Shane Victorino
ESPN's Steve Berthiaume reports that there were angry words between Phillies starting pitcher Cliff Lee and outfielder Shane Victorino. Victorino lost a routine fly ball which led to a triple and ultimately a run. By rule, the play is considered a triple if the fielder does not touch it. The Phillies broadcast ultimately talked about […]
@GMCarson just pointed me to this: The Phillies have moved one-time super prospect Domonic Brown to center field at AAA Lehigh Valley. Wow. If you fail at left and fail at right, only other place is center, right? (Well, I suppose Brown could return to pitching). This move could be very telling about the Phillies' […]
Well last night was pretty crazy. Despite the bad pitching and near-lead blowing outings, the Phillies still managed to rack 10 runs on a season-high 18 hits in their 10-9 win over St. Louis last night. Taking game one of this four-game set doesn't really say a lot, but hey the Phils are back at […]
The Phillies traveled to St. Louis last night for a four-game series at the Cardinals. Obviously, the Cards and Phils' first meeting of the season will bring back a few painful memories from last season's NLDS in which the Cards came out on top, and were eventual World Series Champions. Joe Blanton and Jake Westbrook […]
Finally, a win for Roy Halladay. Doc pitched a masterpiece tonight at Wrigley and received run support, which is a rarity of late for this team. After five straight starts without a win, Roy picked up his fourth of the season in the Phillies' fifth consecutive win. Chris Volstad has never been lucky against the […]
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 […]
Joe Blanton and Lucas Harrell squared off in the first game of this two game series in Philadelphia, the last of this homestand. Rain was in the forecast, and lots of it! The game would become official before the Phillies' offense would back up Blanton with a handful of runs. Up until the fifth inning, […]
Ooooh we can get Kyle Drabek back for Cole Hamels! Ok, so Ken Rosenthal says that the Phillies and the Blue Jays "enagaged in dialogue" over Cole Hamels and Shane Victorino. EVERYBODY FREAK OUT! Or not. This is absolutely nothing more than a headline to get you to click on their site and drive up […]
Here's the facts: The Phillies stink. They're four games under .500. In the last nine games, ALL in division, they have blown FIVE leads in the late innings. That's five. None in the 9th (though they lost a tie in one). In other words, if the starter isn't going eight innings or more, they are […]
Joe Blanton brought the business tonight against the Mets, much like he did in Atlanta last Thursday when he pitched an 88-pitch complete game shutout. The Phillies were able to score runs tonight off of Miguel Batista, which they failed to do (for the most part) last night to give Roy Halladay a win. Doc […]
