Ryan Howard
Posted by Danielle Wilson The first game of a four-game series in San Diego kicked off with a 3-0 win for the Phillies. Saying Roy Oswalt pitched well is a complete understatement. He tossed a no-hitter through four innings, but only lasted six due to a high pitch count. His line: one hit, two walks, […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Cole Hamels took the mound for the Phillies tonight in the place of his birth, which explains why he's so comfortable pitching and hitting there, I suppose. In the third inning, Cole singled but was somehow picked off while trying to steal. Victorino and Polanco both drew walks, and advanced on a wild pitch on […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson As Chris Wheeler would say, the first inning for the Phillies was a "doozy". It only took eight pitches for Padres starter Tim Stauffer to retire the side, and I wish I could say the same for Joe Blanton. Big Joe allowed his obligatory first run to score on an RBI […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of USAToday.com It has come to my attention that Phillies fans love bromances. What's a bromance you ask? A bromance is a highly formed friendship formed by two "bros". This bromance between shortstop Jimmy Rollins and first baseman Ryan Howard has been growing stronger since the first year they played […]
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), […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Daylife.com Let me start this recap by quoting Pete Rose: “Somebody has to win, and somebody has to lose, and I believe in letting the other guys lose.” The Phillies were generous tonight and allowed the Mets to lose this one. The first inning was a beauty for Joe Blanton, who […]
Posted by Stephen Gallo Courtesy of covers.com Huge Contract? Check. World Series title? Check. Super hot, cheerleader wife? Well, soon enough. No, this is not TMZ, but we here at Philliedelphia like to keep you updated on all things Phillies. As reported by Phillies beat writer Randy Miller, Ryan Howard is officially engaged to Eagles […]
Posted by Danielle Wilson Courtesy of ESPN.com Roy Oswalt kicked off the end of this three game series against his old team, the Houston Astros this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. Thankfully, we didn’t need little Roy to play left field in this game, and we didn’t need Raul Ibanez to cover first base, either. […]
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 As Opening Day quickly approaches, there has been much debate over the Phillies' batting order. While Manager Charlie Manuel has employed a variety of different lineups during Spring Training, his main objectives have been to get his starters plate appearances against MLB-likely pitchers, and to evaluate other players' suitability for bench […]
