World Series Game Thread, Game Four: Rays at Phillies

Tampa Bay Rays at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 26, 2008 8:29 PM EDT



Next Game

Tampa Bay Rays
@ Philadelphia Phillies

Sunday, Oct 26, 2008, 8:29 PM EDT
Citizens Bank Park

Andy Sonnanstine vs Joe Blanton

Complete Coverage >


So, anything interesting happen last night?

Tonight the Phillies go for a commanding 3-to-1 Series lead, sending new-ish Phillie Joe Blanton to the mound against young Tampa righthander Andy Sonnanstine.  A 3-1 lead, with Cole Hamels set for Game Five.  Dare to dream?  The Rays would do well to win this one, eh?

So far, Blanton has been solid if not spectacular in the postseason.  Sonnanstine has been good, picking up a win against Chicago in the ALDS and winning Game Four of the ALCS against Boston behind a 13 run Rays attack, despite allowing four runs in seven and a third innings.

In more important news, I will be in attendance tonight.  This will be my FIRST World Series game.  I could hardly be more excited.  If they win tonight, I will be a mess.  I think dajafi is going to be there too, so play nice while we're gone.  GO PHILS!!!

Sonnenstine: 2 walks in the inning, 4 three ball counts.

Shane’s AB: 2 pitches
Feliz’s AB: 3 pitches

Yeah, great job by Sonnenstine to throw the baseball to Shane and Feliz and allow them to get themselves out. STFU Buck.

Question: why is Charlie considering using Lidge for more than one inning?

by Walcott on Oct 26, 2008 10:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Because Hamels already threw 27 pitches around the world, which will arrive in time for game 5, getting an out with each pitch in a perfect game. Hamels will win by virtue of the 4-4 performance he will have at the plate, hitting 4 grand slams and walking twice. So, basically, Charlie knows that he won’t need Lidge the rest of the series. Is that it?

Perhaps that statement was just McCarver being a douche. But he said Charlie mentioned it.

I’m sure he’d consider Lidge for a 2 inning save if it warranted it – it’s possible – doesn’t mean it’ll happen, just mccarver being an idiot

I think I’d say all kinds of crazy stuff on the sly to McCarver just to make him look bad.

by Wet Luzinski on Oct 26, 2008 10:52 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Maybe McCarver brought it up because Manuel didn’t double switch so the pitcher spot is up 4th in the bottom of the 7th and McCarver can’t understand that relief pitchers are ALLOWED to bat?

by jemagee on Oct 26, 2008 10:55 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs
