PrintLos 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.

Ready to enjoy – this will be the first weekday Phillies postseason game I’ve been able to watch from the start since 1993.

I just missed my chance to get 2 WS tickets today
Would’ve been decent seats in the NL stadium for Game 4.
god i’d like another blow out shut out… nothing like more demoralization for the dodgers

Us shutting them out
Be more specific, man. Or you may not like getting what you wished for.
following on gamecast… i see we now have two outs, but how does cakes actually look?

Typical
Good, not overpowering, location seems fine.
location is key with him… middle/middle and we’re screwed… on the black with blue giving us some close pitches and we’re in business

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’.)
commentaors mentioned that also
if he sets up outside and ball is over inside corner, he’s not likely to get call
such as that pitch to Howard

Barrett’s strike zone is amorphous, to say the least. Wolf’s gotten the worst of it thus far, but we could be in for a long night of sketchy calls.

Agreed
The Yankees were rolling along earlier today, up 3-0, probably thinking it was all but over. And now it itsn’t.

Chip Caray is obsessed with the home run. Every time a hitter comes up, he talks about how a home run can tie the game, or how the guy hasn’t hit a home run since last week, etc. He’s like a small child.
I’m glad that pitch wasn’t pulled, because Chip Caray would have gone bananas on the air.
by phillyinportland on Oct 19, 2009 9:07 PM EDT up reply actions
Whew...
I was going to be pissed if he hit a home run after what should have been strike three. Nice grab, Victorino.
I’m almost at the point that any graphic TBS puts up strikes me as a likely precursor to the opposite thing happening.

Get the fucking pen up. The wheels are falling off fast. Not only doesn’t he have the zone, they are crushing everything. This could damn well be a 6-2 game in a second.

Blanton hasn’t started in a couple of weeks. Sometimes you get lucky with Pedro, and sometimes you dont (Cupcakes)
by CoburnsCuddleBuddy on Oct 19, 2009 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions
Blaton has pitched though.
I don’t repeatedly bash Blanton as a person, as you do with Cole though. You’re on the whole “Cole is soft” trope which is really just stupid and extremely fucking annoying. You clearly dislike the man on some level that transcends his performances in individual baseball games.

Pessimist’s take (sorry): now it’s tied, and their pitcher has looked much more in-control than ours.
I just don’t want this to be one of those games where we score early and feel good then are slowly led to realize over the course of the game that a) we can’t score anymore and b) our pitchers are not gonna be able to hold on. Those are the real ball busters.
Wolf gets squeezed: gives up two runs
Blanton gets squeezed: same thing happens

Suddenly my (sort of) warm feelings for Wolf’s “homecoming” have evaporated, and I’m now just pissed that the mofo turned down more money from us to sign with the Dodgers and Padres. Screw you, Randy Wolf.
no, I get it. I want his ass kicked. I’m sure his mother loves him and all, and I’m sure he doesn’t kick his dog, if he has one. But I want his ass kicked.

You ought to figure out a way to combine the best of James Brown with Austin Powers, Charo and Mr. Positive for the ultimate unstoppable power. For all I know there is some Internet tool out there to throw together unrelated icons like those and come up with ??? – something new and different.

I think every time I've said "They're not gonna win this game" they find a way to come back and win it
Reverse psychology FTW
That ball hit deep! Way back! You can put it on the boooaaaard...YES!
Long drive into deep right center field! This ball is OUTTA HEEERRRREE!

I think I almost forgive Jimmy for all of the shitty at bats all season

Forgive, if not forget.
The season is over. Now it matters.
What almost. This is the postseason and he just delivered a monster game-winning hit and you still don’t forgive him for some bad at-bats?

isn’t it appropriate that the Dodger Killer scored the winning run? lol

That’s right. I thought it was Bruntlett but he was on second, so Carlos “HBP” Ruiz had the winning run.

Whole Camels must be absolutely over the moon. He thought it would have been great to be at the 11-0 game

They seem to have the same affection
For Ruiz that we have for guys like Torreabla.
Not like I blame them, mind you.
Has Ruiz ever, in his life, screamed and pumped his fist at 2nd?

Nothin’ quite like the down a run, game-winning hit in the bottom of the ninth. It NEVER gets old.

Only response he can give: “No, of course not”

I still can’t believe there were two outs in the 9th when that happened.

Rare good point from the TBS crew … Manny set up the Phillies victory by allowing an inexplicable triple to LF.
I thought that as it was hit. You just don’t see triples hit to the LF corner.

sorry for my absence
Lately, I’ve considered posting on the threads to be bad luck for the games.
It’s working….
Torre press conference
He looks shellshocked. Trying to say the right things (“they still have to win 3 games”), but he doesn’t look like he believes himself
postgame press conferences are such dreary artifice anyway. I’ll grant his body language was drawn, but I don’t know how you couldn’t be. The worst thing any manager can do is go off a la Tommy Lasorda. Come to think of it, there’s the postgame interview I’d want.

Sorry for those comments those other poster’s were posting at you. Just boneheads. Heart breaker for sure.
no prob. i’ve been skimming your boards the bast few days… i guess you’re having some issues with some individuals… no biggie. good game, definitely most exciting of the post season for either team

also, by the way, this was all set up by senor octubre, and I had mild doubt about his abilities to get the job done, but surely those doubts were highly erroneous on my part.
When Ruiz came up my first thought was, can he hit a homer of Broxton. then for just a second I thought, no, but maybe he can get hit. That seemed more probable than him getting a hit.
by phillyinportland on Oct 20, 2009 12:33 AM EDT up reply actions
Wow.
I missed the end of the game; just read the posts from about the 8th on. Awesomeness. One. More. Win.
Then 4 more wins.
That’s not too much to ask.
