Philadelphia Phillies at Colorado Rockies, Oct 10, 2009 9:37 PM EDT
It's been a long layoff. How long? The Angels and Red Sox had had yet to play a single game in their ALDS matchup when the Phillies and Rockies completed their Game Two on Thursday afternoon. The Angels just eliminated the Red Sox, three games to none, earlier this afternoon.
J.A. Happ, Lefty #3, gets the ball tonight for the Phillies, versus Jason Hammel. It's a cold one in Denver. Coors Field just turned blue. Uh huhhuh huhuh.
Discuss the game below.

Still too cold for baseball. Gonna be a messy one.

28 degrees
And apparently dropping, as it was 31 just 45 minutes ago. MLB is run by fools.
by David S. Cohen on Oct 11, 2009 9:33 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Doesn’t make any sense at all. I understand that both teams have to play in the weather, but that doesn’t mean it is fair to the fans or the players.
by FuquaManuel on Oct 11, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not fair to the fans? I bet more than half of the people there tonight are also Broncos fans that sit through -5 degree weather in some cases. It sucks no question, but I don’t think that it’s unfair to the fans just because baseballs a warm weather game.
by philiafan14364 on Oct 11, 2009 9:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No. What I mean is that the fans get an inferior product. Who really wants to see bad pitching because the pitcher can’t grip the ball, bad fielding for the same reason, and bad hitting because the batters are swinging icicles?
by FuquaManuel on Oct 11, 2009 9:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I mean, I guess there's no way around this.
Oh nevermind, there is — don’t schedule an October game in Colorado for 8 o’clock at night!

Well, it looks like Phillies-Rockies might be the only game on tomorrow, so maybe they’ll come up with a better starting time, like 6:07 ET. Yankees leading 2-1 in the bottom of the 8th and former Phillie great Nick Punto gets thrown out at home trying to score from second on an infield single, with no outs. Ouch.

As to WholeCamels’ comment about the Angels playing the Red Sox three times since the Phillies ended game two, if the Yankees win and if the Phillies and Rockies go to game 5, they will play three games after the last division series game with any other team in it.

Something to monitor
For those who read and/or like Fangraphs, Jason Hammel’s best pitch (by pitch value) this year has been the curve ball, and the Phils have had the least success this year against (by pitch value)… yup, the curve ball.
by PhillyFriar on Oct 11, 2009 10:02 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Maybe advantage Phils, as the curve should be impaired if anything will be. (right?)
Happ’s almost all fastball approach hopefully won’t be adversely affected.

I know we’re all bitching a lot about the strike zone, but it’s magnified by the fact that Happ loves to throw low strikes, and he’s flat out not getting more than half of those calls. Hammel works higher up in the zone, but his curves that find the same spot as Happ’s fastball are being called strikes more often. It’s shitty umpiring, and it’s making Happ’s task tonight infinitely harder.

honestly, has anyone seen anything written anywhere by a present or former broadcaster who said, “It’s true that between innings the other announcers and i were saying how much it was hard to stay objective because we really hated the (fill in team name here).”
I just think these guys all delude themselves that they are actually objective.
