Covering Phillies baseball from the majors to the minors – Established 2003
Darick Hall is certifiably hot and the International League has taken notice. The IronPigs first baseman won his second straight Player of the Week award for the week ending May 1. For the week, Hall hit .360 (9-for-25) with an on-base percentage of .429 and a slugging percentage of 1.040 in six games with Lehigh […]
Teams had until noon Monday (May 2) to cut their major league rosters down from 28 to 26 players. The higher roster number was incorporated because of the shortened spring training brought on by the lockout endured by Major League Baseball and the Player’s Association over the winter. To get to the lower limit, the […]
Darick Hall remains the hottest Pig in all the land and Painter remains the master for Clearwater. As the calendar flipped to May, we take a look at just what was happening throughout the Phillies minor league system on Sunday. R H E Lehigh Valley 9 17 0 Scranton/Wilkes-Barre 3 10 1 GRAB A BAT… […]
The first calendar month of the season is over. With that in mind, we take a look at the top five hitters by average for the Phillies and each of their minor league affiliates. All players are subject to having as many plate appearances as are required to qualify to be listed among league leaders […]
On Friday, Kyle Schwarber drew three walks, stole a base and threw a runner out on the basepaths against the Mets and the New Yorkers were very happy about that. At least he wasn’t pounding them the way he normally does when he faces Mets’ pitching. On Saturday, the Mets were remembered just why they […]
Tylor Megill and the Mets were the first combination to shutout the Phillies this season and Friday night, Megill and four relievers combined to no-hit the Phillies, beating them 3-0 at CitiField. The win pushed the Phillies further back from the division leading Mets who have the best record in the NL. R H E […]

The Phillies stretched their season-high three-game winning streak to four games Thursday with a 7-1 win over the Rockies, who were the victims in each of the Phillies wins. In the four games, the Phillies outscored Colorado 32-9 after having scored 64 runs in their first 16 games of the season. In addition to adding […]
It was a tough night for pitching in the Lehigh Valley with both Reading and Jersey Shore giving up 10 runs and Lehigh Valley’s bullpen coming apart late in the game to sink the IronPigs. The only pitching success of the night came from the Clearwater Threshers who won 6-1. R H E Lehigh Valley […]
Bailey Falter (0-1, 4.91) wasn’t exactly putting himself into any postseason awards discussions in his four games with the Phillies, but that’s not why he was moved to Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
