Singles Night: Phillies 7, Mets 5

PrintThe hallmark of the Phillies offense over their recent run of NL East dominance has been power. Half the 2009 lineup were 30-home run hitters, with slugger Ryan Howard leading the way. But with Howard and Chase Utley both on the shelf, and Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez both well off their '09 power pace, the team has sought other ways to score lately. In the eighth inning Friday night against the Mets, six Phillies crossed the plate not only without benefit of the long ball, but lacking so much as an extra-base hit.
Five singles to start off the inning, a walk, another single, a sacrifice fly, and one more single did the damage, with new arrival Mike Sweeney registering the first and last of the hits. Trailing 2-1, Sweeney and Jayson Werth were at first and third when Ben Francisco fell behind hard-throwing Mets reliever Bobby Parnell 0-2, fought off a couple pitches foul, then poked a slider into shallow center to tie the game. Carlos Ruiz got ahead of Parnell before knocking a fastball back up the middle to score Werth and put the Phils ahead. With lefty specialist Pedro Feliciano now in for Parnell, Wilson Valdez laid down a bunt to the third base side that David Wright inexplicably retreated on, allowing Valdez to reach and loading the bases. Feliciano--quite possibly confused to find himself facing Phillies hitters other than perennial adversaries Utley and Howard--fell behind Ross Gload 3-0, battled back to work the count full, then threw an inside fastball for ball four and another Phillies run. Jimmy Rollins banged a hard single to left to make it 5-2. After Raul Ibanez struck out and Manny Acosta came in for Feliciano, Placido Polanco hit a deep fly to center that scored Valdez, and Sweeney--who started at first base, batted cleanup, and made a spectacular diving play to end the top of the eighth--finished things off with a hard single to left center and a 7-2 Phillies lead.
Those last two runs proved useful. On to wrap things up, Danys Baez struck out Wright, but allowed a single to Ike Davis. Josh Thole popped out, but Jeff Francoeur dribbled a grounder up the third base line that refused to roll foul, putting two on with two out. With lefty pinch-hitter Chris Carter announced for the Mets, Charlie Manuel called on J.C. Romero to relieve Baez. But Mets skipper Jerry Manuel pulled back Carter in favor of veteran minor-league slugger Mike Hessman, and the journeyman blasted a Romero offering into the right-field seats to bring the Mets within 7-5. Out came Charlie again, this time to bring in Brad Lidge... and the much-doubted closer finished things off by striking out Jesus Feliciano.
Lost in the late drama were a pair of standout starting pitching performances. Joe Blanton had one of his better outings this year for the Phils, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out four. Jonathon Niese was even better for the Mets, wriggling out of some early jams to hold the Phils to one run on four hits. The young lefty showed a superior curve to complement his cutter, working through early control problems (five walks on the night) to finish seven innings.
Cole Hamels and Johan Santana face off tomorrow night as the Phils go for a lucky thirteenth straight win at home. Now here's the goodness:

I’d pretty much resigned this one to a night of wasted opportunities and inability to get that big hit. The the 8th inning happened and baseball was fun again.
me too
I pretty much had a storyline all laid out in my head that went something like: “well, with all these hitters out and having won a lot lately, I guess we can grudgingly live with the offense serving up its first shitburger in a couple weeks.”
But yeah, this was much better.
I’m not totally up to date on Rules 5 regulations.
Can phils place Herndon on DL, retain his rights, and call up Bastardo to be another lefty in the pen? I think they can. Let’s face it, Herndon won’t be on postseason roster and Bastardo would help out. Romero has lost it. He’s pitching same way he was when Red Sox cut his ass.

