Through the first four innings of play tonight, the Phillies held a commanding 4-0 lead landlocked to be cruising toward a victory in the series opener against the Braves. Jeremy Hellickson looked in control tonight, but once the fifth inning came along the Braves got to him and tied the game up, scoring four runs in the inning. The game …
Over the past two years, the Phillies have gone from having one of the worst farm systems in all of baseball to now having one of the best in baseball. The Phillies now have legitimate prospects and real hope for the future. The Phillies have abundance of high quality talent at all levels, and that is evident by the impressive …
The Phillies’ offense has been anything but hot during this series against the Nationals, but tonight was the worst of all three games. The Phillies managed just one run on two hits, with their only run coming on one swing of the bat by Freddy Galvis. The Phillies failed to record more than four hits as a team in any …
The Phillies’ offense has been in a bit of a slide over the past couple games, and that continued tonight. Phillies starter Jerad Eickhoff shook off a rough first inning to deliver a solid start, but it wasn’t enough as the Phillies (60-72) would end up falling to the Nationals (77-55) by a final of 3-2. Nationals starter Max Scherzer …
In the team’s first game without Carlos Ruiz, the Phillies lacked any sense of urgency and were blown out by the Mets in the series opener. The Mets used the long ball to power past the Phillies, scoring all 9 of their runs via the home run. Adam Morgan struggled on the mound as he allowed 6 runs, and was …
If you haven’t heard (and how could you not have), the Phillies parted ways with one of the most beloved players in franchise history, and arguably the best catcher the Phillies have ever had, Carlos Ruiz. In the trade, the Phillies acquired Dodgers backup catcher A.J. Ellis, as well as a minor leaguer and a PTBNL. However, Ellis will not …
After being out scored 18-1 in their previous two games, a 9-0 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday and a 9-1 last night to the White Sox, the Phillies needed to answer back and put up a fight in tonight’s game. The Phillies got off to a great start in tonight’s game, scoring the first four runs of the game. …
There are so many things you can call Chase Utley from his time as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies. All-star, silver slugger, Phillies legend, World F***ing Champion. But as simply as Harry Kalas once put it, he was the man. Many people have called Chase Utley a bad person because of his hesitance to show emotion and his lack …
You’ve heard this a million times over the last day and a half, but Chase Utley was (and still is) the man. In his first game back at Citizens Bank Park since being dealt to the Dodgers last season, Chase was nothing short of spectacular. Utley always had a flair for the dramatic, and boy did he prove that again …
It was a sloppy, ugly game on a very hot and muggy afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, but the Phillies got the job done and earned a win giving them a series sweep over the Rockies. Both teams combined to make five errors in today’s game, and it led to multiple runs and frustrated managers. Jeanmar Gomez struggled in the …
