Bullpen implodes behind Halladay in 5-3 loss
Date: Wed, Apr 24, 2013
Roy Halladay was excellent for the third straight time, but the Phillies' bullpen failed it, allowing four runs in innings 7-9 in a 5-3 loss to the Pirates. Leading 3-2 in the top of the eighth, the Phils turned to Mike Adams, who had allowed just two runs in 10 outings. He walked Jose Tabata, and Starling Marte reached on an infield single. Travis Snider smoked a single to right to tie the game, and Brandon Inge put Pittsburgh ahead...
Lineup shakeup: Utley finally bats second
Date: Wed, Apr 24, 2013
Chase Utley is in the two-hole, where he probably belongs, for the first time this season Wednesday night against Pirates lefty Wandy Rodriguez. Batting Utley two and Michael Young three makes sense. It puts the Phillies' two highest OBP guys at the moment in position to get on base for Ryan Howard, who at some point has to drive in a run or two. Utley has a .350 OBP and Young is at .400. Phillies second batters this season have...
Remember when the Phillies actually hit?
Date: Wed, Apr 24, 2013
The Phillies have scored two or fewer runs 10 times in 21 games. The 21 double plays they've grounded into leads the National League. They don't walk, they don't hit home runs, and they hit more grounders than every NL team except the Padres. Want to know why the Phillies can't score? That's why they can't score. They can't make a difference with one swing, they don't have enough ways of putting runners on, and when they do they're making...
Phillies waste Hamels' gem in shutout loss to Bucs
Date: Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Cole Hamels turned in his finest performance of the season on Tuesday night at the Bank against the Pirates. The problem was, the Phillies' bats offered no help in a 2-0 loss. There wasn't too much Cole Hamels did wrong against the Pirates on Tuesday night. However, the Pittsburgh Pirates didn't need much help to beat the Phillies. Gaby Sanchez hit a solo homer in the eighth inning and Brandon Inge doubled in a run in the fourth for all...
Utley off; Young bats third vs. Jeff Locke
Date: Tue, Apr 23, 2013
Chase Utley gets his second off day of the year Tuesday against Pirates left-hander Jeff Locke. Michael Young bats third for the first time this season against a pitcher who has struggled in each of his three starts. Locke has a 5.17 ERA this season and has walked four batters in two of his three starts. He has a low-90s fastball, a curve and a change. Lefties have hit the curve very well this season, swinging and missing just once....
Pettibone first Phillies SP in 15 years not to give up walk in debut
Date: Tue, Apr 23, 2013
We love big-league debuts. Better yet, we really love comparing the debuts of Phillies pitchers over the recent past. So with Jonathan Pettibone getting his first look-see as a big leaguer on Monday night against the Pirates, what better excuse to dig up the digits from some of the more notable opening nights for some Phillies starting pitchers? How Pettibone stacks up against a few other Phillies’ draft picks in their debuts appears below, but it's worth specific note that...
Pettibone debuts, sets up Phillies for win
Date: Mon, Apr 22, 2013
Jonathan Pettibone made his big-league debut, pitched well and gave the Phillies a chance to win Monday night. The Phillies took advantage by grabbing a one-run lead in the sixth and letting their bullpen do the rest for a 3-2 win over the Pirates. Pettibone, 22, showed some good things right from the start. After giving up a leadoff double on his second pitch of the game, Pettibone impressively saw his way out of it. A fly ball moved Pittsburgh's...
Burnett maturing; bench producing; same lineup
Date: Mon, Apr 22, 2013
The Phillies take on A.J. Burnett on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series with the Pirates. The Phils are 26-10 against the Bucs at home since 2001, and have hit Burnett regularly through the years. But this isn't the same A.J. Burnett. Burnett has drastically cut down his walk totals since joining the Pirates. His 2.8 BB/9 last year was the lowest full-season walk rate of his career. The result was a 3.51 ERA, his lowest since...
Revere, Kratz halt struggles to lift Phillies
Date: Sun, Apr 21, 2013
It was unlikely heroes propelling the Phillies on Sunday night. Ben Revere and Erik Kratz, both scuffling at the plate, delivered clutch hits to turn a 3-3 deadlock in the eighth inning into a 7-3 Phillies win over the Cardinals. With runners on first and third and one out in the second half of the eighth, Revere lined a laser up the middle to plate the go-ahead run. And before you could blink, Kratz crushed a three-run home run to...
Game chat: Howard back, Pettibone to pitch Monday
Date: Sun, Apr 21, 2013
The Phillies get back a Big Piece for Sunday night's matchup with the Cardinals. Ryan Howard, who was sidelined the previous two games because of a sore groin, returns to Charlie Manuel's lineup and will hit fourth. Before missing a pair of games, the Phillies' first baseman was in the midst of rebounding from another slow start. Entering an April 9 game vs. the Mets, Howard was hitting .148. Since then, he's batting .371 to improve his overall average to...
Lee takes first loss, bats silent again vs. Cards
Date: Sat, Apr 20, 2013
One night after scoring eight runs and limiting the Cardinals to two hits, the Phillies flopped as Cliff Lee gave up five runs in just five innings and the offense was shut out in a 5-0 loss to the Red Birds. Lee entered the game having walked just one batter in 23 1/3 innings. He also led baseball with a 73.3 percent first-pitch strike rating. But on Saturday, Lee was uncharacteristically wild — particularly in the third inning, when he...
Game chat: Howard sitting, Galvis in left again
Date: Sat, Apr 20, 2013
Ryan Howard, who is considered day-to-day with a groin strain, will be out of the lineup for the second straight game. Meanwhile, Freddy Galvis is back in left field and starting for the sixth time in the last eight games. Galvis made some plays in the outfield on Friday night — his spectacular diving catch on a Matt Holliday line drive to left comes to mind — and clearly Charlie Manuel is comfortable putting him out there. Freddy's glove hasn't...
Halladay sharp, offense clicks, Phillies cruise
Date: Fri, Apr 19, 2013
It was an all-around great night for the Phillies. Stuck in a four-game losing skid and a perplexing funk offensively, the Phillies saw nothing but positives in a stress-free 8-2 win over the Cardinals on Friday, which went final in 6 1/2 innings because of downpouring rain. Let's take a look at what went right for the Phillies. First, Roy Halladay. • Halladay proved his previous outing was no fluke against a terrible Marlins squad. The 35-year-old mowed down a...
Game chat: Phils go with righty lineup vs. Garcia
Date: Fri, Apr 19, 2013
Ryan Howard is 2-for-12 with six strikeouts against Jaime Garcia and 1-for-15 with nine Ks against lefties, so it makes sense that he's sitting tonight against the Cardinals southpaw -- even if the Phillies are starved for power. Kevin Frandsen, who hit .400 with a .980 OPS in 68 plate appearances vs. lefties in 2012, gets his first start of the season at first base and bats sixth. Michael Young moves from the five-hole to fourth, while John Mayberry slides...
