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

PrintPhiladelphia Phillies at Milwaukee Brewers, Oct 4, 2008 5:37 PM CDT
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.
September 15: Not a bad little Monday
No agreement needed
If Hart hits a homerun I won’t be able to stop myself from at least soiling my pants.

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.”
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.

How's he going to find it if they're not still in it?

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.

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.

This is just my opinion, but
the defensive upgrade isn’t worth the offensive downgrade b/w Durham and Counsell.
Durham isn’t a Dan Uggla type in the field. He can play decent defense.

Matchup?
Counsell is 1 for 1 vs. Moyer, Durham has much more matchups, but is hitting .205 over 41 PAs.
Hardly matters now, though.

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.
Never mind
We don’t need no stinking rules.

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.

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

Blanton may or may not pitch Sunday:
Joe Blanton is ready to pitch Sunday. Never mind there might not be a game. Or that Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel won’t say for sure whether Blanton is getting the ball if there is. “I’m just approaching it like there is a game,” the right-hander said before Saturday’s NL playoff game against the Milwaukee Brewers. With a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series, the Phillies had a chance to close it out at Miller Park on Saturday and advance to their first NL championship series since 1993. Though the Brewers announced Jeff Suppan would start Sunday’s game, if needed, Manuel has held off identifying his starter. “Joe Blanton is our fourth starter,” Manuel said. “Right now, we’re concentrating on winning this game. I know we’re two up, and tonight could finish it if we win. But we came to the ballpark to win tonight, and that’s the way we’ve been doing it every day. I might be getting boring, but I want to stick to that way.”

If anyone wants the rule book explanation of what happened:
INTERFERENCE
(a) Offensive interference is an act by the team at bat which interferes with, obstructs, impedes, hinders or confuses any fielder attempting to make a play. If the umpire declares the batter, batter-runner, or a runner out for interference, all other runners shall return to the last base that was in the judgment of the umpire, legally touched at the time of the interference, unless otherwise provided by these rules.
Rule 2.00 (Interference) Comment: In the event the batter-runner has not reached first base, all runners shall return to the base last occupied at the time of the pitch.
