Posted by Christina Angelos Courtesy of lehighvalleylive.com Welcome back Shane Victorino! Phillies finally had their 2011 Opening Day lineup for the first time this season, but managed one run, losing 2-1 in 12 innings to the Pirates. Cole Hamels. No Words. He pitched eight innings with one hit, one earned, three walks and four […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The outcome that Phillies fans have been waiting a few days to hear about, who would be sent down to AAA Lehigh Valley when Shane Victorino returns? John Mayberry Jr. It was either Mayberry or Rule 5 Draft pick Michael Martinez who are both young, versatile infielders and outfielders. Mayberry went […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson On this sweltering Wednesday afternoon, the Phillies completed a three-game series in Washington, which was the rubber match of the series following yesterday's 10-2 loss. Roy Oswalt took the bump today against John Lannan, who is notoriously known for hitting just about every batter in the Phils' lineup. He's 0-10 against […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Shane Victorino looking dapper at the Grammy Awards. As starting centerfielder Shane Victorino approaches his return to the Phillies, a difficult roster decision lies ahead. Which player do the Phils remove from the active roster, to open a spot for Victorino? The Phillies could option a reliever to AAA, and go […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Kyle Kendrick In a pair of connected moves, the Phillies announced that RHP Kyle Kendrick will start in Pittsburgh on Saturday, and that LHP Mike Zagurski will replace optioned RHP Vance Worley on the MLB roster. Why not just keep Vance Worley around? Worley is the fifth-best (healthy) starter in the […]
A player who will most likely be remembered for an infamous injury in the playoffs, Patrick Thoresen was a respectable 4th liner for the Flyers during the latter part of the 2007-2008 NHL season. In his 35 games in a Flyers' uniform, Thoresen didn't register a single goal, but did post seven assists (two in […]
Posted by Christina Angelos This post is pure opinion, but my take on how much there has been inconsistency with the strike zone. I have a couple photos from tonight's game and one from another Cliff Lee start. I believe Cliff Lee is not hurt, but I also believe he may not be hitting the […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The last time Cliff Lee faced the Nats at Nationals Park, he three-hit them, striking out 12. Jason Marquis has never had much luck against the Phillies, and his 9.67 earned run average against them says it all. The Nationals took the lead early on in the bottom of the third […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth After Monday's win over the Washington Nationals, the Phillies optioned RHP Vance Worley to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs (AAA). A corresponding move has not yet been announced. Is this move meant to send a message to Worley, who recently complained to the press about his usage? Doubtful. After his start on […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson The Phillies hopped on the train to Washington from New York to take on the Nationals for a three-game series. Roy Halladay who has won his last nine decisions against Washington/Montreal took the mound flashing a 2.58 earned run average. The pesky Nats took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of […]
