Phillies Nation TV: Halladay’s Shoulder, Biddle at Reading
Here is the latest episode of Phillies Nation TV with Pat Gallen, Corey Seidman, Ryann Williams, and Jay Floyd.
Pat got a chance to speak with a local doctor about what goes into a surgery like the one Roy Halladay will undergo. Jay spoke with top minor league prospect Jesse Biddle at Reading, and he talked about what it would be like to get the call to the bigs.
Philadelphia Phillies storyline: Getting younger
On the offensive side of the ball, there are important slots for the Philadelphia Phillies to fill, and Michael Young can handle more than one. While Michael can be effective in the 2 and 3 holes, Delmon Young is better suited hitting behind Ryan Howard.

Could Phillies Second Baseman Chase Utley Be Hurt?
Chase Utley will not be in the Phillies' lineup today. Why? Interesting theory put forth today by the guys at the Tailgating a Funeral podcast. Utley not playing tonight with off days yesterday and Thursday is a complete joke. He has to be hurt. Charlie isn't that stupid. — Tailgating...
Day Before Surgery, Halladay Celebrates (?) 36th Birthday
It’s unlikely Roy Halladay was out last night at the local dive bar, tossing back shots and celebrating another year on earth. Besides, he’s got too much work to do, and that begins with shoulder surgery tomorrow in Los Angeles.
Halladay, who turned 36 today, will have bone chips, a frayed labrum, and a partially torn rotator cuff scoped by Dr. Neil ElAttrache, and will miss...

Panic or Press On? Adams Out With Spasms
According to CSN’s Jim Salisbury, Mike Adams sat out of yesterday’s finale with the Diamondbacks due to back spasms. Salisbury states Adams informed the team in the sixth inning and will be day-to-day. The issue is only anticipated to last a few days and might explain why Adams’s last seven outings where he wasn’t quite himself (4.50 ERA, .304/.407/.478 against). However...

Chase Utley is having a weird season
Last night might have been the most complete offensive effort all season for the Phillies. While 10 hits and 6 runs is hopefully a sign of things to come, it has not been a common occurrence for the 12th ranked Phillies offense. With 33 games in the books, we should now be at the point where their personality begins to arise.
So, what is the identity of the 2013 Phillies offense?
Phillies Must Do The Right Thing And Sell
There has been plenty of buzz lately about retooling the Phillies, including a piece today in the Daily News from Dave Murphy. The Phillies have gotten older, are less productive than their glory days, and as a team no longer work. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Ruiz, Michael...
