After weeks of what felt like nothing but agony and torture, last night's victory in the first game against the San Diego Padres was a huge relief, at least for one night. To start, A.J. Burnett looked impressive. Coming off of some pretty disturbing performances, the veteran was crafty and held his opponents to low […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Andrew Gillen A single win in the month of June was one of the (very) few shreds of hope the Phillies and their fans had to hang on to going into tonight's ballgame. On the field, nobody was performing to a particularly high standard, and the pitching was not much better. Off the field, […]
To say the Phillies recent struggles are well-documented is an understatement. With just a single win in June, the team is tied with the Chicago Cubs for the worst record in the National League. Only the Tampa Bay Rays have a worse record in the majors. Those few who still believed this team had a […]

Last night in Cincinnati, the Phils argued that a close play at the plate cost them the game; during today's rubber match, though, runners never made it that far. The issue wasn't lack of baserunners, as the Phils matched the Reds hit for hit. The difference, of course, is that Cincinnati brought runners home while […]

Well, earlier today we heard that Ken Giles could be headed to the majors. Turns out that this is true, but at a big price. Mike Adams, near dominant in recent outings, has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with right rotator cuff inflammation, according to a number of reports. Adams figured to be […]
#495051417 / gettyimages.com Yesterday, the Phillies (25-35) shut out the Reds (28-32) back by a strong performance from the offense, starter Cole Hamels, and the bullpen. Today looking to take the series against the Reds, the Phillies sent Roberto Hernandez (2-4 4.35 ERA) to the hill. This season Hernandez has fail to seven innings […]
According to Anthony Gargano of 94 WIP, the Phillies are close to adding another arm to their bullpen. That would be Ken Gilies, the pitcher who perhaps throws the fastest in their whole organization. While the Phillies' bullpen has had their share of problems, they have pitched rather well as of late. The Phillies currently […]
Let's just say that when it comes to Cole Hamels and the Reds, the Reds are always on the short end of the stick. Last night, for the tenth time in his career, Cole Hamels defeated the Reds. With strong offensive support from his teammates at the plate, Hamels manned the hill for 7 2/3 […]
