Phillies

Weston Wilson drove in four runs in the 7-4 win, and manager Rob Thomson said winning pitcher Andrew Baker was "excellent."

Wilson, who played in right field for the Phillies on Saturday went 2-for-2 with four RBIs, a walk, and a home run. The game will be streamed on WIP and televised on On the mound: Nick Nelson made a scoreless one-inning start for the Phillies, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout. “I was in the windup, and we banged the whole windup last year and went to stretch, because that’s the simplest delivery,” Baker said. He’s a name to keep an eye on this spring, as the Phillies have an open spot in their bullpen, and fits the profile of optinonable depth the Phillies say they’re looking for. It took me about til midway last year for it to finally click, and when it did, it just went up from there.”

Darick Hall said listening to Manuel about his swing is "kind of like when you actually listen to your parents."

Hall says he is the type of hitter who needs to learn things on his own. But then last year, he realized that golfers don’t scoop the ball; they swing down on it. But over the years, he thought more about Manuel’s words and came to a realization. He compared his swing to how a golf swing looks on TV. “You got to keep your top hand loose and whip it like an axe,” Manuel said, swinging the bat down as he talked. “That’s what the good hitters do,” Hall said. Hall was trying to scoop the ball up and ended up with a lot of top spin as a result. Playing their first game under MLB’s new rule changes, the Phillies committed no violations. “Last year, 37.” It’s kind of like when you actually listen to your parents.” He took a few swings as Charlie Manuel, leaning against the batting cage as he often does, looked on. Back then, he was all about launch angle and swinging up.

The Philadelphia Phillies have a rotation so strong it could mean even Craig Kimbrel is not the first choice to close.

Life goes on for the two ex-Phillies who were traded to Detroit, but they left behind strong bonds. "We miss the guys," Kyle Schwarber said.

“I’m always going to remember that,” Vierling said. “He’s obviously really good at it,” Vierling said. “The veterans didn’t develop that culture over there,” Maton said. “He’s just a good-hearted person and he’s always there.” And Maton? “I mean, it’s mutual,” Vierling said. I’m always going to remember that.” He wanted to make sure this was clear to Vierling and Maton: “We miss the guys,” Schwarber said. “The young guys developed that culture over there. “Matty is just one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet,” Schwarber said. “I’m glad we did it because we’re going through this together,” Vierling said. I was like, ‘There’s no way that this guy is going to be able to keep this up every single day.’ And this guy kept it up every single day. “I consider myself a development guy, and I always will.

"That's the display of throwing strikes, and that was good to see, especially as his first outing." A big credit to the target being good." "I had (the pitch clock) for two months in Triple-A last year," Hill said. The best pitcher out of the bullpen was Rule 5 draft pick Mason Englert, a right-hander from the Texas Rangers. In the first inning, Hill struck out former Tiger Nick Castellanos with a nasty down-and-away slider. "I just started working on that specific gyro slider two days ago in my bullpen," Hill said. The 24-year-old seems likely to play an everyday role in Triple-A Toledo at the beginning of the regular season. He was responsible for a single, a wild pitch, a hit-by-pitch, a double and a walk, along with a pitch clock violation that handed out a free ball. "The first thing you notice is the dead time in between at-bats, or in between pitches, goes away." Parker will have something on Austin now for a while." "I can't imagine what that feels like for a family member to do that with their parents in the stands. "That's a quick game, with a clock or without a clock," manager A.J.

Grapefruit League opener: Detroit Tigers vs. Philadelphia Phillies: 1:05 p.m.; Publix Field at Joker Marchant Stadium, Lakeland, Florida; WXYT-AM.

The Philadelphia Phillies had their first Grapefruit League action on Saturday afternoon as they took down the New York Yankees.

Turner said their hitting sessions involve “a lot of yelling, to make the people around us uncomfortable.” “And a lot of times you’re not doing well with this game just because you fail so much. If you’re getting a hit one-third of the time, you’re statistically at the top of the league. “He’s got an innate ability to talk trash to you everyday but also make you feel like you’re the best hitter alive.” “The game is so hard that you have to laugh even when you’re not doing well,” Turner said. He obviously knows a lot about hitting, but he also knows a lot about his hitters, their personalities, when it’s time to push them, and when it’s time to lighten the mood. You’ve got the wrong information.’ Anything’s on the table.” “Ever since then, everything is my fault,” Dominguez said. “He’ll say, ‘Are we going to need to send you to the backfields today?’” Bohm said with a grin. Sometimes, when Bohm is in the cage, Long will gently remind Bohm of how far he’s come — while also keeping him humble. In college, he used to hit for fun, but over the past few years, hitting had felt like work. It had been a long time since Bohm last felt comfortable.

CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Nick Castellanos swore the idea to move closer to the plate and further up in the batter's box came Sunday morning at BayCare Ballpark, ...

The rest of the projected Opening Day lineup is not expected to be together for a while, too. “[Long] asked me, ‘How many times do you feel a fastball in the zone has been blown by you?’” Castellanos said. “Just to get that slider a little bit higher,” he said, smiling. I’m not too happy about it, but I think it’s something I need to do and conceded with the training staff [to do]. Rhys Hoskins has not played this spring as he works his way back from a meniscectomy on his right knee in December, though he could play as early as Friday. He wasn’t happy for a lot of reasons. “I despise them,” Turner said. Before they could get comfortable in their seats, he singled, donned sliding mitts and started to run. Turner jerseys are the team's No. He batted .301 with a .486 slugging percentage in 651 games from 2018-22. It was a soon-to-be-forgotten Spring Training game, but Turner’s likely impact atop the lineup and Castellanos’ possible resurgence were on display Sunday. Turner T-shirts are No.

Five regulars were in the Phillies' lineup Sunday, including Trea Turner in the leadoff spot.

But yeah, leadoff helps me kind of be a more dangerous player, use my speed more and help the team. He's one of the fastest and best baserunners in baseball and he's hit .316 with a .364 on-base percentage the last three seasons. "The last few years, I've moved around a lot and gotten more comfortable with 2 and 3. Schwarber loves leading off and was in that spot in 123 of his 153 starts last season. "(Leadoff) is where I was most comfortable my whole life and early on in my career, for sure," Turner said last week. And yes, it's Trea Turner in the leadoff spot in his first Grapefruit League appearance with the Phils.

Trea Turner has been baseball's most prolific base stealer over the last half-decade and "loves" the new pick-off rule for more reasons than one.

The hit, of course, came on a beautiful opposite-field homerun for the Phillies’ outfielder. Philadelphia will return to action on Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Casty went 1-2 for the game with 2 RBIs, a run scored, and a walk. The whole purpose of Spring Training is for players to get acclimated to playing baseball again. He lead off the game with a single, followed by a stolen base. We got a glimpse at a potential lineup for the Phillies that will be carried into the season, as well as some looks at members of the bullpen. The well-paid shortstop would not just stop there. Trea Turner made his Spring debut for the Phillies this afternoon. Pairing that with a really nice backhanded play at shortstop, it’s safe to say Trea Turner made a statement on Sunday afternoon. The Phillies’ #7 prospect took the lead with a grand slam in the bottom half of the 6th inning. Nick Castellanos got the homerun parade started in the 5th inning to make it a 4-2 game to cut the deficit in half. He would then score on a JT Realmuto single to left, giving us the full Trea Turner experience in game one.

Nick Castellanos walked and hit a two-run home run and Ethan Wilson, the No. Philadelphia (2-1) will head to Bradenton, Fla. 10 prospect in the Phillies organization, delivered a grand slam in the sixth inning.

The offseason acquisition has switched to a Phillies uniform, but it doesn't look like he's missed a beat in his hitting routine.

Playing in the National League East, he used to talk to J.T. Realmuto in the box, and Rhys Hoskins at first base. — On Sunday afternoon, shortstop Trea Turner stepped up to the plate, in his first at-bat as a Phillie and his first at-bat as the Phillies’ leadoff man. In the second inning, he hit another line-drive single, this time to left field, to drive in minor league third baseman Jim Haley. Big league players and minor league players lined up shoulder to shoulder on the railing, trying to make space so they could all see the show. When Turner signed an 11-year, $300 million contract with the Phillies in December, he signed with an organization that featured plenty of familiar faces: his former hitting coach Kevin Long, former Nationals teammates in Schwarber, Bryce Harper, and even Howie Kendrick, who now works in the Phillies’ front office.
