Thought the no-hitter against LA was rock bottom? Guess not. The 2014 Phillies (24-31) continued their disappointing season tonight in embarrassing fashion. They dropped four out of five to the New York Mets (28-29) and tonight's game was as ugly as they come. Trailing by three heading into the top of the ninth, the Phils […]
#51721631 / gettyimages.com When the Philadelphia Phillies took the field on a sunny day at Veterans Stadium in 2002, they didn't know they would be witnessing an enormous offensive boost from their starting pitcher. We remember starting pitchers normally by their ERA, win-loss record or even strikeouts. What we will remember from this day […]
The Phillies made a few roster moves today after their two, 14-inning games against the Mets. Jeff Manship will be heading to the 15-day disabled list with a quad strain while Darin Ruf has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Phillies have recalled Phillippe Aumont and purchased the contract of Cesar Jimenez as the […]
It took five hours and 23 minutes for the Phillies (24-28) to beat the Mets (25-29) last night/this morning. There won't be much time to rest up from it as the teams take the field for a 3:05PM matinee this afternoon. The Phillies bullpen was a big reason why the team won last night, but […]
After striking out at an alarming rate against the Mets (25-29) on Thursday, the Phillies (24-28) looked to rebound and get their first home win against New York in their last six tries. This one was interesting to say the least, with Phils starter AJ Burnett pitching effectively at times, but not enough to put […]
#493949501 / gettyimages.com We have all heard about the potential before. We have all heard about his breakout month of May last season (keywords: last season). We have all heard about his awful performance at this season. With all things considered, Phillies management has to be thinking of a way to instill some […]
#494141315 / gettyimages.com It is a milestone night at Citizens Bank Park tonight as Jimmy Rollins will be playing in his 2,000th Major League game. Over his 15-year career, the three-time all star has helped the Phillies to five division titles, two World Series appearances and a World Series Championship in 2008. He was […]
Photo: MiLB.com When the Phillies drafted Dylan Cozens in the second round of the 2012 draft, what they knew they were getting was a guy with a lot of raw power at the plate. Cozens worked out for the Phillies among other teams before being drafted, but he wow'd the Phillies brass when he slugged […]
Ben Revere hit his first career home run and Darin Ruf went deep for the first time this season, but the Phillies couldn't capitalize on early run-scoring opportunities. The Rockies got to Cole Hamels late in this one and the Phils offense couldn't climb back, dropping tonight's contest by a score of 6-2. The Game: The […]
#493543479 / gettyimages.com With the no-hitter clearly in the rear view mirror after last night's 9-0 win, the Phillies (22-26) continue their series today against Colorado (27-24) looking to press the repeat button tonight at 7:05PM. It was nice to see Ryan Howard have a good game as we have all seen the frustration […]
