The Gong Show Presents Jamie, Parr: Phillies at Braves, 9/16/08

Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves, Sep 16, 2008 7:10 PM EDT


Next Game

Philadelphia Phillies
@ Atlanta Braves

Tuesday, Sep 16, 2008, 7:10 PM EDT
Turner Field

Jamie Moyer vs James Parr

Mostly cloudy with a 30-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing in from center field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 75.

 

Complete Coverage >

 

The Phillies start the final act to their 2008 season by entering Atlanta to take on a Braves team that is probably still unaccustomed to playing the role of late season spoiler.  Despite the best laid plans and pre-season predictions, here sit the Braves with another losing season and little to do but hope for good health next season.

Jamie Moyer goes on normal rest for the Phillies tonight against 22 year old rookie righthander James Parr, not to be confused with Jamie Farr.  Hopefully he won't gong our playoff hopes, like all these rookie pitchers always seem to.

The Phillies can move into first place in the NL East with a win and a Mets loss, or the Wild Card lead with a win and a Brewers loss.  The permutations get pretty complicated, but for all intents and purposes playoff berths will go to the best two teams out of the Phils, Mets, and Brewers.  Just win, baby.

The Braves are really fielding a young line up tonight. Infante is the second oldest after Jones at 26.

nothing too exciting so far, not much of a crowd down in Atl

I’m not happy watching this half-inning.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:14 PM EDT reply actions  

Rollins

He’s scored one with the bat….but his miscue in the field cost 2 runs.
If this were hockey, he’d be a -1.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:23 PM EDT reply actions  

Wow. Ruiz with a no-doubter solo shot.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:24 PM EDT reply actions  

The Braves broadcast just showed Chooch hitting that something like eight times in a row.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:25 PM EDT reply actions  

Ruiz

would you actually believe I picked Ruiz up as a backup catcher in my fantasy league. What’s better? I started him tonight over Chris Iannetta!!!

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Cubs up 1-0 on CC and the Brewers…

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:26 PM EDT reply actions  

I liked the way the braves announcers thought Utley should have been wrung up on a pitch 3" off the plate inside before he doubled, then blamed the umps for the phils run.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Parr has thrown 87 pitches through four, so we’re probably looking at a lot of Atlanta bullpen this evening.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:27 PM EDT reply actions  

that’s likely a good thing.

Moyer is at 54 through 3, so I’d say the Braves are going to see a lot of phils bullpen as well.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

if they keep swinging at the first pitch tho…..

Moyer's Pitches by Inning

16-8-30-6.
7-8-9 of this lineup seems pretty bad.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nice shutdown inning there, with very few pitches. Moyer should be okay for 6-7, which is fine considering they weren’t over-used this weekend and had the off-day yesterday.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Washington gets a run in the 5th! 1-0 Nats.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:32 PM EDT reply actions  

Nats up 1-0, 2nd and 3rd w/ 2 out

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:32 PM EDT reply actions  

zimmerman flied out…threat over. beat me to it there dajafi….

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

The Marlins leading the Astros by 5-0 in the 7th is nice, too. Especially when it was a game started by Mr. September, Roy Oswalt. I almost feel sorry for what’s happened to Houston – then I remember what they did in 2004 and 2005 and the feeling passes.

by phillyinportland on Sep 16, 2008 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

Parr’s out with one away and two on in the 5th.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Burrell

Those were hittable pitches he missed. That’s a bad sign.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:44 PM EDT reply actions  

No doubt, a few months ago that last one was a smash somewhere.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 8:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

it would’nt have been cheap had he made good contact. It was the accidental contact that made it a joke. Stuff like that is also usually a bad sign.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

that’s the god-awfulest bunt single I’ve ever seen.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 8:50 PM EDT reply actions  

glad Carlyle didn’t start this game. He’s making the batters look stoopid.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:02 PM EDT reply actions  

bad pitching that AB from Moyer.
Lillibridge had nothing on him and he ended up walking him, after he flailed horrible at a 1-3 pitch and fouled it off.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Two walks after he got ahead, and the bases are loaded.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 9:13 PM EDT reply actions  

id prefer to not see chipper bat this inning.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:14 PM EDT reply actions  

cubs up 3-0 on milwaukee

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:15 PM EDT reply actions  

howard with a nice stop to get the out at first, and moyer is out

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 9:16 PM EDT reply actions  

disappointing start I’d say.
I like the way he started….but he was ahead of 2 batters, and just couldn’t throw a strike to get them out.

Durbin has been bad lately. Hope he can get Prado out, as I re-iterate my desire to not see Chipper this inning.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:19 PM EDT reply actions  

still have a shot…but they’ve wasted some chances so far.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:21 PM EDT reply actions  

that’s more on moyer.

you can’t walk the #8 hitter, when he’s down 1-2.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:23 PM EDT reply actions  

ugh

lets just hope the nats and cubs and fish can hold on.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:26 PM EDT reply actions  

yea, we need some outside help tonight

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 9:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

and that ends it, 7-4, phew

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 9:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Mets

down 1-0, bottom 8.
1st and 2nd. 1 out. Reyes up.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:28 PM EDT reply actions  

I’m not sure how that looked on TV, but on GameCast that looked like an ugly inning. Hope we don’t see many more like that this year.

by phillyinportland on Sep 16, 2008 9:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Mets didn’t score in the 8th.

Judging by Harry’s eyesight when calling games, I really hope he’s not allowed to drive.

