Ross Gload: Where Does the Philadelphia Phillies Infielder Fit Into the Team’s Plans for the Future?
After two years as a pinch hitter and reserve first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, Ross Gload’s time with the team may be coming to a close.
The 35-year old hit .257 – just 24 points off his career average – but his power numbers were at an all-time low. Gload posted a .257/.276/.327 statline with a .603 OPS that was in Michael Martinez range.

The Philadelphia Phillies Absolutely Need to Put Ross Gload on the DL
Recently, news came out that reserve first baseman Ross Gload has been playing with a hip tear. Gload says he will play through the pain because he doesn’t want to have season-ending surgery.
Unfortunately, Gload is becoming a liability to the team. He’s a great pinch-hitter who leads the major leagues with eight pinch-hits, but he can’t physically play the field because of...

Philadelphia Phillies Reserve Infielder Ross Gload Should Be Having Season-Ending Surgery
Ross Gload has been playing through a hip tear, the team announced. He should be having season-ending surgery on the injury but he has reported that he will play through the pain.
Gload, 35, said the hip began bothering him back in mid-April, but he can minimize the pain by playing carefully. Gload is hitting .297 this year as a left-handed bat off the bench and a first baseman...

NormalBull: Former Bull Ross Gload had a monster night for the Phillies last night. Gload went 3 for 5 with 3 runs scored, 4 RBIs and 2 home runs. The Phillies wasted his efforts by losing to the Dodgers by a slow pitch softball score of 15-9. Still, a great game by an ex-Bull.Normal

Philadelphia Phillies Send John Mayberry, Jr. Back Down Again; Ross Gload Back
It’s been an interesting week for John Mayberry, Jr. He was chosen as the one to go to the DL when Shane Victorino returned from the disabled list.
However, Ross Gload – who many thought might be the odd man out when Victorino returned – took three days off for paternity leave, so Mayberry was recalled.
Now that Gload is back with the team, Mayberry was sent back down to Triple...

Why the Philadelphia Phillies Need to Put Ross Gload On the DL and Bring Up Matt Rizzotti
With the return of Shane Victorino to the Phillies’ lineup, many people thought Ross Gload might be put on the DL or Michael Martinez would be sent down to Triple-A. It turned out actually that John Mayberry, Jr. was the odd man out, as he was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley due to largely to a .194 batting average over the past month.
What that doesn’t negate is that the...

Phillies activate Victorino, keep Brown (for now)
It appears that an injury to Ross Gload has extended Domonic Brown's stay in the major leagues. With the Phillies activating Shane Victorino from the disabled list today, all indications were that the team was going to send Brown down to the minors so he could play every day. Instead, because of a groin injury to Gload that the team is calling day to day, Brown will remain...

Year in Review: Ross Gload
By: Jeff Nelson
Around this time last year one of Ruben Amaro Jr.’s main offseason priorities was to upgrade a bench that struggled mightily down the stretch and was later exposed in the World Series loss to the Yankees. About a month later during the winter meetings, Amaro signed the reigning 2009 pinch-hit-leader Ross Gload to a two-year $2.6MM deal, which ironically was the...

Another One Bites the Dust
Ross Gload just blew a tire as he smacked a double down the rightfield line and was forced to leave the game. Have no doubt, a trip to the disabled list is forthcoming. Now if this were the New York Metropolitans they would curl up in the fetal position sucking their thumb weeping for Mommy and sink below .500. This is the Phightin Phillies though, not a bunch of pantie-waste...

Martinez or Gload or Mayberry? Yes.
So Shane Victorino's coming back. Nice. He'll need a roster spot, though, which means somebody has to go. Paul Hagan wrote a little piece about who should make way for the Flyin' Hawaiian. His conclusion was that John Mayberry will/should be sent down because:- DL'ing Gload would leave the team without a lefty off the bench. [You can't count Martinez...]- Offering...

Brown’s 1st HR not Nearly Enough as Dodgers Rip Phils
Congrats to Domonic Brown. Excellent job, Ross Gload. Thanks for playing, Kyle Kendrick.
It was a night of highs and lows (mostly lows) in the Phillies 15-9 loss to the L.A. Dodgers in the series opener. Brown launched his first career home run in the sixth inning and knocked in a career high four runs, but the game was long gone before he even stepped to the plate for that first...
