Posted by Danielle Wilson Happy last day of spring training! And what a great last day it was for starter Cliff Lee and the Phillies' offense. In the beginning/middle of the game, anyway. On this Sunday afternoon, the last game of spring training for this Philadelphia team was played against the Atlanta Braves at the […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. (Photo courtesy of Lindsey Crew)So the Phillies lost their last home game of Spring yesterday. Not the best note to leave Clearwater with, but there is still one last game to be played. The Phillies will head up to Lake Buena Vista to play the Braves at Champion Stadium. It's been a […]
Well, more cuts come from Clearwater's Minor League Camps. Bill Rice, Brent Clevlen, and Jeff Lanning are gone. I'm a little surprised by this, since it means they lost some depth, but hey, who knows what the desires are in the upper minors. Between that and the Blanco signing, that's the news of the day. […]
The Phillies will be out of Florida by Sunday night, as camp is winding to it's conclusion. By Tuesday night exhibition ball will be done, and we'll be talking about real games. It's exciting, but it's also a very competitive time of year, as players compete to make rosters in every system in the league. […]
Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo Courtesy of Lindsey Crew) Yesterday's loss was not only annoying, but the game itself was just plain old boring. The Phillies lost the nearly four hour game to the Yankees, 13-9 and brought their Spring record down to 12-15-3. Today, Roy Halladay (1-1, 5.40 ERA) will make his final Grapefruit […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the final Friday game of spring training and the first night game for the Phillies this spring, left-handed relief pitcher Antonio Bastardo took the hill in Tampa against Michael Pineda for the Yankees. Pineda struggled early allowing three straight singles to Juan Pierre, Shane Victorino, and Jimmy Rollins. Juan Pierre […]
Posted by Erik Seybold The Phillies will play the Yankees for the final time this Spring when they travel to George M. Steinbrenner Field tonight. With the rosters being shrunken quickly, the Phillies will make most of their cuts by the end of the night. Yesterday, Juan Pierre was named to the 40-man roster. Pierre […]
Well, we're getting down to the very end of spring training. The Phillies played today, and they hit well. The problem? They didn't pitch so good. They lost 11-7. Vance Worley had an ugly outing. Raul Valdes and David Herndon both threw two shutout innings though, helping their chances. Hector Luna homered and had three […]
There are new workout groups in Clearwater. There are also new cuts. Eric Pettis was a surprise cut, but Matt Way was not. Hog Blog, as usual, had a great post today. It really shed light on a lot of stuff, including Chin-Hung Lu failing his physical, and the battle for back up catching jobs. […]
Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo Courtesy of Terry Foote/Flikr)Yesterday's pitching performance from Vance Worley was anything but pretty. The Vanimal was very off against the Twins, allowing 11 runs in the first four innings. Hopefully, Cole Hamels (1-1, 4.00 ERA) can have a better start today as he takes on the Tampa Bay Rays. Hamels will […]
