The Phillies were able to prevent a series loss to the Cardinals yesterday as they came back from a 7-4 deficit in the 8th inning with Erik Kratz's three-run home run and came back to win it 8-7 in the 11th inning with a walkoff single from Juan Pierre. Closing out a nine-game homestand with […]
On October 7, 2011 the Philadelphia Phillies played in what could be their final "golden era" game. Best friends Chris Carpenter and Roy Halladay squared off in an epic Game 5 of the NLDS in an effort to push their teams to the next stage of the postseason. Carpenter was able to fend off Halladay […]
Cole Hamels was completely dominant last night as he shut out the Braves for his first complete game shut out since Game 3 of the 2010 NLDS. Hamels earned his 12th win of the year as he allowed just five hits while striking out six. Hamels evened up the series with the Braves at one-a-peice […]
Fantastic. Outstanding. Spectacular. Masterful. Anyway you want to say it, Cole Hamels was all of that and beyond tonight against Mike Minor and the Braves. The three runs the Phillies scored tonight would be enough for Cole who shut out Atlanta in a complete game effort. The runs would come in the first inning, and […]
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". […]
I always say the best way to turn a losing streak around is to trade 2/3 of your outfield. The home team has certainly shown up the past two games and they send Cole Hamels to the mound tonight to complete the sweep. I really want this one, myself. The Nationals got under my skin […]
Yep. You read that right. This game is one of two pontential games that can and will decide if the Phillies will continue to play for a playoff spot – or – if they will sell house by Tuesday. Ruben Amaro Jr. said yesterday that "'If we get swept here it will be daunting. The […]
Cole Hamels made his first start tonight since signing his six-year contract extension. He's coming off a loss against the Giants in which he allowed five runs on ten hits. This wouldn't be a much better start in Atlanta. The Phillies scored first off of Ben Sheets. Sheets has made two starts this season […]
Ruben Amaro Jr. appeared on "Inside Pitch" with Jim Bowden and Casey Stern on MLB Network Radio this afternoon and offered insights. Bowden asked Amaro pretty much everything that is on Phillies fans' minds, including Hunter Pence, Cliff Lee, Jimmy Rollins, and the Phillies' putrid bullpen. Bowden asked, "Will the signing of Cole Hamels force […]
In three-straight games the Phillies have come back from a deficit to win the game. On Sunday against the Giants and Monday against the Brewers, the Phils ended the game in walk-off fashion. Last night was a bit different. The Phillies trailed 6-1 headed into the eighth inning. Cliff Lee was horrible last night, allowing […]
