Game 14: Chacon vs. Eaton

by dajafi on Apr 15, 2008 6:30 PM EDT

Houston Astros at Philadelphia Phillies, Apr 15, 2008 7:05 PM EDT

The Phillies return to action Tuesday to face the visiting Astros after an off-day that, if they're anything like me, they spent still feeling pissed about Sunday's 10-inning loss to the Cubs. Adam Eaton takes the mound for his third start of the season, after getting flipped with Kyle Kendrick to stay on his normal rest and get on track to face the Mets Sunday in the finale of this nine-game homestand. Eaton credits his good start to restored health after a more vigorous off-season workout plan. For his career, he's 3-1 with a 4.42 ERA in six starts against Houston.

After their offseason overhaul, the Astros come to town with a 5-8 record, last in the NL Central and four games behind division-leading St. Louis. Tonight, Ed Wade's team--man, that's weird to write--sends to the mound Shawn Chacon, back in a starting role after bullpen stints in 2004 and again last season. Command is always Chacon's problem; he's averaged 4.7 walks per 9 innings through his career, and has issued eight free passes in 12 IP thus far in 2008. The Phillies' 54 walks are fourth in the NL, led by Pat Burrell's 12 and Ryan Howard's 11.

The teams split last year's season series with three wins apiece.

Eaton started off good with 2 outs, but then a walk to Berkman and then singles to Lee and Tejada have put the Astros up 1-0.

Of course, I’ll take that and the rest outs each time through the lineup.

My way of thinking is to save him against the Astros hoping he’ll heal up for the series this weekend with the mutts.

Maybe I butchered that last post. I’ll try again. Thinking the Stros are a weaker team than the Mutts maybe it’s smarter to let him sit and heal further before the upcomming series with the Mutts.

I am beginning to love Feliz. Every other player in this lineup I have certain expectations of, and when they fail, which they will considering baseball is a game of minimizing your failures, I am disappointed. Feliz, however, I have no expectations of, so whenever he gets a hit, it is a pleasant little surprise.

by Neduol Caz on Apr 15, 2008 7:48 PM EDT reply actions

This is a kinda dangerous way to look at things when you think about it.

Feliz seems like he isn’t playing poorly, but before today’s game he had this line:

On the Comcast wrap-up,

It sure as heck looked like Jenkins was out – they showed several angles and not one of them made it look like his foot got to the plate before Ausmus tagged him. I guess the Reds’ karma just ran over the Stros’ dogma – the Phils are merely a conduit, trading a game here for a game there….

This kind makes up for the loss on Sunday, though I am still concerned about the fact that they couldn’t hit for 8 innings before this.

pessimism of the mind, optimism of the will

I was not being negative…In fact, I said that the win made me feel good. I was merely making an objective observation and stating that it concerned me that they were unable to hit for 8 innings of the ballgame.

What concerns do you have? They are without Rollins and Victorino. Howard is slumping. Do you think that will continue? It seems you are looking at the black lining.
