In his last outing, Hamels lasted just 3 1/3 innings against the Blue Jays, allowing four earned runs on eight hits, while […]
Posted by Erik Seybold The Phillies have their rotation for the 2012 regular season set and it's a mighty fine one. Roy Halladay will get the start on Opening Day on April 5th in Pittsburgh, his 10th straight Opening Day start. But that was set it in stone ages ago. While Cliff Lee will get […]
Posted by Erik Seybold Chase Utley is back, but please don't get excited. Ruben Amaro has only stated that "Chase is here." Amaro nor the Phillies have said anything about Utley's condition after he left camp to see a knee specialist earlier this week. Amaro, did however have news on Michael Martinez. Martinez, who took […]

Posted by Erik Seybold. This morning, the Phillies optioned Domonic Brown to minor league camp. Shocker. Brown was limited to just seven Grapefruit League games this Spring due to injuries including a sprained right thumb on March 8th and a stiff neck this past week. Brown showed success at the plate, batting .300 (6-20) with […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Just one of those games, I suppose. But, who cares, it's only spring training. In Dunedin to face the Blue Jays, Cliff Lee took the mound for the Phillies and pitched a tremendous six innings allowing just one run on five hits, no walks, and seven strikeouts. Brandon Morrow got the […]
Posted by Erik Seybold (Photo courtesy of Cook And Son Bats) The Braves announced this morning that after 18 seasons of donning a Braves uniform, 39 year-old Larry Wayne "Chipper" Jones Jr. will retire at the end of the 2012 season. It's not like he still poses an austere threat to the Phillies. The guy's […]
Posted by Erik Seybold After an off-day yesterday, the Phillies are getting back to business. This afternoon, they will head over to Dunedin for the second time this week. The Phils are only 9-9 this Spring and haven't brought a lot of offense to the plate. They have been plagued with bad news and injuries […]
When the Phillies suffer bench injuries like Michael Martinez's broken right foot, guess who gets raided? Yeah, Ryno's Iron Pigs. While I still expect them to put a pretty good product out this year, Galvis and Orr were two guys expected to be a big part of this team. For that matter, Herndon and Savery […]
