We’ve covered just about every potential first round draft in this weekly series for the 2014 NBA Draft. With the draft now less than two weeks away, we take a look at our final prospect. Last but not least would be UCLA’s Zach LaVine, likely a mid-first round pick. The Sixers of course have the […]
The Fightin’ Phills are playing their best baseball of the season, having their first four-game winning streak in over a calendar year. They’ve also won eight of their last ten games, with the last four coming against division rival Atlanta and the reigning National League champs, St. Louis. I’ve scratched my head at a lot […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Andrew GillenRyan Howard is on a tear, and it will continue in St. Louis On June 2nd, 2013, the Phillies were coming off of 4-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. It was their second loss of the series, and it pushed their season record to 26-29, three games under the .500 mark. During that […]
The Phillies are thin with outfield depth, as we saw with the early call-up of Aaron Altherr when Tony Gwynn Jr. hit the bereavement list. Darin Ruf is injured, Ben Revere is sore, Tony Gwynn Jr. is away, and there are few options. So, one might expect the Phillies could be looking for help. […]
In the fifth inning of last night's Phillies victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, third baseman Reid Brignac hit an infield grounder that was fielded by Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller. In an attempt to beat the other, both Brignac and Miller converged on first base in a way not recommended: a sort of half-jump or […]
It’s difficult to imagine what the Sixers roster might look like on opening night this coming season. There is a very real chance that our starting five will only have seven years of NBA experience to their names, six coming from veteran Thaddeus Young, and the last coming from 2014 Rookie of the Year, Michael […]
Just two weeks ago, 'sweeping' didn't seem to be in the Phillies vocabulary. The word was used only for teams that could contend, teams that had a legitimate playoff opportunity. Teams would sweep the Phillies, and would rarely play out the opposite way. However, as the dawn of June 19th, 2014, rose upon us, this […]
#450785344 / gettyimages.com The Phillies (32-38) just completed a sweep of the Atlanta Braves (36-35) for the first time since 2011. Tonight the Phillies move on to St. Louis to face the Cardinals (39-33). The Phillies will send rookie right-hander, David Buchanan (2-3 5.97 ERA), to the hill. Buchanan took the win in his […]
A bunch of Phillies news today. Catcher Cameron Rupp is headed to St. Louis to fill in for the sore Wil Nieves, the Phillies announced today. Nieves pulled a quad muscle after hitting his second double on Wednesday afternoon. Nieves is not heading to the disabled list, however. Rupp will take outfielder Aaron Altherr's spot […]
#492016573 / gettyimages.com Cody Asche is expected to return to the big leagues tomorrow. Asche hit the DL on May 22nd with a hamstring injury. Before hitting the DL, Asche was a very hot hitter, having 16 hits in his last 50 at-bats, including two homers, four doubles, and 11 RBISs. That raised his […]
