Some hadn't even gotten to their seats yet and David Wright made his return from a long stint on the disabled list with a two run blast which put Cole Hamels in a 3 run deficit before recording an out. Hamels got hit around a bit and let up six runs and while that doesn't […]
As announced yesterday, Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte will once again be retiring. I imagine this time it is for good. I watched a few of his starts this season and no matter if he was good or bad, getting outs seemed like a bit of a struggle for him this season and while he may […]
Zach Miner and Luis Garcia piggy backed for five innings of one run ball. Ethan Martin would enter in the 6th and surrender a two run moon shot from Giancarlo Stanton that may have actually reached the moon. The Phillies didn't make it easy on Marlins starter Nathan Eovaldi who left after five innings and […]
After a rather humiliating loss that most of the Philadelphia area missed, including yours truly, Cliff Lee gets a Marlins line up full which features lots of names I have never heard of and couldn't tell you all that much about. That includes pitcher Sam Dyson who makes his first career start tonight against the […]
After a strong first inning, Ethan Martin pitched himself into and out of trouble until being chased with two outs in the 5th inning after losing all command and allowing five runs. While he still shows plenty of upside and the starter/reliever debate is boiling, the real question now has to do with if Martin […]
In the last minute trade for the talents of Michael Young, the Phillies recieved the now thrice traded LHP Rob Rasmussen.

A triple later, he would be driven in by Michael Young and they would begin to erase a 5-0 deficit. Before the inning was over they would score three more and Frandsen would tie it up […]
Ryne Sandberg returns to the ballpark that made him a Hall of Famer. Roy Halladay is making his second start since returning from the DL. Facing him is Chicago workhorse, Jeff Samardzija who is 8-11 with a 4.05 ERA. Cody Asche is still sitting out with Michael Young at third and Darin Ruf at first. […]
Pete Orr, Left Fielder Cole Hamels looks to stay hot against a team that's given him trouble in the past in the Mets. While he's gotten his ERA down to 4.34 at Citi Field, it's not been the kindest park to him in his career. Still he's a hot pitcher right now pitching like the […]
Kyle Kendrick meets Jon Niese tonight in Game 2 of the 4 game series in Citi Field. Kendrick has been mediocre lately and looks to get back on track against a depleted Mets line up that just traded Marlon Byrd and John Buck earlier today. A link worth checking out comes from sabermetrics blog Beyond the […]
