PrintHouston Astros at Philadelphia Phillies, Sep 29, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
The Phillies look with increasing urgency at the quickly gaining Atlanta Braves, hoping they can simply run out the clock, much less get hot, before they're overtaken.
Tonight, J.A. Happ can underline his case for Rookie of the Year with a strong performance against the Houston Astros. He'll be opposed by the anonymous-scrub-who-will-probably-dominate named Freddy Pitchendorf or some crap.
Discuss the game below.

I’m struggling between my desire to see Happ get these guys out, and my desire that he throw at them all.
Only good thing about my iphone crapping out today – no game updates

Risk/reward thing. With runners at 2nd and 3rd, even a bloop base hit scores 2. Even though you turn the lineup over, it’s worth it to get to face a pitcher fresh up from Double-A.
nice jam out
were fans actually cheering and waving the towels unlike last night, they were weak I was there

The crucial thing is for the bats to remain patient. Make Lopez throw strikes, and he’ll start to elevate his sinker.
Or you could just strike out on 3 pitches, Ryan Howard.
Damn this pitcher is good. Maybe he’ll throw a perfect game.

Mr. Positive
that’s me tonight.
So far it is a beautiful early fall night night and we are making outs at record pace. So there’s something to look forward to.
And Werth begins what will start a 6-week skein of ridiculously good luck.
hey the way this is going, when I come up for the weekend

Alright, here’s the question now: Happ’s on 104 pitches, but the Astros’ 7-8-9 hitters are due up next inning, and in case you hadn’t heard, the Phillies bullpen hasn’t exactly been rock solid this year. Do you send him out to at least start the 6th?
It doesn’t matter! All our pitchers I’m sure are up to the task.

And that is why Werth needs to hit before Ibanez come playoff time. If you bring in a lefty specialist to pitch to Chase and Howard, you need to either leave him in to pitch to a lefty-masher, or take your chances with Ibanez against a righty.
Why, this too is a wonderful idea! What a treasure trove of informed opinions we are.

I love Happ’s toughness, but his pitches are flattening out. This has to be it.
Got the PH nicely though.
Check Rob Neyer talking about Crashburn Alley. Bullpen isn’t as bad as we all act it is.
For Who? My teammates.
For What? To Win.
How Much? Where do I sign?
Along the same lines, the starting pitching was pretty horrible at the beginning of the year, and the bull pen got used a lot. I think the Phils are just experiencing the negative effects of that at this stage, with injuries and guys just not pitching up to their level etc. It is easy to get down on a bull pen at the end of the year, because there mistakes are so obvious, but it also isnt really fair to say “Player X sucks, he is giving up tons of runs in September” when he got used a ton early in the year and did pretty well until he got fatigued from overuse.
I agree, I am guessing it is because the pitching spot is up third in the next inning, but with a 5 run lead is that the most important thing? Aside from this year, I cant imagine all these high pitch count games are going to be good for Happ next year
yeah he'll probably have the old tired arm syndrome
common in second year pitchers

12.79 final ERA.
Good job guys, you lowered it by almost 2.00 in that inning alone.
Marlins should have walked him with 1b open and then pitched to the pitchers spot, either getting Kawakami out of the game or else getting a relatively easy second out
C — Brian Schneider
1B - Kaz Matsui
2B -
3B -
SS -
LF — Cody Ross
CF — Juan Pierre
RF — Matt Diaz
I’m open to suggestions for filling the rest of this in. It only needs to be guys that Phillies fans despise, for doing abnormally well against us compared to everyone else.
Indeed, but he always gives us fits. I also nominate Brad Wilkerson for OF.

Actually, we should turn this into a poll in the offseason, do it one position at a time. That’d get the hate flowing.
Freddie Gonzalez an A-Hole
91 pitches tonight for Josh Johnson. Five innings. THEN he puts in Sanchez. Ridiculous. Just ask umps to end game now. Florida not trying to win.
by Pedro45 on Sep 29, 2009 9:20 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
In Gonzalez's defense
Johnson couldn’t find the strike zone the last couple innings. I’m surprised he didn’t walk in a run in the fifth.
Madson warming up… for what, the 6-out save? Please tell me Brad Lidge won’t set foot on the field tonight until the game’s over.

Oh, but Brett Myers has his jacket off and is holding a ball in the bullpen. I wouldn’t advise bringing him in for a save his first game back, but it’s a far superior option to Lidge.
he returned and pitched one game(i think) and was shelved for shoulder muscle
no need to dl him because it was after sept 1 and we could bring anyone up anyway

He’s talked about not getting beat with his second best pitch when he pitches in close and late situations; he’s hung some change ups and paid for it. I still think it’d be good to mix a couple in, but if the fastball’s hitting 97 and you can get it away with it, I won’t argue too strenuously.

jem, ANY time at plate is a plate appearance provided there’s an “outcome” of some kind (i.e., doesn’t count if runner gets picked off mid-appearance).
Sac bunts, sac flies, fielders choices, are all plate appearances but not at-bats.

totally unnecessary but I approve.

Nicely done in Spanish.
