I don't disagree, but making it at least that far, especially when they hadn't won the division, still felt decently satisfying.

2025 was more heartbreaking for the Phillies, because the season itself was less complicated. I'm grateful for the good times--we'll always have August!--but the postseason pattern since 2022 is so clear that it feels like only a lockout can complete this whatever's-the-opposite-of-a-royal-flush.

Oh, phenomenal. I was there for the amazing home run larceny!

At least Phillies legend Derek Hill has continued to play his role down to the last act. That guy understands a throughline.

Seriously, this feels like a baseball movie tailored specifically to me. I only wish it were.

Congratulations, you have won the perfect gif competition!

This feels like the Nola Day of all Nola Days. My stomach has correspondingly set the spin cycle on "high."

He did say "Baseball is excruciating...in the postseason," but I kind of prefer it without the clarification.

I feel like a mom who is so relieved that my child wove his way through four lanes of traffic and I'm so proud of him for being so brave but also like NEVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN

I will be on set tomorrow, so listening in it will be!

Favorite Scott Franzke pulls from today: 2. Baseball is excruciating 1. Table for two at the Chop House (after Schwarber/Harper back to back homers)

Yesterday I watched the game at home on TV and today I listened to the entire thing running around Manhattan, and I am so relieved to have faced the trauma that I have from listening to an extra-innings elimination game on the 7 train and exorcized it.

Ellen Adair @ellenadair.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I am so, so happy for Andrew Painter. No matter what happens, what a beautiful story to tell from his bounce-back season. I was equal parts ANDREW I BELIEVE IN YOU and prepared to never forgive Don Mattingly for doing this to him, but I am so thrilled and so relieved.

What do the Phillies say to the God of Bad Defense Offseason Discourse? NOT TODAY

Thank you for the content advisory!

I took this picture of me following Aaron Nola's no-hit bid from my dressing room and I didn't post it because jinx (obviously) and then I decided I also didn't want to jinx the game itself, so anyway, HE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND HE RIDES A PEGASUS and I can’t wait to watch it when I get home

This is a terrific read for those who are baseball historians and the monumental effort it took to find and digitize scoresheets. Without this work, @fangraphs.com and @baseball-reference.com would be severely lacking in data www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...

This book tells the story of how the volunteer team gathered years of historical game logs and digitized them for posterity (ie, us). Fun for baseball fans & history fans!

An extremely belated thank you to @jaywigley.bsky.social for sending me his book HOW RETROSHEET SAVED BASEBALL HISTORY! Any current FanGraphs or Baseball Reference fan has Retrosheet to thank!

Oh, thank you so much! I prepared for this role by having already listened to dozens of episodes of Radiolab. 😅 The book is SO beautiful -- I hope you enjoyed! I was partial to the pair of stories about the awk, but I also liked the spookier ones, too!

Seven innings in two hours and 48 minutes. This is modern baseball heritage.

Oh, Philly is definitely cutting its pizza in the most chaos way possible, and I say this with love

Certainly up there with two innings of Justin Wrobleski when you have half of all of the best pitchers on the planet and only nine innings

Gotta say, of all the baffling things about this All-Star Game, people leaving in the 9th is up there. As if the point of this game was ever the outcome, and not just a chance to get to see all these guys play together?

Thank you. Fangraphs is totally different. I was prepared to use whichever one proved the point I wanted to make.

I also think of this every time I watch Brandon step into the box. "Believe, Brandon," I say, to my living room, to my dog. I have always believed in him -- which is what I also told him when I got to give him the picture I drew of him! -- and I am SO thrilled with what he's been doing this season.

Ellen Adair @ellenadair.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

In the following challenging months, there were lot of times when I, dweeb that I am, touched the spot on my own arm where Brandon's tattoo is and thought: Believe. It always made me sweetly weepy, but truly, things worked out for the best. It meant a lot to me.

150 5

Ellen Adair @ellenadair.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Brandon said that was what he thought every time he stepped into the box. Believe -- not just in himself, he said, but in his teammates, in their collective will and strength. Believe in the best possible outcome. At the time, this made my sentimental little eyes water.

Ellen Adair @ellenadair.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

The sign for Brandon Marsh has some extra context. When I got to meet Brandon in 2024, it was a challenging time in my life. I half-jokingly asked him for some mindset coaching. With sweet sincerity, he pointed to a tattoo that he had, that said "Believe."

It was not a choice that I made,* but it is very hilarious that Phillies fans booed all non-Phillies players in the Home Run Derby introductions *Okay I booed Ben Rice because Yankees

Lifelong dream to attend the Home Run Derby, finally made possible by our Anonymous Benevolent Ticket Angel! Rooting for a 2018 rematch with a Schwarber victory (just to even things out) but mostly rooting for a multitude of monstrous dingers!

Life & work have been a LOT recently, but at long last I am seeing my Phillies live and in person and it is also Pride Night. Happy Pride! Happy baseball! Battle of the Zack(ch)s! Phillies already up! Everything is momentarily perfect.
