    Three Phillies saved their season, and summoned the spirit of 2022 | David Murphy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    ATLANTA — While it may be overly reductive to call baseball the most individual of the team sports, it sure can be the most isolating. That’s true with regard to the physical proximity between teammates on the field of play, and also to the psycho-emotional weight a player must bear when things go awry. In baseball, it is almost always clear where the blame lies. There was a time in Alec Bohm’s career when he carried more of this baggage than could fit in the overhead bin. Andrew Painter a

    Cristopher Sánchez is the reason to believe in the Phillies after a stunning Game 1 loss | David Murphy (opens the original)

    ATLANTA — The only thing dead in the Phillies dugout was the stare from the guy who is now their brightest hope. All around him, Cristopher Sánchez’s stunned Phillies teammates gathered their belongings and shuffled toward the clubhouse tunnel in the wake of a come-from-behind 5-3 win by the Braves. But Sánchez remained, his eyes locked on the pitching rubber at Truist Park. “Just looking out at the mound,” Phillies designated Kyle Schwarber said later, a gleam in his eye. The Phillies

    LeBron James is here because of Tyrese Maxey. That says something about both | David Murphy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The three words that have long defined Tyrese Maxey were also the ones that landed LeBron James with the 76ers. They were spoken a little more than six years ago by Rajon Rondo, the longtime NBA point guard who’d starred at the University of Kentucky before embarking on a pro career that saw him win a championship and make four All-Star teams with the Celtics. This was the summer of 2020, and the world was on hiatus, and Rondo found himself sharing the court with a 19-year-old kid who was abou

    The Phillies haven’t avoided disaster yet. They’ve merely postponed it ... for now | David Murphy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    They haven’t avoided disaster yet. For now, all they have done is postpone it. That’s a good thing, of course. Much better than the alternative. The Phillies arrived at Citizens Bank Park on Sunday with a chance to irrevocably damage their legacy by completing one of the must sudden and improbable late-season collapses in baseball history. In avoiding that fate, they looked a lot like the team that set a standard they’ve so consistently fallen short of. They scored early, and they scored o

    The Phillies are on the verge of the worst collapse in the city’s history | David Murphy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The goal is no longer to make the playoffs. The Phillies are on the verge of it. Know that. It can be difficult to recognize when you are living through it. Think of the worst you ever heard. Make it worse. This is it. For the vast majority of us whose sports consciousness had not yet dawned in 1964, the year has always been one that occupied the same narrative spaces as walking to school in the snow uphill both ways. As bad as things were when they were worse than we ever had it, we never had i
