Roy Halladay
On Sunday, Cole Hamels had to battle a bit. Coming off an extra day's rest, he struggled with his command, even though he had good stuff. The result though doesn't tell that story. Cole Hamels went seven innings, giving up five hits, one run, and three walks, striking out five. He got the win, and […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani) It's been well over a month since we've heard any talk about Cole Hamels and his contract situation. The 28-year old is in his final year as a Phillie and as of now he's showing what he's worth. According to NBC's Howard Eskin, Cole Hamels' agent John Boggs has told the Phillies […]
Happy Mother's day to all you mothers out there! We here at Philliedelphia appreciate all the hard work you've done in your lives. You've made us people who we are today and for that we thank you. This afternoon, Cole Hamels (4-1, 2.45 ERA), fresh off of his suspension, will make his eighth start of […]
Roy Halladay won his first three decisions of the season, his third win coming on April 16. That was also his last win. The Phillies flat-out do not score runs for Doc. Unfortunately, this pattern would continue as Halladay received the loss. Freddy Galvis drove in the first run of this game in the […]
No way – it can't, be can it? After using 25,732 different lineups, Charlie Manuel will actually use the SAME ONE two days in a row as the Phillies face the San Diego Padres for the second game of a three-game series. Roy Halladay is on the mound for the Phillies, who have lost his […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) Thank you, baseball Gods. Cliff Lee (0-1, 1.96 ERA) is back from his DL stint with a strained oblique and he is back in the rotation. Lee will make his first start since April 18 when he tossed 10 scoreless innings – yes 10. Remember that? – against the San Francisco Giants. […]
We can all agree that in our lifetimes we'd never expect to see Joe Blanton throw a complete game shut out. Well last Thursday, Joe Blanton (3-3, 2.83 ERA) showed us wrong when he tossed an 88-pitch 3-hit complete game shutout against the Braves in a 4-0 win. After the Phillies lost last night's bout […]
When Roy Halladay has it, he has it. And, oh, did he have it tonight. He was looking for a win after a brutal outing last Wednesday night in Atlanta. He allowed eight earned runs on twelve hits in five and a third innings pitched. Very, very rare for Doc to pitch a bad game. Unfortunately, his […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani The Phillies won their third series of the season yesterday as Joe Blanton was freaking phenomenal against the Braves. A three-hit shutout? I don't know where it came from, but I loved it. Anyway, the Phillies won't play the Braves again until July 6-8, so we'll get back to them later. Tonight, the […]
Roy Halladay has left the Phillies today for undisclosed personal issues. This comes a day after surrendering a 6-0 lead, giving up 8 runs in the fifth and sixth innings of a 15-13 loss at Atlanta. The Phillies ace is winless since charging out to a 3-0 record, and his fastball is down in velocity. […]
