PhoulBallz.com Interviews Vance Worley

By
Vance Worley is currently a starting pitcher for the Double A level Reading Phillies. Last season, along with Mike Stutes, Worley became the first pitcher in the Phillies organization since Randy Wolf to begin the season at Double A the year after he was drafted, completely skipping High A level Clearwater. In his time with Reading, Vance is a two-time Eastern League All-star.

This season, Worley has posted an 8-4 record with a with a 3.44 ERA. This week, Worley was named Eastern League pitcher of the week for hurling a complete game shut out against Harrisburg in his last start. Worley topped off that amazing outing by contributing at the plate with a homerun.

Check out the media player below to listen to my interview with Vance, recorded prior to Reading's game in Trenton on Thursday.

What the hell else was I going to write about...?

It will be too late for many people's liking, but it's really about time to NEVER USE BRAD LIDGE IN A SAVE SITUATION ON THE ROAD AGAIN. Lidge in 2009 road games- 0-6, 8.10 ERA, 15 saves, 10 blown saves. One of my favorite statistics that I regularly update here on PhoulBallz is the percentage of games that Brad Lidge has allowed earned runs in this season, compared to the 18% he allowed in 2008. This year, Lidge has allowed earned runs in 43% of his outings. And, as a reminder, in 2007 Brett Myers allowed earned runs in just 21% of his relief appearances. Considering Lidge's season-long struggles, what is the solution when Brett Myers is ailing with a back muscle/shoulder injury, when Chan Ho Park has an injured hamstring, when Ryan Madson looks just as inept in the 9th inning as Brad Lidge seems and when JC Romero is still unavailable to pitch due to a forearm injury? Well, on Wednesday night, with Hanley Ramirez batting with two outs and the tying run on 3rd base, your an...
