Vance Worley
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy baseball.dailyskew.com The Phillies' bullpen picture became a little blurrier this evening when J.C. Romero left the game clutching his calf in the 7th inning of the Phillies loss to the Brewers Monday night. David Hale of the Wilmington News Journal reported Tuesday morning that Romero will likely hit the disabled […]
Posted by Frank Klose Courtesy of Philly.com Last night's Phillies game was an all-out disaster. Even though starter Roy Halladay struggled, he did not pitch so poorly that the Phillies should have had a chance. Granted, the Phillies should have scored some runs, but only down 4-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, there […]
View image | gettyimages.com Jeff Francoeur's clutch throw from right field to complete a double play helped Jonathan Papelbon seal the Phillies all-time save record and snap a four-game losing streak. On Thursday afternoon, the Phillies (12-23) return to the field for the final game of a four-game series against the Pirates (17-17) with […]
The Phillies pulled above .500 for the spring with yesterday's 6-3 win over the Washington Nationals. Roy Halladay dealed over four innings, despite a little controversy surrounding his throw behind OF Tyler Moore. Halladay said after his outing that the pitch slipped, but many are wondering about this claim. Earlier in the game, Nationals starter […]
According to David Murphy of the Daily News , former Phillies starter, current Twins starter Vance Worley was traded on the worst day imaginable. After a workout on the elliptical, Worley returned a call from Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. in which he learned he was traded to Minnesota. Not an ideal situation for Worley after […]
It had to happen sometime. Phillies right hander Vance Worley has been placed on the DL after months of pitching with bone chips in his right elbow. Worley is expected to have surgery to remove the bone chips within the next 10 days. The 24 year-old pitcher has been a shell of his 2011 self […]
The bone chip in Vance's elbow is not affecting his pitching, according to Vance. But, his performance has been on a downhill spiral for the entire month of August. In his previous four starts, Vance went 0-3 allowing at least six hits in all of those starts. It didn't get much better tonight. In the […]
In Vance's previous four starts, he had gone less than six innings and had allowed four or more earned runs. Vance would go six again, but it was a much better start than his last. While Bronson Arroyo was tossing a no-hitter through five innings, the Reds were backing him up with some offense. In […]
The Phillies enter tonight's game nine games under .500 and ten games back in the Wild Card. At 57-66 and 39 games left to play, there's a slim – and I mean slim – mathematical possibility that the Phillies could make the playoffs with a Wild Card berth. After winning the series opener against the […]
The Phillies have gotten off to a very bad start in this weekend series in Milwaukee. Losing the first two games by large deficits, they have just proven what this team is all about: not being able to find a solid groove. Unlike Thursday, last night's game was not a close call loss. Thanks to […]
