According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, contract negotiation talks between the Phillies and lefthander Cole Hamels are beginning to pick up quickly. According to Stark's sources, the club and Hamels and his agent John Boggs have begun to seriously negotiate as the club pushes to get Hamels signed before the July 31 trade deadline. As well […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies have won four-games-in-a-row since losing the first game of the second-half. Last night, Roy Halladay made his return to baseball and allowed just two earned runs over five innings to take the no-decision. In the eighth inning, Hunter Pence smacked a two-run double to give the Phillies the 3-2 lead, […]
After winning their first series in nearly a month, the Phillies are over in the West Coast for six games. They'll split the next six games between the Dodgers and the Giants. Off to a good start in the second-half, the Phillies will look to remain in a winning state as they near the July […]
Oh boy. According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Phillies are plannin to offer lefthander Cole Hamels a five-year, $120MM deal. The very same deal that they signed Cliff Lee with back in December of 2010. An offer of $120 million over five years, which was the very deal Cliff Lee signed with the Phillies, […]
For the third straight year, the Pittsburgh Pirates drafted the top pitching arm in the pre-draft rankings, nabbing Mark Appel at #8 overall in the draft. This makes sense for a team that hasn't had a winning season since Barry Bonds left town in 1992. This is how you rebuild. Too bad Appel didn't sign. […]
The Phillies finally pulled a win out of their behinds last night, taking the second game 8-5. Vance Worley got the win, his fifth of the season after tossing 6 2/3 strong innings while raking in two runs of his own from an RBI double. So the Phils pitchers can hit now? He's no Cliff […]
The Phillies got their second half off to a bad start with last night's 6-2 loss, bringing them down back 14 games under .500. Cliff Lee took the loss as well, bringing him to 1-6 on the year despite allowing three runs (two earned) on nine hits against the Rockies. Tonight Vance Worley will get the […]
The Phillies had one of their first halves in ten years, going 37-50 headed into the All-Star Break. Well it's only been four days since they played, but I'm sick and tired of seeing this team playing like crap as well as being sick and tired of being negative about this team. So for the […]
According to ESPN's Jayson Stark (@jaysonst), the Phillies are preparing to offer left hander Cole Hamels a huge contract. Hamels, 28, is a soon-to-be-free-agent come this offseason and is going to be the hottest free agent on the market. Unless the Phillies can lock him up. Hamels is 10-4 on the year with a 3.20 ERA […]
It's a good sign from Clearwater tonight, folks. Roy Halladay has completed his first rehab assignment for the Phillies. Although he was a bit rusty, the Phillies ace did an alright job tonight. Tonight the right-hander made the start for the single-A Clearwater Threshers against the Fort Myers Miracle. The game was televised and broadcast on […]
