Arizona Diamondbacks at Philadelphia Phillies, Aug 18, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Pedro Martinez makes his home debut with the Phillies tonight versus the Diamondbacks' Jon Garland.
I'm guessing Mark Reynolds is good for at least two home runs this series.
Discuss the game below.

Re: Reynolds
As long as they are solo home runs and the Phils have a 6 run lead at the time.

by taco pal on Aug 18, 2009 10:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think that’s likely for the DHs. Though I guess they could go with Carpenter or Lopez too, depending on how things play out in terms of his usage.
If you have to go through a heavy stretch like what they have coming up, best to hit it in September.
by dajafi on Aug 18, 2009 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I posted just below about leaving Moyer in for the rest of the game, it seems like it would make a decent amount of sense to go 6 man rotation for two weeks or so
by Whack8888 on Aug 18, 2009 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Dont you just leave Moyer in through the end of the game here anyway? That would probably end up giving him about 80 pitches for the outing, which is a lot for relief but obviously he is not really a relief pitcher. They can just give him like 4 or 5 days rest afterwards and he can come in for another long relief situation or maybe a 3 inning thing or something.
by Whack8888 on Aug 18, 2009 10:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
