Posted by Danielle Wilson The first game of a four-game series in San Diego kicked off with a 3-0 win for the Phillies. Saying Roy Oswalt pitched well is a complete understatement. He tossed a no-hitter through four innings, but only lasted six due to a high pitch count. His line: one hit, two walks, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson I am a Shane maniac and have come to terms with this. The following is a recap of all things Shane in the past two weeks. Considering the fact that we already learned so much about this man in the first post, why not skip the details […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Cole Hamels took the mound for the Phillies tonight in the place of his birth, which explains why he's so comfortable pitching and hitting there, I suppose. In the third inning, Cole singled but was somehow picked off while trying to steal. Victorino and Polanco both drew walks, and advanced on a wild pitch on […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson As Chris Wheeler would say, the first inning for the Phillies was a "doozy". It only took eight pitches for Padres starter Tim Stauffer to retire the side, and I wish I could say the same for Joe Blanton. Big Joe allowed his obligatory first run to score on an RBI […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the final game of this four-game series in San Diego, Roy Halladay took the mound against Wade "don't call me Matt" LeBlanc. This game appeared to be a pitcher's duel through the first five innings; LeBlanc only allowed two hits, and struck out two, while Doc only allowed two hits, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of Gcobb.com Jose Contreras has not pitched in the last three games, and it has been reported that he's suffering a right flexor pronator strain, which has sent him to the DL. He will fly back to Philly to have an MRI done tomorrow, but in the meantime, 24-year-old righty Michael […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of web.minorleaguebaseball.com The heading says it all, 25-year-old right-handed pitcher Jordan Ellis has been promoted from single A Clearwater to double A Reading. He was drafted in the 28th round of the 2008 Amateur draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. This season, he has appeared in six games, and in that span, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Two words: pitcher's duel. That is exactly what this game was tonight for the first five innings which went by extraordinarily fast. Nationals starter Jordan Zimmerman pitched five perfect innings, and in five innings for Cliff Lee, he allowed just two hits; a double to Danny Espinosa in the third, and […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Roy Halladay's stats against the Nationals in 2010: 3-0, 23 IP, 16 hits, 1 earned run, 20 strikeouts. Holy wow, this should be fun tonight. Shane Victorino led it off with a double (what else?) and made a genius play moments later when Polanco almost grounded into a double play, but Shane […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson On Saturday, Logan Morrison of the Marlins headed over to Carl's Card Shop of Havertown, Pennsylvania to meet his fans, sign some baseballs, and raise money for the American Association of Lung Cancer which supports finding a cure for the disease, which his father suffered and passed away from this past winter. Details […]
