@ScottCiglinsky Dvorak doesn't have a NTC for the whole term and Coots is strictly a 4th liner now.

BREAKING: Dylan Larkin requests trade from Detroit, per @FriedgeHNIC. #LGRW https://t.co/G5kokwnGQL

@StevenHAsness His uncle would agree

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

Danny has a chance to do something funny here, especially if he would tell Jiricek to give up #5

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

Darnell Nurse and the Edmonton Oilers are headed for a breakup. The only question seems to be when.

@SportsnetSpec has the details. https://t.co/klxnvYqXAr

@ScottCiglinsky I think they're re-signing Zegras

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

@StevenHAsness Not saying go all in on him but definitely pick up the phone

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

@ScottCiglinsky Why would Detroit do that? They would want younger players and draft picks. Good news is that when you add another available C to the market it helps the buyers

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

@hgphillies @bradleyryder @Raiderfrank65 He's driven the ball hard and knocked in runs 2 games in a row. Not enough for me to change my opinion on the signing, but its a step in the right direction

@ChipReiderson look up his wife, she's far from random

@2008Philz @sonnyblast it was a Joe Conklin CD

"Richie Ashburn never really held the respect of most fans outside Philadelphia.
The majors had three other center fielders who were that talk of the town at that time, Mays, Snider, and Mantle.
But Richie was a great player.
A natural lead-off hitter and the best gloveman of the bunch.
When the 1950's came to an end, Ashburn had MORE hits than any other man who played during the era.
That's right, MORE than Musial, MORE than Williams, MORE than Mantle, or Mays or Snider."
Erick Emert.
I'm flattered that so many baseball people think I'm a Hall of Famer.
But what's hard to believe is how, one-hundred and fifty plus people have changed their minds about me since I became eligible, because I haven't had a base hit since then."
Richie Ashburn.
Richie Ashburn was elected to 6 All-Star teams, won the National League batting title twice, and the National League stolen base title once.
After his playing career, he became an announcer for the Phillies on TV and radio from 1963 until his death in 1997. Broadcasting partner Harry Kalas once had a woman under the arch in St. Louis.
Kalas came to the game with grass stains on his suit.
Richie Ashburn said on the air that day:
"Harry, they tell me you can get to the top of that thing.
Have you ever been up it.
I know you've been under it."
Another of Harry Kalas's girlfriend's was a woman named Faith.
One year when the Phillies were terrible, Ashburn said on the air:
"You have to have faith.
And Harry, I know you've had Faith all summer long."
"The Tilden Flash!"

Happy “Your Brother Billy…Whatever Happened There?!” Day if you’re observing it….

20 years ago today, June 4, 2006, ‘Little’ Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. was holding court in an adult education classroom, demonstrating the fine art of igniting and extinguishing chaos simultaneously.

The only 3 players in the Live-Ball Era with a scoreless streak of at least 50 innings:

1988 Orel Hershiser - 59.0 IP
1968 Don Drysdale - 58.0 IP
2026 Cristopher Sanchez - 50.2 IP

One of the greatest runs we will ever see 🔔

Cristopher Sánchez cements his place among some of baseball's legends 🫡

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

@Brianthemovie who cares? I'm talking about what's going on now

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

3 years ago the Phillies were represented in the All-Star Game by Rob Thomson, Craig Kimbrel and Nick Castellanos. So far this season, both players have been DFA'ed and Thomson got fired

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

Sanchez gave up a run, so there goes any chance of a Phillies win

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

@ScottCiglinsky He's still here, so probably yes

[Ray Moffo @RayMoffo]

and they did it while in Philly

[Bob Nightengale @BNightengale]

The Nick Castellanos experiment ends in San Diego after two months.
The Padres DFA him today.
