Giants Win With Torres Walk Off Single and Avoid Phillies Sweep
Posted on 8 May 2013 by Daniel Trucios.
Despite a blown save in the 9th inning by Sergio Romo, the Giants would survive and manage to win in extras. It would be Andres Torres coming through in the bottom of the 10th with runners on the corners and 2 outs. Torres whacked a single to right field off of Antonio Bastardo of the Phillies to score in Buster Posey from third for a 4-3 walk off win. The San Francisco Giants (20-14) manage to...

Posted on 6 Aug 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
Ryan Howard has struggled since returning from the DL a short time ago, but with a walk off single in the ninth to give the Phillies the win on Sunday afternoon, has to help his confidence moving forward. “It's just been a timing issue,” said Howard, who is batting .208 in 23 games since being activated from the DL. “I've been kind of in between, start too late, start too earl...

Playoff Push Belies MLB Grind
Posted on 29 Jul 2012 by Steven Keys.
The ‘dog days’ of summer have arrived. The genesis of that phrase? I haven’t a clue. To tell ya’ the truth, sometimes I just don’t want to know the answer. Call it Information Age burn-out. Suffice to say, ‘dog days’ feels apropos come late July. It’s that time in baseball when the pep & vigor of spring has vanished like a cool summer breeze. Players, managers and umpires st...

After just two days with his 144 million dollar contract, Cole Hamels had arguably the worst start of his career. After just four weeks after signing his minor league contract, Braves pitcher Ben Sheets continues to dazzle with his third straight victory. Sheets, who missed all of last season due to Tommy John surgery, is just trying to do his part on a Braves team that is within striking dista...

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 Spoil Strong Start, Fall to Braves
Posted on 7 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
Any time you feel like the Phillies are getting something together, they always seem to find a way to ruin it. Despite a second inning home run from Braves catcher Brian McCann, the Phillies hit up Braves' ace Tommy Hanson for a quick three runs, for what seemed to be a good start to today's game. Unfortunately, the Phillies fell back into their losing ways dropping their last nine of ten, desp...

Cliff Lee Gets His First Win as Phillies Dominate Mets
Posted on 5 Jul 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
Winning has never felt so good for Cliff Lee and the Philadelphia Phillies. Lee has gone the first thirteen starts of his season without a victory, a rare occurrence for the former All-star pitcher. “I would've love to have had a win a long time ago,” “Sometimes weird things happen.” said Lee. Typically, Gatorade showers are saved for championships and momentous occa...

Posted on 27 Jun 2012 by Matt LaCoille.
If you haven't voted for Carlos Ruiz for this year's All-Star game, you might want to help him out after performances like these. Ruiz is a distant third in All-Star voting for catchers even with some of the majors best numbers. He is first in the league in batting average (.361), second in OPS (1.006), third in on-base percentage (.427) and fifth in slugging percentage (.579), all in which i...

Pirates Lose, McCutchen Bright Future
Posted on 27 Jun 2012 by Emily Gruver.
The Pittsburgh Pirates lost another tough one last night to the Philadelphia Phillies, 5-4. Although Andrew McCutchen had an excellent performance, Chooch and the Phillies were just too much to handle last night. There is no doubt in my mind that McCutchen has a very bright future ahead of him. He went 2 for 4 last night in the loss and helped his team out as much as he could. Andrew is only...
