Tyler Cloyd Interview Excerpts

On Friday, right-handed starting pitcher Tyler Cloyd was promoted from Double-A Reading Phillies to the Triple-A Lehigh Valley IronPigs. Cloyd opened the season with Lehigh Valley, as he made a spot start for suspended hurler Dave Bush, but has been dominating the Eastern League since then.

Overall in 5 starts this season, Cloyd, the Phillies' 18th round draft pick from 2008, posted a 4-0 record with a 1.45 ERA and a .200 batting average against.

Last week, this site featured a profile piece on Cloyd that can be found by clicking here.

Below are some interview excerpts from recent my one-on-one interview with the Nebraska native. Use the media player to hear what Cloyd had to say about his solid success this season, his time at four levels with manager Dusty Wathan and more.

Harry Kalas Phorever...

Legendary broadcaster Harry Kalas passed away today. Harry collapsed while preparing to call today's game against the Washington Nationals. So many phans will feel as though we've lost a member of our own families. I feel as though I've lost a part of myself, but Harry enhanced my love of the great sport we call baseball and I will always carry that love, and Harry, in my heart. I've stated on this page before that I consider Harry more of a Phillie than anyone who wears the uniform as an active member of the roster. Harry Kalas was a Phillie. Moreso, Harry Kalas was the Phillies. Please share your thoughts and memories of Harry in the comments section, or send them to PhoulBallz (at) verizon (dot) net.

Ryan Madson is acting questionable

I've seen similar types of "poking fun" entries on other Phillies blogs. When this picture came across my desk today, I figured, "Why not...?" Ryan Madson was out on the town (Manayunk) over the weekend and was photographed acting pretty with a purse slung over his shoulder and being chummy with a friend of mine. Can I really call him a friend, if he's actually my friends' friend , and I only prank called him once? Sure, why the heck not?!
