The Phillies and Astros squared off this afternoon in sunny Kissimmee, Florida. Cole Hamels took the mound for the Phils against Brad Peacock. In the bottom of the first inning, Hamels gave up a double to Tyler Greene. Greene later scored on a groundout from Chris Carter. After that double, Hamels found a groove and […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose The first wave of cuts in Phillies camp has come and gone. As it occured I found myself a bit more bullish on the Phillies' future than I was. Tommy Joseph, the finest position player prospect in the system, impressed offensively and defensively. He reminds me a lot of Mike Lieberthal but […]
A fan at the action captured it. Watch: Can Major League Baseball suspend players for their actions here?
Well, the Phillies sent a shell-team to Port Charlotte, and lost to the Rays yesterday. Who cares though, it's spring training. I am more concerned about Doc Halladay's velocity though. I'm not sure whether to be heartened by his decent results and reports of good movement on his fastball, or worried that he's throwing 86-88. […]
As late as Tuesday evening, the diagnosis on Matt Read was that he was healing, but would likely need three more weeks to heal after sustaining torn rib cage muscles February 20th vs. Pittsburgh. Read, though, was eager to return to the Flyers, who could use the young Forward's skills as they try to fight their way […]
A beautiful, sunny day in Port Charlotte, Florida brought about a solid matchup between the Rays' Cy Young award winner David Price and Kyle Kendrick for the Phils. The Phillies took an early lead in the first inning thanks to an RBI single off the bat Michael Young which scored Freddy Galvis. Kevin Frandsen made […]
Two weeks into Spring Training the panic had begun to set in. After two hits during the Phillies' intrasquad game to open live play, Phillies AA home run champ and newly designated left fielder Darin Ruf began slumping both at the Plate and in his new domain in left field. Almost immediately fans began questioning […]
It's another Spring Training day on which one team has to travel a bunch to get to find competition. It is the Phillies' turn today in the form of a long bus ride to Port Charlotte. While one may think the Rays could simply train in St. Petersburg where they play, but with average attendance […]
The Phillies pulled above .500 for the spring with yesterday's 6-3 win over the Washington Nationals. Roy Halladay dealed over four innings, despite a little controversy surrounding his throw behind OF Tyler Moore. Halladay said after his outing that the pitch slipped, but many are wondering about this claim. Earlier in the game, Nationals starter […]
Last week, Flyerdelphia examined what is going on with the rest of the teams around the league as the strike-shortened season approaches its 48-game halfway mark. After yesterday's dissapointing 4-2 loss to the New York Rangers, the Flyers now have 24 games in the books, and start the second half of their schedule at 11-12-1, a half-game […]
