Shane Victorino
Cole Hamels made his first start tonight since signing his six-year contract extension. He's coming off a loss against the Giants in which he allowed five runs on ten hits. This wouldn't be a much better start in Atlanta. The Phillies scored first off of Ben Sheets. Sheets has made two starts this season […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani Time to trade Shane. We all know he's not coming back next year and that it's easy to replace a .250 hitter in your lineup. Plus, the Phillies already have infield popups covered with Jimmy Rollins. So where is he going to go? Jim Bowden, the former GM turned radio host […]
Merry Christmas in July, everyone! Cole Hamels' fresh six-year contract extension was a pretty sweet gift, but how about a sweep? The Phils sent the Vanimal, Vance Worley to the mound to silence the Brewers and go for the first series sweep of the year. Martin Maldonado would bring home the first run of the […]
In three-straight games the Phillies have come back from a deficit to win the game. On Sunday against the Giants and Monday against the Brewers, the Phils ended the game in walk-off fashion. Last night was a bit different. The Phillies trailed 6-1 headed into the eighth inning. Cliff Lee was horrible last night, allowing […]
Danielle Wilson/Philliedelphia This didn't look promising from the sixth inning on, but another burst of offense would lead the Phillies to another comeback win, as crazy as it sounds. Another rough start to tonight's game led the Brewers to scoring the first run. This happened in the top of the first when Corey Hart singled […]
Shane Victorino and starting pitcher Zack Greinke are among the few being scouted tonight, Jim Salisbury reports. Victorino is the talk of most trade situations that could happen for the Phillies before the trade deadline. He's not alone, there have also been rumors of dealing away Pence or Polanco. Zack Greinke has found himself in […]
Roy Halladay returned to Citizens Bank Park for the first time since coming off the disabled list during the Dodgers series. He would face Randy Wolf and the Milwaukee Brewers. It didn't start out on a good note for Doc. In the first inning, Carlos Gomez was able to score on a double from Aramis […]
The Phillies barely escaped a sweep at the hands of the Giants yesterday. It was too close to call as the Phils took their second game in a row into extra innings. Unlike Saturday's game, the Phils were able to rally up a walkoff hit as Jimmy Rollins knocked in Carlos Ruiz with a single […]
We are just eight days away from the Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline and the rumors are flying. However, the current consensus from general managers is that teams are asking for the moon. One of those teams balking at a high price is the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rob Biertempfel of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review tweets that Phillies […]
Although they couldn't seal the sweep, the Phillies are coming off of another series win. Their second in a row. On Wednesday, Cliff Lee was fantastic over eight innings. The offense, on the other hand, was not so fantastic. They were only able to push one run across the plate and it cost them in […]
