The Phillies Memorabilia Live Auction by Hunt Auctions took place last night at Citizens Bank Park. For the event, Hunt Auctions, which typically relies on consignments to fill their monthly online sales, partnered directly with the Phillies to offer an impressive selection of game-used equipment, autographs and stadium memorabilia. I had the opportunity to preview a […]
Photo by Rich Wilkins Well that was a garbage dump of a road trip. The Phillies were swept out of Cincinnati tonight and go home at 6-9. It was an awful trip, with two wins against the rat-awful Marlins being the saving grace. They did not score before the sixth inning of any of the […]
As if the Phillies' offensive struggles weren't noticeable enough, it was made clear tonight in Cincinnati. Mike Leake and John Lannan squared off tonight in what would be quite an ugly game. John Lannan would go only 1.2 innings tonight. Lannan got the hook after allowing six earned runs on eight hits, while walking one, […]
Well that was fast and also quite predictable. Yet, another game is on tap. John Lannan looks to build on his rather impressive start to the season against Mike Leake, who comes into tonight's contest with a 6.75 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in two starts. Just the right guy to throw 7 innings of […]
In a continuation of last night's ballgame that was postponed due to rain, Phillippe Aumont took the hill in the bottom of the ninth against the Reds. Zack Cozart led off the inning with a single, followed by a walk to Joey Votto. Ben Revere misplayed a fly ball in center, loading up the bases […]
Playing for respectability in the waning weeks of the strike-shortened 2013 season, the Flyers managed to hold off a late rally from the Rangers Tuesday night for their 19th win of the season. The Flyers (19-21-3), 5 points behind the Rangers for 8th place in the Eastern Conference, were fresh off of a 7-3 smackdown […]
Courtesy Jim Salisbury of CSN Homer Bailey and Kyle Kendrick were nothing short of spectacular tonight. After an hour and twenty minute rain delay in Cincinnati, the two starters squared off, and the duel bagan. Much like last night's ballgame, the Phillies' offense was nowhere to be found. Through EIGHT innings, the Phils had gathered […]
There's no doubt that last night's ball game was a tough-luck loss for the Phillies. Cliff Lee dazzled through six innings before allowing two runs in the seventh inning. With the Reds in control, the Phillies struck back with a Chase Utley pinch-hit two-run home run. With Lee off the hook for the loss, the […]
Photo: @TheHamels So these Bleacher Creature things are pretty cool. If you have no idea what I'm talking about – have you ever seen the little plush puppets of Ryan Howard, Roy Halladay, Chase Utley, and Cliff Lee? No? Well you're missing out because they're awesome. A couple years old, the Phillies have sold millions […]
We had ourselves a pitcher's duel tonight on this Jackie Robinson Day in Cincinnati between Cliff Lee and Bronson Arroyo. (.Gif file courtesy of Eliot on Twitter) Lee, backed by some stellar offense in center field (and possibly the best play of the year), was dominating the Reds tonight. The story was the same for […]
