In what seemed to be the exact opposite of Thursday, the Flyers completed the sweep of their home and home with the Devils today with a 2-1 win. Instead of starting slow and finishing strong, the Flyers came out strong and slowed down towards the end of the game. With 3 times as many chances […]
On Friday, I put out my first Phillies roster projection of the official pre-season. In that prediction, I left a number of 40 man and non-roster invitees off of the roster. Amongst the key parts of my predictions: Gonzalez and Pettibone left out of the rotation, but on the 40 man, along with Stutes, Martin, […]
Paul Holmgren is clearly up to no good in that trenchcoat (image via hfboards.hockeysfuture.com) The NHL Trade Deadline is coming up at 3:00pm today, and while the deadline isn’t Paul Holmgren’s preferred trading time (that would be the summer, when the flowers bloom and Homer presumably goes mad from the hot sun), it’s always possible […]
It's time for another edition of projecting the IronPigs Roster, and for a primer on this, here's my previous projection. This year is harder than others, as the Phillies roster has more moving parts than normal. Anyway, here's where I have it: Starting Pitching- Crowded: I'm assuming for a moment that Miguel Gonzalez is here, […]
Image via Amy Irvin/38 Photography Back when it looked like this season was going the way of the early 90s Flyers, or that team that John Stevens had to save with the power of sheet cake, the Flyers’ PR department formed a plan. When your season is going badly, the best thing you can do […]
A few days ago, I posted an outlook for the IronPigs roster. A lot has changed since then. Kevin Frandsen left. Michael Stutes was released. We now know Buchanan will start out in the rotation in Lehigh Valley. Lots has changed. The Rotation- I still have it as Buchanan, Smith, O'Sullivan, Bootcheck, and Enright. With […]
Brett Brown has had a challenging year to say the least. Coming into Wednesday night’s game, the rookie Head Coach is 17-60 as they go through the motions in the final five games of the season. But Brown will do more than just go through the motions. He admitted during practice this week that he […]
(c/o Google Images) It's the end of April, which can mean only one of three things: Your fantasy team is unstoppable, and you're already laughing your way to the bank. Your fantasy team is awful, and you are in all-out scramble mode to avoid being the laughingstock of your friends, family, and co-workers. You […]
Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. Freddy Galvis can't hit. He probably will get better at it, but he's not good at it. Cody Asche isn't hitting. Jayson Nix really isn't that good at much of anything. All of them occupy Major League Roster spots for the Phillies. Not a day goes by where I don't […]
Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. Maikel Franco has struggled a bit more than Phillies fans probably would have liked to see this year. His .172 average and .487 OPS are pretty awful. His 22 total bases in 23 games is awful. His one homer, four doubles, and seven RBI's aren't suggesting the kind of power […]
