Ouch. The Phillies scored six runs in the 9th inning off the triumvirate of Duaner Sanchez Joe Smith and Pedro Feliciano to defeat the Mets by a score of 8-6 tonight at Shea. Chad Durbin got the win, and Smith took the loss. Brad Lidge closed it for his 22nd save. One of my Keys to [...]

Ryan Howard tied teammate Chase Utley for the league lead in home runs (25) an inning after the Cardinals tied the game off J.A. Happ and Chad Durbin. The Phillies held on to win 4-2 and host the series finale this afternoon. The Phillies' cleanup hitter is nothing if he’s not unique. His 80 RBIs sets a new club record for RBIs before the All-Star break. At the same time, he’s set to annihilate his...

CHAD DURBIN had thrown more than 60 pitches in the last 3 days, Rudy Seanez had back spasms, and a newly called up lefthander with a 55-mph curveball was the freshest arm in the bullpen.

The Mets avoided another devastating loss in a season filled with them when Fernando Tatis connected off Chad Durbin with one out in the 12th inning.

The Mets overcame rain delays and a blown save to defeat the Phillies by a score of 4-2. Joe Smith got the win for the Mets, and Chad Durbin got the loss for the Phils. A few notes: Carlos Beltran hit a solo homer, his 13th of the year, in the third inning to put the Mets [...]

That loss was a giant kick in the nuts. After the 9th inning homer by Jayson Werth off of the Rat, I thought for sure the Phils would pull it out. But it just wasn't to be. A Fernando Tatis homer off Chad Durbin? Crap. I'm going to make three nominees for "Loser Of The Game." 1) Charlie Manuel - He made some real interesting decisions yesterday. - With the Mets up 1-0 in the bottom of the eighth, Pat...

ATLANTA - The Phillies said they never considered moving righthander Chad Durbin from the bullpen to the rotation to replace Brett Myers.

The year was 2006 and Phillies GM Pat Gillick was in search of an arm that could spot start, as well as do long and short relief (2008's Chad Durbin). Gillick's quest guided him to Ryan Franklin...he was misguided! Franklin soon became a whipping boy for the fans as he lost 5 games in relief while surrendering 10 homeruns. By the beginning of August Gillick had seen enough and shipped him to Cincy...

I'll finish off the final part, part 3 of this series, by studying a few relief pitchers-- Brad Lidge, Chad Durbin, and J.C. Romero. Unsurprisingly, their performances are all pretty flukey. The Phillies bullpen has been great this year, and these three guys are a big part of the reason why. In fact, the bullpen has been a main contributor to the team's success. My best guess is that if the Phillies...

PREGAME: Last night’s win was great and dramatic and uplifting. It reminded me in some respects of a dramatic come from behind victory against the Blue Jays last September. The win was supposed to propel the team back into the playoff hunt. Instead Chad Durbin came out and gave up 5 [...]
