Well the Phillies certainly looked lost last night. A bad start from Kyle Kendrick followed by a lack of offensive production from the Phillies offense led to the Phils' 46th loss of the season. The Braves blasted 19 hits enroute to their 50th win of the year. Kyle Kendrick struggled early on and allowed six […]
With a day off yesterday after getting it handed to them by the Dodgers, the Phillies will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in a three-game matchup before heading back home. 9 1/2 games out in the NL East, the Phillies will send out Jonathan Pettibone (3-3, 4.17 ERA) to take on the Pirates. Brandon Cumpton […]
Despite Chase Utley's two home runs last night it was not enough for the Phillies, who fell to the Dodgers in walk-off fashion. Cliff Lee gave up three runs on four hits through seven innings last night and struck out 10 hitters. He was on the hook for the loss, but with a Jimmy Rollins […]
The Phillies certainly got their work in offensively last night. With 21 hits as a team and scoring 16 runs, the Phillies ended the first half of the season with a blow out win over the Dodgers. John Lannan pitched seven solid innings, allowing just an earned run on five hits to win his first […]
The Phillies are coming off of a series win in San Diego against the Padres. Last night the Phillies pulled out a win in 13 innings. Despite Cole Hamels allowing five earned runs, the Phils were able to tie it up late in the game and take the lead and allowing Jonathan Papelbon the chance […]
Michael Young and Roy Halladay are no longer the oldest players on this team. This afternoon the Phillies acquired 38 year-old infielder John McDonald from the Cleveland Indians. Yes…38 year-old infielder from the Indians. In a deal that will send cash and a player to be named later to Cleveland, the Phillies have gained depth […]
After last night's disasterous loss to the Padres, it really honestly puzzles me how there can still be any faith left in this team. Cliff Lee was brilliant, allowing just two earned runs (inherited) over eight innings of work. He didn't get the win however, despite striking out seven. Even with a 3-0 lead late […]
The Phillies are coming off of an 8-0 loss to finish off another series loss at the hands of the Mets at Citizens Bank Park. Four games under .500 and even farther out of the NL East race the Phillies will set out on a 10-game road trip in San Diego, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. […]
The Phillies are lucky for Kevin Frandsen. Seriously. While we writers were at the Reading Phillies game last night, our phones blew up with ESPN score updates alerting us that the Phillies had blown a 7-1 lead by letting the Mets tie it 7-7. Astonished, we all believed that the Mets would take the lead […]
The Phillies were unable to defeat a minor-league team last night and opened up this three-game series with the Mets with a 4-3 loss. Cole Hamels was given a three-run lead, but he was unable to keep it as he allowed four earned runs through six innings. Due to the inability to keep the three-run […]
