Philadelphia Phillies
Raul Valdes is making a very strong case this spring to be a long-man in the bullpen this season for the Phillies. In his last outing, Valdes tossed three scoreless innings. He did just that again to start this ballgame allowing just three hits and striking out one. The Phillies put up the first runs […]
John Lannan looked very, very dominant this afternoon in Port Charlotte, Florida. The Phillies would not go on to win today's game, but consider Lannan's success a victory in itself. In five shutout innings, Lannan allowed just two hits, walked one, and struck out four. Matt Moore tossed five innings for the Rays, but allowed […]

Roy Halladay was roughed up pretty bad in yesterday's 10-6 loss to Detroit.

He topped out at 87 mph, 1 mph slower than […]
