Pete Orr, Left Fielder Cole Hamels looks to stay hot against a team that's given him trouble in the past in the Mets. While he's gotten his ERA down to 4.34 at Citi Field, it's not been the kindest park to him in his career. Still he's a hot pitcher right now pitching like the […]
Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. The IronPigs won a game they had to have last night, beating the Buffalo Bison 5-3 in come from behind fashion, pulling a game up on the Bison, and keeping hope alive in the Wild Card race in the International League. They are 4.5 games back with six to go […]
Asche and Ruf, Here to Stay. Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. Matt Gelb asked it, Paul Boye at Crashburn Alley tried it, and frankly why not do it too? Who will be on the 40 man next year that is on it now, you ask? Probably most of the players on now, sadly. Turnover isn't […]
Wiki Commons Photo in the Public Domain I have this buddy of mine who is full of bad ideas- he wouldn't trade Ryan Howard if he could, he still likes the Papelbon move, he wants to put Dom Brown in center, wants to give Hunter Pence a $75 million deal this winter, and utterly hates […]
Kyle Kendrick meets Jon Niese tonight in Game 2 of the 4 game series in Citi Field. Kendrick has been mediocre lately and looks to get back on track against a depleted Mets line up that just traded Marlon Byrd and John Buck earlier today. A link worth checking out comes from sabermetrics blog Beyond the […]
Photo Credit: Andrew Gillen Coming off the best homestand they've had since before the July All-Star Break, the Phillies hit the road, where they've been less than stellar. Lucky for them, Cliff Lee was the first started tabbed for the New York series. However, rookie Zack Wheeler stood in there way. Despite his slightly ballooned […]
For all the flaws of this season, the Phillies have found a way to make the past week quite exciting. The games are fun, even the 18 inning marathon that they eventually dropped to the Diamondbacks was full of goodies that baseball junkies like myself eat up. They're on a fairly nice run lately. Now […]
An 18 inning, 7+ hour baseball game typically causes some shakeups for the involved ballclubs. For the Phillies, it meant their former Cy Young pitcher would be making his return a few weeks early. Twelve hours before he was set to make the start for the Reading Fightins, Roy Halladay got the call to take […]
(Photo: Todd Zolecki)ROY HALLADAY IS BACK! Harry Leroy Halladay III will make his first start since May 5th after spending the past three and a half months on the DL! After losing the longest game in Phillies history (7 hours, 6 minutes) last night the Phillies will need to turn to Halladay in an effort […]
It was reported late last night that Phillies veteran righthander Roy Halladay would be making his first start in three months after missing time on the DL with an injured shoulder. Halladay has been activated and in response for the roster move, Tyler Cloyd has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh. Cloyd pitched five scoreless innings […]
