Video: Nelson Cruz makes diving catch to rob Brandon Moss of hit
Tweet We may not see a catch made by an outfielder for the rest of the season better than the one Ben Revere made last month against the Cincinnati Reds. Or maybe we will. Wednesday, during the Texas Rangers’ 6-2 victory over the Oakland A’s, Rangers right fielder Nelson Cruz made a pretty impressive [...]
Yoenis Cespedes Makes The 2nd Best Catch Of The Year
Ben Revere is still #1,but this Yoenis Cespedes grab is a close #2. This was Mike Trout like from last year. I love the reaction of Kyle Seager, he is just smiling like “Seriously?”

Web Gems Of The Week: Kemp cannon, Andrus/Alexei barehanded, Revere/Domonic catches
Matt Kemp provided one of the few highlights for the Dodgers against the Giants.
Elvis Andrus and Alexei Ramirez decide to forgo usage of their gloves.

The Phils took the lead in the top of the first as, with two men on, and with one man out, Ryan Howard hits an RBI single, scoring Chase Utley, who had earlier hit an infield single, before moving up to second base on pitcher Tim Lincecum’s throwing error, giving the Phils...
Series Preview: Minnesota Twins (13-14) vs. Boston Red Sox (20-11)
Memories of the 2012 version of the Red Sox came flooding back over the weekend, as the local nine were swept in a three-game set against the Rangers in Arlington. Luckily for the Sox, a four-game series against a weak Minnesota Twins team awaits them at Fenway to kick off the homestand. The Twins (13-14), who are coming off a series in Cleveland in which they lost two out of...
May and Phillies trade talk, supporting cast failing to produce
Early May and the trade rumors are beginning to buzz around our Phillies who are ONLY 4 games behind the first place Braves. As we know, Ruben Amaro Jr. built this current roster around the aging core in hopes of one last push. The early problems of the Phillies, the cast that supports the aging core. Ben Revere, John Mayberry Jr and Dom Brown, .204, .225 and .260 stats that far...
Where's Ricky Otero When You Need Him?
from loyal reader 'Preserve Jon:'I'm really surprised how bad he is. It seems that Charlie is inventing a few nicks and scrapes to keep him on the bench. I was hoping for a younger version of Juan Pierre: pesky slap hitter who annoys pitchers with his speed and penchant to swipe a bag whenever he can.What I did not expect was Ricky Otero. If only we did have Ricky...
Exploring Revere’s Rocky Start
Things can’t get much worse for Ben Revere at the plate right now. Photo: AP
On December 6 of last year, the Phillies traded Vance Worley and top-prospect Trevor May to the Minnesota Twins for an exciting, young, free-swinging centerfield with a proclivity for putting the ball in play, finding ways to get on base and, once on, creating havoc with his blazing speed.
As of this post...
Phils Offense Needs Better Swings At The Plate
Bad swings are killing the Phillies in 2013. (PHOTO: AP)
The Phillies offense is clearly struggling this year. As a team, they are 8th in the NL in average, 12th in OBP, 10th in SLG, and 13th in OPS. The more in depth you go, the worse the stats get. I was looking for the root of the offensive woes when I came across their strikeout-to-walk ratio. I knew that they weren’t drawing...
Revere Out Of Lineup Tonight With Injured Ring Finger
The Philadelphia Phillies enter a four game weekend series against the Florida Marlins without center fielder Ben Revere, who jammed his right ring finger stealing a base against the Cleveland Indians last night.
According to Phillies MLB.com beat writer Todd Zolecki, Revere had his right ring and middle fingers wrapped before batting
practice. The injury puts John Mayberry...

Mayday! Mayday! The Phillies Are in Trouble
Yes, it is May. And yes, it is a new day. But although Wednesday’s May-day marked the start of a new month for the Phillies, it did not appear to be any different than the month of April; or any different than the year 2012, for that matter. Now, cries of “Mayday!” can be heard throughout Philadelphia. This team has serious problems.
Over 2 games against the Indians, the Phillies...
Mujica taking ownership of the ninth inning
St. Louis Edward Mujica says it happened in Philadelphia on April 18.
There the Cardinals reliever who had usually stuck to the seventh inning was, out on the mound in the ninth. Things weren't going very well. First, Phillies' outfielder Ben Revere had singled to center. Then, catcher Erik Kratz had singled to right. Runners stood on first and third with no outs, jeopardizing...
Twins' aggressiveness has slowed down on base paths
MINNEAPOLIS When the Minnesota Twins traded Ben Revere and Denard Span this offseason, they lost not only two starting outfielders but also two of the faster players on the team.
Revere led the Twins with 40 stolen bases last season, while Span swiped 17 bags. Also gone is infielder Alexi Casilla, who was tied for second on the Twins with 21 steals in 2012.
With those three no longer...

Philadelphia Phillies Need to Begin Rebuilding Phase, Blow Up Roster Immediately
The Philadelphia Phillies are now 23 games into their season, more than one-eighth of the way through, and they stand at 9-14. This was a team that didn’t just need, but was virtually required to get off to a decent start to prove this roster, however aged, could still win. Instead, the team finds itself 5 games under .500 almost a month into the season.
It is time to blow up the...
Great Eighth: Four-run eighth leads Phils past Cardinals
Ben Revere hit the go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning. The Phillies left the go-ahead run on third base in the sixth and seventh innings. Ben Revere was the one who stranded the runner in the sixth by grounding into a double play with the bases loaded to end...
What do the stats tell us about Ben Revere?
Did the Phillies get what they thought with Ben Revere? The stats certainly say no.
Schierholtz/Nix Fiasco Yet Another Miscalculation
The Phillies are getting absolutely nothing out of their outfield. In 183 at-bats, Phillies outfielders are batting .219 with five home runs.
Ben Revere hasn’t gotten off the ground, Laynce Nix and John Mayberry are doing pretty much what you’d expect in one outfield corner and Domonic Brown remains the wildly inconsistent, baseball version of Evan Turner.
The Phillies’ outfield...
Revere Should Stay at Top for Phillies
Charlie Manuel critics have been waiting to say I told you so. Today was their day. They say Charlie is stubborn and likes his set lineup. In that lineup he likes Jimmy Rollins in the lead off spot. It took him after 15 games or almost 10% into the season, but J-Roll is back to leading off.
In his first at bat he showed why he shouldn’t be there, and why some argued he never should...
Even Ben Revere’s awkwardly botched attempts at catches are spectacular (GIF)
Earlier this week, Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Ben Revere made an early entry into the “Catch of the Year” debate with his magnificent effort at tracking down and catching what appeared to be a sure-fire hit by Cincinnati Reds third baseman Todd Frazier.
On Wednesday, Revere demonstrated how even when he misses catches can be an awe-inspiring spectacle, due to the glorious...
You’re A Real Classy Bunch, Yankees Fans (Absolutely No Sarcasm This Time)
Actually, I should say that most baseball teams (if not all) and fans were class acts last night, as moments of silence were held in honor of the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing at ballparks across the country. More specifically, a number of parks played “Sweet Caroline” as well, as the song, of course, is a staple of Boston Red Sox and Fenway Park tradition.But because...
Phillies' Revere gets attention for glove
Ben Revere is getting so much attention for his glove - the way he used it and the message he taped to it - that he can't keep up with the calls.
Revere stuck a strip of white athletic tape to the back of his glove on Monday night, showing support for those wounded or killed in the Boston marathon bombings. He wrote the message, ''PRAY For Boston'' on the tape...
