what’s sad is that I think Cincy has a better chance of beating them than the Cards did. The cardinals are in shut down mode (ala the Cubs last year) already.

otoh,
we can pull into a season record tie with the Cards if we win tonight.

that inning had such promise.
Ah well, 29 pitches makes Nats bullpen more likely.

(doing my best LA impersonation...)
This late season call up stuff is a joke. You can’t even get into a bullpen and hurt it now, they’ve got like 18 guys out there. It makes no sense to allow the last 30 games in a year to have different rules than the rest of the year.

Hey Larry...
THE PHILS PLAY BY THE SAME RULES AS ALL THE OTHER TEAMS. THEY CAN CALL UP PEEPS AND USE THEM IF THEY WANT TOO AS WELL!
by Bilzo on Sep 17, 2009 7:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I thought that might be the Phils strategy too, but apparently the Roles School of Thought prevailed (joined in a sensible coalition with the Rest Young Arms School). To be fair, it looks like the Phils, after seven winning seasons, are starting the Typical Postseason Team™ behavior of guys waking up in late September to get ready. There really wasn’t much use for our high minor league pitchers with these other hurt bullpenners in various stages of DL-dom.

Time to hit the baseball in such a manner that the Nationals cannot catch it or make an effective defensive play, so as to record an out.
Runs plz.

listening to the radio…it’s hard to tell what’s a good play or not. Frantzke starts every ball of by acting like it’s going to fall in, then clamoring how so and so made a spectacular catch.

he was in a full run before falling backwards, over the tarp, into the first row to make the catch.

Well, Ibanez has done really well in the past against the Nats and Victorino has probably gotten the least rest out of all the outfielders. I am guessing that is what this is all about.
