Morning Call IronPig's beat writer Jeff Schuler wrote in his piece about the team that the Phillies were supposed to release minor league rosters yesterday, but didn't. So they may release them anytime today. The other big news of the overnight was the release of Austin Hyatt, a starter for Reading and Lehigh Valley over […]
Photo by my Father in Minnesota, 2012. Well, later today the Phillies will play the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park. Being that these are the final two exhibition games, it seems time to make a roster prediction. Here goes our final one: Rotation: Hamels, Halladay, Lee, Kendrick, Lannan. Line-Up: Revere-CF, Rollins-SS, Utley-2B, Howard-1B, M. […]
Spring Training is over. The Phillies are breaking camp, getting on a plane, and heading north to Philadelphia to play two with the Blue Jays before heading to Atlanta for Opening Day. I wanted to take one quick moment to re-cap the good and bad of the spring. 1. Good- Seeing the prospects- I always […]
Yesterday I did a roster prediction for every team that is breaking camp in the Phillies system this week. Today I have no changes. Today they did play, and they did win their finale in Florida, a 7-2 win over the Blue Jays. The Phillies finish the Grapefruit schedule 16-15, and now head north to […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew I goofed yesterday when I said that yesterday's game was the final spring training game in Florida. I mis-read the schedule and thought the On-Deck Series started today. My bad. The Phils ended up winning nonetheless, so that's good news. Anyway, today is really the last day that the Phillies will be […]
The pass and shot will echo through the eternal hockey halls for ages. It was in the gold medal game of the 2010 Olympics when a certain winger threaded a perfect pass between two USA defenders to find a swift-skated sniper, who prompted buried the rubber past a slow-to-react Ryan Miller. Those two unnamed […]
Let this sink in for a moment- tomorrow is the last Grapefruit League game, and on Friday the Phillies will be in Philadelphia. Ok, enough of that. Yesterday I put out a set of roster predictions for every team that will break camp and start next week. Literally nothing has changed with the big league […]
So…the Phillies traded away an ace? Well, the Minnesota Twins have officially named right-hander Vance Worley as their Opening Day starter this afternoon. Despite Worley having a 6.35 ERA (12 ER in 17 IP) in five starts, the Twins still see Worley the best choice for their rotation (I'll have what they're having, please). Worley, […]
The Phillies played their second-to-last game in Florida this afternoon as they took on the Tigers. Cole Hamels and Justin Verlander got the start, six days before both are set to start on Opening Day. The Phillies got out to an early lead in the first as Michael Young sac-flied to score Ben Revere, who […]
Spring training has finally come to an end for Cole Hamels, who makes his final preparation today. The Phillies will face the Detroit Tigers before they come to their Clearwater home to host the Blue Jays at Bright House Field one last time and then for their On-Deck Series at Citizens Bank Park. Yesterday, the […]
