Philadelphia Phillies
Kyle Kendrick took the mound in Chicago tonight in place of Vance Worley, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list today with elbow soreness. This might sound like a trainwreck waiting to happen, but Kyle pitched surprisingly well considering he started on short notice. The Phillies' offense was downright incredible tonight, including a surprising […]
Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) was scheduled to start the series opener tonight in Chicago against the Cubs, but his elbow felt otherwise. This afternoon, the Phillies placed Worley on the 15-day DL with right elbow sorness. With the Phillies riding a current three-game winning streak, this is not news the Phillies want to hear. Losing […]
(Photo: Wikipedia Commons) We all knew this day would come. The New York Mets will host the 2013 MLB All-Star Game at Citi Field next season. It seems as if every time a team opens a brand new stadium, they get the chance to host the MLB All-Star Game within the first few years of opening. […]
According to MLB's Todd Zolecki, the Phillies have placed RHP Vance Worley (3-2, 3.07 ERA) on the 15-day DL with right elbow inflammation. In Worley's last start, against the Padres on Friday, he tossed six innings allowing 6 hits and three earned runs. Worley took the win in that outing. In reaction to the move, […]
With the Phillies winning last night's game 5-1 behind the arm of Joe Blanton. They will attempt to sweep this two-game series with the Astros behind Cliff Lee. Cliff Lee (0-1, 2.17 ERA) is seeking his first win of the season and what other club to go for it against than the Houston Astros. In […]
Joe Blanton and Lucas Harrell squared off in the first game of this two game series in Philadelphia, the last of this homestand. Rain was in the forecast, and lots of it! The game would become official before the Phillies' offense would back up Blanton with a handful of runs. Up until the fifth inning, […]
The wait is finally over. Placido Polanco is finally a member of the 2,000 hits club, the 269th member in MLB history to be exact. Polanco hit a two-run home run to reach the milestone. It took Polly 15 years to reach it, but that's okay. What's better than achieving a milestone like that with […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's been well over a month since we've heard any talk about Cole Hamels and his contract situation. The 28-year old is in his final year as a Phillie and as of now he's showing what he's worth. According to NBC's Howard Eskin, Cole Hamels' agent John Boggs has told the Phillies […]
Roy Halladay won his first three decisions of the season, his third win coming on April 16. That was also his last win. The Phillies flat-out do not score runs for Doc. Unfortunately, this pattern would continue as Halladay received the loss. Freddy Galvis drove in the first run of this game in the […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Thank you, baseball Gods. Cliff Lee (0-1, 1.96 ERA) is back from his DL stint with a strained oblique and he is back in the rotation. Lee will make his first start since April 18 when he tossed 10 scoreless innings – yes 10. Remember that? – against the San Francisco Giants. […]
