Fox Sports wants to carry many more games than the occasional game like this past Saturday I am way late to the party compared to other blogs but I figured that this was a point worth addressing. The talk of a Phillies television deal reopened with a column from Yahoo's Jeff Passan. Our Matt Rappa […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose The turkey bacon commericals can continue to play: Erik Kratz is staying with the Phillies. The Phillies had to make a roster decision as to whether or not to keep Humberto Quintero on the roster and in the organization or let him go, perhaps forever. Ultimately, the Phillies decided to keep Kratz. […]
Turkey bacon or no turkey bacon? The Phillies need to make a roster move tonight to add currently-suspended Carlos Ruiz back to both the 40-man and active roster. Catcher Humberto Quintero makes yet another start today against the Mets. Today's lineup makes us wonder: could Erik Kratz be the catcher that heads to […]
Yeah, it's late on Thursday night. But I am off on Fridays and watching a rerun of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and perusing Twitter. Tonight I found a new Twitter account I really enjoy: Everybody vote for Delmon Young for the MLB all star game. #VoteForDelmon — VoteForDelmon (@VoteForDelmon) April 24, 2013 Yes, Delmon […]
We are often reminded… the definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing every time and expecting different results. With our beloved Phillies, we keep seeing the same scenarios play out over and over again with the same miserable results. Can we expect different results? As time goes on I believe that Phillies […]
Andrew McCutchen is one of baseball's most talented young players. Apparently he wants people to know it, too. After Wednesday's 5-3 defeat of the Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen was watching MLB Network, probably to admire himself, when he saw the Phillies-Pirates highlights. He was not happy with what he saw. He took to […]
Just a day after a brief injury scare, Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz will begin a "rehab" assignment starting Tuesday. "Rehab" may not be the best word choice, particularly after a suspension for taking not-approved drugs, but Ruiz will get the opportunity to get back into playing shape with five games of competitive action. Ruiz will […]
A quick update on Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz. On Friday, we learned that Carlos Ruiz was hit by a pitch in extended Spring Training down in Clearwater. It was not really news, because he had an x-ray and the results were good news as the x-ray showed no break. However, Ruiz must be in […]
The Phillies sure waited until the last minute to make a decision. The Phillies announced that Jonathan Pettibone will make his Major League Debut on Monday night, taking the rotation slot of the injured John Lannan. Pettibone has struggled in his first two starts in AAA Lehigh Valley so far this season. He is […]
The Phillies will finally be getting a key piece to their lineup back in the near future as Delmon Young is beginning his official rehab assignment. Young had been in Phillies extended Spring Training where he was able to play in game-like action, but not official games. Young will be able to play games […]
