NOTICE: TODAY'S GAME IS THREATENED BY T-STORMS AND SHOWERS. PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR ANY FURTHER UPDATES. Yesterday was not a good day for the Phils as they were shut out by the Pirates 5-0. Sean O'Sullivan improved himself a bit, allowing two earned runs on four hits in four innings against the Bucs. The Phillies' […]
(Photo: Andrew Shipotofsky/Philliedelphia.com) The Phillies have found some winning ways this past weekend, winning three of their last four games. Last night Cliff Lee was yet again solid for the Phils as they played the Red Sox under the lights in Fort Myers. Throwing five scoreless frames and allowing three hits against the Sox, Lee […]
The Phillies won their second straight game yesterday and began their first winning streak of 2014 with a 6-2 win over New York. Roberto Hernandez got the start in the split squad match up and proved to be on point, tossing five perfect innings before surrendering a hit in the top of the sixth. With […]
The Phillies secured their second win of the spring yesterday, routing the Astros 11-3 in a split squad game. Going hitless for the first five innings, the Phillies' bats began to explode in the bottom half of the fifth. In three offensive innings, the Phillies managed to score 11 runs – highlighted by Cody Asche […]

Burnett (6 ER in 3 IP) and nothing better from the bullpen, the Phillies lost their 8th game this spring. Although Burnett and Miguel Gonzalez (4 ER […]
(Photo: Frank Klose/Philliedelphia.com) The Phillies have won just one game this spring, and it's getting a little pathetic now. After one scheduled split squad game yesterday was canceled against Detroit, the other one was delayed, played and completed against the Yankees. The Phillies were able to mount three runs against the Yankees, but it wasn't […]
(Photo: Frank Klose/Philliedelphia.com) The Phillies didn't lose yesterday, but they didn't win either. After tying the Braves 2-2 in nine innings yesterday the Phils became 1-6-1 on the spring, as did the Braves. The Phillies nearly hung on to a 2-1 lead, but were unable to do so. Today they split it up as one […]
Photo: Frank Klose/Philliedelphia.com The Phillies keep slumping this spring. In seven games, they are 1-6 and are batting an MLB worst .194 as a team. After last night's 5-3 loss to Toronto, not only are fans unhappy with this team so far – but their manager is as well. “I don’t like losses," Ryne Sandberg […]
Since scoring 10 runs in a split squad game last Friday, the Phillies as a whole team have failed to make any noise at the plate. In their last three games they have been outscored by opponents 14-2. In yesterday's ball game, the only run scored came from a Wil Nieves single. That's all that the […]
