For a few Phillies, it was certainly a good first impression — see J.P. Arencibia and David Hernandez. Of course, the other side […]
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 […]
We are in the final week of spring training and in one week's time, every game played will matter. The Phillies will be in Atlanta on April 1st, but before they head down south they will stop at Citizens Bank Park for a three-game On-Deck Series with the Toronto Blue Jays. Today John Lannan (1-1, […]

The Toronto Blue Jays are stacking up for the upcoming season.

After dropping the first two games of this series in Toronto, the Phillies will turn to Kyle Kendrick in an effort to prevent the sweep. Yesterday was just another example of bad luck and bad baseball. Cliff Lee had everything going for him. A nice lead, a good pitch count, and a chance to finally […]
Well it hasn't happened yet. Cliff Lee is still winless. We'll get short and to the point today. The Phillies scored five runs, including a three-run shot by John Mayberry Jr. in the third inning. Cliff Lee allowed three runs on a season-high 12 hits over seven innings against the Blue Jays today. Lee had […]
Oh, Canada. The Blue Jays have been very unlucky this past week with the loss of Brandon Morrow due to a left oblique strain, and Kyle Drabek with a torn UCL. Both are on the 15-day DL as of right now, but both injuries are likely substantial. As if losing two starters isn't bad enough, […]
