Phillies Slip Below .500 in Frustrating Loss

Two men continued their impressive 2013 campaigns. Kyle Kendrick dialed up another quality start and Domonic Brown was pretty much the offense tonight, driving in three runs. The rest of the team looked as they have all season. Streaky. Brown got to Gorzelanny early with a home run but Jean... Continue reading

Early Offensive Explosion and Cliff Lee Survive a Bullpen Meltdown

This was definitely a good, bad, and ugly game. However a win is a win. I think. The game started out better than any have all season. The Phillies tagged Mike Fiers for five runs in the first inning including just another three run blast from Domonic Brown. Fiers would... Continue reading

Cliff Lee Looks to Stop the Bleeding. Again.

After two mostly pathetic losses against a less than stellar Milwaukee club, the Phillies are forced to lick their wounds and give the ball to Cliff Lee. They've shown some signs of battle in these games but for the most part are letting mediocre pitchers beat them. With every loss,... Continue reading

Phillies Leave Fenway with a Win Backed by Lee and Key Hits

After what may have been the worst loss of the season, the Phillies needed a lot. The bullpen was heavily taxed. They needed innings from Cliff Lee. When Lee is going good, he's one of the best in the game and tonight he was very hard to hit. He pitched... Continue reading

Domonic Brown had himself a breakout week hitting .348, two home runs, driving in seven, and scoring four. For his efforts he was awarded NL Player of the Week.

Rant: Finding the Floor

Today's ballgame inspired me to finally write what's been brewing in my head all season about your 2013 Philadelphia Phillies. Little mini rants would come into my head with every awful loss but they'd salvage some of my optimism with some good games here and there. Before it sounds like... Continue reading

On the two year anniversary of his pitching victory in the 19 inning classic over the Cincinnati Reds, (well technically tomorrow is the anniversary but the game started today in 2011), former Phillies utility infielder Wilson Valdez has signed on with the Camden Riversharks of the Atlantic League. This comes... Continue reading

Phillies Win on Walk Off Heroics from Galvis and Kratz

It was shaping up to be another shut out. For seven innings,Reds starter Homer Bailey kept the Phillies off the scoreboard. It wasn't quite as pathetic as it sounded. They were hitting the ball hard, they were just going into gloves. Still, it was starting to get ugly. The unsung... Continue reading

Reds Thrash Phillies in a 10-0 Loss

I really saw this one coming. Kendrick did what he could with a potent line up but they were able to handle him for four runs over six innings. He definitely got his work in and he battled but in the end, he wasn't a match for them today. Niether... Continue reading

Kendrick faces Arroyo and Reds as Series Continues

Kyle Kendrick looks to continue his dominant season this afternoon against Cincinnati. We've already gotten a pretty good look at what a dangerous line up this hot team can be. Big test for the man who's been the staff ace so far this season. They had to battle a bit... Continue reading

Phillies Look to Take Series Against the Mets

After a fairly nice debut from Jonathan Pettibone on Monday, the young hurler looks to build upon that this afternoon at Citi Field as the Phillies seek a much needed series win. After losing 3/4 to the Pirates, I'd even call a sweep essential right now. Facing Pettibone is Shaun... Continue reading

Howard Blast Backs Up Kendrick's Gem As Phillies Beat Mets

After three brutal losses to Pittsburgh, Kyle Kendrick threw a beauty tonight in Citi Field. He kept the Mets off balance the whole game, allowing just three hits and one walk. Really can't emphasize how important it was. The bullpen needed to rest up, the offense has been shaky and... Continue reading

A Brief Primer On New Phillies Starter Jonathan Pettibone

It wasn't too long ago when Jonathan Pettibone's name appeared among the annoyingly titled group they dubbed "baby aces" alongside Jarred Cosart, Trevor May, Julio Rodriguez, and Brody Colvin. Three of them habe been dealt away and one has really struggled the past few seasons. Pettibone is the last man... Continue reading

Lannan Looking To Avoid Sweep

Well that was fast and also quite predictable. Yet, another game is on tap. John Lannan looks to build on his rather impressive start to the season against Mike Leake, who comes into tonight's contest with a 6.75 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in two starts. Just the right guy to... Continue reading

Defensively Flawed Phillies Fall to Yankees 6-2

Prime time Spring Training exhibition found the Phillies playing one of the sloppiest games I've seen form a defense that already has it's fair share of question marks. They managed to commit five errors as a whole, two in the same at bat. Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera, and the Yankees... Continue reading

Opinion: The Phillies Should Sign Kyle Lohse

First things first, this isn't so much a reactionary post to Roy Halladay's rather alarming start this afternoon but it helped inspire me to put the thought to paper. I don't get worked up over spring starts but I do tend to get worked up over the lack of insurance... Continue reading

A Bright Future Assigned to Minor League Camp; An Interesting Name Remains

Tommy Joseph, the finest position player prospect in the system, impressed offensively and defensively. He reminds me a... Continue reading

Michael Young All the Wiser With the Phillies; Cliff Lee Thinks the Rangers Jerked Him Around

I saw a few interviews with Michael Young today. One with Greg Murphy after he was finished his 5 innings of work and one with Michael Barkann on the Phillies Focus show. I was reminded of Raul Ibanez. The veteran who has played his share of baseball, probably on the... Continue reading
