After last night's loss, the Phillies send the struggling yet well rested Cole Hamels to the mound to face Pittsburgh's top prospect Gerrit Cole. We all know of Hamels' woes right now. I am not a W/L guy and don't even feel it's something that should show up in a pitcher's record but when your […]
John Lannan was in and out of trouble for four innings tonight as the Phillies held on to a one run lead that was driven in by Ben Revere. In the 5th, the Pirates finally got to him with a three run blast from Pedro Alvarez. And while they made some noise in the top […]
Per Twitter, one of baseball's modern legends (and former Phillie) Jim Thome has been hired by Chicago White Sox GM Rick Hahn as a special assistant. Thome spent three and a half seasons with the White Sox after being traded there in 2006 for Aaron Rowand and Gio Gonzalez (not a bad trade as history […]
John Lannan had a rough outing last time out. He gets a shot at redemption vs. a hot Dodgers line up which is being fueled by extremely hot rookie, Yusiel Puig. Not since the days of Vladimir Guerrero have a seen a hitter who seemed like he could hit just about anything. It's a really […]
Per a statement on 97.5 The Fanatic, former Phillies catcher Darren Daulton has been diagnosed with two brain tumors and is to have surgery next week to remove them. Dutch of course is credited with being the team leader of the 1993 team and found a home on the Wall of Fame in 2010. Since […]

It's long been a great event that showcases some of the best prospects in the game. Biddle (ranked by many as the number […]
It was announced a short while ago that the Phillies signed veteran reliever Mike MacDougal. His numbers of late suggest he was strictly signed up to bolster the Iron Pigs bullpen in Lehigh Valley which is stocked kind of light seeing as most of them are in San Diego as major leaguers right now.

Two men continued their impressive 2013 campaigns. Kyle Kendrick dialed up another quality start and Domonic Brown was pretty much the offense tonight, driving in three runs. The rest of the team looked as they have all season. Streaky. Brown got to Gorzelanny early with a home run but Jean Segura would tie it up […]