Argh. Come on Pat.

by taco pal on Sep 16, 2008 9:38 PM EDT reply actions  

Burrell

swung at 10 pitches tonight. Missed 8, fouled off 2.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:39 PM EDT reply actions  

I think Burrell has swung-and-missed his way into a spectating position for tomorrows game.

by christonabike on Sep 16, 2008 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

cmon shane…..getting this run would be huge.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:40 PM EDT reply actions  

Shane comes through!

by taco pal on Sep 16, 2008 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Could have used Matt Stairs there – but I doubt Charlie would do that mid-game.

by phillyinportland on Sep 16, 2008 9:40 PM EDT reply actions  

I don’t think you can do that. But I do think he’ll get tomorrow off…unless it’s a LHP.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

if they’re gonna give you runs….you better take them.

I love September baseball.

by taco pal on Sep 16, 2008 9:46 PM EDT reply actions  

he got out of the way of that first pitch, it looked like it would have hit him

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 9:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Needs to spend more time with Utley.

Especially given how much more padding Stairs has.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

brewers 2 run homer, down 3-2

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 9:52 PM EDT reply actions  

first and second, 2 outs

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 9:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

Glad I didn’t put on the end of the Mets game; also, that they lost.

Stairs nearly cleared the bases with that just-foul on 1-1. But I guess we can’t complain of our luck overall in that inning.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 9:52 PM EDT reply actions  

sure you can…..phils didn’t tie it up.

Hey thanks Phills for helping us get rid of Yost, good luck in the post season. Maybe we will be there one day

by sjdavis2 on Sep 16, 2008 9:58 PM EDT reply actions  

We felt your pain. I knew that nonsense with Shouse in the 8th was going to get him fired—just figured it would take two more weeks.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 9:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, it seems like everyone but some of our own fans knew Yost was a moron, I got 2 emails from friends with the subject: “Sad news” about his firing, couldn’t believe it, having him gone was almost like getting to the post season, I think…. Anyways, good luck

by sjdavis2 on Sep 16, 2008 10:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

Nice inning by Madson. This is the kind of game that teams that make the playoffs should find a way to win against an inferior opponent, especially when you get a few breaks along the way.

by phillyinportland on Sep 16, 2008 10:00 PM EDT reply actions  

A non-break was Utley’s ball, which would have been gone with the wind neutral, staying in the park.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

I wish Ned Yost was coaching the Braves….then Tavarez would get to pitch to Howard.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:04 PM EDT reply actions  

Wife-beating drunk with the unfortunately intelligent pitching change here.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:05 PM EDT reply actions  

I think I just whooped so much that I scared my cat into crapping himself.

Ryan Howard is just out of his fucking mind right now. My god.

by FuquaManuel on Sep 16, 2008 10:09 PM EDT reply actions  

Man oh man. Previously 0-6 against the guy for his career, 3 Ks… gone.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:09 PM EDT reply actions  

9-1-2 due for the Braves in the 8th, and Madson threw just 10 pitches in the 7th. So presumably he’s going back, and if you run into a problem it’s Romero.

Meanwhile, platinum sombrero for Burrell…

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:11 PM EDT reply actions  

I prefer Olympic Rings.

Howard’s BA is now .001 below Burrell. Who would have thought?

by christonabike on Sep 16, 2008 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Platinum Sombrero for Pat Burrell. Eek, this is tough to watch.

by FuquaManuel on Sep 16, 2008 10:12 PM EDT reply actions  

What happened? My GameCast is stuck on 1-1 count to Jayson Werth.

by phillyinportland on Sep 16, 2008 10:12 PM EDT reply actions  

poor guy. You missed Howard’s 2 run homer.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

Bruntlett in at LF. I still hate this move when we’ve got Greg Golson, a superior defensive OF, getting rectal splinters.

Madson still in for now.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:14 PM EDT reply actions  

I’d even prefer Taguchi in the OF to Bruntlett.

by taco pal on Sep 16, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

taguchi has fielded horribly when used.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

Is Bruntlett better? I doubt it.

by taco pal on Sep 16, 2008 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Thanks for the update – GameCast came back and I saw about 12 pitches in quick succession – nice hitting on the 3-2 pitch by Howard.

by phillyinportland on Sep 16, 2008 10:15 PM EDT reply actions  

the braves announcers were debating what to threw and said gotta be the fastball…throw your best pitch.
I was replying to them….‘breaking pitch….breaking pitch’.

glad they can’t hear me.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

save golson for a PR. just promise to use him if need be.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:15 PM EDT reply actions  

Decent point. But then, as tp says, at least use Taguchi who’s an actual outfielder.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

madson on a roll tonight

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 10:17 PM EDT reply actions  

no kiddin. I haven’t seen him pitch like that in a long time.

Now lets tack on about 4 runs and give Clay Condrey the ball.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

Tacking on a few here would be HUGE.

by FuquaManuel on Sep 16, 2008 10:18 PM EDT reply actions  

yea, i wouldnt mind a few; could madson do 3 innings if we take a big lead?

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 10:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

Feliz refusing to take the walk here—almost as shocking as Durbin giving up that big hit.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:24 PM EDT reply actions  

And then he does. Feliz vs. Julio is like some kind of Greek epic of “I’m gonna walk you/No you’re not”

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

Jenkins sighting. Hard to believe he’s got 9 homers…

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:29 PM EDT reply actions  

I think we’re getting the sequel to that Epic with Jenkins vs Julio.

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:29 PM EDT reply actions  

cubs got another run. up 4-2

by Bilzo on Sep 16, 2008 10:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Soriano’s been huge tonight. Scored in the 1st (I think), and hit a solo HR just now.

by dajafi on Sep 16, 2008 10:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

fielder with another homer to match, 4-3

by pjnc2003 on Sep 16, 2008 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

jorge -— just roll one to the plate. He’s a low ball hitter. He’ll swing at it.

Done and done.

Fielder gets it right back in that game—now 4-3. His second bomb of the night.
