Philadelphia Phillies
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy nbcphiladelphia.com Lots of little bits today from the Phillies, though nothing huge. As my pal John Russo from the Team to Beat blog pointed out, with only pure dominance from the Phillies, there is little drama to write or talk about. First, Michael Schwimer has been added to the Phillies' […]
Posted by Kevin Durso A rookie pitcher against the Phillies' offense isn't a recipe that works toward the Phillies' favor very often. In the beginning, a slugfest start from both sides would simmer down into a slow grind to the finish. The Phillies had the hot hand coming in. The Marlins had seen any playoff […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Photo courtesy of Zimbio.com I still remember where I was when I got that text from a beat writer on Twitter; James Anthony Happ had been traded to Houston for starting pitcher Roy Oswalt. My heart was broken. J.A. was coming off of his best year in the majors, 2009, […]
Posted by Frank Klose Wikipedia.org According to Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly, the Phillies have acquired left-handed OF/1B John Bowker from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bowker is hitting .235 with 0 home runs and 2 RBI in 17 at bats. Is that any better than Ross Gload? Yet, Salisbury thinks he could be the guy: Bowker […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson You don't mess with this man, Cincinnati, and you should have learned that lesson last October. The Phillies, however, love to mess with Bronson Arroyo. Arroyo's last start against the Phillies resulted in a 10-3 loss, Arroyo allowing nine earned runs on ten hits in 2.2 innings. Laughable. The Phillies […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Remember this? Of course you do. It's no secret that Cole Hamels completely dominates the Reds, and he has showed us that with a career 1.23 ERA with a record of 8-0 including the postseason against Cincinnati. Photo courtesy of PhilliesNetwork.com Cole's start tonight marked his first start since August 12th, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Mets were due to win a game, that much I know. They've lost 17 of their last 22 games, and lost the first two games of this series to the Phils, losing the series. Kyle Kendrick imploded in the first inning, to say the least. With the bases loaded and […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Worley strikes out Scott Hairston in the seventh inning for the final out Vance Worley has easily become the fourth ace, now fifth ace with Roy Oswalt back, and is doing so with incredible pitching and an awesome mohawk. Shane Victorino scored the first run of the game with a solo […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Another game, another rain delay. That's three in the past four games. Halladay got five innings under his belt before the storms came, but barely made it out alive in the first. He allowed two runs to score, one on Zimmerman's sacrifice fly, and another on Espinosa's RBI single. Carlos Ruiz […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Mayberry homers into the ominous sky as storms approach In the rubber match of this Diamondbacks-Phillies series, Vance Worley took the mound against one of the better starters in the National League. Fear not, for Vance Worley has not lost a game since May 31st. I know, I know, wins and […]
