View image | gettyimages.com In what was possibly his final start of the 2015 season, Aaron Nola continued to show the poise of a future star. He worked around two difficult jams and held the Nationals off the board through five innings. But Stephen Strasburg was better, and nearly held the Phillies completely off […]
View image | gettyimages.com Trailing in a one-run game, the Phillies opted to bring in Jake Diekman to face Bryce Harper with two outs and a runner on third.

While allowing two hits over six innings of scoreless ball, striking out five and walking two, Gonzalez also added a home run himself in the 3-0 […]
If this is how the Nationals are going to play in the postseason, then the rest of the National League playoff contenders better watch out. The Phillies fell victim again to the Nats tonight in the final home game of the 2012 season. The Phils may be looking powerful as of late, but they were […]
The 83rd annual All-Star Game brought about quite an impressive array of the league's best starting pitchers and power hitters. Our Philadelphia Phillies sent out three of their top guys to Kansas City: Catcher Carlos Ruiz, starting pitcher Cole Hamels, and closer Jonathan Papelbon. All of these men took the field (or mound) tonight against […]
