Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are coming off of a six-game road trip in which they took both series two to one. First, the Phillies took the first two of three against the Braves over the weekend. Eying up a sweep, a disaster ensued and the Phillies moved on to Cincinnati for a three-game set with the NL […]
The Phillies scored first tonight in Cincy thanks to a bases-loaded walk from Dom Brown which forced in Chase Utley. 1-0 Phils in the fourth. In the following inning, Jimmy Rollins collected hit no. 2,000 of his career with a double down the right field line. He's the fourth Phillie in franchise history to have […]
The Phillies were looking to brush off last night's tough walk-off loss that Chipper Jones and the Braves served up. It wasn't a happy flight to Cincinnati, but that wouldn't stop the Phils from fighting this afternoon. Tyler Cloyd in his second major league start looked magnificent this afternoon. Through seven innings, he allowed just […]
Cliff Lee won his fourth game of the season this evening against the Atlanta Braves. Lee pitched a masterful outing of seven innings, allowing just five hits, walking one, and striking out five. Lee was taken out after seven after reporting a tight hamstring. Lee later said it was not anything serious, just a cramp. […]
When the Phillies have a weekend pitching staff of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels, you know it's bound to be a winning series, or maybe a sweep against the Atlanta Braves. All started out swiftly for the Phils. Ryan Howard put up the game's first run in the top of the second with […]
The Phillies barely walked out of their last series alive. Dropping the first two games of the last series with the Mets until September 17, the Phillies salvaged the finale under Kyle Kendrick yesterday and pulled out a win. Still seven games under .500, the Phillies have fallen back into inconsistent game play. Going 16-12 in […]
As previously posted, Tyler Cloyd was making his major league debut tonight. In an unexpected spot start for the young righty, the Phillies were sure glad he tossed a solid six innigs to avoid a bullpen game. Matt Harvey, a rookie starter for the Mets surrendered a run in the top of the first, a […]
Photo Courtesy: Jay Floyd – PhoulBallz.com. I was gearing up to write a pretty good game preview for Cole Hamels, who would be making his 26th start of the season tonight. However, due to a stomach illness, Hamels has been scratched from tonight's game. In his place will be International League MVP Tyler Cloyd, who […]
It had to happen sometime. Phillies right hander Vance Worley has been placed on the DL after months of pitching with bone chips in his right elbow. Worley is expected to have surgery to remove the bone chips within the next 10 days. The 24 year-old pitcher has been a shell of his 2011 self […]
The bone chip in Vance's elbow is not affecting his pitching, according to Vance. But, his performance has been on a downhill spiral for the entire month of August. In his previous four starts, Vance went 0-3 allowing at least six hits in all of those starts. It didn't get much better tonight. In the […]
