The skid continues as the Phillies really couldn't solve Doug Fister tonight. He looked a bit vulnerable in the 4th inning but all they scratched out of it was one run on a Michael Young RBI. He was dominant for eight strong innings. Cole Hamels put together a really nice start himself. He got hurt […]
Cole Hamels is on the mound for game one of this series looking to rebound from a less than stellar outing in Citi Field last weekend where he didn't see the 6th inning. Interestingly he's not matched up against his American League counterpart Justin Verlander, another recently locked up ace who has seen better seasons […]
Before the All Star Break, John Lannan pitched two of his best games of the season, possibly his career. His last two starts against Washington and the Chicago White Sox, he pitched eight innings and only allowed one run between the two starts. He's been on a nice run and brings a career 2.81 ERA […]
This morning as I read the Yankees are close to bringing Alfonso Soriano back on board, ending the Cubs numerous attempts to trade him, it became very clear to me. The Yankees are trying way too hard to stay in a race they have have little chance in. They've taken on a ridiculous contract in […]
MLB Trade Rumors posted an article just now about free agent Cuban pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez being cleared to sign with MLB earlier this week. He could sign as early as next week. The Cubs, Dodgers, Rangers, and Red Sox have been the teams most interested thus far but the Phillies, Blue Jays, and Braves […]
Those seeking a fix to their baseball addiction have an option at 9 pm ET on the MLB Network when the Triple-A All Star Game takes place from Reno, NV. Phillies third baseman in waiting (for now), Cody Asche is the lone representitive from the organization in the IL. Cesar Hernandez was selected as well […]
Kyle Kendrick got a tough assignment tonight. He was handed a sloppy defense that made four errors (three on an especially not sharp Chase Utley) and for the most part didn't really hit much either. Yet over seven frames, Kendrick held the Nationals to five hits and one run. He was on his game and […]
One a blazing hot day after a huge loss, everything clicked for the Phillies this afternoon. The offense got it rolling with two quick runs off of Braves starter, Kris Medlen. They would contine to add on as the game went on. All Star, Domonic Brown had the two loudest RBIs, as did Ben Revere. […]
Well they all are but there is no doubt this is an essential homestand for the Phillies where losing is not an option. They had to win this one. Utley scoerd on a throwing error in the 1st. Humberto Quintero had a very strong offensive night with a home run and three RBIs. Ryan Howard […]
It was gearing up to be one of those games for the Phillies for a while. Hamels ran into a tough third inning where he allowed two runs (one unearned) and had to throw a lot of pitches. But then he found his control again and was dominant for the rest of his seven inning […]
