The affiliated teams won five of six games on Saturday.  Lehigh Valley pulled off a sweep when they rallied in their suspended game and pitched a shutout in the nightcap.  Reading no-hit their opposition.  Jersey split a couple of low scoring games. And, Clearwater won a pitchers’ duel.  In all, our pitchers held the opposition to 7 runs on 25 hits in 6 contests.  Their combined line – 46.0 IP, 25 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 14 BB, 45 K, 2 HR, 1 HBP, 1 WP.  They threw 666 pitches, 420 strikes for a 63.1% strike rate.  That’s a little pedestrian, but the 666 and 420 just stood out.

If you subtract David Patterson’s line which actually happened Friday before the suspension, the line is even more impressive – 42.0 IP, 19 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 13 BB, 43 K, HBP, WP. Continue reading Phillies’ Affiliates’ Recap (7/3/2021) →

Remember the”Everybody hits!” guy from TV telecasts?  Well, the tag line from Wednesday’s game could be, “Everybody loses”.  There were three, one-run losses for Lehigh Valley, Reading, and Jersey Shore; and two routs of Clearwater and the FCL Phillies. Oh yeah, the parent club also imploded, too.

This is the Phuture Phillies’ recap for minor league discussion.  No Phillies talk here. Another oh yeah, while getting ready to score the FCL Phillies game, I saw Lee Hao Yu.  So he must have overcome his visa issues. Continue reading Phillies’ Affiliates’ Recap (6/30/2021) →
