[TruffleShuffle]

[J.R.]

Hamels WTF.

[Careless]

Love those Philly fans

[TruffleShuffle]

hamels just isn't good any more. i don't know what happened to him this year.

 

hopefully the yankees piss away the lead.

[ELCABALLO45]

Werth with his 2nd home run of the night. That was a freakin bomb.

 

He has turned into a really really good player

[TruffleShuffle]

yankees getting all the big hits tonight. [expletive].

Did anyone else hear what McCarver said about Daylight Savings Time tonight?

 

Buck said something about making sure to set your clock back an hour tonight and McCarver followed it up by saying if you don't, you'll be late for the game. Problem is, if you forget to set your clock back, you'll be an hour early for the game, not an hour late.

[rocket]

2 MORE YANKEES, LET'S DO THIS

 

WTG AROD BTW

Burnett to pitch Game 5, apparently.

 

Burnett on short rest or Chad Gaudin? Tough call.

I'm pretty surprised that the Phillies aren't going to throw Lee tonight, especially since they're down 2-1.

[TruffleShuffle]

I'm pretty surprised that the Phillies aren't going to throw Lee tonight, especially since they're down 2-1.

 

he threw 120 pitches 4 days ago; that decision was pretty much made when they let him go deep into the ballgame.

 

this has to be one of the fatter pitching matchups in recent memory.

It was stupid on Wednesday when they let him go out there for the ninth inning up 6-1 and throw an extra 18 pitches. They probably could have taken him out after the seventh up 4-0 and saved an extra 12 pitches also, but sending him out for the ninth was completely unnecessary.

 

And Sabathia threw 113 pitches that same game - only nine fewer than Lee did - but he's coming back for tonight's game.

 

If they were up 2-1, then I could understand it. But if you lose this one, you're nearly done, especially since you'd have to go to New York and win twice, if you could beat Burnett in Game 5.

yeah i understand your point, but lee has never pitched on three days rest and would have to do it twice; at least one of those times would be coming off a 120-pitch inning. lee has thrown 265 innings this year and isn't built like sabathia. there's also this: "postseason starters are 20-34 with a 4.65 ERA when working on 3 days' rest or fewer"... i look at it this way, blanton is rested and ready to go, sabathia has a lot of miles on that arm this year, and if the phillies can take this one then they're going to be favored to win tomorrow night and go to new york only needing one win, and they'll be facing a shaky andy pettitte and c.c. pitching for the second time in the series on three days rest.

 

the way i look at it, the phillies need to win the next two nights, not just tonight, and the best chance to win both is to have a rested lee and blanton rather than short-rest lee and either short-rest pedro or blanton.

[Guest]

It seems Manuel is either going to be considered a genius (if Blanton pitches well and they win tonight) or will be ripped apart for his decision (if Blanton gets hammered tonight).

 

I hope he's considered a genius and this all works out.

Historically though, pitchers on a 3 day rest doesn't necessarly mean much. IIRC, it was like 5-5 something and with a ERA of 5.00 or higher.

[Outshined_One]

I see Joe Blanton has decided to blow this one.

[TruffleShuffle]

i would still like to know why howard is batting cleanup and werth #5 against a lefty starter.

[TruffleShuffle]

lol @ mike everitt on that play at the plate.

[TruffleShuffle]

[expletive]. three complete garbage hits for the yankees in the 5th inning.

[Coach C]

Sabathia is going to have nightmares of Chase Utley.

[Guest]

Chase Utley!

[Coach C]

In all seriousness, Blanton didn't do TOO bad as people feared he would. The Phils offense left 7 men on base, especially the one where they pulled a Cub-like in the 5th inning with runners on 2nd and 1st with no outs.

[Careless]

Does Ibanez always run like that? That was weird.
