Philadelphia Phillies
I don't know if this is something to be worried or excited about. According to MLB's Todd Zolecki, Phillies' ace Roy Halladay has gotten a second opinion on his shoulder injury this afternoon. Halladay met with Dr. David Altchek today to receive a second opinion on his grade 1 – grade 2 strained lat muscle […]
Joe Blanton took the hill at Citi Field tonight against Jeremy Hefner, who was making his second major league start. After two straight rough outings from Joe, it wouldn't get easier in another frustrating game. The Phillies jumped out in front scoring a run in the first on a wild pitch. The Mets came back […]
Well isn't this just freakin' swell? Roy Halladay has been placed on the DL later and Erik Kratz has taken his roster spot. Carlos Ruiz is available for tonight and the lineup card seemed to reveal (and now confirmed) that Doc will be headed to the DL. Todd Zolecki reports that it is a grade 1- […]
Today, the Phillies are looking to take the series in New York after taking yesterday's game by force, winning 8-4. Ty Wigginton came up clutch, going 3-3 with 6 RBI including a three-run home run. It put the Phils ahead and they'd never look back. It's good to have those kinds of games. Cole Hamels […]
(Photo: Wikipedia Commons) Happy Memorial Day everybody! We here at Philliedelphia would love to express our appreciation and gratitude to the men and women who have served and who are currently serving for our country. I wouldn't be here typing this article if it weren't for all of you. Memorial Day baseball is a big […]
I've got a date with my grandmother today and a slight hangover so here's a quick preview for you guys. 8 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, Loss. That was Roy Halladay's line the last time he faced the Cardinals, in Game 5 of the NLDS last year. Roy pitched a great […]
It's all about Kyle Rodney Kendrick. Kyle pitched an absolute gem of a ball game tonight, shutting out the Cardinals in a complete game effort. By a show of hands, who guessed Kyle would have more wins by May 26th than Cliff Lee? If your hand is up, put it back down, you're a filthy […]
Today is May 25th and Cliff Lee does not have a win under his belt this season. Since he came back from the disabled list on May 10, Phillies fans have been patiently waiting for him to pick up a win. The fans are tired of waiting, and so is Cliff. A frustrating outing would […]
Well last night was pretty crazy. Despite the bad pitching and near-lead blowing outings, the Phillies still managed to rack 10 runs on a season-high 18 hits in their 10-9 win over St. Louis last night. Taking game one of this four-game set doesn't really say a lot, but hey the Phils are back at […]
(Image from Jon's Twitter page) I recently got the opportunity to interview 21-year-old starting pitcher Jon Pettibone. Pettibone was drafted by the Phillies in the third round of the 2008 MLB Amateur Draft. He now pitches in AA Reading and has a 3-4 record with a 3.59 ERA. In 52 innings he has allowed 62 […]
