The Phillies have played 32 Grapefruit League games over the past two months preparing for a hopeful 2013 season. With Opening Day two days away, the Phillies are closing the books on spring training and gearing up for a 162 game ride. The Phillies will host the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park for their […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Erik Seybold) Just earlier this week, Cole Hamels made a start against the Tigers sporting a full-fledged beard. Today, he sits in the dugout sporting a full-fledged mustache. Yes – a mustache. Hamels did say that he would be shaving off the beard after his start on Wednesday, but I wasn't expecting this. Either […]
So…the Phillies traded away an ace? Well, the Minnesota Twins have officially named right-hander Vance Worley as their Opening Day starter this afternoon. Despite Worley having a 6.35 ERA (12 ER in 17 IP) in five starts, the Twins still see Worley the best choice for their rotation (I'll have what they're having, please). Worley, […]
The Phillies played their second-to-last game in Florida this afternoon as they took on the Tigers. Cole Hamels and Justin Verlander got the start, six days before both are set to start on Opening Day. The Phillies got out to an early lead in the first as Michael Young sac-flied to score Ben Revere, who […]
Spring training has finally come to an end for Cole Hamels, who makes his final preparation today. The Phillies will face the Detroit Tigers before they come to their Clearwater home to host the Blue Jays at Bright House Field one last time and then for their On-Deck Series at Citizens Bank Park. Yesterday, the […]
The Phillies were crushed yesterday, 13-4 at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. John Lannan was lit up for 12 earned runs on 14 hits through four innings in yesterday's ball game. Lannan's response to his horrific start? "Got my butt kicked, gotta move on." Great response and attitude. Given that it is […]
LHP Kyle Lohse has finally found a home for 2013. The former-Phillie and former-St. Louis Cardinal starting pitcher has signed a contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, as first reported by CBS' Jon Heyman. The 34-year-old spent the last five seasons of his career with the Cardinals, where he won a World Series (2010). Lohse posted […]
The Phillies were obliterated, 17-10 yesterday at the hand of the Atlanta Braves. Overall, the Phillies played terribly, accounting for three errors in the loss. Rodrigo Lopez took the loss after allowing 8 runs (7 earned) across two innings. This morning Lopez was optioned to minor-league camp after four appearances this spring. Lopez, 37, will […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose. Cliff Lee and the Phillies fell to the Yankees last night, 6-2. Cliff was hit pretty hard pretty early in last night's affair, allowing five runs (two of which were earned) over 2 2/3 innings. The victim and to sloppy defense as well as a contributor, Lee and the Phillies tallied five […]
Roy Halladay was roughed up pretty bad in yesterday's 10-6 loss to Detroit. Halladay said after the game that his bad performance was not because of any soreness, but because he was feeling lethargic due to a new intense throwing program he has been doing. He topped out at 87 mph, 1 mph slower than […]
