It took until the seventh inning for the Phillies to get one the board and erase a lead-off home run by the Nationals. But when the Phillies struck in the seventh, they made it count. A four-run seventh by the Phillies turned […]
View image | gettyimages.com As the starting pitchers have gone, so have the Phillies (1-2). David Buchanan joined Cole Hamels on Thursday night in first-start struggles, allowing six runs in the third inning allowing the Boston Red Sox to claim the series. Jerome Williams makes his first impression on the 2015 season Friday night. […]
Cliff Lee led the Phillies to a series opening win in Los Angeles to help even up the road trip and get the Phils off on the right foot in their new series. Once again, the Phillies (9-10) have a chance to reach that elusive .500 mark. The Los Angeles Dodgers (12-8) look to bounce back from a tough […]
Michael Young hit the bereavement list to tend to his son, dealing with an undisclosed ailment and the Phillies turned to the one player generally regarded as most ready at AAA: Cesar Hernandez. After an impressive few days, the Phillies opted to option Michael Martinez to the minor leagues upon Young's return. Logic would have […]
I've been a 17 game season ticket holder for the Phillies since 1991, so I've seen plenty of bad baseball. There were the Fregosi years that weren't 1993, the Francona years, and even parts of the Bowa years, where you wanted to hit your head off the wall after watching the team. Fregosi did give […]
After a three-game sweep from the Cincinnati Reds, the Phillies started a blank slate tonight at Citizens Bank Park against the Cardinals. Cole Hamels and Adam Wainwright squared off tonight. The Cardinals jumped ahead to a 2-0 lead in the top of the fourth after Yadier Molina doubled to score Matt Holliday and Allen Craig. […]
In the final game of this three-game series against the Marlins, Roy Halladay was able to settle down and dominate against Kevin Slowey and the Fish. The Phillies wouldn't put a run up on the board until the sixth inning when Ryan Howard doubled, and was brought home with an RBI single from Michael Young. […]
The Phillies were crushed yesterday, 13-4 at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. John Lannan was lit up for 12 earned runs on 14 hits through four innings in yesterday's ball game. Lannan's response to his horrific start? "Got my butt kicked, gotta move on." Great response and attitude. Given that it is […]
Happy Saint Patrick's Day to all! What started out as a disastrous outing for one Roy Halladay turned into an excellent game for the Phillies bullpen against the Baltimore Orioles. In one inning, Doc allowed one hit, walked one, and struck out one before heading into the clubhouse. It was announced shortly after that Doc […]
Raul Valdes is making a very strong case this spring to be a long-man in the bullpen this season for the Phillies. In his last outing, Valdes tossed three scoreless innings. He did just that again to start this ballgame allowing just three hits and striking out one. The Phillies put up the first runs […]
