The Phillies started this road trip off in a bad way by being swept in Miami. This week, they'll play a three-game set in New York against the Mets before headed home to host the Braves for a weekend series to close out the first half of the year. Today Vance Worley (4-4, 2.92 ERA) will get the start against the Mets while Jonathan Niese (6-3, 3.55 ERA) will be his counterpart.
Worley is coming off of a strong winning outing against the Pirates. On Tuesday, Worley tossed six innings, allowing three earned on six hits while walking two and striking out five. This will be Worley's first start with a week's rest all season and he will look to keep his command and velocity at the right spot. In his last three starts, Worley is 1-2 with a 2.70 ERA and tonight will be his second start against the Mets this season. Back on April 14, Worley was held accountable for four earned runs on eight hits through six innings in a losing decision against the Mets. In his career, Worley ha...

The Phillies have three options with Cole Hamels, none of which is clear cut. It’s a great year to have a trade asset like Hamels — the added wild card teams in each league will make more teams buyers — but the Phillies are in a unique position.
The Phils were nine games under .500 entering play Tuesday at Citi Field. It was their worst record through 81 games since 1997 and...

A season to be expected for the reeling Phillies
Rewind to 2011: On that fateful October night, as Ryan Howard left the batter’s box and never made it to first that was the first time I predicted the fate of the 2012 Phillies. There was no other way for this season to go than the way it has to date. The unthinkable has happened. The Phillies currently sit in last place and, according to ESPN.com, have a 3.2% chance of...
