Well, the week (at least my week of “Sizing Up Sandberg”) started off nice for Ryne Sandberg. He had a few nice moves in the early innings of Saturday’s game—which he entered on a five-game winning streak. Although they ultimately lost Saturday, on execution (a misplaced Hamels pitch), not strategy, Sandberg finished what is probably […]
Saturday's doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves in the middle of 20 consecutive days without a day off means that the Phillies will need to add a starting pitcher. With Jonathan Pettibone injured, there was no obvious choice in AAA to take a spot. After many disasterous "bullpen games" in recent years, the Phillies are prepared […]
The Phillies made a couple moves with the AA Reading Fightin' Phils roster today. First, outfield prospect Jiwan James was released from the organization. Second, pitching prospect Jesse Biddle was placed on the temporary inactive list. Both were drafted with high upsides but struggled along with injuries. Reading Eagle Fightin' Phils […]
In his previous two starts, A.J. Burnett had been able to limit the number of walks he allowed to opposing lineups, no doubt improving his ability to provide quality starts. Last night, though, Burnett gave up another three free passes, placing him back in the lead in that category in the National League. The Phillies […]
Here's our final mock draft, two hours before the draft. Again, like last time, this is just the listing of where selection will fall within the picks. In other words, it does not account for trades. The team listed next to each pick is the team that currently holds the pick, as the order was […]
Well, its draft day! We are now just a few hours away from receiving the answers to all of our questions. What will the Sixers do in this year’s draft? Over the past few weeks, the whole city has been buzzing with their own predictions and trade proposals for the Sixers. Now it’s time to […]
With the 1st pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select, Nerlens Noel center University of Kentucky….wait what? What if Nerlens Noel and MCW had decided to stay at their respective schools for their sophomore seasons and they were available in tonight’s draft? When do you think they would go and […]
YESSSSS, it's finally here! Forget working today, you are filling the hours between now and the draft by watching the USA-Germany match (yes, do yourself a favor and watch that) and consuming every piece of NBA writing you can find that is relevant (or not!) to tonight's events. So here's some ammo for NBA procrastination […]
Saltalamacchia's fourth-inning, 2-run double was the difference maker in a 3-2 Marlins win Wednesday A.J Burnett was solid over seven innings, but timely hitting and a strong start from Henderson Alvarez made the difference in Miami's 3-2 win Wednesday night. Things went smoothly in the first for Burnett, who needed nine pitches to sit the […]
Phillies Five is re-juvinated and back this week as Philliedelphia.com takes a look into the Phillies bullpen. A squad that has held opposing hitters to just 6 runs in 48 1/3 innings since June 3rd, the Phillies bullpen has been a big part of the reason the Phillies aren't losing every game they play right […]
