Cliff Lee, the defending Cy Young Award winner, goes for the Phillies against the Rockies' dynamic ace Ubaldo Jimenez. Hopefully you're watching this somewhere, and not following some Gamecast program like so many of us are (thanks TBS and MLB).

Uncle Charlie does the right thing in splitting up the lefties. And Jim Tracy bats Atkins and Torrealba 5th and 6th. Good news so far.
So who’s batting between utley and howard?

Bruntlett.
Damnit, you know what I meant. And since Utley doesn’t show a huge platoon split, him and Howard back-to-back isn’t the worst thing in the world.
As long as the rockies haven’t noticed that in the second half of the year Utley isn’t as good on outside pitches as he was the first half of the year :)

Another day to be glad I work from home, though I don’t think the productivity is going to be so great this afternoon. Any guesses as to how out of sync 1210 and TBS are going to be? I can’t listen to 3 hours of whatever schmoes TBS has decided to saddle us with today.
*sigh*
The TBS crew who did the Twins/Tigers game last night was the worst. These aren’t the same guys.
I get it on the radio anyway.

He’s giving the pitchers leeway if the catchers are able to frame pitches just outside. As long as he’s consistent…. (famous last words).
ugh raul...
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
I’m serious, if Ubaldo’s going to pound the strike zone like this, we’re in serious trouble. Where’s the pitcher who’s walked over 4 guys per 9 innings in his career?
They clearly aren’t interested in working any counts right now. Maybe the second time through the order.

Good inning.
I consider this a break inning with Feliz coming up though. Let’s do some damage in the 4th, WOOO!
Because the 8-hole hitter needs to have the patience to take a walk if the pitcher’s going to pitch around him. And Feliz could n ever do that.
Also because we can’t trust Feliz not to swing at intentional balls
by WanderingMoses on Oct 7, 2009 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions
it changes but...
My hates list includes Rico Brogna, Gregg Jeffries, David Bell, Don Carman, and Endy Chavez. Jeff Conine and Wes Helms get honorable mention. Conine simply because the phils signed him, kinda like if they were to sign Craig Biggio.
WOW.

Thought so, hard to tell from the replay but it looked like his glove went back like he was hitting the leg. Rollins’ K makes it a moot point anyway.
*sigh*
There was absolutely no way Rollins wasn’t swinging there.
I really, really wish he weren’t batting leadoff.
JRoll....
yeay for mediocrity!
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
We might make him throw 100 pitches in his shutout!

Can you imagine Pujols playing his home games in pre-humidor Coors?
At least one triple crown.
Pitchers Duel.
Lee has been holding up his end of the deal as far as the Phillies go. How about some offense? 2nd time through the line up, need some damage here with the heart.
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
Holy Crap. A full count.
It’s sad when that’s an achievement.
If Ubaldo doesn’t pay attention, Howard could take off here. Torrealba doesn’t have a particularly great arm.
You guys need to give a little credit to Jimenez. He’s making some really superb pitches.
(Which isn’t to say that Utley isn’t a mess right now.)
Dammit—Howard caught stealing. Not a good enough jump to go there.
Yeah, Ubaldo’s dealing. Not sure when he found his pristine command, but it’s bad news for us.
I don’t think Howard going there is a bad idea as long as he gets a good jump. You can’t stutter step and then go.
Is there something about this guy’s delivery that they think they can steal on him?
Howard got an absolutely terrible jump.
anyone know how many pitches Lee is at?

Actually, see above — Helton definitely would have gotten that for a putout.
Not that it makes Chooch’s baserunning blunder any better. But it is ironic.
Ironically enough, that wouldn’t have been a base hit had Lee just been thrown out, because Helton wouldn’t have been holding the runner on. So, ummm, good foresight, Chooch!
I was about to say the same thing.
These broadcasters suck.

That was an awful pitch to Howard—split the plate, down in the zone. He’s pretty lucky it didn’t go out.
This is a bit more like the Ubaldo Jimenez I was expecting to face: fantastic stuff, but command iffy enough so that if you’re patient against him, you can get some baserunners.
THat werth walk really seemed to throw him off to me – until then he was good

Phillies have actually scored 5 runs without hitting a HR. Not their thing. Only did that 9 times all year — and just once since July 22

At 96 pitches?
Unless he has a good reason not to.
They’ve got 1-2-3 up in the 9th. Lee is at 96 pitches. Who’s more comfortable with any of our relievers?
Thought not.
I pretty much guarantee that no matter what happens, Lee comes out for the bottom of the 9th. Maybe not if we put up a 10-spot this inning or something.
*sigh*
I think Lidge could blow a 15 run lead personally

Bring in Lidge!
Totally serious. The town feels loyalty to him and it’ll be expected that he’ll get to pitch in the postseason – here’s a chance to do it and even if he walks the bases loaded the tying run still won’t be at the plate. Get Lidge’s appearance out of the way, in other words. Maybe only after Lee gets the first out or two.

Yeah, when I wrote that I didn’t realize 1-2-3 were due up. In my defense, I did qualify it with Lee spotting him two of his three outs.

I see what he means: Lidge is probably going to pitch at some point, so probably better he do it with a 5-run lead than with a 1-run lead.
Still, I don’t think Charlie necessarily thinks that way, and with Lee dealing, it makes the most sense to just stick with him.
He got his ‘confidence back’ in those last two marlin appearances – right now he’s feeling good – and th phils are going to take a 1-0 lead – the risk of the game somehow getting out of hand isn’t worth it – lidge will either have it or not – i’d rather have a game (or two) in hand before finding out.

on second thought, never mind
If he pitched well it might contribute to a sense that he was all the way back and ready to close again, and I definitely don’t think that’s true, so, best to avoid anything that might lead to Lidge being brought into a tight spot.

Gonzalez with a bloop single over Rollins.
Were Chip Caray calling that game, it would have been “fisted.”
Happ is only up because of the short series right – he’ll pitch in the NLCS game 4 if they get that far?

Happ and Madson warming up in a non closer situation does not indicate to me that they will be your closers.

That one scared me off the bat, probably just owing to Helton’s lifetime body of work vs. the Phils.
Or the phils lifetime body of work when you’re a fan of them :)

Have no idea what happened, but Werth had NO IDEA that ball was coming at him. Not that he could’ve done anything about it.
*sigh*
He’s a douche

I just love that everyone else on set is wearing a suit and tie… except for David Wells, who has a half-unbuttoned brown shirt. Classy.
