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.

What I was trying to say is that if the Phillies thought Rollins was seriously hurt, then he would be put on the DL. So, I expect Rollins to be back against the mets.

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 0 recs
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:
.200 .265 .356 Projected to 25 homers and 12 doubles.

The idea wasn’t terrible, but he had a bat at-bat there.
Chacon is one of those pitchers who will beat himself if you just give him a chance. Thus far, they haven’t. Very frustrating with Oswalt vs. Kendrick looming tomorrow.

Eaton couldn’t put away freakin’ Geoff Blum. And Howard, of course, can’t make a play.
This game has my stomach clenched, in that way only a listless loss to a shite pitcher can do it.

I read this before it came on the mlb.tv. So you ruined the surprise, but I got the anticipation going…

This is why you don’t pull Pat late in the game. I am surprised they didn’t pinch run his jog around the bases.

STUPID FIOS NOT CARRYING CN8
Sounds like I missed one hell of a finish.
Did Burrell seriously hit an opposite-field home run?

They haven’t shown it again, he was definitely out.

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….

Terrible slide by Jenkins, man, slide to the outside of the bag or run over the catcher, you are a platoon player!

True that. Wonder if he would have been gone in the 10th if they hadn’t won it there… ah, who cares ;)

Ausmus looked a little Roger Dornish on that play at the plate as well.

That was the dog’s balls. Flyers win and Burrell homer within seconds of each other.

Would they cut Taguchi and keep Snelling if he continues to hit?

It’ll be Coste that gets cut…
On a serious note. Chad Durbin has impressed me so far.

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.
