Cliff Lee's win total this season: 0. Cliff Lee's win total after today's game: Still 0. Cliff has had multiple quality starts this season before and after his trip to the disabled list, but he has not been given very much run support to work with. Unfortunately, Cliff didn't have his best stuff today against […]
Let's face the facts: Phillies fans are bored. They're not just bored: they see the team's approach to the game and are not excited in the absolute least. See the above picture. When in the last five years did Phillies fans think the team had absolutely no chance to come back from down […]
Joe Blanton brought the business tonight against the Mets, much like he did in Atlanta last Thursday when he pitched an 88-pitch complete game shutout. The Phillies were able to score runs tonight off of Miguel Batista, which they failed to do (for the most part) last night to give Roy Halladay a win. Doc […]
We all wanted to forget about yesterday's excruciatingly painful loss to the Cubs in which the Phillies were held to two hits. Well, this game was definitely another crazy one, only the Phillies offense would jump out in front at the start and the close. Chris Volstad started tonight's game for the Cubs in his […]
After last night's win thanks to a breakout of the offense, the Phillies were looking to take this series from the Diamondbacks, their last game on this west coast trip. Cole Hamels took the mound this afternoon against Trevor Cahill, the former Athletics starter. The Phils would jump ahead early once more thanks to an […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Even without All-Stars Chase Utley and Ryan Howard available, the Phillies are still a formidable team, and a playoff contender. Their starting rotation may very well be the best in the National League. Their bullpen is more than serviceable, their defense is above average, and Messrs. Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence are […]
Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew Ah, finally, the last game of spring training. It certainly didn't feel like spring at Citizens Bank Park on this chilly evening. But, the buzz of baseball in the air is sure to warm your heart. Much the same of last night's game in this on-deck exhibition series, the fans were able to […]
Posted by Erik Seybold Courtesy mlblogs.com The Phillies have finally added some infield depth to their organization. This afternoon, they signed seven-year veteran Joe Thurston to a minor-league deal. With the absences of Chase Utley, Ryan Howard, and now Michael Martinez (broken foot), the Phillies have little to none depth in their infield. The 32 […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy zimbio.com Ross Gload is hurting. In today's Phillies Zone blog post by the Inquirer's Matt Gelb, he lays it out: This much we know: Ross Gload does not think a stint on the disabled list will help his fraying hip. It's either season-ending surgery or play through the muscle tear. […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth Shane Victorino looking dapper at the Grammy Awards. As starting centerfielder Shane Victorino approaches his return to the Phillies, a difficult roster decision lies ahead. Which player do the Phils remove from the active roster, to open a spot for Victorino? The Phillies could option a reliever to AAA, and go […]
