  • My Appreciation for Kyle Schwarber

    Kyle Schwarber agreed to a five year, $150 million deal on Tuesday and it took more than 30 days to cash in. Schwarber knew he wanted to be a Phillies player and got the job done.

    Rather than sign for more money or opting for a home reunion in Cincinnati, he ensured Philadelphia was his No.1 destination to continue local sponsorships and raise his children.

    My appreciation for Kyle Schwarber reaches far beyond the 300 level of the CBP right field wall. Schwarber has catapulted into an insisted clubhouse leader and due diligence to reinvigorate the Phillies, once more.

    This opens the door for the Phillies to trade Bryce Harper and receive more value for their buck. The Phillies have a nice core of talent and they cannot fail in what they do.

    Whether that means bringing back J.T. Realmuto or reintroducing the search for other young talent in free agency. the Phillies must not fail under a prized possession in the game of slugging percentage.

  • Breaking: Kyle Schwarber Re-signs with Phillies

  • 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.

  • Philly Kingdom – Phillies lose in critical NLDS situation

  • 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.

  • Where Zack Wheeler Ranks in Phillies Galore

    Zack Wheeler will return next season. At age 36, it will not be pleasant or the same. Wheeler has been riding on a wave for well over a decade with the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets. Scouts knew just how special and talented Wheeler was going to become.

    In Phillies history, he has ranked with some of the best in terms of strikeouts. Aaron Nola is fourth ahead, however, on that list and has respected his dues to the Phillies as a respectable organization and Wheeler himself.

    Wheeler recently suffered a blood clot in his throwing shoulder and there has been speculation about MLB superstars Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani hurting the same. Could it be a matter of the pitch clock and sudden realignment? This is crazy, someone might think.

    Velocity is extremely on fire, and, meanwhile sixth-round pick Bryan Woo, of the Seattle Mariners, is pitching 25 consecutive games, alongside home run sensation Cal Raleigh, and allowing 2 walks or fewer in six innings. Something that has not been set since Zack Greinke in 2015.

    Truth be told, Wheeler has a great legacy to be told, mostly with Philadelphia. He was unsuccessful in the 2022 MLB World Series between the Houston Astros as he went 0-2 with a 5.23 ERA. A feat to be certain Wheeler would want to ascertain in his own determination and feedback.

    The most historic achievement is when Wheeler last pitched a 0.73 WHIP in at least 50 innings during the MLB Postseason and was fantastic. There may come a true calling card with Wheeler but it is definitely standing side-by-side with Aaron Nola if the two do not ever pair, yet, again.

  • Is Kyle Schwarber Worth $300 million According to David Samson?

    Yes or No?

    Samson

    No, Kyle Schwarber is not worth $300 million in the midst of August. He still has yet to prove the significance of his past as compared to his past prior to the Phillies. He needs to hone on the postseason to embrace the Philadelphia community. They will likely budge but Cincinnati is the likely destination with sources that will aim high like any team is willing to deal for a player that might go sky range depending on his worth on the market.

  • Kyle Schwarber Asked About Joining Hometown Team in FA

    When asked about joining his hometown Cincinnati youth in free agency by Scott Lauber of the Inquirer, Kyle Schwarber candidly said, “Being able to play for your childhood team is something that I think it’d be awesome.”

    Awesome, you might add Lauber decided to ask, “Being a baseball fan and growing up and watching Cincinnati baseball for your whole youth, that’s how fall in love with baseball, I would draw your attention, right?”

    The Reds are in the thick of a Wild Card race with first year manager Terry Francona leading a 58-54 record. Cincinnati has pitching prospects Chase Burns and Rhett Lowder called up and you could argue the best home run leader of his generation compared to Babe Ruth would make a swing for the fences in Great American Ball Park.

    Citizens Bank Park might become more dwindling as days countdown. We will never know an answer unless the Philadelphia Phillies, play ball to the drum of the history of Pete Rose, Mike Schmidt, Bryce Harper, and Kyle Schwarber.
