Baby Hamels better let Cole sleep
October 20th, 2009 · No Comments · Philadelphia Phillies
How smart are the Phillies?
We might be about to find out.
Hopefully, the Phillies have put up young Cole Hamels at a hotel for the night. We have no way of knowing if this indeed will happen. This is purely speculation.
We all remember that Cole’s wife, Heidi, went into labor the day he lost his start [...]

Uncle Charlie's mis-Happ
October 17th, 2009 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel has seemingly pulled all the right strings during the postseason. Yesterday, he caused a critical mis-Happ with the way he used his pitching staff, specifically JA Happ.
Happ was one of the team’s most consistent starting pitchers all year long. The rookie-of-the-year candidate posted a 12-3 record and 2.93 ERA in 35 [...]

Dodgers walk past Phillies, 2-1, to tie NLCS
October 17th, 2009 · No Comments · MLB, Philadelphia Phillies
The bullpen has been the Phillies Achilles heal for most of August and September. On Friday, the heel completely ruptured and cost the Phillies a potential 2-0 lead in the NLCS.

Chan Ho Park key to Game 2
October 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Philadelphia Phillies
With Pedro Martinez set to face the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS, the Phillies know they’ll need their bullpen to come up big and keep the Dodgers from crossing home plate.
Martinez doesn’t throw more than one hundred pitches per start, and likely won’t go more than five innings.
After getting just 5.1 innings from [...]
