Trade more than just a rumour now.

Joseph Birmingham — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 18:31:01 +0000

It is looking more and more like the Phillies will acquire a new pitcher.

With Victorino, Rollins and Utley on the DL, and Moyer apparently done forever, the Phillies are trying to shore up a roster that looked a lot deeper and stronger at the beginning of the year then it does now.

Roy Oswalt may be the missing piece. Oswalt has not yet waived his no trade clause but appears very unhappy with his standing as the staff ace for… Finish Reading

Down goes Moyer

Eric Schwartz — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 02:29:24 +0000

Maybe Kyle Kendrick’s trip to the minors won’t be so permanent after all.

Phillies Starting pitcher Jamie Moyer strained his left elbow and was removed after one inning of Wednesday night’s game against St. Louis.

The 47-year-old Moyer threw 18 pitches in the first inning Tuesday night. When I hear the words “elbow strain” I don’t think short-term injury. Ye another trip for a Phillies player to the DL looks imminent.

Newly recalled Andrew Carpenter replaced Moyer in the second… Finish Reading

Happ back soon, so who goes?

Eric Schwartz — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 21:43:17 +0000

A forgotten man in the Phillies’ rotation is working his way back.

J.A. Happ, on the DL for almost the entire season, is set to make his fourth rehab start on Wednesday. After that he may be heading back to Philadelphia. Bellow is a report from philly.com:

Lefthander J.A. Happ (strained left elbow) said he will make his fourth rehab start Wednesday at double-A Reading.

Happ, who threw 71 pitches in his last start, said he is aiming for 90… Finish Reading

Halladay Loses Rematch

Erin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 18:32:27 +0000

In what was a rematch of his perfect game, Roy Halladay came out on the losing end Thursday, but mostly due to no offensive support. Philadelphia fell 2-0 against Josh Johnson and the Florida Marlins for their third loss in four games. The Phillies seemed to break out of their recent offensive slump, defeating the Marlins 10-8 Tuesday, but the team was only able to record four hits against Johnson last night.

Despite the loss,… Finish Reading

Moyer spits in face of Father Time

Eric Schwartz — Sat, 08 May 2010 04:11:21 +0000

Chipper Jones — or Larry Jones, as his birth certificate reads — hasn’t been too thrilled with his team’s offense lately.

One day after being no-hit by bellow-average pitcher Scott Olsen and the Nationals, Jones watched the Braves offense stink the joint up again.

This time they couldn’t hit the oldest man in the league, Jamie Moyer.

Just how old is Moyer?

It depends who you ask. Jones, for example thinks he’s pretty old.

“Jamie carved us tonight,” Jones said,… Finish Reading

Phillies offense on a tear

Joseph Birmingham — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 02:46:29 +0000

The Phillies put an exclamation point on their quick start this season by loading up early and often on the Nationals in their fifth meeting and winning 14-7.

Amid concerns that with the loss of Jimmy Rollins and Jaysen Werth, the team may struggle on offense; the rest of the team turned in another winning performance. Werth made a late performance as a pinch hitter so it seems obvious his absence from the starting lineup will be brief. Rollins calf… Finish Reading

Joseph Birmingham — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 16:37:25 +0000

The Phillies finished thier opening road trip with a 5-1 mark, representing thier best start for a season since 1993 when they started 7-1. Not only did they win 5 of 6 games but did so by outscoring the opponent 43-18.

Phillies name Jamie Moyer #5 starter

Eric Schwartz — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 21:28:57 +0000

The old man gets the nod.

The Phillies officially named Jamie Moyer the team’s fifth starter today.

Bellow is an excerpt from philly.com

“We think it’s the right way to go,” (pitching coach Rich) Dubee said. “Jamie proved that he’s healthy. That was the biggest question coming into spring training, how he’d come back from the surgeries. He’s throwing the ball well. He’s functioning well. And again, this guy has a tremendous track record of being a winning pitcher.”

Dubee… Finish Reading

Pleading the fifth: Moyer of Kendrick?

Eric Schwartz — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 21:27:55 +0000

Having won three straight NL East titles and appearing in the World Series the last two years, few questions surround the Phillies as they embark on the 2010 season next month.

And the questions that do exist — bounce back seasons from Brad Lidge and Cole Hamels — don’t pertain to the first week of the season so much as they do the season as a whole.

The team’s starting eight are assured. Ryan Howard and Chase Utley don’t exactly… Finish Reading
