Blogging about the 5x NL East Champion Phillies
Well it looks like some of the key parts to both World Series runs have found new homes this offseason. After Chris Coste went to the Mets, Pedro Feliz to Houston, and Scott Eyre retired, the Phillies saw two more guys leave for not-so-greener pastures. Brett Myers just signed with the Houston Astros today, another former Phillie Ed Wade … Continue reading Former Phils on the Move
The Phillies offered Joe Blanton, Shane Victorino, and Carlos Ruiz 2010 contracts. They also had to choose between Clay Condrey and Chad Durbin and picked Durbin, according to Todd Zolecki. Zolecki feels that the reason they didn’t offer Condrey a contract was that because it would go to arbitration, the Phillies would feel that he would win and make … Continue reading Condrey Not Offered a Contract
The Phillies have a lot of work ahead of them this off season. With only 12 players locked on for next year, not including arbitration eligible players like Shane Victorino, Clay Condrey, and Joe Blanton, the Phillies will look to bolster their bench and bull pen. In his article yesterday, David Murphy of the Philadelphia Inquirer … Continue reading Murphy Talks About Bench Options
Player: Chad DurbinNumber: 37Position: RPBats/Throws: R/R Consistency: Durbin has not been that good all year. He started out rocky, settled down a bit in June and then saw his ERA sky-rocket until he pitched an effective September that was beneficial for the Phillies in closing out the season. His 59 appearances were the third highest … Continue reading PRC: Chad Durbin
Player: Clay CondreyNumber: 55Position: RPBats/Throws: R/R Consistency: Condrey was actually one of their best righties all year. He started out real well until June when he got whacked around by AL hitting. He was then hurt in July, came back, and then missed all of August but bounced back to pitch steady towards the end … Continue reading PRC: Clay Condrey
*photo from “We Should Be GM’s” Brad Lidge was back to his usual self once again. While everyone is counting down the Phillies magic number (5 for Atlanta and 4 for Florida), I’m counting up for Lidge’s blown save total. He is currently sitting at 11. That is absolute garbage. Some consider this the best … Continue reading Bad Time For Blown Saves
A day after the Phillies purchased injured pitcher John Ennis, the Phillies called up Jack Taschner to the bull pen. He’s 1-1 with a 5.20 ERA in 21 appearances before he was previously designated for assignment two months ago. He went 0-2 with two saves and a 2.08 ERA and a .213 OBA with Triple … Continue reading Roster Moves
Clay Condrey was put back on the 15-day DL and Andrew Carpenter was dropped back to AAA. In there places comes Steve Register (who pitched last night) and, sit down before reading this,…. Kyle Kendrick. This should really inspire our rotation to pitch well enough to go seven innings every start.
Tonight: Happ (5-0, 3.00), Vazquez, J (5-7, 3.04) After dropping the first two games of the series to the Braves, the Phillies will try to rebound and get a win going into the crucial 10-game home stand starting versus New York. At this rate, the Phillies could easily be in second by the break or … Continue reading Happ On Mound Tonight
Ryan Howard gets hit with the flu bug. Clay Condrey gets hit with the injury bug. That little pest has been plaguing the Phillies clubhouse the past two weeks, starting with Brad Lidge and being passed on to Scott Eyre and Raul Ibanez. Now it’s Condrey’s turn. Condrey was put on the 15-day DL after … Continue reading Clay Condrey to the DL
