@PhilsTailgate Poor guy

NEWS: The Phillies have officially signed First Round Draft Pick Tyler Spangler!

@SportsRadioWIP @MrUram …watching someone else win championships

Bryce Harper reacts to LeBron James signing with the Sixers calling it “pretty cool,” adding he's not shocked. “It's gonna be a lot of fun.” 🔥 (via: @MrUram)

@vani_hanamirian I could care less about LeBron

At this point the Phillies could miss the playoffs and no one would give a crap. #lebron

@MrUram @SportsRadioWIP @KYWNewsradio They’re never concerned. Having so much money you could never count will do that. Baseball is secondary.

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto was asked about their 2-5 start out of the All-Star break. @SportsRadioWIP @KYWNewsradio

@SportsRadioWIP @MrUram We love winning we just don’t get much of it

Trea Turner was asked about advice for LeBron James after signing with the Philadelphia 76ers: “I don't need to give no advice there. He can do whatever the hell he wants but the city loves winning so, win.” (via: @MrUram)

@JeffSkversky LeBron has championships. Does Bryce??

Bryce Harper on LeBron James The Phillies star says he’s not surprised LeBron James picked Philly and Sixers

@ArcainiLuke His last couple years they’ll be winning 60-70 games

Trea Turner now has 17 errors on the season. He had 15 coming into tonight. One was just made on the ball up the middle from Volpe. The other was a scoring change from the ball up the middle from Andy Pages on Monday in the 6th inning.

@PhilsTailgate @JimSalisbury215 He should not do that

“[Buxton] apparently told a Phillies player last summer he would waive [his no trade clause] to come here.” -@JimSalisbury215

@MattGelb I feel like this is something a team like the Angels or Rockies would do. Not a team that “thinks”‘ its a contender.

Brian Keller, a 32-year-old righty who has never pitched in the majors, is here with Phillies. He’s going to be put on the roster Saturday and will either start or pitch in bulk relief. He was a Yankees’ 39th rounder in 2016. Has thrown strikes at AAA this year.

@ToddZolecki Wow. We’re turning into the Rockies quicker than I anticipated.

The Phillies placed C Rafael Marchan on the 15-day IL with patellar tendinitis in his left knee. C Payton Henry had his contract selected from Triple-A to take his place on the 40-man roster. Brad Keller placed on the 60-day IL.

@PhilliesNation *except for the Phillies

It's an exciting time for Philadelphia sports.

@EaglesUniGuy @J_61126 @PhilsTailgate This team is average. Face facts.

@J_61126 @PhilsTailgate <7 games back with >17 games to go is not out of reach

The Phillies are about to be 5.5 games back in the NL East.

@ToddZolecki Five games out of first now and wild card lead down to one

Yankees 1, Phillies 0 Cam Schlittler was excellent, but the Phillies have scored one or zero runs in 24 games this season, tied with the A's for the most in baseball.

@Phillies Irrelevant though. This team has no batters. It will be very interesting to see what you post in two years when they are buried in 5th place.

9 Ks from Zeus

@PhilsTailgate We have great pitching, no bats. Keep expectations low.

Jesus Luzardo was fantastic tonight! 7.0 IP | 3 H | 1 ER | 1 BB | 9 K 105 Pitches | 69 Strikes

@schadjoe Possibly worse. She’s so misguided. .

Statement from USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour

@JClarkNBCS Man, he's going to be so good in 2030. Can't wait!

42–15: Phillies record when Sanchez, Wheeler, Luzardo start. 14-32: when anyone else starts The Phillies have lost 5 straight games that Aaron Nola has started. He has given up the most home runs in baseball since the start of the 2023 season. He has a 5.82 ERA this year. Do the Phillies need to trade for a starter?

@MattGelb Yeah cause that’s what great teams do. I just can’t understand why this organization can’t learn from its mistakes.

It’ll depend on how next few days go, but Phillies could just bullpen it on Saturday.

@jrutter135 @PhilliesNation After this year it’s 4 more

@markvarner @PhilliesNation Thought it is 5

Aaron Nola’s final line tonight vs. the Dodgers.

@PhilsTailgate @BrendanJConnor Having Bader for a couple months didn’t really do anything. His 2024 and 2023 years were horrible.

@BrendanJConnor He had a very good deadline last year! Not great offseason, but I’m more confident with him when it comes to trades than free agent signings.

Last week on @Phillies_Weekly, we got a few questions about the Phillies not having enough in the farm system to cover all of their needs at the deadline. Dave Dombrowski disagrees.
