Sweep the Leg, Jamie!: NLDS Game Three, Phillies at Brewers
Philadelphia Phillies @ Milwaukee Brewers
Two nights after the Phillies improbable defeat of 2007 Cy Young Award winner and Hottest Pitcher on the Planet CC Sabathia, the Phillies head to Milwaukee to attempt to complete a three game sweep of the Brewers and set a date with either the Dodgers (likely) or the Cubs (wha' happen'?) in the NLCS.
Jamie Moyer, moundsman during the Phillies division clinchers in 2007 and 2008, goes for the Phillies against righty Dave Bush. In his previous start in Philadelphia, Bush was touched for three runs over six innings. Hopefully the Phillies can do better than that tonight.
Fun fact: Despite winning both games, the Phillies have only scored runs in two innings in this series: a three run third on Wednesday, and a five run second on Thursday.

Listen to the game
Can anyone tell me where I might be able to listen to the game online?

Core Hart ‘showing a lot of patience’ – because he doesn’t swing at the first pitch?
Come on Moyer – get it together

You don't understand.
That is a lot of patience for Corey Hart. :)
I have an unreasonable dislike of Bill Hall.

Moyer can’t get that low out of the zone pitch – but busch can?
Excellent

Bad luck for the Phils in that fourth inning—Howard’s rocket just foul, Burrell and Victorino hit line drives right at guys.
They can get Dave Bush. Gramps just has to keep ’em close.

I wasn’t even able to finish my yelling at Feliz for first-pitch swinging before the Brewers bungled that into a hit…
No DP plz

Another line drive out.

Speaking of Fatty. I wonder if his knees will hold up as long as his old mans. My god he is Fat, in fact he makes jelltyroll Blanton look downright slim. OK that’s a stretch.

Utley comes up small there.
It’s surprising how a guy who’s such a good hitter overall is so consistently disappointing with guys on third, less than two outs.
Stetter coming in for Howard.

Okay, there’s one. Howard RBI groundout—more than I expected once he got to two strikes, frankly.

Burrell
The usual waving swing ground out. Methinks he’s about punched his ticket outta town. Too bad I like the guy too.
by Steve-O- on Oct 4, 2008 8:49 PM EDT 0 recs
Probably you’re right.
I wonder what kind of market there will be for him, though. The thing about free agents-to-be who make the playoffs is that 30 GMs get to watch them… Carlos Beltran probably owes half that phat contract he got from the Mets to what he did with the Astros in ’04.

Boy was Carlos in a zone thatnI haven’t seen since. He was fun to watch but that was then. Kinda like the Angels with Matthews contract.

Why do people insist to over react to small sample size playoff performances?
Utley and Howard have been garbage at the plate as well, for most of the series, i guess they should be shipped out of town as well
CC cost himself some money on Thursday too didn’t he?

The phillies should pick a number and a number of years for burrell and take it or leave it, but they shouldn’t change their minds because of a small sample size of a playoff series JFC alreadyh.
by jemagee on Oct 4, 2008 8:52 PM EDT 0 recs
no more than 2 years, the money is irrelevant to me, it’s the years, i know the phillies have a budget and all that silliness…but if you look at Pat Burells recent CAREER and not just 3 fracking games, he’s a pretty valuable and hard to replace bat, and there’s no one in the minors or on the roster who replaces that bat…and the phils aren’t paying for manny.
Plus, I think exploring moving Howard for a front line pitcher and putting Burrell at first is NOT a bad idea.

Money shouldn’t be an issue. They drew 3.4 million fans and will have some postseason revenue.
I think you’re actually right—I’d offer 2/28 and maybe go up to 2/30. But I bet someone will offer three, maybe even four years. At that point, you take the picks and see what else might be out there.

I don’t disagree, but maybe offer team options with a ‘polite’ buy out number for 3rd year…remember, Pat has ‘refused’ to leave Philadelphia in the past, maybe he still wants to stay.
I keep hearing talk about how Manny is a ‘free agent’ this off season but weren’t there a couple team options in his contract? Were those options voided when he was traded?

Who is the Brewers game 4 starter scheduled to be? I really don’t like Joe Blanton

Double switch coming—Jenkins to RF, one of the lefties (I imagine Eyre) coming in. Presumably Werth goes to left, Burrell’s out of the game.
by dajafi on Oct 4, 2008 9:01 PM EDT 0 recs
Unless Burrell aggravated his back, I’d still rather have him in the game batting than having Jenkins batting later…and if the phils are going to win, that spot will come up again…

I doubt it. So with that in mind, you’re right—no need for the double switch.

I never see a need for pulling Pat Burrell in a close game where he’s going to come to the plate again…this one is just the most heinous violation of the stupid ‘late inning substitution’ at one of the most important moments of the game.
I really hope the game doesn’t come down to the success of the 5th spot in the phils batting order.

I’ve only seen Kuroda against the Phillies. He filleted us in that first game, and was decent in the second one.

look at his numbers this year though. I’m not sure i’ve seen another pitcher where, depending on the game I saw, I thought he was a top-10 NL pitcher, or looking for a shot in AAA

No, I believe you. I remember looking at his numbers after he dominated the Phillies and thinking, “how the hell did the guy with these numbers do that?”

You forget the ‘first time facing the phillies’ dominance that all pitchers seem to have in the regular season.
I’d like to thank the bottom 3 ‘batters’ for sucking in the top of the 7th

Eyre
He is still in. So that I guess justifies the double shift… it’s just probably not good strategy. I guess Manuel wants to stay away from Madson until the 8th.

For a man obsessed with the lefty righty thing this seems odd, when did the red sox and angels bring their closers in last night again?
