Philadelphia @ Arizona
The Phils and Diamondbacks go at it again in the desert--relatively speaking, I mean-- this evening. Slugging pitcher Micah Owings takes the hill for host Arizona, Kyle Kendrick for the Phils.

it's bad when ground balls find holes
Kendrick trails 1-0 in the first. Still two on, two out.
Also, I am now muting the game about half the time.
Feliz ends the inning.

I’m just starting to get pissed off at him. Every time at the plate he is making the same damn mistakes. At what point does Charlie maybe consider moving him down in the order?
When is right.

Kendrick is just so hittable.
For Who? My teammates.
For What? To Win.
How Much? Where do I sign?

He might be a guy whom you ditch as soon as he starts to get expensive.
Though I guess it’s also possible that he learns another pitch at some point and gets better.

Micah Owings should play the field in his off days.

Got lucky there. What is Kendrick’s WHIP so far, like 3.0?

Then gets the 6-4-3 to retire the side in the 3rd. 1-1 game.

I see we tied the game. And just as I was checking in before going to bed… hmm.

Happy Pete can’t barehand the ball; Byrnes safe at first with one out.

Steals second, scores on Jackson’s RBI double, and I say eff it.

Bruntlett with an RBI double to tie it.
He’s been more productive than Howard lately.

Utley singles to drive in Brunt. Phils lead 5-4. 0 outs. howard up.

Eric Bruntlett has a posse!
(no, I didn’t go to bed. It’ll be worth if they win, but given that I have to get up in a few hours, I’m gonna be super-pissed if they blow it.)

Howard Ks…3rd time this game. I am really starting to think they need to slide him down in the order. It’s just not working for him right now.
by FuquaManuel on May 8, 2008 12:15 AM EDT 0 recs
He had to wait too long to come in… stuff looks okay, though, based on the pitches to the next two guys.

I say sign him for eternity. He’s probably a better pitcher dead than Eaton will ever be alive.

Cheap-assed owners would never pony up for that kind of commitment…

Gordon buckles down and gets through the inning unscathed. Really impressive. Lidge faces the heart of the order in the 9th. Lets tack on 2 more and make it easier for Brad!
by FuquaManuel on May 8, 2008 12:34 AM EDT 0 recs
Lidge K’s Byrnes to start the 9th on a full-count slider.
by dajafi on May 8, 2008 12:46 AM EDT 0 recs
Good win indeed.
I’m so conditioned to expect disaster from our bullpen, but Lidge, when he’s on, really looks unhittable. I was surprised Drew put it in play.

Yeah…Lidge has really been a pleasure to watch all season. I am actually starting to feel confident when we get into the late innings. Weird.

This might be the best win of the season. I am not talking about improbable or comeback, but the Phils stayed in it the entire game, and beat a good team and had 2 shutdown innings to finish the game.

Btw, Kendrick as luck as you can get. 10 hits, 1 BB and 1 HBP in 6 innings = 2.0 WHIP.

Well, if they included HBP in WHIP which I am not sure if they do.
