Vance Worley
Vance Worley's inconsistent starts are becoming more and more painful to watch. After just 4 and 2/3, this became a bullpen game. But, the damage had already been done by the Brew Crew by that point. In what felt like the longest fourth inning in baseball history, the Phils scored first before the Brewers took […]
Last night was just another example of the 2012 Phillies. Poor play, no drive to play for win and the inability to hit with runners in scoring position. Vance Worley allowed four earned runs on six hits through 3 2/3 innings, but left early with what was later diagnosed by Charlie Manuel as "stomach issues". […]
Some nights you have it, some nights you don't. Ben Sheets of the Atlanta Braves had it tonight, while Vance Worley had anything but "it." Tonight also marked the end of the 257 consecutive sellouts streak, 273 including the postseasons. Interesting, no? Worley tonight lasted just 3 & 2/3 innings allowing four earned runs on […]
The Phillies are finally out of last place. Although they don't hold sole possession of the cellar, they still remain 10 games under .500 and 16 games back in the division. While sitting 12 1/2 games back in the Wild Card. There is a chance that the Phillies could pull a miracle run. But that […]
If it didn't sink in during last night's game, it definitely sunk in tonight: This is a new era of Phillies baseball in the outfield. Nate Schierholtz and Domonic Brown started tonight (Brown in LF) with John Mayberry, Jr. in center. As much as it hurts to say this, Shane and Hunter are an […]
The Phillies may have traded two-thirds of their outfield yesterday after a dismal first-half of the season, resulting in a fire sale in the Phillie's front office, but they came right out of the gates last night and pounced on Stephen Strasburg to take game one of this three game set. After an 8-0 victory […]
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 […]
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 […]
I totally thought Vance was hurt. The totally awesome Chad Moriyama makes awesome .gifs of baseball games, and I asked him if he could do us some Worley tripping. He was all for it and hooked us up. Check it out: Here's another angle: Now, I can't give you all three for free when they […]
