Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose. Cliff Lee and the Phillies fell to the Yankees last night, 6-2. Cliff was hit pretty hard pretty early in last night's affair, allowing five runs (two of which were earned) over 2 2/3 innings. The victim and to sloppy defense as well as a contributor, Lee and the Phillies tallied five […]
Prime time Spring Training exhibition found the Phillies playing one of the sloppiest games I've seen form a defense that already has it's fair share of question marks. They managed to commit five errors as a whole, two in the same at bat. Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, and the Yankees pen kept the Phillies crossing […]
Roy Halladay was roughed up pretty bad in yesterday's 10-6 loss to Detroit. Halladay said after the game that his bad performance was not because of any soreness, but because he was feeling lethargic due to a new intense throwing program he has been doing. He topped out at 87 mph, 1 mph slower than […]
Roy Halladay got rocked today. Like, rocked, rocked. He's only being clocked in the 84-85 range today too. Ok, enough awful-ness, let's run through some other topics in the blogosphere today: The Phillies cut five guys: Tyler Cloyd, Tyson Gillies, Sebastian Valle, Mauricio Robles, and B.J. Rosenberg. High Cheese had notes on all five. None […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew Today was not a good day for Roy Halladay. The Phillies and Tigers squared off this afternoon in Clearwater with Doc on the hill against Drew Smyly. Doc stayed in for 2.2 innings, tossing 69 pitches total. His line from this afternoon: 2.2 IP, 6 H, 7 ER, 4 BB, 2 K, […]
First things first, this isn't so much a reactionary post to Roy Halladay's rather alarming start this afternoon but it helped inspire me to put the thought to paper. I don't get worked up over spring starts but I do tend to get worked up over the lack of insurance in the Phillies starting rotation. […]
The Phillies made five roster cuts this morning. Tyler Cloyd, B.J. Rosenberg, Tyson Gilles, Sebastain Valle, and Mauricio Robles were all optioned to minor-league camp. One player, who was not cut and is still in Phillies' big-league camp is pitcher Phillippe Aumont. In the emergence of the World Baseball Classic brawl between Team Canada and […]
After a day off from game play, the Phillies are back in action this afternoon as they host the reigning American League Champion Detroit Tigers. Today Roy Halladay (2-0, 2.16 ERA) will make his fourth start of the spring and his second against the Tigers thus far. Drew Smyly (2-0, 0.00 ERA) will also make […]
Western Conference The Columbus Blue Jackets are in last place in the Central, but can you blame them? This division is unreal. Chicago just recently lost for the first time, Detroit is a perennial pain in the skate blade, and Nashville and St. Louis feature two of the stingiest defenses since Buddy Ryan’s 46. The […]
It is 3/11, and the Phillies have made a round of cuts, sending some players down already. Honestly the only mild surprise was Savery going so quick, but that's not even a real shock. Ryan Howard continued his hot start with another weekend homer. No shock there. Cole Hamels was great today too, which is also […]
