Domonic Brown
Domonic Brown was the untouchable. The Phillies would not trade him. Not for Cliff Lee. Not for Roy Halladay. He debuted to a standing ovation in 2010 as the Phillies entered an offensive funk down the stretch. But soon the magic died. Brown hit just .210 in his late season call-up in 2010, and Spring […]
Fantastic. Outstanding. Spectacular. Masterful. Anyway you want to say it, Cole Hamels was all of that and beyond tonight against Mike Minor and the Braves. The three runs the Phillies scored tonight would be enough for Cole who shut out Atlanta in a complete game effort. The runs would come in the first inning, and […]
A quick and easy win, just what the doctor ordered for the Phillies. Roy Halladay took the mound tonight looking for a win amidst a string of losses, hoping to out-duel Joe Saunders, which, being Roy Halladay, shouldn't be an issue. With Doc cruising, Erik Kratz provided a 1-0 lead in the third inning with […]

Some more help could be on the way. Today the Phillies announced that OF/1B Laynce Nix will begin a rehab assignment tonight at Class A Clearwater. The Phillies really missed Nix's bat the last few months as the offense has struggled along. In 22 games before he was injured, Nix was hitting .326 with […]

Brown has been hurt for a while; back on June 15th we first noted that Brown's right knee hurt, but the extent was unknown. Since then, Brown […]
Things finally seemed to be looking up for the one-time "untouchable" prospect Domonic Brown at Lehigh Valley. Citing a reinvigorated attitude with a move to center field, Brown began hitting the ball in the way everyone came to expect. Now, a setback. Iron Pigs Beat Reporter Michael LoRe reports that it was Brown's right knee […]
The Phillies are 28-30. Pete Orr just was optioned down to Lehigh Valley today for the first time this year. Hector Luna and Mike Fontenot on the other hand are still on the roster. Juan Pierre, Ty Wigginton, and John Mayberry Jr. have all taken starter level at-bats this year. You can imagine my frustration […]
A few notes from around the pharm: Dom Brown made his sixth start in Center Field last night. His average is up to .257 following a two-hit, two runs scored doubleheader. Incidentally, fellow outfielder Derrick Mitchell drove in eight runs last night to get to 30 RBI's for the year, and he's also at .257. […]
