You probably don’t care
But I do!
Breaking: Bryce Harper has been cleared to play by the Phillies just 159 days after Tommy John surgery, sources tell @JeffPassan.
He was initially expected to return in July and is now expected to be in the lineup starting at designated hitter Tuesday. pic.twitter.com/s9xxLpiJLa

Sixers take Game One
What a great game. So much fun to watch, especially Tyrese Maxey stealing the ball for a last minute trey. This should shut up all the people who say the Sixers can’t hustle. On the road, against the Celtics? Without Joel Embid? Damn.
By the way, the last time the Sixers won on the Celtics’ home turf was in 1981.

20 thoughts on Phillies in 2023
1) most anticipated opening day in 15 years
2) most talented roster in history of Phillies franchise
3) Dombrowski will still inevitably make a blockbuster trade
4) how will they play with a target on their back? From “hunters” 2 hunted

One more week to opening day
And then this happened today:

It’s difficult to put into words how unfortunate this is — for both the Phillies and Rhys Hoskins.
Just brutal. https://t.co/G7mzs9N2rZ

Decent
Dodgers Dugout: It would be easy for the Dodgers to cut ties with Andrew Toles and wish him well. Instead, they have renewed his contract every year so Toles, 30, can keep his health insurance. They did so again this year. It shouldn’t go unnoticed.https://t.co/UaiDp8OlFI

Grapefruit League
Now that the CTE Bowl is over, I’d like to inform you that this week is the start of pitchers and catcher reporting to spring training. (For the Phillies, it’s Thursday in Clearwater, Florida.)
Of course, it wouldn’t be the MLB without them trying to sidestep controversy:
Serious question: Where is @MLB? They’ve removed this book and Hank Aaron’s. MLB really should assert itself here and let @RonDeSantisFL know this is unacceptable. In fact, if I were the Rays & Marlins, I’d give away copies of this book to fans on Opening Day. https://t.co/U1MeQeMEUy

Hanging in there
So, here’s a thing that happened
I had a feeling all year, even when I’d stop watching for a week because I was disgusted with them:

FINAL: Phillies 4, Padres 3
The Philadelphia Phillies are going to the World Series, thanks to an iconic go-ahead home run from Bryce Harper in Game 5 of the NLCS..
Last year, the Phillies wouldn't have made the playoffs. Now, as a 6 seed, they're four wins from a championship.
