Posted by Stephen Gallo courtesy cbsphilly.com The Phillies bats certainly got off to a hot start this season. They scored over five runs in five of their first six games. This came as a surprise to the Phillies faithful, who expected the offense to take a major hit with the injury to Chase Utley […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Joe Blanton is not exactly off to a great start. In Tuesday night's 7-4 loss to the Nationals, Blanton allowed five runs, in six innings. His ERA is an unsightly 10.45. But after two starts, it's too early to worry about the veteran northpaw. A .429 BABIP (league average BABIP is~.300), […]

Courtesy prorumors.com Ruben, I just wanted to drop you a note to congratulate you on a strong offseason. You did a really great job this year. Signing Cliff Lee? Amazing. I don't […]

Raul Valdes is making a very strong case this spring to be a long-man in the bullpen this season for the Phillies. In his last outing, Valdes tossed three scoreless innings. He did just that again to start this ballgame allowing just three hits and striking out one. The Phillies put up the first runs […]
(Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) All was quiet this afternoon in Clearwater due to some stellar pitching from the Phils. Aaron Cook got the start against the Pirates today and pitched three scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, walking one, and striking out one. Rodrigo Lopez pitched a scoreless fourth and fifth inning giving up three hits and […]

The first official spring training game started this afternoon in Clearwater with Cole Hamels on the mound against Lucas Harrell and the Astros. Cole pitched a solid two innings today allowing just one hit, walking none, and striking out one. […]
The Phillies and Marlins aren't going anywhere after this series. For the Marlins, that's been obvious since August. For the Phillies, that was settled last night after their 2-1 loss to Miami last night which knocked them out of the playoff race. Their chances are over, this is pointless baseball from here on out. To […]
