It was a fun second inning. The Phillies jumped all over Nationals pitcher Taylor Jordan, featuring a two run blast from Darin Ruf, a safety squeeze RBI from Cliff Lee, and the offense batted around. Unfortunately there were seven and a half innings left. Lee wasn't bad tonight. His command seemed off and he was […]
A rather exciting afternoon today at Citizens Bank Park. It was one of the more impressive offensive displays of the season from the Phillies. After breaking his on base streak last night, Darin Ruf wound up on base three times today, including a home run. Cody Asche hit his first major league home run in […]
Ethan Martin looks to improve on his major league debut his afternoon against the Cubs. We definitely got a nice glimpse of what the hype is about in his major league debut. He looks to avoid a big inning against a Cubs line up that is not quite as slug happy as Atlanta but still […]
Cole Hamels had another strong outing wasted by little run support. Still it continues a nice streak of good outings. Hamels threw 82 pitches over 7 innings, allowing just 2 runs and probably could have gone further had the situation demanded a pinch hitter. Chase Utley, celebrating his reported extension, would tie the game up. […]
Remember that huge news about the Phillies signing Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez after another demoralizing loss a few weeks ago? If not, then that may be a good thing.

After another loss last night, the Phillies' season is mortally wounded as they are tied with the Mets at 14.5 games back of the division. A few more losses, they could find themselves in fourth place and I'm not sure I'd be shocked if the Marlins caught them eventually either. If one thing can […]
Courtesy Mike Ashmore Whatever Cliff Lee's neck issues are, they seem to still exist as it has just been announced that Ethan Martin will have his contract purchased from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and make his major league debut tomorrow night. Martin came over in the Shane Victorino trade last summer and pitched well for Double-A […]
In what was gearing up to be a rather uneventful trade deadline in the first place, the Phillies made zero moves. As the day went on we heard of the various teams Michael Young would approve deals to but by that point, those teams had all the leverage and appeared not very willing to send […]
In huge breaking news, Jeff Passan reports that the Phillies have outbid the Boston Red Sox for 26 year old Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez. A few weeks ago after it was reported that Gonzalez was cleared to sign with the MLB it was reported that the Phillies showed interest (My post from the 7/17). […]
