Do not adjust your browser, this is not a duplicate game recap. Charlie Manuel mismanaged his bullpen and led the Phillies to lose what was otherwise a very winnable game. The Braves won in the eleventh inning on a Chipper ...

Pence’s Plummeting Production
by Bill Baer on Tuesday, May 1st, 2012Posted in MLB, Philadelphia Phillies, Sabermetrics | 27 Comments »
The Phillies' start to the season offensively as a whole has been disappointing, but no one individual has so far failed to live up to expectations quite like Hunter Pence. Pence had a career year in 2011, posting a career-high ...

The Phillies are 9-11, five games back of first place in the NL East. Slow April starts are nothing new, but the past few years have featured more talent (on paper) than this year's squad, leading to more confidence on ...

by Bill Baer on Friday, April 27th, 2012Posted in Game Threads, MLB, Philadelphia Phillies | 80 Comments »
With the way the Phillies have hit over the first three weeks of the season, you'd be hard-pressed to find a similarly-impotent offense in the National League. Fortunately for the Phillies, one of them is in town tonight for the ...
