David Herndon
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of Philly.com Last night's Phillies game was an all-out disaster. Even though starter Roy Halladay struggled, he did not pitch so poorly that the Phillies should have had a chance. Granted, the Phillies should have scored some runs, but only down 4-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, there […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Last night's loss was a tough one. Mostly because losing to the Mets ever is just not fun. Of course, we didn't expect to win every game, did we? Even the best teams will lose 60-70 games. There are two questions we should consider, with respect to Charlie Manuel's performance last […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Courtesy espn.com October 26th, 2010 was a good day. Though the pain of the NLCS defeat was still only days old, and a potential Cliff Lee Return was still inconceivable, the Phillies made a wise move that day. They declined the $4.5 MM option on reliever J.C. Romero's contract, presumably cutting […]
This afternoon, the Minnesota Twins declined the $6 million club-option for right-handed relief pitcher Matt Capps (2012: 1-4, 3.68 ERA). Capps spent time on the DL twice this season due to right shoulder inflammation while recording 14 saves in 15 opportunities in 30 games in 2012. Over his eight-year career, Capps has recorded 138 career saves. His […]
We knew the Phillies would have some roster decisions to make, and today the Phillies lost yet another pitcher trying to create a roster spot. According to Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, right-handed reliever David Herndon has been claimed off of waviers by the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the second pitcher the Blue Jays […]
Great, even more bad news. According to Todd Zolecki, Phillies' right hander David Herndon could be headed towards Tommy John Surgery. Herndon, who is 0-1 with a 4.70 ERA in five games this season, could be out for a full year or even more.Herndon is signed through 2012 so if he does indeed go through Tommy John Surgery, […]
Party like it's 2007! The Phillies lost reliever David Herndon to the disabled list with an elbow issue, so the Phillies caleld up right-hander Brian Sanches. Yes, Sanches was part of the Phillies first division championship team in this run and part of the team that used a ridiculous 28 pitchers to get through the […]
Kyle Kendrick piched very well this afternoon against the Chicago Cubs, coming back from a horrid three-inning outing in Arizona last Monday in which he allowed seven earned runs on 11 hits, walking one and striking out one. This afternoon he allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits, striking out seven and walking one […]
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 […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Even without All-Stars Chase Utley and Ryan Howard available, the Phillies are still a formidable team, and a playoff contender. Their starting rotation may very well be the best in the National League. Their bullpen is more than serviceable, their defense is above average, and Messrs. Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence are […]
