Charlie Manuel has made yet another dumb managerial decision. Last night in a 0-0 game at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati, Manuel put Phillippe Aumont in to pitch the bottom of the 9th inning, rather than multi-million dollar set-up man Mike Adams. We never got to see what Aumont would do against Zack Cozart, Joey Votto, [...]

With the start of the season less than a week away, Roy Halladay struggled through another outing down in Florida. They just took him out of the game with the Phils trailing 2-0. Yes, his day is through for the Phils down in Clearwater, Florida.  He threw a total of 96 pitches and he went 4 [...]

Phillies veteran pitcher Roy Halladay has come to the realization that he’s got to reinvent himself as a Major League hurler.  On Saturday he pitched against some minor leaguers and he was not even close to being impressive. His fastball was between 85 and 89 miles per hour.  He did reach 90mph on one pitch, but [...]

Earlier in the week Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon made some bold and as he saw them, honest statements to an Allentown sports reporter earlier.  He said there was a lack of leadership in the Phillies clubhouse. “Since I’ve been here I haven’t seen any leadership,” Papelpon told the Allentown Morning Call. “Every good team that I’ve [...]

One of the keys to the Phillies season will be the arm of Roy Halladay.  Is he still an ace or is he a star on his way down?  It was reported a year ago at spring training that his fastball and other hard stuff didn’t have the zip on it, which he had been [...]

It looks like Roy Halladay’s shoulder problem is indeed serious. The Phillies placed the ace on the 15-day disabled list, and expect him to miss between six to eight weeks with a right latissimus dorsi strain (a muscle in his back shoulder). Halladay had been having his worst season as a Phillie, going 4-5 with a [...]

Phillies’ starter Roy Halladay has been having a subpar year. Ten starts into the 2012 season, the former Blue Jay is 4-5 with a 3.98 ERA. While those numbers aren’t necessarily bad, they’re clearly a significant step below the Cy-Young quality of pitching that the righthander has given the team in his first two seasons [...]

So far in 2012, Phillies ace Cole Hamels has continued to dominate from the mound in much the same that he has done since he first put on the Phillies uniform.  I say that because it’s by far the most important aspect of what I have to say about him. Now concerning him plucking Washington Nationals [...]

“Why would i want to go where fans only support you from the 3rd inn. thru the 6th?’” was the grammatically poor tweet that CBS’ Jon Heyman used as an explanation for why Cole Hamels will not be returning to San Diego as a free agent to play for the home town Padres. Now that we [...]
