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 Stephen Gallo courtesy cbsphilly.com The Phillies bats certainly got off to a hot start this season. They scored over five runs in five of their first six games. This came as a surprise to the Phillies faithful, who expected the offense to take a major hit with the injury to Chase Utley […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Joe Blanton is not exactly off to a great start. In Tuesday night's 7-4 loss to the Nationals, Blanton allowed five runs, in six innings. His ERA is an unsightly 10.45. But after two starts, it's too early to worry about the veteran northpaw. A .429 BABIP (league average BABIP is~.300), […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Today, the Phillies and Rays played at Bright House Networks Field, while the split-squad team played the Tigers at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland. Cliff Lee and Kyle Kendrick started these games. Against the Tampa Bay Rays, Cliff Lee did not fail to impress during his 4 inning outing. Cliff allowed […]

Zolecki also notes that Utley is working out here today, tomorrow he will go play for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and will be back in Philly […]
Cole Hamels and David Price squared off this afternoon in the first game of a double-header. Friday's game was washed out, pushing a game back to 6:35 tonight, and starting this game 30 minutes early. It was a scoreless battle between the Phils and Rays until the sixth inning when Jimmy Rollins jacked a solo […]
In the rubber match of this Marlins-Phillies series, big Joe took the mound against big Z, Carlos Zambrano. Blanton was looking to redeem himself from his past couple of starts in which he was lit up. He is 4-5 this year with a 5.05 ERA. Zambrano is 3-3 this year with a 3.00 ERA. Miami […]
Joe Blanton took the hill at Citi Field tonight against Jeremy Hefner, who was making his second major league start. After two straight rough outings from Joe, it wouldn't get easier in another frustrating game. The Phillies jumped out in front scoring a run in the first on a wild pitch. The Mets came back […]
Former Cincinnati Red Edinson Volquez took the mound tonight for the Padres against Cole Hamels who has been victorious in recent years in San Diego, his home town. Carlos Ruiz was out of the lineup and will be for the next couple of days with a swollen wrist. A run wouldn't score in this game […]
Ugly, ugly, ugly. No, not the Mets. The Phillies' offense and pitching. Vance Worley started his second game of the season this evening against Jonathon Niese and the Mets in this three-game series. After last night's loss, the Phillies were looking to turn it around and come back to .500 tonight. Third baseman David Wright […]
