J.C. Romero News

The Phillies improved to 5-0 in Atlanta this season and 7-1 overall in the season series.

He has enough power in his left arm to achieve dominance and a surname that, for a pitcher, is perfectly menacing.

This morning all the attention is on Charlie Manuel for leaving Jamie Moyer in one batter too many in last night's 5-2 loss to the team formerly known as the Philadelphia Athletics.

Kyle Kendrick and J.C. Romero combined on a four-hitter Wednesday, bringing Philadelphia a 4-0 win over Oakland.

It was one of the few mistakes Jamie Moyer made all night - an offspeed pitch, likely a changeup, that hung just a little too long over the good part of the plate.

The Phillies finished a three game sweep of the Braves without the help of a win from a starter during the sweep.

I love the smell of historic parallels in the morning. . . Last night we broached the subject of how this Phillies team compares to the one that ran all the way to the World Series 15 years ago.

Charlie Manuel saw Shane Victorino take off from first in the eighth inning with one out and knew he had the right horse in this particular race.

Joey Votto's two-out RBI double in the seventh inning spoiled Brett Myers' bid for a no-hitter, and Cincinnati beat Philadelphia 2-0 on Wednesday night behind another impressive start by Edinson Volquez.

It's amazing to me how similiar the 2008 Red Sox are to the 2007 Red Sox. There wasn't many ground breaking moves or changes in the lineup.

Shane Victorino's hometown of Wailuku, Hawaii, is separated from the nearest Major League ballpark by hundreds of miles of Pacific Ocean.

In their quest for another lefthander in the bullpen, the Phillies converted starters Josh Outman and Fabio Castro into relief roles earlier this month.

Many of us would rarely consider signing a middle reliever who isn't a threat for saves, someone like J.C. Romero or Ryan Madson, but if you want to take the larger view on good bullpens, look at Philadelphia.

When J.C. Romero struck out Atlanta's Greg Norton with two on and two outs in a one-run game Tuesday, he pumped his left arm before heading off the mound.

The Phillies have a tendency to guard their thoughts as if they were gold ingots at Fort Knox.
