Matt Kemp of the LA Dodgers has also been selected. The brand has had cartoon characters has the […]
Remember that $750K contract ALCS MVP Delmon Young signed with the Phillies in January, the one that pays him to stop eating so much? Well the former Detroit Tiger has successfully starved himself to reach his first $600K incentive. In even better news (well, depending on who you are), Young's recovery from offseason ankle surgery […]
Well, there's plenty to discuss today. Darin Ruf had an awful day yesterday, and I think his roster spot is in real jeopardy. This is probably the biggest worry I have right now about this team, as I'm genuinely worried about Mayberry and Nix even in a platoon. I'm also a little puzzled by Ruben […]
Cuts can't be that awful far off, meaning the Minor League teams can't be that far from coming into focus. While much of the early spring attention has been on the big league squads, the Phillies will send four minor league squads forth from camp, and competition for these spots is fierce too. In Lehigh […]
The Phillies proved stronger than their Keystone rival Pittsburgh Pirates in yesterday's game, as the Phillies pulled out a 5-0 win. John Lannan pitched superb in his second start of the spring. The left-hander tossed three innings of one-hit ball against the Pirtates while striking out two. With that win, the Phillies pulled to .500 […]
A chilly day in Dundedin, Florida brought about a few not-so-chilly bats from both the Phillies and the Blue Jays. R.A. Dickey started today's game for Toronto. In the first inning, the Phillies brought three across the plate, taking an early lead. Michael Young collected an RBI double scoring Frandsen, and Ryan Howard followed with […]
With the highly-anticipated World Baseball Classic starting up just last night, players have started to pack their bags and leave Spring Training. Though only two of them will probably be on the Opening Day roster, ten Phillies players will be playing for six different teams. The two most notable names, Jimmy Rollins and Phillippe Aumont, […]
Doc Operates The Phillies have played seven games now, and we're under a month from Opening Day in Atlanta, so we can start to make some assumptions about the team that will take the field. With that said though, we'll start with the news of recent days. That Ball's Outta Here re-caps yesterday's win over […]
The Phillies are headed just north of Clearwater Beach to Dunedin to take on The Toronto Blue Jays at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium. Cliff Lee takes the mound for the Phillies today. The Phillies will face former National League East foe and reigning National League Cy Young award winner R.A. Dickey. After Dickey is done […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose Ticket sales at Citizens Bank Park are very slow right now, but there is not much to worry about. Remember last year and the year before, when tickets to any game were scarce (unless you have connections or you use StubHub)? Last season, five games alone were sold out completely in under […]
