When it was reported that Chase Utley had suffered some discomfort and burning pains in his right rib cage during batting practice before Tuesday's game in Miami, we all knew that his MRI would discover an injury. The symptoms of which Utley had complained about – burning sensation, tightness, and difficulty breathing – only meant […]
The Phillies had an offensive explosion last night. Ryan Howard led the charge with three hits along with three RBIs. The Phillies would score seven runs last night to take game two of the series. It's a shame that they couldn't share any runs with Cole Hamels on Monday, but that can't be changed. They […]
During batting practice before yesterday's ball game, Phillies second baseman Chase Utley felt discomfort in his right ribcage. He was scratched from the lineup and will most likely sit out tonight's game as well. Ruben Amaro Jr. announced today that the injury will require an MRI, which will take place tomorrow in back in Philadelphia. […]
The Phillies really, really – for a lack of words – pissed off Cole Hamels last night. After striking out 10 batters and allowing two earned runs to the Marlins through six innings, the Phillies were only able to mount one run – a Domonic Brown home run – to support Cole's effort. It was […]
The Phillies surely know how to pick a good day to win in dramatic fashion. How about yesterday? It was crazy. Honestly, I thought we'd done against Chapman – especially after Cliff Lee was picked off. That wasn't the case, however, as Erik Kratz homered to tie it and right after that Freddy Galvis shot […]
The Phillies were pounded yet again by the Indians in Wednesday's series finale. Cole Hamels was roughed up, allowing five runs on six hits through five innings of work. The Phillies were able to mount four runs, but still fell 10-4. The Phillies fell back to four games under .500 with that loss and with […]
No….we're not kidding. According to Ken Rosenthal, the Phillies and Carlos Zambrano have come to agreements on a minor-league deal. Zambrano, a true character on the field and off, last pitched in the Major Leagues with the Miami Marlins last season where he went 7-10 with a 4.49 ERA. Prior to his stint in Miami, Zambrano […]
The Phillies were very impressive in last night's 6-2 win over the Indians. Jonathan Pettibone went 6 2/3 innings, his longest outing yet. Allowing two runs on four hits while striking out three, Pettibone was also backed up by his offense – something that needs to show this afternoon for Cole Hamels (1-5, 4.18 ERA). […]
The last time the Phillies and Indians played against each other it was a complete disaster for the Fightins. During a two-game series at Cleveland back on April 30 – May 1, the Phillies were outscored by the Indians 20-2. Both Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee were worked over by the Tribe, who had been […]
After a three-game losing streak, the Phillies finally collected a win behind the arm of Cliff Lee last night. Clifton went seven shutout innings, allowing six hits, two walks while he struck out three to earn his fourth win of the year. The Phillies were able to mount three runs on the D-backs last night […]
