Nearly 24 hours after Roy Halladay took the microphone at his Clearwater press conference, Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard took to the reporters to discuss his offseason and his preparations for the 2013 season. Howard, who missed the first half of the season last year with a ruptured left Achille's tendon in Game 5 of […]
Roy Halladay suffered one of his worst seasons of his career in 2012. His positive 11-8 record was dampered by a 4.49 ERA and a month and a half-long stint on the DL. Halladay missed time last season from May 29th -July 17th with a strained latissimus dorsi muscle. During that time, the Phillies as a team went […]
According to an article written by CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel feels no threat with the new promotion of Ryne Sandberg. The hall of famer Sandberg was appointed to the third base coaching position for the big league club this morning following the Phillies' house cleaning within the coaching staff. With Charlie […]
The Phillies have continued to make their offseason moves early on into the offseason. Two days to be precise. A day removed from firing three members of their coaching staff, the Phillies have two new additions to their unit for the 2013 campaign. This morning, the Phillies announced that Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPig head coach […]
The Phillies are clearing house in the coaching department. Just an hour after first base coach Sam Perlozzo was fired, Todd Zolecki reported that bench coach Pete Mackanin and hitting coach Greg Gross have been fired. After an 81-81 record to finish the 2012 season, the Phillies front office are looking to re-vamp the coaching […]

Today on "Power Alley" with Jim Duquette and Mike Ferrin, Phillies manager Charlie Manuel was a guest. In the interview, the hosts asked Manuel about whether or not the Phillies could play Chase Utley at third base sometime before the season ends. Manual is willing to play Utley at third base right now. However, the […]
Last night, the Phils dropped their first game in over a week, snapping a seven-game win streak, and propelling them back four games in the Wild Card race. In the early goings, it looked like the Phillies victory: a four-run lead against a pathetically weak offense in the Astros. Nope. The Astros would slowly come […]
You go to work every day, and you work hard. You try to do your best. Do you always have the same effort level? Every minute of every day? Yesterday, 97.5 in Philly, on their digital billboards, called out Jimmy Rollins for his perceived lack of effort running to first on a ground ball where […]
Last night was just another example of the 2012 Phillies. Poor play, no drive to play for win and the inability to hit with runners in scoring position. Vance Worley allowed four earned runs on six hits through 3 2/3 innings, but left early with what was later diagnosed by Charlie Manuel as "stomach issues". […]
