The Phillies have very few open jersey numbers heading into 2020 Spring Training
The Phillies head to Spring Training hoping that at least some of their many invitees will stick.

Pitchers and catchers reported to Clearwater on Wednesday and the first workout is this morning. Phillies baseball is back. In recent years, this day has provided a sense […]
It's finally here, folks. Phillies spring training '14 has been in effect for two weeks now and today the Phillies will get their first Grapefruit League game in as they take on the Toronto Blue Jays at Bright House Field. After yet another dismal season in 2013 (73-89), the Phillies look forward to improving their […]
The Phillies were crushed yesterday, 13-4 at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. John Lannan was lit up for 12 earned runs on 14 hits through four innings in yesterday's ball game. Lannan's response to his horrific start? "Got my butt kicked, gotta move on." Great response and attitude. Given that it is […]
The Phillies were obliterated, 17-10 yesterday at the hand of the Atlanta Braves. Overall, the Phillies played terribly, accounting for three errors in the loss. Rodrigo Lopez took the loss after allowing 8 runs (7 earned) across two innings. This morning Lopez was optioned to minor-league camp after four appearances this spring. Lopez, 37, will […]

He did just that again to start this ballgame allowing just three hits and striking out one. The Phillies put up the first runs […]

In five shutout innings, Lannan allowed just two hits, walked one, and struck out four. Matt Moore tossed five innings for the Rays, but allowed […]

The victim and to sloppy defense as well as a contributor, Lee and the Phillies tallied five […]
Roy Halladay was roughed up pretty bad in yesterday's 10-6 loss to Detroit. Halladay said after the game that his bad performance was not because of any soreness, but because he was feeling lethargic due to a new intense throwing program he has been doing. He topped out at 87 mph, 1 mph slower than […]
