Cole Hamels took the mound for the Phillies tonight. Cole went 6 innings, had 7 hits, 4 runs, 3 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Bullpen did well (they did not implode… small steps), but the bats were dead. The Phillies only scored three runs in one inning. Chase Utley made his return to his team today, […]
After a long day off following a series win over the Nationals, the Phillies are ready to kick it in to gear again for another 10 straight games. On Wednesday the Phillies failed to sweep the Nationals, but still came away with a series win. Sitting three games under .500 and 7 1/2 games out […]
Working on either a 2008 or 2009 Phillies team autograph project? If so, you likely have (or, will have) this weekend circled on your calendar. I have a few projects in the works myself, and am looking forward to crossing paths with members of those teams at area signing appearances Friday and Saturday. Here is […]
Jrue Holiday's tiresome work throughout the season has paid off: the 23-year old point guard was invited last week to work out for the 2013 USA Men's National Team. Jrue, along with 26 other players, will work out and compete at the mini-camp in Las Vegas from July 22-25. In my opinion, Jrue […]
Kendrick started the game with a 7 pitch first inning and continued to be steady throughout the game. He went 7.2 innings, had 2 hits, 1 run, 1 walk, and 6 strikeouts. The bats for both the Phillies and Nats were quiet (until the end), and both pitchers had excellent games (Gonzalez, 7 IP, 2 […]
With last night's 4-2 win over Washington, the Phillies not only sealed their second straight win, but they pulled within seven games of first place behind the Braves – tying the Nationals. Cliff Lee was superb even after an hour and 14 minute-long rain delay before the game started. Lee made just two mistakes, two […]
Courtesy of Blueclaws.com The Phillies are promoting one of their Top 10 prospects, moving third baseman Maikel Franco from High Class-A Clearwater up to Double-A Reading. Franco, who turns 21 at the end of August, is hitting .299/.349/.576 with a Florida State League (it's a pitcher friendly league) leading 16 home runs and 52 RBI. […]
Cliff Lee struck pitched eight outstanding innings, and Michael Young contributed three doubles as the Phillies defeated the Washington Nationals 4-2 Tuesday night. The start of the game was delayed by an hour and 14 minutes, but the game went rather quickly as starters Cliff Lee and Ross Detwiler looked locked in from the beginning, […]
Last night the Phillies gave their fans something to be happy about. In the series opener against Washington last night John Lannan returned after two months on the DL and took a no-decision against his former team. He allowed two earned on six hits through five innings. Headed into the ninth with a 4-3 lead, […]
