Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew The first time Roy Halladay and Josh Johnson faced off on the mound was May 29, 2010. Roy Halladay threw the 20th perfect game in MLB history against the then-Florida Marlins. Two match ups have followed resulting in two Marlin wins. On June 10, 2010, 12 days after the perfect game, Halladay and Johnson […]
This weekend wasn't delightful. Coming out of Pittsburgh with a 1-2 record and just six total runs scored over three games, things don't look so bright out of the gate. The offense is slumpish, but the rotation is gleaming. But it's only April 9th and there's still a long way to go. Don't be worried […]
Well, the first series didn't go exactly as planned for the Phillies, but history tells us that the Phillies generally don't do well against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. So, after going 1-2 to start, the Phillies are hoping for a little home cooking. The new-look Miami Marlins come into town off a deflating defeat. After […]
I just wanted to share a few pictures I took at last night's game in Pittsburgh. I gotta say the atmosphere was amazing. The Phillies fans filled PNC Park last night, and the Pirates fans played along nicely. I was sitting near a group of Pittsburgh fans that were starting "Lets go Bucs" chants to […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Happy Easter, everybody! I hope the Easter Bunny brought you all of the eggs and chocolates you wanted, but what I want from him is a Phillies win. I know it sounds corny, but hey I have to brighten the mood somehow. Anyway, today's game is the first series finale of the […]
(Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) Cliff Lee was being squeezed tonight, no doubt about that. In his first start of the 2012 season, the Pirates were really testing him by taking tons of pitches, and having the strikezone to their advantage. The only change the Phillies made in their lineup tonight was putting Laynce Nix at first base […]
Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies started off the season on the right foot with their 1-0 win Thursday, but there are still 161 games left to play. Roy Halladay was outstanding as usual in his Opening Day start. He toyed with the Pirates batters the whole day, allowing just two hits (both in the first inning) […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Just last month, the Phillies had 40 men competing for a spot on the 25-man Opening Day roster. After last night's final decisions, the Opening Day roster is set and it's looking a bit blank with the absences of Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. Although the Phillies will start the season with […]
Posted by Erik Seybold. (Photo courtesy of Lindsey Crew)So the Phillies lost their last home game of Spring yesterday. Not the best note to leave Clearwater with, but there is still one last game to be played. The Phillies will head up to Lake Buena Vista to play the Braves at Champion Stadium. It's been a […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the final Friday game of spring training and the first night game for the Phillies this spring, left-handed relief pitcher Antonio Bastardo took the hill in Tampa against Michael Pineda for the Yankees. Pineda struggled early allowing three straight singles to Juan Pierre, Shane Victorino, and Jimmy Rollins. Juan Pierre […]
