After dropping the first two games of this series in Toronto, the Phillies will turn to Kyle Kendrick in an effort to prevent the sweep. Yesterday was just another example of bad luck and bad baseball. Cliff Lee had everything going for him. A nice lead, a good pitch count, and a chance to finally […]
Well it hasn't happened yet. Cliff Lee is still winless. We'll get short and to the point today. The Phillies scored five runs, including a three-run shot by John Mayberry Jr. in the third inning. Cliff Lee allowed three runs on a season-high 12 hits over seven innings against the Blue Jays today. Lee had […]
(Philliedelphia: Steve Trapani) The news is getting better for the Phillies. Chase Utley and Ryan Howard are both improving during their rehab stints down in Clearwater. Chase Utley has been playing second base for the last few days and each game extending his playing time. Howard has been hitting and doing fielding drills during his rehab. […]
Ah, the Great White North. Free health care, funny accents, polar bears and maple syrup. The Phillies went through customs last night and tonight they will open up a three-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays. After winning the three-game series with the Twins, the Phillies are 31-34 and sit 9 games behind the Nationals […]
The Phillies looked really good tonight for the first time in a while. The bats were working and the arm of their starting pitcher, Joe Blanton, was good enough to defeat the Twins 6-1. The Phils struck first in the second inning when Ty Wigginton hit a solo home run, his seventh of the season. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
(Photo: Courtesy of @Michael_LeSage) Chase Utley will officially begin his rehab assignment tomorrow. Utley will DH for the Single-A Clearwater Threshers as they take on the Tampa Yankees. Utley most recently arrived in Clearwater and after a week of extended spring training, he seems ready to be put into real game situations. According to Todd […]
According to CSN's Jim Salisbury, the Phillies have made an offer to Cuban prospect Jorge Soler. Although the Phillies have made an offer, they do not appeal as the favorites for Soler's services. If the Phillies are serious about offering Soler any contract, it better be worth it. The Chicago Cubs and New York Yankees […]
