Joe Jordan "expects" Cody Asche to begin the season back at Reading, not at Lehigh Valley. However, he's already learned to expect the unexpected from the 22-year-old third baseman. "If he starts at Double-A, that’s kind of what I’m expecting,...

It isn't often that Kurt Landes and his staff are caught unprepared. But it happened Monday night. "We really weren't expecting that rain at 6:45 [p.m.]," the IronPigs general manager said of the sudden cloudburst that ultimately led to the postponement...

This is certainly not how Brian Schneider envisioned the last six weeks of the season going. Just 25 days after coming off the disabled list (right ankle sprain), the Northampton graduate is back there again, this time with a left......

Today is supposed to feature a new "What Is It?" but the Phillies shakeup -- which also affected the IronPigs in a big way -- is so fresh that I decided to go with that instead. I'll post "What Is......

Sebastian Valle and Cesar Hernandez are probably the two best position prospects in the Phillies minor league system. Both will make their IronPigs debut tonight against Pawtucket after being promoted from Double-A Reading on Wednesday. Hernandez is...

The IronPigs' two representatives for Wednesday's Triple-AAll-Star game in Buffalo represent the two opposite ends of the spectrums of baseball's highest minor league classification. Second baseman Kevin Frandsen has appeared in 228 major league games...

The home-town fans will have plenty to cheer for in next month's Eastern League all-star game at Reading's FirstEnergy Stadium. Six Reading Phillies were selected to play in the game -- first baseman Daren Ruf, second baseman Carlos Hernandez, shorstop...

RHP Trevor May, the Phillies No. 1 prospect, had the shortest start of his pro career last Sunday at Erie when the Seawolves bombed him for eight hits and seven runs in two innings, sending his ERA from 2.91 to 4.10. Reading rallied take him of the hook...
