Posted by Danielle Wilson In game one of today's doubleheader against the Nationals, Kyle Kendrick took the field with a lineup of Victorino, Valdez, Mayberry, Pence, Francisco, Kratz, Orr, and Martinez behind him. That wouldn't remain the lineup throughout the entire game, some of the guys certainly needed a breather today (Utley, Rollins, Ibanez, Chooch), […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson SportsIllustrated.CNN.com We've all seen The Hangover. Some of us have seen The Hangover Part II. Well, this was essentially The Hangover Part III. That's why no one cares about this loss. The game that mattered came last night, when the Phillies clinched their fifth straight division title. After much celebrating being […]
In a previous post, we determined that the Phillies' postseason roster would likely include (at least in the first round) fifteen position players. They have one open spot for a position player who was not on the MLB active roster on 8/31, provided they don't use that spot on a reliever. The "definites" we projected […]
In the previous post, we determined that the Phillies are likely to carry ten pitchers in the postseason's first round. The projected definites: Starting Pitchers (4): Halladay, Lee, Hamels, Oswalt Relief Pitchers (3): Madson, Bastardo, Worley This leaves three postseason roster spots open, with eight candidates to fill them: Brad Lidge, David Herndon, Kyle Kendrick, […]
With a postseason berth guaranteed, the Phillies will look to lock up the NL East, and to assure themselves of homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. The Phillies, through their impressive regular season performance, have afforded themselves two luxuries: they can use these final two weeks to give their regulars some much-needed rest, and to determine […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Finally, the Phillies can call up some extra help. The IronPigs' season ended tonight in a 4-1 loss in game four of their playoff series against the Clippers. Heartbreaking, to say the least. However, our hearts can mend with the call-ups of pitchers Justin DeFratus and Joe Savery. They have also […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Martinez scores the tying run in the ninth inning The magic number is down to one after the Phillies fell to the Cardinals in the first game of this series in extra innings. H0wever, the Mets defeated the Braves tonight, 11-2, which brought the magic number down to one. Thanks, Mets! […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Game one of this double header against the Marlins was started by Kyle Kendrick, who hasn't pitched in 21 days. However, he pitched a solid six innings, being limited to only 75-80 pitches. He took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before Logan Morrison homered to put the Marlins on the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I was beginning to wonder when the sweeping would come to an end. First the Astros swept the Phils in August of 2010, then the Phillies got them back in the opening series of 2011, now this? The Phillies barely made it out this afternoon alive as they went on to […]
