Michael Schwimer
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy baseball.dailyskew.com The Phillies' bullpen picture became a little blurrier this evening when J.C. Romero left the game clutching his calf in the 7th inning of the Phillies loss to the Brewers Monday night. David Hale of the Wilmington News Journal reported Tuesday morning that Romero will likely hit the disabled […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Danielle Wilson Per multiple sources, it has been confirmed that relief pitcher Michael Schwimer has been traded to the Toronto Blue Jays for minor league first baseman Art Charles. Schwimer, scheduled to pitch in today's spring training game against the Astros, packed his bag after the game upon hearing the news. Art Charles, drafted […]
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 […]
A sellout crowd, the first since the streak ended, watched as Cliff Lee went for his first win at home of the season. Cliff was dealing through the first few innings, but a downpour of rain and Cardinals offense would slow his rhythm and ruin his chances of that win. The Phillies were making some […]
Some nights you have it, some nights you don't. Ben Sheets of the Atlanta Braves had it tonight, while Vance Worley had anything but "it." Tonight also marked the end of the 257 consecutive sellouts streak, 273 including the postseasons. Interesting, no? Worley tonight lasted just 3 & 2/3 innings allowing four earned runs on […]
Merry Christmas in July, everyone! Cole Hamels' fresh six-year contract extension was a pretty sweet gift, but how about a sweep? The Phils sent the Vanimal, Vance Worley to the mound to silence the Brewers and go for the first series sweep of the year. Martin Maldonado would bring home the first run of the […]
Danielle Wilson/Philliedelphia This didn't look promising from the sixth inning on, but another burst of offense would lead the Phillies to another comeback win, as crazy as it sounds. Another rough start to tonight's game led the Brewers to scoring the first run. This happened in the top of the first when Corey Hart singled […]
Roy Halladay returned to Citizens Bank Park for the first time since coming off the disabled list during the Dodgers series. He would face Randy Wolf and the Milwaukee Brewers. It didn't start out on a good note for Doc. In the first inning, Carlos Gomez was able to score on a double from Aramis […]
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 […]
Image courtesy of Matt Sautter Welcome to the second half of the 2012 MLB season. Typically, the Phillies are a much better team during the second half than in the first half. They didn't look like it tonight in Colorado. After a four-day break for the All-Star Game and its festivities, Cliff Lee was looking […]
