As if this season wasn't bad enough, Phillies reliever Antonio Bastardo brought further disgrace to the Phillies organization today. According to Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal, Bastardo has accepted a 50-game suspension for his involvement with the Biogenesis doping lab. The suspension will be announced this afternoon and Bastardo will not pitch again this season. The […]
^Darin Ruf, probably wondering if someone will drive him in Cliff Lee didn't have his best stuff Sunday night, and the Phillies' bats were stagnant yet again in a 4-1 loss to the Braves. Lee (10- 5) was in trouble early against the Braves, who had taken the first two games of the series with […]
This one is going to be quick and to the point. The Phillies need to start winning or people are going to stop coming to the ball park. Yesterday's 11-inning loss to the Braves was just another example of how this team has played baseball for the past two years. Lazy, un-driven, and shakey bullpen […]
After another loss last night, the Phillies' season is mortally wounded as they are tied with the Mets at 14.5 games back of the division. A few more losses, they could find themselves in fourth place and I'm not sure I'd be shocked if the Marlins caught them eventually either. If one thing can […]
Welcome to the big leagues, Ethan Martin. After a nice first inning in which he struck out two and a second inning that was 1-2-3, Martin started getting lit up. In the third, Jason Heyward singled in Andrelton Simmons. The fourth was clean but then came the scoring. Five Braves scored in the fifth […]
After last night's disgusting loss to the San Francisco Giants, the Phillies are now a season-worst 8 games under .500 as they head into the weekend. Thirteen and a half games out of first in the division, the Phillies have continued to fail at keeping it together in close ball games. Last night after Cole […]
According to Todd Zolecki, the Phillies are calling up Ethan Cash Martin for a spot start on Friday, August 2nd, in place of Cliff Lee, who remains sidelined by a neck injury. This will be Ethan’s first major league appearance, and a debut that I have been anticipating for quite some time. This is a […]
^ This is what failure looks like. Cole Hamels pitched eight great innings, but it was not enough as the San Fransisco Giants rallied for two runs in the ninth to stun the Phillies Thursday night in Philly's 2-1 loss. Hamels (4-13) and opposing starter Matt Cain (7-6) both came out dealing, matching zeroes over […]
(Photo: @ToddZolecki) He went 41 for 41 in save opportunities. He carried the success through the post season, securing 7 saves in as many opportunities for a total of 48-for-48. He did the unthinkable and the unimaginable. He did something that one man, Tug McGraw, did 28 years prior. Brad Lidge sealed the deal against […]
Yesterday, word broke out that before the 4 PM deadline for trading passed, the New York Yankees had caught wind that Phillies' third baseman Michael Young would waive his no-trade clause for them if a deal could be put in place. There was no deal put in place, but it was later reported that the […]
