Roy Halladay
Posted by Danielle Wilson In the final game of this four-game series in San Diego, Roy Halladay took the mound against Wade "don't call me Matt" LeBlanc. This game appeared to be a pitcher's duel through the first five innings; LeBlanc only allowed two hits, and struck out two, while Doc only allowed two hits, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Roy Halladay's stats against the Nationals in 2010: 3-0, 23 IP, 16 hits, 1 earned run, 20 strikeouts. Holy wow, this should be fun tonight. Shane Victorino led it off with a double (what else?) and made a genius play moments later when Polanco almost grounded into a double play, but Shane […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of Philly.com Last night's Phillies game was an all-out disaster. Even though starter Roy Halladay struggled, he did not pitch so poorly that the Phillies should have had a chance. Granted, the Phillies should have scored some runs, but only down 4-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, there […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of penachemag.comIn today's New York Post, Joel Sherman thinks back to the New York Yankees' 2010 in-season and post-season pursuits of Cliff Lee and where they went wrong, and I could not help but thinking about the Phillies' 2009 pursuit of an ace pitcher to help make up for the […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth When the Phillies acquired Joe Blanton in July of 2008, I wasn't exactly enthused. Partially because I probably overrated Josh Outman and Adrian Cardenas, two of the three prospects dealt for Blanton. But mostly because I perceived Blanton to be an "innings-eater who didn't actually eat too many innings", who had […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson This game was without a doubt the best of the Phillies-Mets series. Roy Halladay started this day game, and you know how Halladay likes to kill our N.L. East rivals! Doc tossed 7 scoreless innings for the Phils today, allowing only six hits, and issuing one walk, striking out seven. He […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo I’ll start this post off by saying that we are extremely lucky to have both Cliff Lee and Roy Halladay in our beloved city. Both of these guys play the game exactly how it should be played, with determination, focus, and class. They lead by example on the field, and it […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo Courtesy philly.com Well, that couldn’t have gone any better, now could it? The Phillies had a stellar opening weekend series against the Houston Astros. It was a series sweep that showed off their tremendous starting pitching and timely hitting. The hitting was definitely a question coming into this season with Chase Utley […]
Posted by Mike Frohwirth I hate Predictions posts. First, I predict the most likely outcomes. Second, crazy random happenstances cause less likely outcomes to occur. Third, I am told that my predictions were "wrong." I'm "wrong" because some experts thought giving Derek Jeter a Gold Glove was a reasonable course of action? I'm "wrong" because […]
