Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey CrewYesterday was completely disgusting. Losing 14-2 just about explains itself. The Phillies' pitching got creamed and their offense was unable to come remotely close. The Indians are hot right now. They've scored 33 runs in their last three games and decimated Roy Halladay last night. Tonight the Phillies are looking for a split […]
The Phillies are coming off of a three-game sweep over the New York Mets this weekend, their first sweep of the year. With the offense surging, a day off yesterday certainely doesn't prove good timing, but as the Phillies enter tonight's ballgame at 12-14 they are looking to end the month of April on a […]
The Phillies are on a roll in New York and it's been a fantastic weekend full of runs, more runs and great pitching. Kyle Kendrick threw a complete game shut out on Friday and Jonathan Pettibone earned his first career win as the Phillies' bats backed him big time scoring nine runs yesteday to take […]
So the Phillies really lost 3 out of 4 to the Pirates….ouch. Honestly blame it on the bullpen because Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay ALL threw great games, but the bullpen either blew the lead or blew the game. Yesterday afternoon Cliff Lee tossed seven innings of three-run ball, but allowed a season-high […]
Yesterday sucked. Plain and simple. In yet another great outing from a starting pitcher ruined by the bullpen, the Phillies fell to the Pirates 5-3 last night in game three. Roy Halladay tossed six innings of one-hit, one-run ball in his third straight solid start. After leaving the game with a 3-1 lead, the bullpen […]
The Phillies were completely shut down offensively last night. Managing just four hits, the Phillies lost their 12th game of the year, falling three under .500. Cole Hamels allowed two earned runs on seven hits through eight innings. It wasn't enough though, as Hamels took his third loss to bring him to 0-3 for the […]
Last night was a good example of how small ball can produce wins. The Phillies used the runners on base to score and it worked out. It would have been nicer if they had gotten a couple more runs, but a win is a win. Jonathan Pettibone debuted last night and he was solid, allowing […]
(Photo: Frank Klose/Philliedelphia) If you fell asleep before last night's eighth inning, I feel sorry for you because you missed a helluva comeback. To sum things up, the Phillies got runners on base and they scored those runners. Crazy right? Along with compliments of an Erik Kratz three-run bomb, the Phillies pulled out a split […]
Compared to Friday's game, last night's game was just absolutley pitiful. The Phillies managed just three hits, their first coming in the bottom of the fifth. Lance Lynn held the Phillies in check, yielding just one hit through seven innings. Cliff Lee was held accountable for last night's game as he allowed five […]
There's no doubt that last night's ball game was a tough-luck loss for the Phillies. Cliff Lee dazzled through six innings before allowing two runs in the seventh inning. With the Reds in control, the Phillies struck back with a Chase Utley pinch-hit two-run home run. With Lee off the hook for the loss, the […]
