If the Phillies were going to continue to look to the minor leagues for pitching depth, they will not be able to turn to one of their top pitching prospects. Adam Morgan, named one of the Phillies top propects in several top baseball publications, has a small tear in his rotator cuff, reports Michael […]
Something had to give. A historically "slow-starter", as Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. called him, Chad Durbin continued to consistently allow baserunners and runs. After last night's 9-2 loss to Boston in which Durbin gave up four hits and three runs in just an inning's work, his ERA was 9.00 after 16 appearances. Today […]
It was bound to happen at some point right? Jonathan Pettibone took his perfect record to the mound tonight against former Phillies playoff foe Franklin Morales, making his first appearance of the season tonight. From the start, the Phillies gave the upper hand to the Red Sox. Pettibone got beat up in the […]
During last night's game against the Boston Red Sox and in preceding weeks, Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel made some moves that appear to show his displeasure with some of the players General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. has given him to use. Case One: Michael MartinezThe Phillies added infielder Michael Martinez when second baseman Chase Utley […]
While in Boston on Tuesday, I noticed Cliff Lee wearing his batting practice hat while he was warming up in the bullpen. "Oh, I guess he actually is putting it on for the pregame", I said to myself. But when Lee took the mound after the Phillies batted, he was still wearing it. And […]
Like what appeared to be thousands of others, I made the trip up to Boston for this two game series against the Red Sox. I would say I try to hit about three opposing ballparks a year most seasons, along with a Spring Training trip. One thing was obviously missing this time around: the excitement […]
Five years is a long time. Yet, the Phillies are holding on to too many players from their 2008 World Series run and hoping for similar results. The team had many players in their prime. Five years later we see that late 20s is not approaching-late 30s. Players lose their former glory […]
Phillies fans will be disappointed next week when the Phillies take on the Boston Red Sox. Former Phillies outfielder and current member of the Red Sox Shane Victorino has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained hamstring. The depleted Red Sox are now without third baseman Will Middlebrooks, Victorino, and closer […]

The Phillies officially added right-handed reliever Mike Stutes to the Phillies active roster. The move comes one day after the team sent reliever Phillippe Aumont to AAA Lehigh Valley. Many speculated that it would be Stutes, coming off a hot streat at Lehigh Valley. Stutes had given up just one run in his last 10 […]
