Los Angeles Dodgers at Philadelphia Phillies, Oct 19, 2009 8:07 PM EDT
Through the magic of the Internet, barring catastrophe, this Game Thread will go live as I'm already inside Citizens Bank Park for Game Four of the NLCS.
The Phillies were up 2-1 at some point in each of their last four playoff series, all of which they won. Good omen? Statistical probability? Whatever, it beats the alternative.
Joe Blanton goes for the Phillies against former Phillie Randy Wolf.
Discuss the game below.

Strike zone is definitely inconsistent. But Blanton’s been hitting the glove, and Wolf hasn’t been, and you’ll always get more calls that way.
(Not that it justifies an inconsistent strike zone, but just sayin’.)

if he sets up outside and ball is over inside corner, he’s not likely to get call

Hey, man, if it was Game Seven, it might just be Cliff Lee. Believe it.
My point is just that not all games are equally critical. As an on-field competitor, that’s not a useful mindset, but it’s nonetheless true.

It’s a should win – as was game 2 – you can’t keep giving games away

They had an unlucky loss Saturday. They’re entitled.
(I don’t mean that they “deserved to win”—more that both Games Two and Three were pretty evenly played.)
Never seen my wife, who’s always adored Mike Scioscia and is starting to root for the whole team, as excited about a ballgame as she was at the end of that one today.

So your comment was pointing out how smart he was not to make the pointless off balance throw and risk giving Loney second?

he’s not going to get Loney there. Only Madson could have on that ball.

I don’t suppose any phillies fans noticed Abreu making that out at third earlier today? First thought I had was PAD YOUR DOUBLES
