San Francisco Giants at Philadelphia Phillies, May 3, 2008 7:05 PM EDT
I'm out of action again for this one, but it worked out okay last night.
Giants lineup: Lewis, Velez, Winn, Molina, Rowand, Bowker, Aurilia, Bocock, Cain
Phils lineup: Victorino, Dobbs, Utley, Howard, Burrell, Jenkins, Coste, Bruntlett, Myers
Given the weather and the reps of the starters, you might expect a low-scoring affair tonight, but both pitchers have fairly gruesome career lines against the other team.

where are these pitches?
two in a row that were really close to strikes. This is gonna be tough for brett if hes not getting clear strikes.

bonehead play by bruntlett…Lewis steals second but overslides the bag, but Bruntlett was too busy looking at the ump to follow the runner.

Cain
Low pitch count, not good for the boys.

I just started watching, but he looks good. He seems to be using the fastball more.
by PhoenixPhilly on May 3, 2008 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Aside from the first inning where he kind of got squeezed by the ump, he has looked pretty lights out. He’s racking up the Ks and he seems to be more confident in his fastball.

I’m going to the game here in Phoenix on Monday. Can’t wait to see clUTchLEY on fire!

what makes me smile about all of this is that we’re 17-14 in early may with howard struggling and rollins on the DL…granted, the starting pitching overall has been better than we expected, and the bullpen has been lights out. That, plus burrell helping to carry the offense in howards slump and werth doing everything he can to earn an every-day role has really made me confident in the teams ability to adapt and succeed in weaker areas when the strengths are down…
On the other hand, if the pitching falls back down to earth, burrell cools off, utley comes down from the moon, and jroll doesnt recover well from his ankle injury, things could go differently

Well at least Myers had a 7 pitch at bat. Cain is conservative.
