fielders have hit .098/.098/.195 in 41 PA, so they’re sticking Edmundo Sosa out there Saturday night. On the roster issues that extend beyond Bohm: nytimes.com/athletic/72648…

@ThePhilliesShow @RAJr_20 Adjustments Painter needs should be learned in the minors. Phils risk ruining him by forcing him to learn in the Bigs.

"I love his makeup. I love the way he's handling this." @RAJr_20 breaks down Andrew Painter, his mentality and the adjustments he needs to make for continued success.

@ThePhilliesShow Painter's AAA numbers in '25 were lousy. Hes not ready to face MLB hitters. But instead of letting him learn down in AAA - he's up here getting hammered. How long do Phils let this go on?

Surprise, surprise: the Phillies have the best rotation in baseball in the last week and they’re 7-1. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@LO_Phillies @ConnorThomas975 Painter not ready for MLB batters. Numbers in AAA in '25 were lousy. How long are Phils going to let him get hammered up here when he should be learning down in minors?

Could tonight’s Philadelphia Phillies game could flip the whole narrative about the team's recent red hot streak? Find out in the latest episode of Locked On Phillies with @ConnorThomas975 youtu.be/muePiNl-wXE …the-philadelphia-phill.simplecast.com/episodes/elite…

@TyDaubert @PhilliesNation In AAA - had ERA 5+ with 4 BB/9. Should never have been put into Phils rotation. Wasn’t ready. Still isn’t

Rookie Andrew Painter's night was rough from the get-go in a blowout Phillies loss: "First time he's kind of really gotten punched early in the face" philliesnation.com/2026/05/philad…

@espnpodcasts @Buster_ESPN @PerezEd Just another casualty of baseballs obsession w/spin rate and max velocity. How many pitchers blow out arms before this ends?

"The person? I'm betting on. The player? I'm doubling down on." @PerezEd & @Buster_ESPN on Tarik Skubal undergoing elbow surgery 👇

@kmelchert91 @ToddZolecki If he were here on merit, I’d give him a few starts yet. But hes not. I’d send him out now so he can learn.

@ToasterToes @ToddZolecki One more start, if he still struggles then option him

The book is closed on Andrew Painter. He allowed seven hits, eight runs, three walks, three home runs and struck out two in just 3 2/3 innings. He gave up all three homers on two-strike fastballs. He has a 6.89 ERA.

@charlottevarnes Had lousy numbers in AAA last year. Never should have been given rotation spot. Wasn’t ready - still isn’t

Andrew Painter has given up three home runs tonight, the latest to Jacob Wilson. It is 7-0 A’s with one out in the third.

@TimKellySports @OnPattison AAA last year 5.4 ERA with hi BB rate and over 1 H/IP. Phils should never have been handed him a rotation slot. Wasn’t ready then - isn’t now.

The line is closed on Andrew Painter: 3 2/3 IP, 7 H, 8 ER, 3 BB, 2 K, 3 HR It feels like he's been better than his numbers would lead you to believe this year, but the last two starts have spiked his ERA to 6.89. @OnPattison

@GDubMLB @Buster_ESPN Honest question - how does any pitcher strain a hammy that bad?

Reds closer Pagán says he’s got Grade 2 strain in the hammy. Said docs say 4-8 weeks before he returns to mound for Reds. Better than he expected after level of pain Tuesday night. “Leaving the field yesterday I thought my season was done.”

@Espngreeny Wish you gave MLB a slice of the airtime that WWE gets and stopped Rex Ryan's "highlights" of MLB homers - but hey - I guess you go where the numbers are

Our group continues to grow and grow, thanks to all the hard work by every member of the team, but mostly because of all of you who choose to Get Up with us in the morning. Thanks so much for your support, we hope we start your days with a smile.

@OnPattison @TimKellySports Painter AAA ERA in ‘25 was over 5. His ERA this year is over 5. He’s not - and wasn’t - ready to face MLB hitters.

Andrew Painter struggles in Florida homecoming as Phillies lose first game under Don Mattingly ✏️ : @timkellysports onpattison.com/news/2026/may/…

@ToddZolecki Guess this his age happens when your roster has 13 pitchers and 2 non-hitting catchers

Justin Crawford has been scratched from the Phillies lineup because of a migraine. Garrett Stubbs will start in LF, Adolis Garcia in CF and Felix Reyes in RF. Brandon Marsh got drilled on the right elbow last night, so he's unavailable.

@ToddZolecki So Marchan is more valuable than Moore?

J.T. Realmuto is back from the 10-day IL. To make room on the 26-man roster, Dylan Moore has been DFA'd. Phillies will carry three catchers moving forward: Realmuto, Rafael Marchan and Garett Stubbs.
