Posted by Mike Frohwirth With the Phillies likely to start the season with a seven-man bullpen, they have room for thirteen position players. The probable starting lineup appears to have already been determined: C Carlos Ruiz 1B Ryan Howard 2B Luis Castillo* SS Jimmy Rollins 3B Placido Polanco LF Raul Ibanez CF Shane Victorino RF […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Today, the Phillies and Rays played at Bright House Networks Field, while the split-squad team played the Tigers at Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland. Cliff Lee and Kyle Kendrick started these games. Against the Tampa Bay Rays, Cliff Lee did not fail to impress during his 4 inning outing. Cliff allowed […]
Like what appeared to be thousands of others, I made the trip up to Boston for this two game series against the Red Sox. I would say I try to hit about three opposing ballparks a year most seasons, along with a Spring Training trip. One thing was obviously missing this time around: the excitement […]
Well, this was one hell of a ballgame. After last night's ninth inning victory over the Mets, tonight's game (a makeup of Tuesday night's washout) which was started by Tyler Cloyd, was entertaining from the get-go. In the top of the first inning, the Phillies scored eight runs. Yes, eight. Here's how it all went […]
A change of scenery and a new mission: Chase the St. Louis Cardinals. Entering tonight's game in Houston, the Phillies were three games back in the second wildcard. So, a four-game series against the Astros sounds like the perfect time to gain some ground, right? The Phillies got the ball rolling in the second inning […]
The Phillies were looking to brush off last night's tough walk-off loss that Chipper Jones and the Braves served up. It wasn't a happy flight to Cincinnati, but that wouldn't stop the Phils from fighting this afternoon. Tyler Cloyd in his second major league start looked magnificent this afternoon. Through seven innings, he allowed just […]
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 […]
David Herndon had Tommy John Surgery this afternoon. Freddy Galvis was suspended 50 games after testing positive for PED's. Laynce Nix suffered a set-back thanks to a strained left calf today. Michael Stutes needs surgery on his shoulder to figure out what's wrong. Needless to say, this win tonight was much needed with all of […]
Well, this wasn't much of a step-up from last night to say the least. In what was one of the most painful games to watch, the Twins crushed the Phils' bullpen last night, taking game one 11-7. The Phillies were looking to even the series tonight with Cole Hamels on the mound and Placido Polanco […]
Wearing one of the better-looking Stars and Stripes collection hats in a long time, the Phillies headed up to Shea Stadium in New York and got back into the winning spirit. Phillies fans must be aware that a Shake Shack is opening in Philadelphia and so therefore had no need to go to Citi […]
