Phil Klein had the best pitching line today, tossing eight, two-hit innings. The best of the rest included HR/RBI by Reading’s Dylan Cozens (33/105) and Clearwater’ Kyle Martin (16/68). The Threshers’ Zach Green got his 63rd RBI. Lakewood’s Jose Pujols got three hits and his 74th RBI. And, Enmanuel Garcia hit his second HR for Williamsport.

Box Score Recap – 8/13/2016
The top two teams in the organization lost again. Brock Stassi hit his ninth home run but also took the loss for Lehigh when he was called upon to pitch in the 13th inning. Scott Kingery and KC Serna provided all four of Reading’s hits.
Elniery Garcia returned to action and threw six shutout innings for Clearwater. Kyle Martin hit his 15th home run. Chace Numata had two more hits and raised his average to .319.
Lakewood got six strong innings from Alberto Tirado and a balanced 14-hit attack. “C” Randolph had 3 hits. Four other guys had multi-hit games.
Nick Fanti had another good outing for the GCL Phillies. The team pulled out an opportunistic 7-6 a win even though they were out hit 13-5. Cole Stobbe had two hits. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 8/13/2016

Not a good night for teams above the Rookie League. Only the GCL Phillies were able to post a win yesterday. Both Dominican teams were rained out.
It was Sanchez Day at the Complex, and he didn’t disappoint.
Elsewhere, Roman Quinn garnered three outfield assists, Mitch Walding hit his second “waldinger”, Chace Numata raised his average to .316 with a couple hits, Jiandido Tromp hit his seventh home run, Jose Pujols hit his 22nd home run, and the GCL Phillies ended preserved their win over the Yankees with a routine 8-2-5 double play.

We got good starting pitching from Anthony Vasquez for Lehigh Valley, Brandon for Clearwater, and Luis Carrasco for the GCL Phillies.
Rain caused cancellations in Reading and one of the Dominican League games. Rain also caused a suspension and ultimately a cancellation of game two in Williamsport. Rain shortened the IronPigs’ game to five innings. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 8/11/2016

Lakewood and the two Dominican summer league teams were the only winners in the organization yesterday. Clearwater and Williamsport were postponed due to wet grounds. I guess this shouldn’t be a surprise due to their close proximity (jk).
The GCL wasted a fine effort from starter Will Stewart. Reliever Reiwal Gonzalez had a dominant outing in the DSL. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 8/10/2016
The 20-80 Scouting Scale or Why the Phillies DON’T Have a #1 and Maybe Not Even a #2
(This article was originally posted as the major portion of an open discussion published during the off-season following the 2015 season. I have intended to publish it separately so that I could add it to the site’s menu. I felt it a little presumptive to add it to James’ Primer, but there is really no better spot for it. Anyway, there have been a few references to it the past week or two, so I felt I should get it published and linked for reference. It is almost word-for-word with the original discussion which I have placed here. You may find the comments to the original interesting. This article will go on the Primer drop down menu.)
I know this could be viewed as a patently absurd statement. Continue reading The 20-80 Scouting Scale or Why the Phillies DON’T Have a #1 and Maybe Not Even a #2
Box Score Recap – 8/9/2016
Last night was the Night of the Strike Out.
In Lehigh, starters Phil Klein and Chad Green (Scranton) struck out 10 opponents each (in 5 innings). The pitching staffs combined to strike out 26 batters (13 for each team).
In Binghamton, fans also saw 26 strike outs, 14 by Phils’ pitchers and 12 by Mets’ pitchers. Tom Eshelman shone with 11 K in six innings.
In Clearwater, 13 Threshers struck out, but only 9 Yankees.
On the road, Lakewood’s Franklyn Kilome struck out 11 of the 17 batters that BlueClaws’ pitchers rang up at Delmarva.
But, in Williamsport, 6 errors and 3 passed balls over shadowed such trivial outcomes as strike outs.
Oh, Rhys Hoskins hit his 35th and collected his 104th RBI.
Oh, oh! Carlos Alonso announced his retirement and has accepted a position as a coach in Williamsport. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 8/9/2016

The stateside starters provided sound pitching as Clearwater, Lakewood, and Williamsport won. Clearwater moved back into first place in the FSL North.
The Threshers were powered by Aaron Brown’s 3-run HR, and Derek Campbell’s two HR, a solo and a grand slam.
The BlueClaws got support from Damek Tomscha in the ninth and Grenny Cumana in the tenth.
And, the Crosscutters needed only a little help behind Felix Paulino’s masterpiece. They got a solo HR from Darick Hall. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 8/8/2016
Open Discussion: Week of August 8th
Here’s the open discussion thread for Phillies’ talk and other topics.
The Phillies completed a 4-2 week. they took 2 of 3 from the Giants at home then flew to San Diego and took 2 of 3 from the Padres. Their record stands at 52-61 (8-13 since the break). The Phillies travel to Los Angeles for three games with the Dodgers (Urias, Maeda, Kazmir) then return home for a 9-game home stand that starts with the Rockies.
Box Score Recap – 8/7/2016
Three of the organization’s four teams that played on Sunday won, and scored double digit runs while doing so. They also received good starting pitching from Ben Lively (LHV), Nick Pivetta (REA), and Alberto Tirado (LAK); and good relief work from the Lehigh and Reading bullpens. With all the run support, you would expect a lot of home runs from the usual suspects. However, only Cedric Hunter, Andrew Pullin, and Gabriel Lino came through in that regard.
