Good win tonight. Rebound strong after the weekend. Great effort.

Valdez has turned in 3 DPs now, improving his VaDP

The Doc is right, Lee just wanted to hit (makes sense, who’s left in the bench anyway?)

No problem with Herndon out there for two innings. Particularly since it seems that Schwimmer is capable of going multiple innings if need be.

Here’s the thing. Everyone was complaining that the bullpen, especially Madson, is tired. Let Lee finish the game and give the bullpen a break. What do you say?

If it weren’t a 10 run game, I would agree with you.

I’m in favor of letting the Pitcher pitch his whatever he usually does to complete the game. Each pitcher has his own limits as to how much work he can get in. Unless the Mets show some life leave Lee in there, keep resting the Bullpen, those rain delays really put a number on them.

I don’t know man…I think they were just letting him hit.

By: FC

Guess Lee will pitch one more. Otherwise he wouldn’t be batting. Almost hit it out of the park too. Kendrick is relieved…

I know I everyone disagrees with me with this, but if you have a horse like this, let him complete the game. I’m old school like Steve Carlton in this manner.

Apparently Gload and Martinez are now in the game. Sorry ‘bicepts but this should be Lee’s last inning.

The only time I watch G4 is for a gaming show ala Mass Effect 2/3. Other than that, no.

I hope the Phillies drop a 15 spot against them. They need to beat them down like the Mutts they are. Also, to add injury to insult, let Cliff Lee complete the game.

You’ve never seen “Ninja Warrior” on G4 channel? It originated in Japan and is essentially obstacle courses…4..each one progressively harder. Only 3 people have ever successfully completed all 4 stages…no Americans.

Mr. Over rated with a two run bomb….his first at home as a member of the Phillies.

By: halladaysbiceps

halladaysbiceps — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:07:19 +0000

Not familiar with that show. Can American Ninja Warrior take on Chuck Norris? Who would win in that fight?

By: drmonkeyarmy

drmonkeyarmy — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 01:01:06 +0000

If anybody is interested, American Ninja Warrior finale is showing on NBC right now. I am DVRing and will watch after game.

Ahh thank you, so it’s at what now? +1? +2? or is that a pct?

halladaysbiceps — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:56:41 +0000

I will be replying on the second page now. I just wanted to say that maybe over the course of time I would like to meet up with you, maybe at a Phils game or someting, wives/girlfriends in tow. It would be pretty good. Besides Chris F., you are the most knowledgeable Phillies fan that I have ever conversed with here.

The saber community cringes as Sarge suggests that batting in a certain line-up spot has a definite effect on performance.

By: drmonkeyarmy

drmonkeyarmy — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:53:01 +0000

After forgetting the batting order, it appears as though Angel Pagan has been lifted from the game.

By: halladaysbiceps

halladaysbiceps — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:51:26 +0000

That would improve his VaDP saber stat.

Thanks. Been for like a year already. We have lived together for 2 years now.

Valdez is bailed out a GDP by the fact that there were already 2 outs. So his ODP/DDP numbers are still 0/1

By: halladaysbiceps

Yeah, they are called Sabermaticians, the new baseball cult.

Congratulations, Doctor, with your engagement. My girlfriend just bought new curtins for the bedroom, so she’s ironing them right now. She’s leaving me alone to my Phillies. She’s in heaven, and so am I.

Ruiz has really been swinging the bat well recently.

By: FC

FC — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 00:40:23 +0000

Yeah, they haven’t been playing well. Fortunately for them, the Giants haven’t been lighting it up either

Now I may have to revise my opinion of the AL Central vs the NL West. At least in the AL Central they are TRYING to win the division.
