Minnesota Twins
It seems like the only way we're going to be able to beat teams is by scoring a lot of runs. It took 9 last night to beat the Twins and they still almost caught up to us. It's a good thing that the bats are working, but at the same time it's a bad […]
Well, this wasn't much of a step-up from last night to say the least. In what was one of the most painful games to watch, the Twins crushed the Phils' bullpen last night, taking game one 11-7. The Phillies were looking to even the series tonight with Cole Hamels on the mound and Placido Polanco […]
Yes I said miracle. It's that bad right now that the Phillies need a miracle to show some signs that they are not cellar dwellers. The Phillies have dropped from 2 1/2 games out of first to 9 1/2 in just ten games. Not to mention they have lost 9 out of their last 10 […]
The Phillies were simply looking to have fun coming into this series against the Minnesota Twins. As assumed by the fans, the entire Phils lineup sported high socks tonight in honor of Jim Thome. Whether that's true or not, it's certainly different. Also, a majority of the team wore Hunter Pence's t-shirts that read […]
Although they are sitting dead last in the NL East, the Phillies are not the worst team in baseball. Their 29-33 record is better than six other Major League teams. For instance, the Minnesota Twins are 24-35, they sit 8 1/2 games back in the AL Central and most likely will stay there. Tonight the […]
Posted by Kevin Durso Vance Worley allowed 11 runs in four innings in today's 11-7 loss to the Twins. (Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) After his last start didn’t go as expected, Vance Worley said he was ditching the split-changeup that Roy Halladay had tried to show him. With that off his plate, the rest of his repertoire […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies dropped another game to the Twins this afternoon in Clearwater. Roy Halladay allowed five earned runs on seven hits in 2 2/3 innings. Four of those runs came via home run, the first of the two allowed coming from Josh Willingham, who also hit an RBI single in the […]
Posted by Frank Klose Some thoughts while I eat my lunch. How likely is it that Ryan Madson could accept salary arbitration from the Phillies? Since the Texas Rangers signed Joe Nathan, I feel like the odds are increasing. The following free-agent closer options exist: Ryan Madson Heath Bell Frank Francisco Francisco Cordero Matt Capps […]
Posted By Christina Angelos On June 14, 2004, Thome hit his 400th career home run to the left-center field seats at Citizens Bank Park in a Phillies uniform. What a milestone! However, the Phillies traded Jim Thome to the Chicago White Sox because of the rookie slugger Ryan Howard arrival. Everyone fell in love with him. […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy zimbio.com Ross Gload is hurting. In today's Phillies Zone blog post by the Inquirer's Matt Gelb, he lays it out: This much we know: Ross Gload does not think a stint on the disabled list will help his fraying hip. It's either season-ending surgery or play through the muscle tear. […]
