Hamels Dominates Rockies, Leads Phillies to Victory
Posted on 16 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
Obviously all the trade rumors swirling around Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels are not affecting his performance of late for the Phillies. Hamels has gone at least seven innings in each of his last five starts, all in which have been quality starts for his struggling team. For this Sunday game against the Rockies, Hamels continued his dominance with an eight inning spectacle, allowing only one ea...

Phillies Waste Strong Performance From Hamels, Fall to Marlins
Posted on 1 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
It's not always sunny in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Phillies have lost their fourth straight and are on the verge of being swept by the Miami Marlins. They now sit in dead last place ten games behind the Nationals and three and a half games behind fourth place Miami. This series really gave them an opportunity to gain some substantial ground on the Marlins, but they have failed to capitaliz...

From the Beltway to the City of Brotherly Love

If you didn’t get to watch any of the Nationals-Orioles games this weekend, you missed a lot of good baseball. The Orioles took the first two games 2-1 and 6-5, with the Nationals winning Sunday’s game 9-3. Highlights from the weekend included Stephen Strasburg and Jesús Flores hitting their first home runs of the season, solid pitching performances from Friday’s starters (Edwin Jack...

Don’t Hit Me!
Posted on 7 May 2012 by Marien Hornyak.
Hey, did you watch the nationally-televised baseball game last night? It actually did not involve the Yankees or the Cardinals – it was a nightcap between the first-place Nationals and thePhiladelphia Phillies, which the Phillies won 9-3. The game got testy right from the start, when Phililes' pitcher Cole Hamels deliberately hit Nationals' left fielder Bryce Harper on the back i...

Clearwater Chaos or Signs of Spring
Posted on 10 Mar 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Working out the kinks and essentially re-learning the game of baseball seems an archaic concept in these days of 24-hour news cycles, year-round strength training and the modern multi-million dollar athlete. Bygone days of doughy, rough and tumble big leaguers struggling with medicine balls while working out in long johns and borrowed hunting caps may truly be fodder for newsreels but th...

Pirates Fall to Phillies on Walk-Off Home Run
Posted on 8 Mar 2012 by Drew Karpen.
Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Michael Dubee was going to be a long shot to make the roster, but the outcome today did not help his slim hopes. Dubee came on to pitch the tenth inning, which was most likely going to be the last inning no matter what. Luis Montanez was the first batter scheduled to face Dubee, and was also the last. Montanez hit a walk-off home run off of Dubee to propel the Philli...

Where the Jays Stand – Starting Rotation
Posted on 7 Feb 2012 by Ben Fisher.
Remember back in the fall when I was doing a weekly positional breakdown of the Jays as baseball traipsed through its eventful off-season and into the spring? Well, I went across to diamond to every fielding position off the mound – and little has changed since then. At catcher, former Angel Jeff Mathis will take over the role as J.P. Arencibia’s back-up that was vacated by Tampa-bound Jose...

Extremely Slow and Incredibly Idealistic
Posted on 17 Jan 2012 by Christopher Rowe.
Pitchers and Catchers report to Phillies Spring Training in Clearwater in 5 weeks but spring seems intolerably far away. While the Phillies once made a grand splash early into Hot Stove season with Jonathan Papelbon (4 years @ $50 million) they have lulled their fans into a soporific glaze of late. Ryan Howard has been seen at the complex on crutches and the news of Placido Polanco and Hunter P...

Cardinals in Phillies Coal Mine?
Posted on 5 Oct 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Cole Hamels pitched six innings of shutout baseball notching 8 strikeouts and surrendering 5 hits over 177 pitches – only to be countered by Jaime Garcia (7 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 3 K, 2 BB). Ryan Madson pitched his first 5-out save including slamming the door on a bases loaded jam to end the 8th inning. Albert Pujols and Ryan Theriot each went 4 for 5 to carry the Cardinals offense while Placido Pol...

Redbirds Poised To Take Commanding 2-1 Lead
Posted on 4 Oct 2011 by Chaz Ingram.
The fact that the St. Louis Cardinals entered the 2011 playoffs as a wildcard may somehow convince baseball fans that they are underdogs to the Philadelphia Phillies in the 2011 National League Division Series. But fans in Cardinals Nation are not deceived at all. And maybe after a come from behind victory in game 2 over none other than Cliff Lee should convince the rest of the nation as we...

102 in 2011 – World Series or Bust
Posted on 29 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
After a final day of the regular season that should come with a free cardiac check-up, the playoff participants have been determined. A lot of surprises occurred with two separate nine-game collapses for both AL and NL wildcard entries capping a fantastic 2011 season. Phillies will prepare for the postseason having clinched their spot and secured Philadelphia’s home-field advantage nearly two...
