| Player Notes |
| May 15, 2008 Will the real Brett Myers please take the mound? Myers took an 8-5 beating at the hands of the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night. The hard-throwing right-hander allowed eight runs (six earned) on nine hits, walking three and striking out six in 4.1 innings of work. |
| May 14, 2008 Philadelphia RHP Brett Myers suffered through a horrendous outing in the Phillies 8-5 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Myers lasted just 4 1/3 innings, giving up eight total runs (six earned) on nine hits, walking three and striking out six. |
| May 8, 2008 Brett Myers needed 101 pitches to get through five innings on Friday as he fell to 2-3 with a loss to the D'backs. Myers allowed seven runs, six earned, on nine hits and three walks. |
| May 2, 2008 According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Brett Myers is working to rediscover his fastball. The right-handed opening day starter for the Phils has been long-tossing, as pitching coach Rich Dubee had suggested. This, in the attempt to build arm strength. He also has looked at film. Myers, who will start tomorrow night against the San Francisco Giants at Citizens Bank Park, recently looked at film from starts last season against the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros. He thinks his lack of velocity has more to do with his legs than his arm. "I wasn't using my legs as much as I thought I was," Myers said. "In my last start [in Pittsburgh], my leg was straight and I wasn't getting any drive off of it." |
| April 17, 2008 Brett Myers allowed just one run over seven innings on Thursday to pick up his second victory of the season. Myers struck out eight Astros batters, walked only one, and allowed just five hits. |
| April 11, 2008 Brett Myers allowed three runs over eight innings to pick up his first victory of the season for the Phillies. Myers punched out five Cubs on the night, but he continues to be dogged by home runs, he allowed three solo shots on the night, which conspires to hold him back from joining the elite. |
| April 7, 2008 Brett Myers isn't throwing with his usual velocity, which may be the reason for his early struggles. "His fastball was sitting 89, 90, every now and then he touched 91. He's usually a 90-to-94 guy," manager Charlie Manuel tells the Philadelphia Daily News. "(On Saturday) he was throwing some breaking balls and looked like he was throwing splits, a changeup every now and then, mixing the fastball in, but he didn't have the velocity or the command on the fastball that he usually has." Myers says he feels fine, and his explanation for his problems is that he might be tipping some pitches. |
| March 31, 2008 Brett Myers was average on his return to the rotation. The right-hander tossed four scoreless innings, but his lack of conditioning cost him in the fifth. Myers allowed four runs (three earned) and five hits in five innings. He also walked two and hit two batters while striking out two. |
| March 26, 2008 Brett Myers improved his record to 3-0 against the Yankees on Wednesday as he held the team scoreless over five innings, with a mere two hits allowed and three strikeouts. He maintains a stellar 1.13 spring ERA and he should continue to climb up draft boards. |
| March 26, 2008 Brett Myers tossed five scoreless innings against the Yankees on Wednesday. He allowed two hits, walked two, and struck out three. His spring ERA is down to 1.13, and he appears ready to start the season. |
| March 11, 2008 Brett Myers has been performing well as he left the bullpen to re-join the Phillies' rotation, according to the Philadelphia Enquirer. He has been the only starter who has been consistently solid this spring and said this about leaving his closer's role, "I liked closing last year. That's no secret. But I like starting, too, because I'm getting the opportunity to pitch. I'm not going to be a selfish guy and whine and complain because they had to make a move. I'm not that type of guy. It's a little easier in spring training, because we're all pretty much spread out all over the place, and there's plenty of things going on. During the season, it's going to hurt a little bit, but we'll see." Myers notably won 25 games from 2005 to 2006 and was establishing himself as a strong starting pitcher before he moved to the pen. |
| March 5, 2008 Brett Myers worked four scoreless innings in his spring debut on Wednesday. He held the Blue Jays to three hits, walked none, and struck out one. It's good to see him stretch it out a little after spending most of 2007 in the bullpen. |
| February 26, 2008 Phillies manager Charlie Manuel announced Tuesday that Brett Myers will get the ball to start their season opener versus the Nationals, according to MLB.com. "Absolutely," Myers said, asked if he was shocked. "[Cole] Hamels had a great year last year. "It's going to be hard for me to take over that No. 1 one spot after he had that year, so I'm going to have to work a little bit harder to earn that spot." Sounds like Manuel's giving Myers a little gift for returning to the rotation after spending most of last season in the bullpen. Hamels will start the Phillies' second contest. |
