  • What are the Next Steps of the Philadelphia Phillies

    The next steps of the Philadelphia Phillies have oftentimes been rough, as of late.

    Kyle Schwarber just finished a fantastic season with 56 home runs, almost tying Ryan Howard’s previous record. Zack Wheeler undergone surgery for his arm. Bryce Harper proved he was not an elite batter, according to Dave Dombrowski.

    The trade speculation has been hot for Harper, in particular. He told the Athletic Saturday, of the betrayal.

    The Phillies have up-and-coming prospect Justin Crawford approaching and it would not hurt for them to seek lee way for the son of former All-Star, Carl Crawford.

    Not only that, the Phils could sign Kazuma Okamoto who recently became posted by Japan and hosts a real good chance at being one of the best to come out of the 2023 World Baseball Classic.

    I would not expect the Los Angeles Dodgers to sign him. If they do, it is a swing-and-miss.

    Andrew Painter is also being promoted next year and it would not hurt for the Phillies to take a step back and realize the potential of this team with younger talent.

    Bryce Harper’s time is coming to an end.

    He has long been a solo mark in the history of Major League Baseball since one of the most historic athletes to land.on the cover of Sports Illustrated. J.T. Realmuto, Bryson Stott, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, and Schwarber all supported the move of Harper but that ship has sank since 2022.

    The Phillies want to get ahead of themselves before they live in the past and Dombrowski was right.

    This is a business decision, not a priceless one. Dombrowski worked with some of the best and he does not want to rip his reputation or Philadelphia. Harper must admit, he has to play better next season, if he truly loves the city of Brotherly Love.

  • What is Next for Phillies?

    The Phillies lost their final of the 2025 MLB season 1-2 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Former Phil and coach Howie Kendrick without no hesitation that the Phils would swing into this series dead even, but instead the worst happened when newer reliever Orion Kerkering blew a game with the waning seconds remaining!

    94 WIP, local Phillies radio station, called this a travesty and similar to Ben Simmons not dunking the ball.

    It is sour, is it not.

    What is worse the Phillies fall back into a scenario they have to regroup with a hopeful new GM, Preston Mattingly, the son of Don Mattingly.

    Don has come up across scenarios like this, as a former head coach for the Dodgers. The Dodgers are luckily headed to their 7th NLCS with future Hall of Fame manager, Dave Roberts.

    He has just done an absolute job than former interim manager, Rob Thomson.

    Thomson faced the questions already last night from reporters whether his job is secure and he simply said the best he could was go check on sixty other heartbroken men that adjourned on the road, just to lose against the Dodgers.

    Many questions face the Phillies but it is unfair to say jobs come down to Dave Dombrowski or Thomson at the moment.

  • The Evolution of Bryce

    The Evolution of Bryce

    Bryce Harper is a man of his words.

    When he first began in Major League Baseball, he played smart and competitively as a younger teenage phenomenon.

    Fast forward to today, Bryce suits up for the proud stand-up Philadelphia Phillies organization of baseball. If you go on YouTube, take a strong look at all the acrimony that took place til his Phillies introductory press conference.

    Has Bryce lived up to the big stage and moment of the 2025 MLB World Series?

    That depends on who you ask, but, Bryce has taken the Phillies by his shoulders and tried to recreate history, especially when he discusses things on his mind with the media, too.

    Bryce is Bryce.

    This season, he will hit, again, close to the 134 mark in 2023 and try to ring in Runs Batted In close to the same year. This very year, it was always about Bryce Harper despite what critics want to say.

    People forget Kyle Schwarber low-balled himself in Boston and could have retired, then, but it was Bryce who uplifted this team from its misery. Beside, Ryan Howard was a great ball player that can still match vise versa as to what decisions have to be made by Bryce and the whole rest of the team.

    Bryce and Schwarber have been a reckoning force during the offseason, that was the regular season, so, they must regroup now and all use their past attributes to recreate history.

  • Why Kyle Schwarber is a Coward

    Kyle Schwarber is a coward for all the right reasons. He is arrogant, manipulative, and powerful. It has led him to NL MVP conversations over the course of this season. Manager Rob Thomson could not get enough of praising him while his job was on the line.

    The Phillies have until September 28, 2025 to determine whether they are the crowning achievers of the NL East. Schwarber started his career in Chicago, Washington, and Boston. Why all of a sudden is he hitting the ball so fantastic?

    It is simply because of getting accustomed to playing in Citizens Bank Park and playing behind a No.1 hitter, still, in 2021 NL MVP, Bryce Harper. Harper is the essence of the Philadelphia Phillies organization, not Schwarber. Schwarber made up his mind after all the dingers, community fundraising, and Dave Dombrowski that this team was headed in a new direction with or without him.

    The Phillies have a gigantic decision to make which they have never done in their organizational philosophy. Do you overpay a surmountable money to a player that is passing through colors of his prime in Philadelphia or trust the cap-off of a 2025 MLB World Series?

    It was cowardice Schwarber did not extend a deal with one of the best organizations in professional baseball but nobody knows where his heart or Cal Raleigh’s lies just yet until they ultimately go and play MLB postseason team baseball.

    It has been an interesting season of baseball. There is nobody still as transcendent looking on the outside such as Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge who are hanging onto every last breath with their respective teams from last year’s World Series classic between Los Angeles and New York.
