Game Thread #165: Phillies (2-0) vs. Brewers (0-2)

Mordecai_brown_tiny by Jeff Sackmann on in Game Threads Comment 509 comments

Philadelphia Phillies @ Milwaukee Brewers


The must-winniest game in the last quarter-century of Brewers baseball starts at 5:37 CT.  Not 5:36, not 5:38, 5:37.

That reminds me: The most annoying thing about my two days at Citizen's Bank Park was that, before each game, the PA guy told everybody to stand up and wave their rally towels because TBS was going on the air.  I understand it's all about TV revenues, but...dude, I'm at a baseball game.  My goal is not to displaying my municipal pride (even if I were a Philadelphian) by showing that I'm the media's bitch.

But I digress.

The pitching matchup is a pretty darn good one for Game 3 between two teams not exactly heralded for rotation depth.  Dave Bush has a 3.50 ERA in 16 home starts, along with a 3.91 mark in the second half.  Jamie Moyer is having the best year of his career since 2003, and--unfortunately for the Crew--has nearly even platoon splits.

The lineups are pretty standard; of course Corey's in there despite my prayers to the contrary.  (A buddy of mine texted earlier that Hart is going to go deep tonight.  Some of us are more optimistic than others...)

I really mean it this time: GO BREWERS!

Pee your pants

If people agree to pee their pants if the Brewers make the playoffs they should agree to do something much crazier if Hart hits a HR.

No agreement needed

If Hart hits a homerun I won’t be able to stop myself from at least soiling my pants.

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

Ummmm Corey...

Anyone catch this gem of a quote from Thursday?

“Nothing is working right now with a lot of the guys,” Hart said. “We’re trying to see pitches and see what we can do. … I’m not going to sit there and walk, though. I’ll eventually find it, and hopefully we’ll still be in it.”

Link

I, for one, think this is a good plan.

And neck size to baby eating ratio.

oh my

Yes, that would suck if you got on base Corey. I would much rather see you generate alternative energy like a windmill.

two responses

a) if he figures out how to literally “sit there and walk,” I’ll be impressed.

b) as the wise man once said, “you can’t take a walk if you always swing the bat.”

Also, cheese.

by Jeff Sackmann on Oct 4, 2008 5:17 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Horrible, horrible batting approach

If the pitcher isn’t giving you pitches to hit, you take them and walk.

A walk is more productive than an out.

Now with 100% more Canuck.

Two quick notes:

1) I’m not going to participate in today’s game thread. I was here for game 1 and 2 (after not being here for most of the season), and we saw how games 1 and 2 turned out. So I’m departing once I finish this message.

2) I’m baking pumpkin bars right now.

Deer, RF
Braggs, LF
Sheffield, SS
Meyer, 1B
Polidor, 3B

Josh Hamilton turning to drugs, then returning to dominate this year; Brett Favre breaking his addiction to painkillers and alcohol; Ulysses S. Grant failing at about a billion things before becoming the winning Union general; Abe Lincoln losing election after election before becoming a great President.

Soon to be added to the annals: Corey Hart playing like crap before driving in the winning run (Craig Counsell, of course) in game 5 of the 2008 NLDS.

I'm pretty sure

You have to keep the ball in your glove PERIOD. If it falls out you didnt catch it.

OK

 It is not a catch, however, if simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player, or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball.

Just being fair dude,. If that was the other way around everyone would be saying “no catch”

According to the official rules a catch is

A CATCH is the act of a fielder in getting secure possession in his hand or glove of
a ball in flight and firmly holding it; providing he does not use his cap, protector, pocket or
any other part of his uniform in getting possession. It is not a catch, however, if
simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player,
or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball.
It is not a catch if a fielder touches a fly ball which then hits a member of the offensive team
or an umpire and then is caught by another defensive player. If the fielder has made the
catch and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the catch, the ball shall
be adjudged to have been caught. In establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall
hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his
release of the ball is voluntary and intentional.

So a guy can catch the 3rd out, start trotting in with it, drop it, and its not an out?

No, it would be an out

Because in that case he would not have collided with anyone or anything.

If it was right after catching the ball

But if he took a couple steps and then fell, it’s still an out because he didn’t fall down immediately.

Hart didn’t come up with the ball after hitting the ground. Oh well.

Why yank Bush?

That’s a bad move as far as I’m concerned.

by TimQMills on Oct 4, 2008 7:39 PM CDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed.

He can get out of jams. I don’t see him giving up more than 1 run here, and Brewers have a 3-0 lead.

He’s only thrown 70 pitches.

The Brewers bullpen (no offense) is not that great. Especially with GagMe and others.

Now with 100% more Canuck.

by Blicks on Oct 4, 2008 7:41 PM CDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Agreed

He’s only at about 70 pitches, I think. And he’s not shown signs of faltering.

I just don't get why you'd use one of your better relievers for one batter

Why not let Gagne face Burrell and then save Villanueva for the seventh. Sigh.

Hopefully, yes. Again, horrible idea to pull Bush.

Keep McClung for tomorrow with capability to go deep relief. especially with Soup pitching.

Do NOT let Gagne pitch in this game.

He gives up a homer now and then. The hitters have all seen him tonight. Howard who has been scorching the ball was up. Great idea to get him out.

than Gagne or Mota anywhere in the game.
