From Stanton's Twitter Let me start with this- I'd love to have Giancarlo Stanton in Philadelphia for the next decade. Seriously. The guy is a certified beast, and in Philly he'd play in meaningful games. Imagine him splitting up Utley and Howard, or hitting behind Howard, or whatever else you want to do with him! […]
I'll be honest, the Phillies suck right now. Even after they washed away the Mets this past weekend, they went back to their old ways of failure to hit with runners on and simply score. The Indians scored a total of 20 runs between Tuesday and Wednesday, completely obliterating the Phillies in both games. Roy […]

The Phillies outfield has the lowest OPS in the majors, and Ruben screwed up to make it this way. If you're reading about the Phillies though, you already know that. I'm going to ignore Delmon Young for a minute, who A.) has only played two games, B.) hasn't played the field yet, and C.) actually […]

Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. Darin Ruf hit his third homer in three days yesterday. He's 8-for his last-13, with three doubles and three homers in the last three days. He was off to a slow start, but now starts to look like he's ready to go. The Phillies seem content to leave him in […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey CrewYesterday was completely disgusting. Losing 14-2 just about explains itself. The Phillies' pitching got creamed and their offense was unable to come remotely close. The Indians are hot right now. They've scored 33 runs in their last three games and decimated Roy Halladay last night. Tonight the Phillies are looking for a split […]
Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. We're a month into the season, and the Phillies are a 12-15 team. They have an inconsistent offense, basically solid starting pitching, a good bench so far, and a terrible bullpen besides the back-end guys. Here's where we're at. Start with the good stuff- the A grades: Pinch-Hitters- Yes, all […]
Photo by Richard Wilkins Jr. Jim Thome doesn't want to quit baseball. Yes, he's a big 42 year old man who has a bad back, so there's no reason to think there are teams who are lining up to get him. Here's the flip side- He's hit 612 home runs, and is on his way […]
A fatter version of the current Delmon Young It was supposed to be an entertaining game. The Phillies were making their first appearance in Clevland since 2007, and Roy Halladay was going to continue his three-game hot streak. However, he reverted back to the beginning of the season, and Zach McCallister looked dominant. He held […]
