Phillies departures and Predictions
We lost a lot of talent this off season, but we also lost a lot of bad
attitudes. Brett Myers signed with former Phillies GM Ed Wade and the
Astros, mainly because Ed Wade stockpiles former Phillies. As you may
recall Myers was not huge with the fans due to some off the field
incidents and lack of performance on the field. Chan Ho Park is still a
free agent because he seems to think he can make it as a starter….HA!
Scott Eyre has retired because the Phillies wouldn’t offer him a major
league contract. Scott will be missed as he brightened everyone’s day
up. Miguel Cairo is a Red now, thank God. Cliff Lee and his wanted
$20+M salary is gone to Seattle. Pedro Feliz has taken his slick
fielding, soft batting self to Houston as well.

Game Delayed
The Phillies game in Florida is being delayed right now in the Middle of the 6th inning. It is an official game, so if they call it the Phillies and Cole Hamels get the win. Ricky Nolasco has not pitched like an ace tonight. Laboring through 6 innings on 93 pitches, only 54 of them good for strikes. He has allowed four runs while striking out five and walking two, also giving up seven hits. His ERA has risen to 5.77. Hamels on the other hand, has pitched like a true ace. Allowing just one run on four hits and one walk in five innings. He has struck out five and has only thrown 68 pitches, 52 for strikes. His ERA has lowered to 4.72, even after allowing a lead-off homer to Chris Coughlan. Chase Utley hit his 21st Home Run of the season driving in Jimmy Rollins who led off the game with a double. It was Rollins 22nd 2B, and Pedro Feliz later got his 19th 2B, and his 46th RBI. Utley’s two runs batted in brought his season total all the way up to 63. Raul Ibanez has continued his great second half start by going 2-3 with a run scored. Every Phils position player, except for All-Star Shane Victorino has reached base tonight, even Ryan Howard who has gone 1-3. I will keep you updated on the status of the game.
Update(10:04): Chan Ho Park has replaced Cole Hamels as the game is now going again. Park just struck Hanley Ramirez out to start the inning.
7/17 Phillies Preview
Phillies send their ace Cole Hamels to the mound hoping he can regain his 08 form. He will be challenged by Marlins struggling ace Ricky Nolasco. Hamels is looking to have the same kind of night that Moyer did against a very streaky Marlins offense. Hoping he can make his ERA drop 41 points like his mentor Jamie Moyer did last night against the Marlins. With this start Hamels should break the 100 IP mark for the season, as he is only 2 IP away. Pedro Martinez was playing catch and getting to know the team today in Miami. He is expected to through a bullpen session Saturday before reporting to the Phillies Spring Training Facility in Clearwater, FL to start his rehab and hopefully be back in the majors in time for the Giants series. Imagine a Randy Johnson-Pedro Martinez matchup. Raul Ibanez will be seeking his 25th HR of the year. Utley will be aiming for his 100th hit of the season and Shane will be going for his team leading 110th. Even though Greg Dobbs is hitting only .269 he does have 5 HR and an OPS of 774. The Phils, who had no everyday players hit over .300 last season currently have 3 hitting over that mark in Utley, Victorino, and Ibanez. Feliz is keeping up his .292 BA and making his case for the Phils brass to pick up his option for the 2010 season. He also is 3rd on the team in hits and has 25 XBH. The Phillies currently have 64 SB and only 16 CS. Utley is 9/9, Ibanez is 4/4, and Howard is 4/4 as well. Rollins and Victorino are a combined 31/43 and Werth is 12/14. The Phils also have the most potent offense in the NL, having 4 players with 20+ HR and their 2-7 hitters all on pace for 80+ RBI. The main reason the bench has not been a strength for the Phillies is due to the fact that Bruntlett has a .139 AVG and Mayberry has a .180 AVG.
Phillies Roundup 7/16
MLB: The Phillies shut out the second place Marlins 4-0 tonight behind a strong outing from Jamie Moyer. The 46 year old had a perfect game through four innings before Jorge Cantu led of the fifth with a single. He improved to 9-6 on the season and lowered his ERA from 5.99 to 5.58. All together he threw seven innings of one hit ball, with a walk and four strikeouts. It was his 255th career victory. The four strikeouts also got him to a career mark of 2305. He reached another milestone by recording his 1100 base on balls. Moyer has now thrown 101.2 innings pitched this year through 18 games, giving him 3848.1 for his career. In the 8th Madson threw a perfect inning, and Romero ended the game with a perfect 9th. Both now have an ERA under 3.00(Madson-2.96, Romero-2.93). Shane Victorino, Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, and Jayson Werth were a combined 3-16 with five strikeouts, four of them coming from Werth whose average dropped to .260. The two big lefties in the lineup, Howard and Ibanez were a combined 4-7 with 3 Home Runs, 4 Runs Batted In, and 4 Runs Scored. Ibanez had two of those homers and now has 24 on the year, while Howard now has 23. Utley and Ruiz both added doubles and Feliz added a single. Even Jamie managed to get a hit to help his own cause, meaning the only Phillies player not to get a hit in the starting lineup was Wert, in this 10 hit barrage. The Phillies are now 10 games over .500.
IronPigs: The Pigs won 5-4 over Rochester tonight at home. Former Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick, who is trying to regain his form looked like the Kyle we all liked throwing 8 innings of two run ball. He struck out 4, while lowering his ERA to 3.42 and only throwing 87 pitches before Sergio Escalona came in to give up two more runs, but Register was able to close it out for his 4th save of the season. Phillies prospect Michael Taylor was called up from Double A went 0-3 with a walk and a run scored in his debut. The offensive player of the game was Terry Tiffee who went 2-4 with two runs batted in, and a double.
R-Phils: The R-Phils lost 5-2 to New Britain tonight behind Yohan Flande.Flande was only able to last five innings and gave up five runs whil only striking out three. His ERA is not at 7.58 since the jump to Double A. Flande is used to dominating hitters because he has done that all through the minors, but this looks like a new challenge for the young prospect. Jeremy Slayden was 2-4 with a solo shot.
Threshers: The Threshers fell 4-3 to the Brevard County Manatees on their 80′s Night. Cloyd got the start and allowed three earned runs in 6.2 innings. Carlos Monasterios, who was acquired in the Abreu deal threw 1.1 perfect innings while striking out two.
BlueClaws: Lakewood was on the losing end of a 14-11 slugfest tonight. De Fratus allowed nine runs in four innings. Gose did something incredible and stole his 50th base of the year. Top 10 prospect Travis d’Arnaud was 4-5 and earned his 49th run batted in of the season. He has had a double, as did Collier. Gose ripped a triple as well and got his 34th run batted in.
CrossCutters: Williamsport won 3-1 over Brooklyn behind seven strong innings from Lebron, who improved to 3-1. Last years 1st Round Draft Pick Anthony Hewitt went 0-4 dropping his average to .216.
Rookie Phillies: The Rookie Phils blew out the Jays 9-1 today at Joe DiMaggio Sports Complex in Clearwater, FL. I was in attendance for the game to see Threshers SS Freddy Galvis and Phillies #1 Prospect Dominic Brown play in some rehab games. Also got to see our first pick in the 09 Draft, Kelly Dugan play. The three went a combined 3-11 with three runs scored and a run batted in. The majority of the offense came from 1B Darin Ruf and 3B Matthew McConnell who went a combined 4-8 with 3 RBI’s. Todd Van Steensel through six innings of 1-run ball while striking out seven with some amazing breaking pitches. Justin Beal and Harol Torentino threw 3 innings of hitless ball and struck out two.
