Phillies fans were excited. The team had a shot to catch up to either the first place Atlanta Braves or catch up to the second wild card. But it appears that even players on the Phillies do not seem to think what they have will be good enough. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports caught up […]
The Phillies apparently are willing to try anything right now in their quest for a center fielder. We already knew that Cesar Hernandez was working in center field in case something happened to Phillies regular Ben Revere. But now, they appear to be ruling no one out, as reported by Iron Pigs field reporter […]
A week ago, Phillies left-handed reliever was on the comeback trail, rehabbing at AAA Lehigh Valley. He was doing well: Jeremy Horst with some pretty good heat, strikes out two of three batters he faces in the T7. Wer'e tied at 1-1 — jeff schuler (@jschulermc) July 12, 2013 But as of yesterday the Phillies […]
Does Delmon Young Have a Defensive Replacement? Nope. The Phillies went into the All-Star break with three catchers after Ben Revere hit the disabled list and Erik Kratz returned from injury. The assumption was that the Phillies would make a roster move before they returned to action tonight at Citi Field in New York against […]
Wikipedia Commons The gimmicks to get people to Citi Field just don't stop. We already let you know about the open bar promotion and David Wright home run derby promotion. (David Wright, by the way, came in 7th place, good for 20% off this weekend's Phillies games at Citi Field). The latest also occurs this […]
Phillies fans are not the only ones taking notice of the Phillies' recent surge; the national scene has gotten on board the Phillies bandwagon, too.

While it seems to be a foregone conclusion that the Phillies will trade third baseman Michael Young prior to the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline. However, he may not be going anywhere at all. MLB Network's Peter Gammons says that he is hearing that Phillies are telling teams that Young is not available: Fwiw, […]
Courtesy Metsmerized Mets Blog. Nobody wants to go to Mets games. So, the New York Mets are trying to get them to go by making tickets up to 80% off. In the past, the Mets have resorted to packaging tickets with an open bar to get fans extra drunk before the game with an additional […]
During last night's Phillies – Nationals game at Citizens Bank Park the situation that Laynce Nix was signed for came up. It was late innings, time for a pinch-hitter, and the pitcher on the mound, Drew Storen, was right-handed. So, Charlie Manuel went to his lineup card and called upon… Kevin Frandsen. Additionally, the […]

Facing the Rome Braves, Stefan did not allow a hit through six innings. Not fully stretched out to go much further, Blue Claws manager Mickey Morandini made the difficult decision […]
