Official Announcement: Blue Jays Series on the Move

By
As we discussed yesterday here on PhoulBallz.com, due to a conflict with the G20 Summit, the interleague match up between the Phillies and Blue Jays was in jeopardy of being moved out of Toronto's Rogers Centre, most likely to Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park. The series, scheduled for late June, would have featured former Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay's return to his former home.

Today, Major League Baseball announced a firm decision had been made to move the series to Philadelphia. The switch will give the Phillies 3 additional games in their home park this season, however, the Phillies will not actually be the home team.

The series will be played as though the Blue Jays are the hosts. In the three-game set, slated for June 25-27, the Blue Jays will be the home team (batting last) and the designated hitter will be used (as is the case in interleague games played only at American League parks).

The June 25th game will be played at 7:05pm. The June 26th game is scheduled for 1:35pm. The time for the June 27th has yet to be determined.

There has been no official announcement regarding tickets for the games. However, it could likely involve Toronto ticket holders being allowed an opportunity to exchange their tickets for seats at Citizens Bank Park.

Initially, reports out of Toronto had the Blue Jays ironing out plans to cancel one of the weekend games, and instead scheduling a double header for another day, to avoid conflict and congestion. However, that concept never came to fruition and the Blue Jays and MLB decided to move all the games, instead.

2017 Phillies Prospects Countdown: #4 OF Mickey Moniak

By
Mickey Moniak, image- Joe Wombough Taken with the top overall selection in last year's MLB amateur draft, outfielder Mickey Moniak has garnered a lot of attention as a highly promising talent in the Phillies' developmental ranks. After signing out of La Costa Canyon High School for a reported $6.1 million, the lefty batting Moniak had a very good professional debut. In 46 games with the Phillies' Gulf Coast League team, Moniak posted a .284 batting average with 11 doubles, four triples, a home run and 28 RBI.  Additionally, he showed some speed, swiping 10 bases in 14 opportunities. Following the regular season, Moniak participated in the Florida Instructional League and spent time at the Phillies' training facility in Clearwater, where he worked to add strength and muscle to his six-foot-two 185-pound frame. At the plate, Moniak, who was committed to play at UCLA prior to the 2016 draft, makes steady, hard contact.  He is touted as a line drive hitter tha...

Chris Truby Speaks on Santana & Other BlueClaws Matters

By
On Monday, it was announced that the Astros selected outfielder Domingo Santana as the player to be named later in the late July trade that sent Hunter Pence to the Phillies. Santana, a Dominican born slugger, posted a .269 average with 7 HR and 32 RBI in 96 games with the Class A Lakewood BlueClaws. The 19-year-old is regarded as a five tool talent and has been ranked among the Phillies' top ten prospects by multiple national outlets. I had the opportunity to speak with Lakewood manager Chris Truby about Santana, the PTBNL list of five Phillies prospects that the Astros had to choose from, as well as other matters pertaining to the BlueClaws, as they enter the final few weeks of their regular season. Check out the media player below to hear the full interview. ______________________________________________ You can follow PhoulBallz on Twitter by clicking HERE .

2019 Phillies Prospects Countdown: #9 OF Dylan Cozens

By
Dylan Cozens, image- Jay Floyd Powerful outfield prospect Dylan Cozens hopes to shake the reputation of a free swinger and become a more complete hitter in order to fulfill his dream of reaching the major leagues. At six feet six inches tall and weighing 245 pounds, Cozens has an imposing frame that was well-suited for the grid iron, as he was a two-sport star in his high school days.  After he was chosen in the 2nd round of the 2012 draft, Cozens debuted in the minors with the rookie level Gulf Coast Phillies. In 50 games there, he notched 15 doubles, two triples, five homers and 24 RBI. Cozens also participated in the Florida Instructional League in 2012. Following a productive spring in 2013, Cozens was retained in extended spring training and made his official season debut with the Class A short-season Williamsport Crosscutters when they began playing in June. Cozens was among the league leaders in many categories that year, ...
