The Phillies begin their most anticipated season in years tomorrow when they take on the Braves at Citizens Bank Park. They’ve made several all-star additions, the biggest of which is Bryce Harper (AKA Flowseidon AKA the $330 Million Man AKA Captain American Flag Arm Sleeve). To keep up, here are all the must-follows when it comes to the Fightin’ Phils:
Corey Seidman (@CSeidmanNBCS)
Corey Seidman is an analyst and reporter for NBC Sports Philadelphia. His Twitter is full of cool, useful stats and facts about the Phillies:
Jim Salisbury (@JSalisburyNBCS)
Jim Salisbury is Seidman’s coworker (and “At The Yard” podcast co-host) at NBC Sports Philly. Salisbury provides great coverage of the team:
And some old man sass:
Chris Jones (@LONGER_DRIVE)
Come for the .gifs, stay for the fights with fans from other teams. Jones is a Phillies blogger for The Good Phight, an SB Nation subsidiary covering the Phillies. He makes high-quality .gifs of Phillies highlights, which make him a great follow for Phillies fans (except when his account is suspended for using MLB’s content without their express-written consent, because MLB apparently hates when people give them free publicity by sharing highlights of their games).
Franzke & LA (@FranzkeLA)
This is an account dedicated to the Phillies’ radio team, tweeting out the best quotes and one-liners from Scott Franzke, Larry Andersen, and the rotating cast of color guys that take over when LA has the day off.
The account also gives us a lot of funny Phillies memories and bits:
Zoo With Roy (@ZooWithRoy)
Zoo With Roy is a bolg centered around Philadelphia sports, specifically the Phillies. The website was started so that the founder could go the the Philadelphia Zoo with Roy Halladay, a dream that came true in 2014:
ZWR is also your #1MostTrusted source when it comes to reporting major Philly sports news (read: tweeting out the story after the fact):
Ryan Lawrence (@RyanLawrence21)
Will someone please give this man a job? Lawrence is a former Phillies reporter for the Daily News and PhillyVoice, the latter of which let him go after the 2017 season. Lawrence still provides a lot of good Phillies insight despite the fact that he’s no longer paid to cover the team.
Fake WIP Caller (@FakeWIPCaller)
Fake WIP Caller is a parody of the hot-takeish Philadelphia sports radio hosts and callers. He embodies everything you would want from some guy named Mike from Delco calling in with a point about Gabe Kapler.
2008 Phillies (@2008Philz)
If you’re interested in following along with the 2008 World Champion Phillies while also following along with the 2019 World Champion Phillies, you’ve come to the right place with @2008Philz. The account gives updates on the 2008 team as they play each game, each year culminating with the night the Phillies won the World Series on October 29, 2008.
