(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies finally won their first series of the season. Last night, Joe Blanton was spectacular through 7 innings, allowing just 3 hits and one earned run. Blanton was backed by home runs from Shane Victorino and Ty Wigginton to beat the Marlins, 3-1 and take the series 2-1. Tonight, the New York Mets […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) After last night's offensive outbreak in a 7-1 win over the Marlins, the Phillies are looking to take the series tonight as Joe Blanton (0-1, 13.50 ERA) makes his first start of the season. The Phillies skipped over Blanton the first time through the rotation, deciding to go Halladay, Lee, Worley, Hamels, and […]
This weekend wasn't delightful. Coming out of Pittsburgh with a 1-2 record and just six total runs scored over three games, things don't look so bright out of the gate. The offense is slumpish, but the rotation is gleaming. But it's only April 9th and there's still a long way to go. Don't be worried […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Happy Easter, everybody! I hope the Easter Bunny brought you all of the eggs and chocolates you wanted, but what I want from him is a Phillies win. I know it sounds corny, but hey I have to brighten the mood somehow. Anyway, today's game is the first series finale of the […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Cliff Lee was being squeezed tonight, no doubt about that. In his first start of the 2012 season, the Pirates were really testing him by taking tons of pitches, and having the strikezone to their advantage. The only change the Phillies made in their lineup tonight was putting Laynce Nix at first base […]
Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies started off the season on the right foot with their 1-0 win Thursday, but there are still 161 games left to play. Roy Halladay was outstanding as usual in his Opening Day start. He toyed with the Pirates batters the whole day, allowing just two hits (both in the first inning) […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Just last month, the Phillies had 40 men competing for a spot on the 25-man Opening Day roster. After last night's final decisions, the Opening Day roster is set and it's looking a bit blank with the absences of Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. Although the Phillies will start the season with […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Happy last day of spring training! And what a great last day it was for starter Cliff Lee and the Phillies' offense. In the beginning/middle of the game, anyway. On this Sunday afternoon, the last game of spring training for this Philadelphia team was played against the Atlanta Braves at the […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. (Photo courtesy of Lindsey Crew)So the Phillies lost their last home game of Spring yesterday. Not the best note to leave Clearwater with, but there is still one last game to be played. The Phillies will head up to Lake Buena Vista to play the Braves at Champion Stadium. It's been a […]
Posted by Erik Seybold The Phillies got back on the winning track this afternoon, taking a 5-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies will play the Pirates five games in a row next week. Two for the On-Deck Series at Citizens Bank Park, and three for season Opener in Pittsburgh. Today, Cliff Lee was […]
