Raul Valdes
The struggles continued tonight for Phillies starting pitching and the team in general. It's getting more and more frustrating to say the least, and it hasn't been a fun ride over the past week with the Phillies losing more and more games. I know I typically write out a game story, but this would have […]
Brutal, brutal, brutal. The season continues to go down south for Cliff Lee, who entered this game with zero wins and left with the same amount. It's not about the offense bailing him out, that hasn't been an issue as of late. This is now about Cliff Lee giving up way too many runs, which […]
There is no sweeter sight than seeing one of Philadelphia's most beloved athletes return to the field for the first time all season. Chase Utley returned tonight in what the fans knew might be a terrible game for Phillies pitching. Raul Valdes was tonight's spot starter in what would be one interesting ballgame. Your browser […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Frank Klose The Phillies are looking to take this four-game set tonight as they look to win their third straight game. The Phils' offense has been heating up during the end of this homestand, especially behind the bats of Jimmy Rollins and Carlos Ruiz. Tonight's starter for the Phillies will be Raul Valdes. […]
This is getting painful. The Phillies can't score runs when they need to, and boy did they need to tonight. Kyle Kendrick would get the start tonight against Chris Capuano, hoping to bring the first win of this series. Shane Victorino kicked off the second inning with a solo home run to left field (remind […]
Cole Hamels took the mound this evening looking for his ninth win, which would lead the majors. After allowing five runs for the first time since last July, he would take the loss after the Phillies' offense failed to come from behind. After a quick 12-pitch inning from Hamels, Carlos Ruiz (who else?) put up […]
Joe Blanton took the hill at Citi Field tonight against Jeremy Hefner, who was making his second major league start. After two straight rough outings from Joe, it wouldn't get easier in another frustrating game. The Phillies jumped out in front scoring a run in the first on a wild pitch. The Mets came back […]
Today is May 25th and Cliff Lee does not have a win under his belt this season. Since he came back from the disabled list on May 10, Phillies fans have been patiently waiting for him to pick up a win. The fans are tired of waiting, and so is Cliff. A frustrating outing would […]
Kyle Kendrick took the mound in Chicago tonight in place of Vance Worley, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list today with elbow soreness. This might sound like a trainwreck waiting to happen, but Kyle pitched surprisingly well considering he started on short notice. The Phillies' offense was downright incredible tonight, including a surprising […]
