So Freddy Galvis was fantastic last night going 2-for-5 with two triples while driving in 4 RBI to help the Phillies win in comeback fashion. Kyle Kendrick was lit up for seven earned runs on 10 hits in 4 1/3 innings. It was Kendrick's worst start of the year, but luckily he was given the no-decision. With […]
I've been a 17 game season ticket holder for the Phillies since 1991, so I've seen plenty of bad baseball. There were the Fregosi years that weren't 1993, the Francona years, and even parts of the Bowa years, where you wanted to hit your head off the wall after watching the team. Fregosi did give […]
The Phillies are above .500 for the first time since last season when they finished 81-80. With their win last night behind Tyler Cloyd, the Phillies also extended their winning streak to five games. Cloyd was solid, throwing 6 2/3 innings of scoreless ball. Although he walked five batters, he was able to keep them from […]
The Phillies (30-30) are finally at .500 for the first time since April when they were 6-6. Cole Hamels won his second game of the year, his first since April 28th, yesterday after going a month without a win. Hamels went 7 innings and allowed a run on four hits while striking out 11. A […]
After dropping the first two games to Milwaukee this weekend, the Phillies snapped out of a three-game losing streak yesterday in a 7-4 win over the Brewers. In 7 2/3 innings Cliff Lee was spectacular, striking out 11 batters. Lee wasn't the only star of the day as Domonic Brown went 3-for-4 and 4 RBIs. Brown […]
So last night was a perfect opportunity for Cole Hamels to win a ball game…but he didn't. For the first time since April 7th he pitched with a lead, thanks to a Domonic Brown three-run shot (his first of two). It was not enough, however, as Hamels was tagged for six earned runs on a […]
After dropping the first game of this four-game series, the Phillies have won two straight including last night's 4-2 win. Kyle Kendrick got his fifth win of the year after tossing six innings of two-run ball. Kendrick wouldn't have had a win if it weren't for Domonic Brown and his two home runs. Brown clocked […]
Like what appeared to be thousands of others, I made the trip up to Boston for this two game series against the Red Sox. I would say I try to hit about three opposing ballparks a year most seasons, along with a Spring Training trip. One thing was obviously missing this time around: the excitement […]
Cole Hamels was looking to get out of his funk this evening against the lowly 1-9 Marlins. Jose Hernandez was coming off of a very strong outing and looked to keep his hot streak going. Through four innings, Hamels was working with a no-hitter. However, Adeiny Hechavarria ruined the bid in the bottom of the […]
With John Lannan and Ricky Nolasco on the hill making the start, it was sure that either tonight would be a slugfest, or tonight would be a pitcher's duel. Tonight's series opener was indeed a pitcher's duel through out most of the game. Ben Revere led off the game with a single, but was stranded on […]
