Box Score Recap – 7/21/2016

Box Score Recap, , , ,

Will Morris teased Threshers’ fans with a perfect game into the sixth inning.  He walked two batters with two out in the inning and took his no-no into the seventh.  A one-out HR ended both the no-hitter and the shutout.  He completed the inning and turned the final two innings over to the bullpen. He finished with a combined two-hitter.

Bailey Falter tossed six shutout innings for Williamsport.  He struck out ten and walked one, but didn’t figure in the decision.

Offensively, Rhys hit another home run, his 27th.

And, Jhailyn crushed another Continue reading Box Score Recap – 7/21/2016 →

Box Score Recap – 7/20/2016

Box Score Recap, , , ,

Here is the guaranteed, 100% accurate Box Score Report.  It took me less than 10 minutes from scratch.  I would love to only have to invest that much time on this, especially on days like today when I’ll be up early to prepare to be a guest on an affiliated beat writer’s podcast at 10:00AM, watch the GCL game from noon to 3:00PM, arrive at Bright House Field at 6:00PM to watch the Threshers until completion around 9:30PM, and then go home and produce the normal Box Score Report.  Note that those date stamps on reports of 2:00AM to 3:00AM are CST, probably where the WordPress server is located.  So, I’m actually posting an hour later in EST.   Continue reading Box Score Recap – 7/20/2016 →

Box Score Recap – 7/19/2016

Box Score Recap, , , ,

Tuesday’s highlights included Lehigh Valley’s David Buchanan coming within one batter of a complete game shutout, Reading’s Dylan Cozens two-hit, two-RBI game, and Mitch Walding’s three-hit, three-RBI game.  Walding’s three RBI all came with two outs on three different occasions.

Nick Fanti tossed five no-hit innings, striking out ten.  Sixto Sanchez had pitched three no-hit innings before the game was suspended on Monday.  A third pitcher lost the no-hitter and the shutout in the ninth inning.  Loads of photos and video from the GCL game in the report below.

And down in the Dominican Summer League, Oscar Marcelino pitched two-hit ball for six innings, and Jesus De Los Santos six hits in seven innings.

Falter and Ortiz Lead de Armas’ Team to XST Win; April 29, 2016

Other Stuff,

The Phillies traveled to the Blue Jays Spring Training Complex to play a pair of XST games today.  Bailey Falter started for Coach Roly de Armas and provided three solid, shutout innings.  Enger Jimenez had a couple RBIs.  And Jhailyn Ortiz picked up a couple of outfield assists as the Phillies won 5-1.

While the Phillies were beating the Astros in Bright House Field, several pitchers who missed facing live hitters due to Saturday’s cancellation got their work pitching for Groups 3 and 4 against the Pirates.  This was to the chagrin of most observers who would rather that the young pitchers in the organization not lose 6-7 innings to pitchers who are likely to be released or end up in Lehigh Valley.

Rainy day here in Florida.  The Phillies 1:00PM start against the Blue Jays in Dunedin was cancelled.  Today out will be their last day off down here barring another rain out.  Over at the Carpenter Complex, the minor league games were moved up to 10:00AM to beat the weather.  Nice try.  A lightning strike in the distance over Bright House Field signaled the end of baseball before 11:00AM.   Continue reading 2016 Spring Training, March 19th →

The Phillies lost their St. Patrick’s Day game against the Tampa Bay Rays, 5-1.  But the offense returned Friday with a 15-12 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.  The Phillies fell behind 5-0, scored 9 runs in the 4th inning, 6 more in the 5th , and allowed 7 runs over the final 3 innings.  Maikel Franco hit his 7th HR, Peter Bourjos hit his 1st, Ryan Howard blasted his second, a grand slam, over the batter’s eye in center, and Cameron Rupp hit his third.  The Phillies opted to play without a DH and starter Charlie Morton went 0-2 with an RBI and a run scored.  Luis Garcia struck out 3 in 1.1 IP.  The Pirates only brought 2 starters – RF Polanco and C Cervelli.  Freese made the trip as a DH.

Lots of stuff going on today at Bright House, the Carpenter Complex, and on the transaction wire.   Continue reading 2016 Spring Training, March 18th →

The Phillies were scheduled off today as they prepare for their big St. Patrick’s Day game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Two Class A groups faced the Pirates Class A teams at the Carpenter Complex.  I don’t have much velocity to report or game action for that matter.  But I have a lot of video. Continue reading 2016 Spring Training, March 16th →

Saturday, the Phillies beat R.A. Dickey and most of the Blue Jays starting line up 8-5.  Vince Velasquez pitched four, 2-run innings;  and David Lough, J.P. Arencibia, and Nick Williams hit home runs leading a 14-hit attack.  Yoervis Medina struck out the side in the ninth.  The Phillies are 9-3 and have the second best record in the Grapefruit League.

Over at the Complex, a drama that will go a long way to determining the success of the Phillies’ regular season was held.  It drew at least six coaches as spectators, as well as Matt Klentak and Joe Jordan.  Jerad Eickhoff threw to live hitters for the first time since suffering a thumb injury before spring training started.  I don’t think it went well.

Thursday, the Phillies traveled to central Florida and whipped the Atlanta Braves 9-2, pushing their spring record to 8-3-2. Former Phillies Michael Bourn and Kyle Kendrick started for Atlanta.  Bourn went 1-3.  He fared better than Kendrick who faced 16 batters in 1.2 innings and allowed 7 ER on 9 hits and 2 walks.  The Phillies put up double digit hits again (16).  Ryan Howard returned from an illness and recorded his first spring base hit. Roman Quinn posted his third triple in 18 at bats.  Meanwhile, back at the Complex in Clearwater, the Phillies held two more intrasquad games at minor league camp.
