Posted by Danielle Wilson In one of the quickest games of spring training thus far, the Phillies dropped a game to the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton. Cliff Lee started this afternoon's game, and was clearly affected by the release of Dontrelle Willis (kidding), because he gave up a solo home run to Starling Marte to […]
This morning, it was reported that the Phillies had released LHP Dontrelle Willis. Willis signed a one-year, $1MM deal with the Phillies back in December in an effort to revive his career as a reliever. The 30 year-old Willis last played a major league game with the Cincinatti Reds in August of last year. In […]
Well, i'm glad I waited until the morning to write this one. First off, the Phillies played two yesterday. In one game, they beat the Braves 6-4 in Clearwater. In the other game, they tied the Rays 6-6 in Port Charlotte. Now the news. Though he got the win yesterday, Dontrelle Willis got released today. […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The 2-10 Braves came to town this afternoon to face starter Joe Blanton and the Phils. In Port Charlotte, the Phillies split squad team played against the Rays. In Clearwater, Jim Thome got the ball rolling in the first inning with an RBI single to left field. Left fielder Matt Diaz […]
The Phillies played a game today, and lost 6-4. Here's the box score. Well, there's lots and lots of unwarranted Roy Halladay panic. He pitched pretty bad today, and didn't last three innings. So of course, we're hearing his velocity is down and his arm slot is changed. This is one of the biggest non-issues […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies dropped another game to the Twins this afternoon in Clearwater. Roy Halladay allowed five earned runs on seven hits in 2 2/3 innings. Four of those runs came via home run, the first of the two allowed coming from Josh Willingham, who also hit an RBI single in the […]
Posted by Erik Seybold The professor has spoken once again. This time it's not about being the team to beat, nor is it a claim to win 120 games. This time, it's about his injured teammates. Phillies' shortstop Jimmy Rollins is practically the only starting infielder playing any games this Spring. Chase Utley is being […]
Starting today, I will do a daily update on the Phillies roster, and what I think it looks like. So, here we go. In my view, the top decision facing Ruben and Charlie is what to do with Domonic Brown. We all knew it would be in the end, right? The dude's insanely talented, and […]
Philliedelphia/Corey Shaw "Well, that's not how you want to finish it.," Larry Andersen exclaimed. Raul Valdez, Brian Sanches, and Jeremy Horst each blew saves en route to a 6-5 loss to the Houston Astros Tuesday in Kissimmee, capped by a Brian Bixler home run in the bottom of the 10th inning. The good news is […]
Jimmy Rollins homered, Hector Luna drove in a run, but the highlight of the day was a stellar pitching performance from starter Vance Worley as the Phillies traveled to Bradenton to face the Pittsburgh Pirates. Worley worked four perfect innings, striking out eight Pirates batters before giving way to Pat Misch in the fifth. Pirates […]
