World Series Yanks and Phils

Mad_Max

Suprised there hasn't been a thread on this yet.

Looks like game 3's about to get under way thankfully.

I have to say I'm LOVING ozzie commentating on fox atm

Mad_Max

Well that wasn't a good inning at all

Looks like Pettite is really struggling to get the righties to chase anything outside the zone. The lefties are obliging...pity they're not all lefties

Gdep

a-bomb......from a-rod

Mad_Max

I instant replay....

..well for now

Gdep

typical a-rod...hr followed by error

Mad_Max

His defence has been a bit sloppy this series. I thought it was an error on him for the run scored in game 2 of AJ.

Gdep

that was a definite error...it went directly under his glove.....swish got a hit...now wer talkin

Mad_Max

LOL pettitte looked stunned as he was leaving the box after that hit!

Credit to victorino, at least made it a close play at the plate.

They gave it as a hit i'm pretty sure. Bit of a hometown scoring decision.

Gdep

the way they batted in the first two games i did not see this coming...good hit by pettitte.....if he goes seven with the score as it is...does mo go 2 innings again??

o i know they scored it a hit...i was just saying i felt it was an error...definite hometwon decision...if a-rod had 6 k's and an error they would have been all over him

Mad_Max

Yeah its about time the hits came. Up till now its been scrapy scoring.

I dunno, Joes capable of making that call but I'm not sure if he should, we can't keep running him out for 2 innings. Depends on whos due up I guess. If the top of the order is up in the 8th I'd go to him and if he gets worked hard then I might change it for 9th.

We need to hold the lead first though

Mad_Max

I hate looking at pitch counts but he's at least in decent shape to get through 7. Seems to have settled down a bit and is hitting his spots a bit more.

Would like to see another run or two tacked on so Mo isn't needed for 2. Haaps a tough nut though!

Gdep

poor ab from jorge...no need to swing there....he should get through 7 ok....robertson then mo i would say....might add some runs here so mo night be required.

what do you think about CC on short rest tomorrow?

Mad_Max

I like it! much more than Gaudin on like a months rest thats for sure

I think CC had 7 days rest before game 1 so he should be plenty rested and has been superb in most of his 3 day rest starts (baring one against the phils last year :P)

I like the call for roberston in the 8th. real swing and miss stuff.

OH AND BOOM GET OUTTA THERE SWISH!

Gdep

he got a hold of that one. girardi looks like a genius again for going back to swish and leaving matsui out.

Mad_Max

This game could work out well for yanks tomorrow too.

Blanton has an 8+ era against the yanks and will be on an almightly tight hook with uncle charlie if they can get at him. Haap would have been the obvious choice to be the long man for them if needed. With him pitching here he won't be that guy.

This could be our chance to get into that pen

Edit: damn you werth!

Gdep

it seems to be one guy every night that the pitchers have problems with.....i like coke and robertson up...no mo for 2 innings if girardi is to be believed

Mad_Max

If thats the case coke and marte could be the keys to this game.

Big K there for andy on Feliz. I was starting to fear this inning would get away from him.

Gdep

interesting that durbin is up for them...you would have thought he would have been another relief option for blanton tomorrow. Wouldnt think it would be in a managers mindset but it seems they may be counting tomorrow as a loss already and concentrating on winning this one...........on the other hand i am probably completely wrong

Mad_Max

I reckon andy's done now. Either way 9 huge outs for the course of the series.

Mad_Max

OK which version of Joba will we get?

Gdep

is it just me or has cano the worst attitude ever at the plate???

Gdep

im praying for 07 joba...:rolleyes:


before the midges got him of course

Mad_Max

Ah 07 joba, how I miss thee!

Nice effort by him there. Was afraid Joe would go straight to Marte with Utley up.

Mad_Max

Matsui in the hole so Joba's done.

Gdep

why o why is phil hughes pitching the 8th

Mad_Max

A thrilllllla from Godzilla

I reckon phil will be on a short leash. 2 guys reach and mo's coming in.

Gdep

who am i to question girardi tonight haha...joba perfect...godzilla pinch hit homer... to think i wasnt gonna stay up for this

Mad_Max

Excellent work from Marte! He's really got that slider fixed.

Ironic that Hughes was the lights out guy during the regular season and then the wheels came off but marte was a dud in the regular and is now pitching out of his skin.

So Hughes for the 9th and try and save Mo me thinks.

Gdep

lack of faith in hughes i think shown there
