Freddy Galvis
Well this just ruined my weekend. According to numerous sources, Phillies second baseman Freddy Galvis could possibly have a Pars Fracture in his back. Galvis, who was put on the 15-day DL with a lower back strain, could possibly be in a back brace for at least 6 weeks before beginning rehab. A Pars Fracture […]
If there is anything I'm afraid of with this team, it's losing Cole Hamels (8-2, 2.81 ERA). Hamels hasbeen my favorite Phillie since he came up from the minors. The thought of him pitching in another uniform makes me cringe and today he'll be taking on the Los Angeles Dodgers. A team who is rumored […]
Fans loved his bat. Freddy's body, however did not like his one at bat last night in the fifth inning as he strained his lower back on a swing. Mike Fontenot replaced Galvis on a 3-2 count and walked. The Phillies placed Galvis on the 15-day disabled list today. Michael Martinez will be called up […]
This is getting painful. The Phillies can't score runs when they need to, and boy did they need to tonight. Kyle Kendrick would get the start tonight against Chris Capuano, hoping to bring the first win of this series. Shane Victorino kicked off the second inning with a solo home run to left field (remind […]
The Phillies welcomed Los Angeles to Citizens Bank Park with a soggy game one of a four-game series this evening. Vance Worley was limited to 75 pitches in his first start back from the DL with a sore elbow. He will pitch the remainder of the season with a bone chip, but that didn't […]
It's all about Kyle Rodney Kendrick. Kyle pitched an absolute gem of a ball game tonight, shutting out the Cardinals in a complete game effort. By a show of hands, who guessed Kyle would have more wins by May 26th than Cliff Lee? If your hand is up, put it back down, you're a filthy […]
Well last night was pretty crazy. Despite the bad pitching and near-lead blowing outings, the Phillies still managed to rack 10 runs on a season-high 18 hits in their 10-9 win over St. Louis last night. Taking game one of this four-game set doesn't really say a lot, but hey the Phils are back at […]
Well, you probably heard the news yesterday: Chase Utley worked out in left-field. Let me translate that for you in several ways: The Phillies are very content with Freddy Galvis and their future at second base. Domonic Brown is in peril with this team. Chase is (possibly) accepting reality about his future in this game. We've […]
The Phillies traveled to St. Louis last night for a four-game series at the Cardinals. Obviously, the Cards and Phils' first meeting of the season will bring back a few painful memories from last season's NLDS in which the Cards came out on top, and were eventual World Series Champions. Joe Blanton and Jake Westbrook […]
Left field is better than the bench Many moons ago, back on April 25, our very own beloved blogger who hardly writes anything Steve Gallo, wrote that a good fit for the Phillies would be Chase Utley in left field. Today, guess what Dave Murphy of the Daily News wrote? Turns out, despite my previous […]