I think this used to happen all the time—Rule 5 guys going on the DL with very suspicious injuries. Then the league started to crack down. With only a few weeks left until roster expansion, they’ll probably just try to hang onto Herndon, whom they obviously like for next year and beyond.
Maybe the better idea is to DL Romero, who might well be injured; for his sake, I kind of hope so, because he’s a meltdown right now.
Maybe next time bullpen guy/security/grounds crew guy opens door to field for him, he could trip him. Break a toe. Nothing serious.
In regards to roster, think Utleys return gets pushed back to September 1 day rosters expand? When three On DL return I think Mayberry and Brown sent down, DObbs DFAd. 9/1 return at least saves a Dobbs DFA -can’t believe I just typed that.
by Pedro45 on Aug 6, 2010 11:04 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I think Utley comes back before 9/1. It’ll be very interesting how they handle the roster spots if all three regulars are back by then. Mayberry I’m sure will vacate one spot, but who else goes between Brown, Dobbs and Valdez (I’m assuming Gload, Francisco and Sweeney are all here for the duration, health permitting), I dunno.
Dobbs has to go.
I’m by no means hoping to delay Utleys return. Don’t get me wrong. My girlfriend won’t watch when he’s not playing but that’s not really a bad thing. But for depth concerns and postseason eligibility RAJ has to keep Valdez on 40 man.
by Pedro45 on Aug 6, 2010 11:15 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Probably Mayberry, then Dom, not Dobbs (yes, ugh)
The problem with DFAing Dobbs now is that they have no other backup for the infield (Sweeney and Gload only play 1st). Dobbs DFA has to wait for Utley to come back, and he is not back until Sept according to all reports, so Dobbs is likely here for the duration (at least until the playoffs).
If Howard or Vic come back before Sept 1, buh-bye to Mayberry. But if the 2nd of those is back before Sept, it will be a tough call for management. They either send Dom back or DFA/DL a pitcher and go with one less pitcher on the roster until Sept. I know we have several pitching candidates for DFAing, but it gets trickier if that pitcher were not replaced. It’s more like RAJ to send Dom back than to go with one less pitcher.

Valdez has a really nice glove. Too bad the team will only have a five-man bench in the playoffs.
by Derekcarstairs on Aug 6, 2010 11:25 PM EDT up reply actions
Valdez almost certainly would be on the playoff roster
See above. We DFA’d Castro earlier. Valdez>Dobbs (certainly fielding), so Valdez would be kept on the roster. He would be the only 2nd/SS/3rd base backup.
It is much more likely that we would go with an 11 man pitching staff in the playoffs (but not in August). Assuming no more DL stints, I would suspect a bench of Ben F, Gload, Sweeney, Valdez, Schneider for sure, and maybe Dom (the choice would be Dom vs. pitcher, not Valdez).
But we are getting way, way ahead of ourselves.

I’m trying—unsuccessfully—not to think through who would be on the 25-man playoff roster.
I will say that I’m pretty sure they’d go 2 catchers, 6 infielders, 6 outfielders (Brown likely as #6), 4 starters, 7 relievers (with Kendrick as long man).
Should we sacrifice a chicken to Base’baal for the 13th straight win at home?

A question for all you knowledgeable fans… does it officially count as a blown save when the tying/winning run is scored off of an error by anyone other than the pitcher?
by TwistyWristy on Aug 6, 2010 11:46 PM EDT up reply actions
Yes. If the run is scored on his watch, it counts as a blown save.

Pat’s always been an underrated defender. So-so range, but good arm and always knew his limitations in the field.
by WanderingMoses on Aug 6, 2010 11:43 PM EDT up reply actions
I always liked his arm, but its one of those things where the guys with bad arms get run on more and hence get to throw more guys out. Still…I thought it was pretty good.
I remember cringing at some of the plays Raul made in the field at the start of last season….diving for balls that went under his glove and to the wall….Pat didn’t do that schtick.
by WanderingMoses on Aug 6, 2010 11:46 PM EDT up reply actions
I understand my post was something of a cheap shot, and I generally agree with all of above. Pat was ok as long as he didn’t have to run to get the ball, and he threw out a few runners along the way.
Pat knew his limits. Raul’s errors were more random.

Since both Giants and Braves losing helps the Phils, it would be especially nice if this game went to 13 innings or so and both teams bull pens got burned out a bit.
personally, I’d rather the Giants win this inning as I should really be fully concentrating on working right now…

Nice quote from Sweeney
It was a great team win," said newly acquired Mike Sweeney, who got two hits in the eighth. "It’s exciting to come to the ballpark every day. This is a dream come true."
(Source: AP)
That is one of the best “just happy to be here” cliche-ish quotes I’ve heard in a while. Except he might actually mean it. If he hits AND he has a good attitude, that will work just fine, thank you. Reminiscent of Stairs, except from the right side.

Six team race for 4 spots: 2.5 back
Since this is really a six team race for 4 spots, the aim should be for 1st overall in NL. Right now, they are 2.5 back of SD. Do-able (and that in itself is amazing, given the DL and bullpen).

