Arizona Diamondbacks at Philadelphia Phillies, Jul 29, 2010 7:05 PM EDT
Joe Saunders, the "centerpiece" of the Angels heist of Dan Haren last week, gets the start tonight against Kyle Kendrick, the last-man-standing from this spring's back-end of the Phillies rotation.
Discuss the game below. PS - Roy Oswalt!

In a fight between Lizze Borden and Kyle Kendrick, it would be unwise to underestimate the scrappy survivor in Kyle Kendrick.

Eh, I wouldn’t get that cocky, seeing that we’re not exactly killing it on the road. I will note however, until the insanely awful 2-6 recent roadtrip we were close to .500 on the road. Additionally, it’s the Nats and Fish, but it would be unwise to get cocky. Still we can dream.

I think it does…pitchers pitch differently depending who is at the plate and who is on deck. As someone who has pitched, has been on the mound when catchers and the pitching coach discuss how to pitch someone because of the factors I just mentioned then yes, I do think it exists.

Someone brought up the R/L matchup. Insted of throwing Brown out against a Lefthander give BF the start.

by SportingFanaticism on Jul 29, 2010 7:41 PM EDT up reply actions
He isn’t really dumb. He has certain blind spots. Overall, he’s mediocre. But he does do some smart things as well as some dumb things.
This trade didn’t require any genius. Wade was in a very weak negotiating position because (1) Oswalt demanded a trade, (2) Oswalt had a no-trade clause, (3) the Astros are unlikely to contend at any point during Oswalt’s current contract, and (4) Oswalt’s value declines every day you keep him, all other things being equal. Like most business deals, oftentimes the key isn’t being smarter than the other guy, but just knowing what the other guy’s bargaining position is like, and if it’s weak, to exploit it.
Not to mention that every day another trade partner dropped out of the picture due to money (Dodgers, Atlanta) losing streaks (St. Louis), rivalries (St. Louis again), etc.
If St louis offered a better deal and wade passed, that’s just silly. I mean come on – the astros aren’t contending for the life of oswalts contract anyway.

With no outs, I tolerate it, because you are staying out of the DP, but with one out, all you need is an incredibly shitty AB by the next hitter and the whole thing is down the drain.

I agree…I don’t understand that rationale behind that at all…Charlie rested Brown, presumably because Saunders is a lefty and yet he brought Brown in to PH vs Saunders.

5-8-10...the day the Purdue Boilermakers basketball team won the 2011 NCAA Championship!!
Wanted to give him an AB, but not a start.
A pinch-hit AB is hardly as draining as a start. Makes sense to me.
I get the point of a PH chance but not vs a lefty. Not when you have other options on the bench.
Looking forward to the Kevin Kolb era.

buddy was pointing out to me how the phillies defensive performance changed when Rollins and Polanco came back. His point was having Valdez/Rollins/Polanco (3rd/ss/2b) was a ridiculously talented fielding bunch in their proper positions.
Now, the question is, how much inferior is Valdez/Rollins/Polanco
compared to Polanco/Rollins/Utley. Defensively.
A Kendrick timeline
July 19: Kendrick pounded by the Cardinals
July 20: Kendrick demoted
July 20: Moyer hurt (by pure coincidence)
July 24: Moyer placed on DL
July 24: Kendrick brought back, outpitches Jimenez
July 29: Happ traded

I don’t know how many doctors are on the payroll…but I’d imagine if time was of the essence, they could put one on a plane and fly him to Philly to tell JA to turn his head and cough.
agreed….but I’m assuming that all the MLB medical evaluation facilities are similar. Ergo…fly a doc up and have him check out Happ before they finalize the trade.
Especially with Happ coming off a 2.5 month DL stint.

You've got to be kidding me
I wasn't even a year old but I stayed up to be outside the Vet with my Dad and Mom when the Phillies won the World Series 1980.
So...
…if you’re a pitcher in a tight situation with Howard, you basically just throw him trash right? I mean, that’s the strategy? Throw him shit and he’ll K.
F THIS I'M WATCHING JERSEY SHORE.

7. NO SPORTS TEAM ON THE FACE OF THIS EARTH HAS MORE HEART THAN THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
It’s not plural.

John Jameson and Sons.
Hence, Jameson’s whiskey.
Do you order a Jameson’s at the bar? Lemme know how that works.

Sarcastic jibe at bar grammar aside (it’s a good thing there’s no other whiskey known as Jameson), seriously you will never ever, ever have to call it Jameson’s. It It follows the whole Octopus rule when it comes to plural and possessive forms.

Eh. Tomato, Tom-ah-to.
From one snob to another, have you ever tried Green Spot? It’s exceedingly tough to get, but worth a try.
me too, regrettably. Slumming with Canadian Club.

I don't know where I'll be then,
But I probably won’t smell too good.
Looks like we won’t see Matt Capps this weekend if we are down in the 9th against the Nubbinals.

He isn’t really a closer….he is an 8th inning guy moreso.

unfortunately this game will be longer than 20 minutes

Supposedly Matt Capps is on the verge of being traded to the Twins.
Looking forward to the Kevin Kolb era.

I WANT WERTH WALK-OFF
"They say that nobody is perfect. Then they tell you practice makes perfect. I wish they'd make up their minds." - Wilt Chamberlain
I’d like a walk-off so I can find out what happened earlier today. I know Oswalt’s a Philly now. Sounds like another good addition to the pitching staff in late July.

jayson stark says that oswalt doesnt add much ha

It’s easy to grin,
when your ship comes in,
and you’ve got the stock market beat,
But a man Werth-while,
is one that can smile,
when he puts a ball deep in the seats
Another chance for PSUFlyers
Werth with the walk-off so I can board my flight to D.C. with extra joy in my heart?
ugh crap.
Baez in the pen.

Ok step one, get someone on base.
Step two, advance the runner into scoring position.
Step three…score.
Step four, celebrate.

I was praising him with his defense!

His defence has seemed preety good all year just not his bat.

A sentence I never quite thought possible. Does this mean we can’t call him Exxon anymore?
