World Series Game Five Discussion Thread, Yankees at Phillies, November 2, 2009

New York Yankees at Philadelphia Phillies, Nov 2, 2009 7:57 PM EST


One thing is for certain: This is the last baseball game in Philadelphia this year.

The Phillies, down 3 games to 1, look to stay alive in the 2009 World Series behind their ace Cliff Lee, who has been virtually unhittable the entire postseason.  He'll be opposed by A.J. Burnett, who was virtually unhittable in Game Two.

Keep that glimmer of hope alive.

Victorino should get yanked right now and sent for X-rays. If it’s not broken, they can at least let him see how he feels Wednesday morning (if there’s a game).

I think so, let Cliff go another inning then pull him. It gives us a better chance if we pull off game 6

it should be considered to have Lee pitch 7 games. It’s likely impossible, but it should be considered.

Not on 2 days rest.

But, as has been pointed out, he can go a couple of innings in the pen.

But it’s worthless to talk about this now. Still need to finish this one out and then go for Game 6.

by wildcatlh on Nov 2, 2009 10:06 PM EST up reply actions  

Agreed…

But, in the case that is goes 7. Charlie will manage it like an all star game. Hamels will start on the shortest leash possible. Then Lee is good for 3, Blanton for 4, and then everyone else.

by Sals Stache on Nov 2, 2009 10:10 PM EST up reply actions  

Unless our bats reawaken, no way I take Lee out until he finishes 8 or obviously is losing his stuff. Maybe not even then.

by dajafi on Nov 2, 2009 10:08 PM EST reply actions

If you guys, Rosenthal and McCarver, understood what BABIP was, you would know why he was frustrated. But alas, we’re in the pre-Bill James era, so let’s question Hamels’ mental readiness to play baseball.”

It is fascinating to me that Happ is so far off the radar.

by Jay on Nov 2, 2009 10:14 PM EST up reply actions  

I’m a huge Happ fan, but he hasn’t exactly been gangbusters in the postseason, and in the big picture, he’s simply an inferior pitcher to Hamels. I don’t see it as much of a decision, honestly.

by PhillyFriar on Nov 2, 2009 10:16 PM EST up reply actions  

It seems kind of ridiculous to use “postseason performance” as an argument in favor of starting Hamels over Happ.

by Jay on Nov 2, 2009 10:17 PM EST up reply actions  

You’re right, and that’s not what I’m advocating. I’m saying that Hamels is a better pitcher than Happ, and Happ doesn’t have anything (i.e. recent awesome performance, facing a lefty-dominated lineup) that would cause me to start an inferior pitcher.

by PhillyFriar on Nov 2, 2009 10:19 PM EST up reply actions  

The “something” is Hamels’ recent performance, not Happ’s. Hamels has allowed 25 ER in his last six starts, 28.2 IP. That’s a 7.85 ERA over a long month of starts. At what point do you say, okay, maybe “merely J.A. Happ” would be a better option? 10 bad starts in a row? 15?

I think who “starts” Game Seven, if we get there, is a non-question. It’s a “bullpen game,” if you consider every pitcher on the roster part of the bullpen.

While this is generally true, the reality is that trying to cobble together nine winning innings out of relievers (and short-rest starters) is not much of a winning strategy. The starter matters.

My exam ends just in time to get into the car and find a station that is broadcasting the world series that i can receive (KTAR out of arizona thank you for having a strong night time signal to reach California) and I get to hear the 9th inning and just hope my earlier comment before the game started didn’t come true.

I guess Madson was a better choice than Lidge – but my only ‘confidence’ in winning tonight hinged on Cliff Lee going 9 – I just got home – why didn’t he go nine?

Thanks, seeing 6-2 when the first portion of the exam broke was awesome – then coming out after the ‘hands on extra credit’ (lousy reception on campus) and seeing 8-5 i got a queasy feeling

how much time do you have?

It starts with the Victorino soap opera—Charlie lifts him to start T8, sends Lee in to pitch with an 8-2 lead. Lee immediately gets ground ball that Rollins can’t get out of his glove.

Then a bunch of other stuff happened. And we won game 5.

by Wet Luzinski on Nov 2, 2009 11:44 PM EST up reply actions  

I was wondering why he wasn’t in center, thought maybe the HBP hurt him earlier in the game.

Why pull him if not hurt – and not pulling double switch?

Pettitte was a whiny bitch today I heard (paraphrasin) when talking about the idea of pitching game 6 – I guess Girardi has to consider that if Pettitte feels ‘gassed’ he’ll pitch like it?

Regardless, it sounds like a good situation to us. Either a Pettitte who clearly doesn’t feel up to par or somebody with no experience.

Gaudin stats—keep in mind Girardi moved up CC to avoid pitching him. He’s not bad, but nothing suggests he’s dominant. In the funhouse mirror Gaudin kind of has the Happ role for NY.

Now—close observers of the Phillies know that this means instant doom.
