Welcome to Around the Net, a look at the Philadelphia Flyers on and off the ice. This week we look at Andrej Meszaros and his back, Claude Giroux and whether he misses playing with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter, Ilya Bryzgalov earning another NHL player of the week honor and more. Meszaros to have surgery, […]
Posted by Erik Seybold There's always a change of plans for the Phillies' starting pitchers in Spring Training. Usually the regular season starters get four to five starts a Spring. Cole Hamels made his fourth yesterday, and it wasn't the prettiest outing. He allowed five earned runs on eight hits in just 3 1/3 innings. […]
Well, Sunday was eventful in Phillies camp, so there's movement all around. The biggest news was in the bullpen, where Jose Contreras made his return. While he wasn't effective, that's not the point. He was back, he pitched, and he's healthy. Laynce Nix played some minor league ball Sunday, as did Jim Thome, and both […]
In 2011, the Iron Pigs fell two wins short of winning the Governor's Cup as the International League champions, in their first season under Ryne Sandberg as manager. By some grace of God, Sandberg wasn't picked up as a big league manager, and well, he's back for a second year. What kind of team is […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. The Phillies beat the Blue Jays in extra innings at home yesterday. Today, the Phils will travel a cool five and a half miles to Dunedin to play the Blue Jays for the second day in a row. Today, Cole Hamels (0-0, 1.69 ERA) gets the start, his fouth of the […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. In the first inning of yesterday's 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, Placido Polanco dove back to first base head first on a pickoff throw and wound up injuring his left ring finger. He toughed it out for an inning, but left the game in the third inning to have […]
Posted by Erik Seybold Chase Utley has not played a single game this Spring and has barely been seen until today. Utley, who has been dealing with chronic tendonitis in his right knee for over a year now, has become a great concern for the team. This afternoon, Utley spoke to media personel in the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Happy Saint Patrick's Day, everyone! And what a beautiful day for baseball in Clearwater. Vance Worley kicked off this afternoon's game for the Phils with Brandon Morrow on the mound for the Blue Jays. It didn't take long for the Phils to put up a run, Jimmy Rollins hit a leadoff […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. Happy St. Patrick's day everybody! While you all may be sipping Bailey's all day, the Phillies still have a game. The Phils will face the split-squad Toronto Blue Jays. After falling to the Pirates 3-2 yesterday, the Phillies are still looking for some offense. Something that has not shown up to […]
The Phillies fell asleep for yesterday's game with the Pirates, and lost 3-2. Here's the box score. There was little news after Dontrelle's release. I think the biggest thing to take from this game was the battle between Podsednik and Pierre. Pierre went 0-for-4 with a walk, and Podsednik went 1-for-3 with a walk. Podsednik […]
