We have truly seen a lifetime's worth of playoff bullpen meltdowns in the last four years.

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Incredible job by Jesús Luzardo. As much as I do not care for Dave Dombrowski's roster construction, that was a massive trade.

I know it is fruitless complaining about the same thing over and over again on social media, but it really cannot be emphasized enough how terrible this Trea Turner season has been.

Lots of good stuff from Hurts so far today. Second straight week the offensive line has just not been good enough.

The Jesús Luzardo injury is an incredible bummer, no way around it.

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Luzardo injury is such a bummer, there is no way around it. Looking at his pitch counts, it probably has less to do with the one Braves masterpiece than the accumulation of a really heavy post-ASG workload.

Landon Dickerson to IR, (probably) Drew Kendall Time for the Eagles

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

The MLB trade deadline is such a crapshoot. Last year, to little fanfare the Phillies trade for Harrison Bader who goes on to have the best two months of his career. This year, the Phillies trade for Luis Arraez who has been so bad he should probably be hitting 7th in the order.

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Disappointing from Duran, but the offense has gotta do better against that pitcher. For whatever reason, the Phillies just have not been a very good offense during day games this season. ⚾ Night games: .731 OPS (11th) ⚾ Day games: .676 OPS (28th)

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Went to look up Jhoan Duran's splits, and was surprised to see he entered today with a lower ERA in non-save situations than save situations. Does not feel that way. Anyway, that is the first really bad week of the season from the Phillies' closer.

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I get why he didn't, but I kinda wish Don Mattingly benched Alec Bohm after that baserunning mistake. It is not a matter of singling Bohm out. He's been good today, and is far from the only offender. But I wish the whole team could see a consequence for dumbass baserunning.

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

The Eagles defense is loaded. Star-level talent at every level, and a legendary coordinator pulling the strings. And yet, I am most intrigued by Jalyx Hunt.

The Sixers own top-three protected first-round swap rights with the LA Clippers in 2029. I am told by an NBA spokesperson that that will remain the case; LA is being stripped of the Indiana Pacers' 2029 first-rounder. TLDR: Sixers' 2029 Clippers swap will remain exactly in tact.

Clippers also own the Pacers' unprotected pick in 2029, guessing that's the one that gets stripped?

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

So, is that Clippers swap in 2029 still top-three protected for the Sixers? What is the deal with that?

The quality of the average hit that Jhoan Duran gives up is the worst I think I've ever seen. Two garbage hits aside, that was an awesome inning from him. He was electric.

Hilarious that the Eagles had FOUR guys claimed from what felt like a pretty meh depth pool and none of them were the guy who I was worried about losing (Weru). Howie’s fabled intel canvassing operation strikes again.

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

For the first four-plus months, the Phillies were a below-average offense that relied on homers. ⚾ Pre-August on-base percentage: .303 (30th) ⚾ Pre-August walk rate: 7.8% (28th) ⚾ Pre-August strikeout rate: 23.7% (25th) ⚾ Pre-August home runs: 140 (8th)

Alec Bohm late innings this series: - Friday: Down 1 in the 9th with one out and the bases loaded, grounder and force play at home - Saturday: Tie game in the 10th inning, does not record a simple out at first base - Sunday: Chance to win game with sac fly in the 10th, pop-up

Rich Hofmann @richhofmann.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Two things I think can be true here: 1. Mattingly not going to Raley to face the lefty seems like another brutal decision. 2. Kerkering and Alvarado not being able to pitch a single inning without putting three guys on base makes things really, really hard.

Jose Alvarado consistently has no idea where the baseball is going.

Lewis Kalb grew up in Detroit with dreams of becoming a broadcaster. He pursued this for decades, and even auditioned to be the Sixers' PA voice in the 90s. Last night, he found an audience. A big audience. “I didn’t have a career, but I had my moment" www.inquirer.com/phillies/lew...
