Vance Worley's last start did not last long. Battling some stomach issues, Worley lasted just 3 2/3 innings against Atlanta on Tuesday with less-than-stellar results. Today, Worley looks to rebound and give the Phillies a series win. He will have to do so without Jimmy Rollins, who is getting a day off. On the […]
Wikipedia Commons Tonight the Phillies will induct catcher Mike Lieberthal to the Phillies Wall of Fame prior to tonight's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. My teenage through early adult years of Phillies baseball were perhaps some of the leanest times in recent Phillies history, but one steady favorite was Mike Lieberthal, who transformed from […]
Newest San Francisco Giants outfielder Hunter Pence is a Twitter mainstay. But his Twitter handle has been anything but. We first knew Pence as @hunterpence9 during his days with Houston. Then, in Philadelphia, he was @hunterpence3. But alas, he got a new team and a new number, 8. From this day forward, he shall […]
Antonio Bastardo had two decent starts before giving way to Cliff Lee in 2009, but my earliest memory of Bastardo is in the 2009 NLDS when he came in to face left-handed slugger Jason Giambi of the Colorado Rockies. Bastardo struck him out. At that point I had high hopes for the Phillies' left-hander as […]
Roy Halladay was on MLB Network Radio this morning on "Power Alley" with Jody McDonald and Fred McGriff to promote discoverboating.com, but talked plenty of baseball, including how he is feeling after his trip to the disabled list. The biggest news is that Halladay says he is fully healthy once again. His seven inning scoreless […]
Have the Phillies reached the end of the line of Kyle Kendrick as a starting pitcher? It sounds as if Phillies manager Charlie Manuel is growing tired of the unpredictable Kendrick. Kendrick has provided some value for the Phillies, but yet there seems to always be the chance for a massive blow-up such as tonight's […]
Shane Victorino has already taken a role as a leader in the Dodgers clubhouse. I missed this on Sunday, but Shane seems to have taken issue with James Loney in the Dodgers' clubhouse, according to ESPN Los Angeles reporter Arash Markazi: If that is the case, consider me impressed. Also from ESPN Los Angeles, […]
About a month ago I wrote about the Phillies possibly pursuing soon-to-be free agent outfielder Michael Bourn this past offseason. Both Bob Brookover and Matt Gelb started mentioning that Bourn might be a good fit with the Phillies once again next year, as the team really could use a leadoff hitter, the speed, and […]
Cole Hamels was absolutely dominant last night on the mound, throwing his first complete game since September 2011 and his first shut out since September 2009 in his 100th career start at Citizens Bank Park. Today, Hamels spoke about why he re-signed with the Phillies. Check out today's interview from MLB Network Radio on Sirius […]
Domonic Brown was the untouchable. The Phillies would not trade him. Not for Cliff Lee. Not for Roy Halladay. He debuted to a standing ovation in 2010 as the Phillies entered an offensive funk down the stretch. But soon the magic died. Brown hit just .210 in his late season call-up in 2010, and Spring […]
