The Phillies (1-1) may have a bitter taste of defeat in […]
It's finally here, folks. Phillies spring training '14 has been in effect for two weeks now and today the Phillies will get their first Grapefruit League game in as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays at Bright House Field. After yet another dismal season in 2013 (73-89), the Phillies look forward to improving their […]
Photo Credit: Kevin Durso, Philliedelphia I have no problem admitting that my personal belief is that the Philadelphia Phillies should come as close to "blowing up" their team as possible without venturing into that forsaken zone of mediocrity. It's part of the baseball life cycle—players get old and expensive; teams need to rebuild. "Old" and […]
In a solemn clubhouse following a loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on June 9, Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel voiced concern over the left knee of catcher Erik Kratz, who had been injured during the game. Speaking with Comcast SportsNet, the skipper clearly believed that Kratz would miss an extended period of time. “His [left] […]
(Philliedelphia/Danielle Wilson) Good news, the bullpen is about to get a little stronger. With Phillippe Aumont's recent struggles, he was sent down to AAA Lehigh Valley after tonight's ballgame, per Todd Zolecki. This season, Aumont is facing a 4.15 ERA, and has allowed six earned runs on 17 hits in 13 innings pitched. He has […]
After a three-game sweep from the Cincinnati Reds, the Phillies started a blank slate tonight at Citizens Bank Park against the Cardinals. Cole Hamels and Adam Wainwright squared off tonight. The Cardinals jumped ahead to a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth after Yadier Molina doubled to score Matt Holliday and Allen Craig. […]
In a continuation of last night's ballgame that was postponed due to rain, Phillippe Aumont took the hill in the bottom of the ninth against the Reds. Zack Cozart led off the inning with a single, followed by a walk to Joey Votto. Ben Revere misplayed a fly ball in center, loading up the bases […]
We had ourselves a pitcher's duel tonight on this Jackie Robinson Day in Cincinnati between Cliff Lee and Bronson Arroyo. (.Gif file courtesy of Eliot on Twitter) Lee, backed by some stellar offense in center field (and possibly the best play of the year), was dominating the Reds tonight. The story was the same for […]
In the final game of this three-game series against the Marlins, Roy Halladay was able to settle down and dominate against Kevin Slowey and the Fish. The Phillies wouldn't put a run up on the board until the sixth inning when Ryan Howard doubled, and was brought home with an RBI single from Michael Young. […]
Cole Hamels was looking to get out of his funk this evening against the lowly 1-9 Marlins. Jose Hernandez was coming off of a very strong outing and looked to keep his hot streak going. Through four innings, Hamels was working with a no-hitter. However, Adeiny Hechavarria ruined the bid in the bottom of the […]
