Philadelphia Phillies
Posted by Danielle Wilson As Chris Wheeler would say, the first inning for the Phillies was a "doozy". It only took eight pitches for Padres starter Tim Stauffer to retire the side, and I wish I could say the same for Joe Blanton. Big Joe allowed his obligatory first run to score on an RBI […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the final game of this four-game series in San Diego, Roy Halladay took the mound against Wade "don't call me Matt" LeBlanc. This game appeared to be a pitcher's duel through the first five innings; LeBlanc only allowed two hits, and struck out two, while Doc only allowed two hits, […]
Posted by Frank Klose Did anyone see this last night? At Petco field they provide free entertainment for the little kids. How about getting this at Citizens Bank Park? How many times have you left early because the kids did not want to stay? This helped keep the crowd at the park through the extra […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of web.minorleaguebaseball.com The heading says it all, 25-year-old right-handed pitcher Jordan Ellis has been promoted from single A Clearwater to double A Reading. He was drafted in the 28th round of the 2008 Amateur draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. This season, he has appeared in six games, and in that span, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Two words: pitcher's duel. That is exactly what this game was tonight for the first five innings which went by extraordinarily fast. Nationals starter Jordan Zimmerman pitched five perfect innings, and in five innings for Cliff Lee, he allowed just two hits; a double to Danny Espinosa in the third, and […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Roy Halladay's stats against the Nationals in 2010: 3-0, 23 IP, 16 hits, 1 earned run, 20 strikeouts. Holy wow, this should be fun tonight. Shane Victorino led it off with a double (what else?) and made a genius play moments later when Polanco almost grounded into a double play, but Shane […]
Posted by Jorge Suarez Apparently, Roy Oswalt isn't much of a household name in major league baseball, or the editors just don't know who he is. "Phillies Starter Injures Lower Back". WAIT – I FIGURED IT OUT! He was wearing #42 and they couldn't figure out the difference. There. Speaking of jerseys, when Philadelphia Union […]
Posted by Frank Klose Coutesy amazinavenue.com Despite relieving themselves of Luis Castillo and Oliver Perez, which many Mets fans believed would solve all of their problems, the Mets appear to be be on pace for quite an "embarass-Mets" (not my phrase; the article uses it). Using a new stat calculated by John Dewan of a […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson On Saturday, Logan Morrison of the Marlins headed over to Carl's Card Shop of Havertown, Pennsylvania to meet his fans, sign some baseballs, and raise money for the American Association of Lung Cancer which supports finding a cure for the disease, which his father suffered and passed away from this past winter. Details […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson On the Phanatic’s Birthday (his true age has not yet been determined) Cole Hamels (1-1, 5.59 ERA) took the mound against Marlins’ starter Anibal Sanchez (0-1, 6.97 ERA). Cole struck out two and walked one (fourth of the season) in the first inning, no complaints here. Placido Polanco drilled […]