I like the fact that a thee-run home run in the ninth inning barely shows as a blip on the Fangraph. Which, for all that I was cursing Romero at the time, pretty much sums up how I felt about it. I think the Phillies should always have a five-run lead (or more) going into the 9th.
That would be asking for too much. They wouldn’t be the Phillies that we know and love.
by WanderingMoses on Aug 7, 2010 10:23 AM EDT up reply actions
The good thing about a five run lead is that after scoring 3 runs, most teams have shot their load and the save becomes that much easier with the bases empty following the HR.

Random question, I am going to the game tomorrow and I never go early enough to see batting practice. For a 1:30 start what time do the Phillies take the field for batting practice? Thanks
by TheBeefOnSports on Aug 7, 2010 11:56 AM EDT reply actions
Often they do not take batting practice for a 1:30 start following a night game. But I’d get there as soon as the gates open, which I think is around 2 hours before first pitch. But I think you can check that on the Phillies website.

Thoughts?
http://www.crossingbroad.com/2010/08/missing-piece.html
I am struggling to decide how I feel about this. And maybe I am being overly dramatic about this, and that’s fine but I feel like Howard should have been at last nights game. The article pointed out that Utley was there and I remember seeing Vic. Utley even traveled with the team to Florida, which, given that his issue was a thumb and not an ankle then I can totally understand and support him traveling and Howard not. But considering the faith this team showed Howard by giving him that massive contract I think it’s only fair that he go to games even while he is on the DL and not required to be there, simply to support his team. I guess I would almost understand if this team was in last place and their games were meaningless but that is clearly not the case.
Looking forward to the Kevin Kolb era.

In the same vain, the guy is one of the most durable in the game, rarely ever takes a day off, so I guess this really isn’t any big deal but I do believe pretty strongly in being there to support your team.

He’s likely in quite a bit of pain; if in a few weeks, when he’s resuming any kind of physical/baseball activities and he doesn’t show, then we can talk about it.
I think it’s unfair to compare anyone to Utley; guy is just made of different stuff. He’s a bit of a nutbar, and I totally dig that about him, but he’s uber intense. It doesn’t work for everyone.
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
He may very well be in a ton of pain but if that’s the case, I wouldn’t be grocery shopping and pushing around a cart, or going to a movie or a club(supposedly). I would be resting so that I could come back on time if not early.
I agree that it might be unfair to compare anyone to Utley, and like I said, I don’t think Howard had to, nor should have traveled to Florida like Utley did but even a nut like Vic managed to make it to the game list night. I think that is what gets me the most.
Looking forward to the Kevin Kolb era.

If his teammates aren’t bothered by it, I most certainly am not.
Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.
And they may very well not be and that says a lot about the team if they aren’t. It’s not like Howard doesn’t give 110% everytime out there. I am not trying to slam Howard, he doesn’t have to be there, so it’s not like he is doing anything wrong, and I guess it’s naive to think that just because Howard is on the DL that he should stay laid up at home nursing his ankle, I don’t remember Madson hanging around after his chair kicking DL stint either. I guess for me it comes down to his other team mates being there and his giant pay day.

It all comes down to this: if the Phillies were a bunch of assholes who hated one another, hated the media, couldn’t care less about the fans, abused their puppies, and were members of the KKK, even the black players, but they played excited baseball on the field and won games, including a championship here and there, would you root for them? I bet you would, and so would the entire city. The play on the field is what we pay for, and why we watch the games. What they do on their own time is almost irrelevant. In fact, I kind of operate with the assumption that most of them are not people I’d have any reason to like personally, and I’m completely ok with that. (OK, maybe if they were all KKK members, I’d have to find another hobby….)

I have no problem with him getting a mini-vacation out of this. It’s not like he tried to sprain it. I expect that he’ll be back in the dugout soon. If he just disappeared for the whole stint, I’d be a little miffed, but if he’s getting some R&R during the initial stages…good for him. Howard doesn’t display too much prima-donna-ness, he seems to be a very good team player and fun loving guy, who LOVES his job. Enjoy the time away RyHo. Sorry it’s under these circumstances.
Seriously though – if he disappeared for the entire stint, say a vacation to Tahiti, came back and asked “what’s our record now coach?,” but then proceeded to mash for the last month and a half, leading to the team to the playoffs, would you really be miffed?
by David S. Cohen on Aug 7, 2010 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions
no, i wouldn’t. I’d be ticked at the start, and as soon as he hit a HR that won a game, I’d forgive him.
But I’d have to say that based on his usual early season sub average performances, I have a hard time believing that if he’s away from the game for an extended period of time, that he could walk back and rake right away, and I don’t know if being in the dugout would help with that or not.
