Kyle Kendrick
Phillies fans don't like Kyle Kendrick. In fact, I regularly shake my head at our friend Stephen Gallo's regular anti-Kendrick tweets. Last night he was positive: Why is it that our friend Steve and so many others have such deep-seated hate for our dear Kyle? Looking back to 2007 when Kendrick burst onto the […]
Kyle Kendrick took the mound in Chicago tonight in place of Vance Worley, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list today with elbow soreness. This might sound like a trainwreck waiting to happen, but Kyle pitched surprisingly well considering he started on short notice. The Phillies' offense was downright incredible tonight, including a surprising […]
Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) was scheduled to start the series opener tonight in Chicago against the Cubs, but his elbow felt otherwise. This afternoon, the Phillies placed Worley on the 15-day DL with right elbow sorness. With the Phillies riding a current three-game winning streak, this is not news the Phillies want to hear. Losing […]
According to MLB's Todd Zolecki, the Phillies have placed RHP Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) on the 15-day DL with right elbow inflammation. In Worley's last start, against the Padres on Friday, he tossed six innings allowing 6 hits and three earned runs. Worley took the win in that outing. In reaction to the move, […]
Yesterday afternoon we witnessed once again the Phillies' major problem this season: starter has a dominant/decent/good start, and the bullpen quickly coughs up the 1-2 run lead that the team has. Yesterday's game was both a cause for frustration and a cause for hope. With their dominant closer unavailable, the Phillies had to turn to […]
Not good. Jim Salisbury is reporting that Vance Worley will miss his scheduled start in Chicago tomorrow, due to soreness in his arm. Presumably, Kyle Kendrick will make the start in his place.
Here's the facts: The Phillies stink. They're four games under .500. In the last nine games, ALL in division, they have blown FIVE leads in the late innings. That's five. None in the 9th (though they lost a tie in one). In other words, if the starter isn't going eight innings or more, they are […]
Ok, so Cole Hamels fessed up: I’m not going to lie and say I wasn’t trying to do it. I think they understood the messages, and they threw it right back, and I think that’s the way it is, and I respect it. And now he's probably going to get suspended. And in a very […]
"Take back the park," say the Washington Nationals. "How about I take my foot and take back your ***," says a livid Charlie Manuel (ok, not really). The Phillies' manager was ejected in the bottom of the first inning tonight in Washington for the first time all season after arguing a checked swing from Bryce […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies won their third series of the season yesterday as Joe Blanton was freaking phenomenal against the Braves. A three-hit shutout? I don't know where it came from, but I loved it. Anyway, the Phillies won't play the Braves again until July 6-8, so we'll get back to them later. Tonight, the […]
