The Phillies and Braves opened up a three-game series tonight in Philadelphia. This series will be the last time Braves third baseman Chipper Jones sees Philadelphia in his final season of major league baseball. So what better way to congratulate Chipper on a Hall of Fame career than with a smattering of boos, a few […]
Cole Hamels continued his red-hot season tonight at Citi Field, recording double-digit strikeouts in an outstanding effort which he would later receive the no-decision for. The offense showed up a little late tonight, long after Mets' starter Matt Harvey left the ballgame. Jimmy Rollins started off this ballgame against Matt Harvey doing what he does […]
When the Phillies have a weekend pitching staff of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels, you know it's bound to be a winning series, or maybe a sweep against the Atlanta Braves. All started out swiftly for the Phils. Ryan Howard put up the game's first run in the top of the second with […]
As previously posted, Tyler Cloyd was making his major league debut tonight. In an unexpected spot start for the young righty, the Phillies were sure glad he tossed a solid six innigs to avoid a bullpen game. Matt Harvey, a rookie starter for the Mets surrendered a run in the top of the first, a […]
For a team that's 19.5 games back of their weekend adversary, they sure didn't play like it. Kyle Kendrick has left us Phillies fans speechless lately. In his last two starts against Miami and Milwaukee, Kyle went at least seven innings, giving up no more than five hits, and he did not allow a run […]
We knew Jeremy Horst would only be gone a little while. But we did not necessarily expect this outcome. Today the Phillies reactivated Horst from the paternity list and sent RHP Michael Schwimer to AAA Lehigh Valley. Schwimer has given up five runs in 2 2/3 innings after a strong stretch where he had […]
If it didn't sink in during last night's game, it definitely sunk in tonight: This is a new era of Phillies baseball in the outfield. Nate Schierholtz and Domonic Brown started tonight (Brown in LF) with John Mayberry, Jr. in center. As much as it hurts to say this, Shane and Hunter are an […]
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 […]
Roy Halladay made his return to baseball tonight after missing 42 days total with his latissimus dorsi strain. He did so against Stephen Fife, a 25-year-old making his major league debut for the sidelined Chad Billingsley. Much like they've been doing more of recently, the Phillies scored first. Jimmy Rollins scored in the top of […]
Brutal, brutal, brutal. The season continues to go down south for Cliff Lee, who entered this game with zero wins and left with the same amount. It's not about the offense bailing him out, that hasn't been an issue as of late. This is now about Cliff Lee giving up way too many runs, which […]
