Veterans Stadium is a Philly sports podcast for Philly sports fans. Bryan is an active duty Army officer with love for his hometown teams, ready to give unsolicited takes on the latest news out of South Philadelphia. Phillies, Eagles, Flyers and Sixers
The Phillies trade Logan O'Hoppe, Mickey Moniak, and Ben Brown for Brandon Marsh and Noah Syndergaard from Anaheim, and David Robertson from Chicago. They've won 9 of 10 and the vibes are immaculate. Phillies go for their second four-game sweep in two weeks.
The Phillies polished off a 4-game sweep of the Pirates before hitting the road for Atlanta after the trade deadline. Who will the Phils pick up besides Edmundo Sosa? Should they trade Painter or Abel for a mid-rotation starter? (me thinks no)
Phillies get swept by the hapless Cubs but come back in Game 1 vs. Atlanta. Stott improving at the plate and Bohm continues to cruise in July.James Harden declined his player option to restructure a deal, saves the Sixers about $10M to improve around him.Flyers hire John Tortorella but miss out on Johnny Gaudreau and are quiet in free agency.
The Phillies sweep the Marlins to round out the 1st half and head into the All-Star Break in a playoff position. How many home runs will Kyle Schwarber hit in the derby? Why wasn't Aaron Nola an All-Star? Who will the Phillies trade for at the deadline?
The Phillies officially sit in the third wild card spot after a mediocre first two months of the season. Their bullpen has had the best ERA in MLB over the last two weeks. Schwarber NL POTM, Hoskins NL POTW. Everybody hits, woohoo!
Bryce Harper broke his thumb on Saturday after being hit by an up-and-in fastball by Blake Snell, but the Phillies were able to win the 4-game set in San Diego. How will Nick Castellanos rise to the occasion in the DH role? How will the offense step up to fill the void? Who will the Phillies pursue at the deadline? Will Trea Turner join Philadelphia next season?
The Phillies won their 4th straight series by walking it off against Miami on Wednesday. They sit 11-2 in June and head to Washington for a five-game set.
The Phillies fired Joe Girardi on Friday but have since swept the Angels after an offensive outburst and some clutch hitting by the Vegas Boys. Didi returns to the lineup but Segura, Camargo, and Maton are out.
Aaron Nola struck out ten in 8.1 innings to split the Phillies first season series with Atlanta. The Phils should have taken 3 of 4, but a familiarly bad bullpen performance blew the save in game 3. Quick Eagles draft recap and five seconds on the Sixers and Flyers.
Rob Manfred officially cancelled the first two series of the MLB season after the league and MLBPA failed to reach an agreement on the CBA. The league is 100% to blame. James Harden is still legit.
Daryl Morey has traded Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and picks to the Nets for James Harden. Rob Manfred finally held a press conference about the lockout.
The owners don't seem to be negotiating with the MLBPA. Claude Giroux is hot. Ben Simmons remains in trade rumor purgatory while the Sixers continue to win. Tanking and racism in the NFL?
David Ortiz has been inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame while Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are snubbed once again. Updates on the Eagles, Flyers (yuck) and Sixers.
MLB and the MLBPA met and liked each other so much, they scheduled a second date tomorrow. Who will the Phillies sign once the lockout ends?
Braves won the WS, Harper takes home a ton of hardware, Zack Wheeler was kinda snubbed, and billions of dollars have already been shelled out in free agency. Who will the Phillies sign to improve their outfield and bullpen?
Phillies hire new hitting coach, I give my report card for the Phillies 2021 starting infield (Bohm, Didi, Segura, Hoskins)
The Phillies miss the playoffs for the 10th year in a row. I share my individual award picks and postseason predictions.
The Phils took 3 of 4 from Arizona to (somewhat) avenge last week's sweep in the desert. Hoskins is out for the year, Eflin is likely to follow suit. Realmuto is day-to-day as they start a 3-game set in Washington.
The Phillies won their series against the Padres in San Diego (that should have been a sweep), but lost both games at home against the Rays. Rhys Hoskins briefly returned from the IL, but is now done for the season. He will undergo season ending surgery.
The Phillies have lost 7 of their last 9 games, including being swept by the Diamondbacks, and are now 4 GB in the NL East. They'll look to gain ground in the wild card race in a 3 game set against San Diego tonight (8/20).
Zack Wheeler threw a gem to sweep his former team as the Phillies honor Roy Halladay. Their 8-game win streak came to an end on Tuesday against a strong Dodgers team, but they salvaged the series with a win in game 3 behind a strong outing from Ranger Suarez and the bullpen.
Phillies trade Spencer Howard to bolster the back of their starting rotation and bullpen. Looking to sweep the Nats ahead of an important home stand. Phils sit 1.5 GB in the NL East.
Phillies started July hot but have lost 3 straight. Can they get back on track before the trade deadline and take the NL East?
Phillies swept the Brewers in a 4-game series at CBP, then crushed the Braves 12-2. Eagles draft recap.
