Don’t Panic
Posted on 24 Sep 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
One week ago the Phillies clinched their fifth straight National League East Divisional title. Bragging rights remain in Philadelphia for the “phive-time” NL East champs who have amassed 89, 92, 93, 97 and 98 wins over the past five seasons (469 total, 93.8 AVG) – featuring a 2008 World Championship, 2 National League championship pennants, one NLCS exit and one NLDS exit from 2007-2011. ...

Return to Normal
Posted on 28 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Now that Hurricane Irene has blown into and out of town over most of the Eastern Seaboard (west as far as the Ohio River Valley), all that remains is to drain the swollen rivers, calm the raging seas and clean up the debris of fallen trees and scattered weekend plans. Irene’s storms and winds washed out most of the MLB games in the Eastern Time Zone as Florida, the Carolinas, the Mid-Atlant...

On the Seventh Day…REST!
Posted on 16 Aug 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Cole Hamels' tight left shoulder in his last start Friday against the Washington Nationals became enough of a concern Monday that he underwent an MRI examination, according to a report on csnphilly.com. Attempts to confirm that report through the Phillies have been so far unsuccessful. This could mean the reports are inconclusive, the MRI found nothing or the team is keeping these results from ...

Sullivan Signs Minor League Deal
Posted on 11 Feb 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
The Phillies have signed outfielder Cory Sullivan to a Minor League contract, according to several sources including MLB.com and Phillies.com. Sullivan will be in Minor League camp with a possibility of making the major league club. It is likely that Sullivan (a left-handed hitter) would have to outperform Ross Gload (L), John Mayberry, Jr. (R) and Domonic Brown (L) in order to ride the Phillie...

Starting Lineup Projections
Posted on 27 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
Recently, I wrote about the pitching projections (Jan. 3, Phillies Pitching Projections) from The Bill James Handbook 2011. Now it is time for the projected starting lineup. Since Manuel has not tipped his hand yet as to what his plans are, you're left to my own devices and powers of deduction. Several variables apply. Naturally there is the right field situation. Will it be Francisco? Platoon ...

Amaro Stands Pat on Phillies Needs
Posted on 19 Jan 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
One month ago, Phillies Nation took the collected works of Joe Blanton – culminating with a much-ballyhooed meltdown in the NLCS – and was salivating over prospects and players that could be garnered in a trade. Most pundits indicated that the Phillies would be foolhardy to pay $17 million over the next two seasons for a “mediocre fifth starter.” Just a few weeks ago i...

Phillies 2010 Good Season, Bad Ending
Posted on 26 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
The 2010 season has ended for the Phillies. It ended badly. It ended abruptly. We still are processing the details of how and why it ended and likely will continue to process these emotions throughout the offseason. Hope springs eternal and the familiar mantra of “there's always next year” has already been declared – be it right or wrong. As with anything in Life, it is bene...

Phils Favored, No Excuses
Posted on 5 Oct 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
NL East champs four straight years The Phillies are considered the favorites to get back to the World Series. Not only is this a new concept for the Comeback Kids of Broad Street, but a prospect that seemed as likely in July as Eagles coach Andy Reid replacing Kevin Kolb at QB after the first game of the season. Hamels has been brilliant in 2010 Think back to July…The Phillies had just clos...

NO EXCUSES, PHILS SADDLE UP FOR STRETCH RUN
Posted on 9 Aug 2010 by Christopher Rowe.
Just this past week, the Phillies just played their first week of baseball without Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Shane Victorino. They went 6-1 on the week, completing a run of 14 wins in 17 games (including a 12 game home winning streak) and with construction of a new high-speed light rail commuter line between Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia. The Philadelphia to Houston spur is still being buil...
