NLCS Advance Scouting Game Chat

The best part of yesterday's snowout in Colorado, for Dodgers' fans, was that it allowed the top starters for both the Phillies and Rockies to pitch Monday in Game 4 on regular rest. With the NLCS starting Thursday at Dodger Stadium, that means no Ubaldo Jimenez or Cliff Lee in Game 1, and if one were to pitch in Game 2 it would be on short rest. Neither Lee nor Jimenez has ever pitched on three days rest in their careers.
If this division series goes five games, that will likely mean no Aaron Cook or Cole Hamels as well, until at least Game 3 of the NLCS.
In other words, it doesn't really matter who wins tonight, but the other team needs to win tomorrow.
Here are the lineups:
| Phillies | Rockies | |||
| SS | Rollins | LF | Gonzalez | |
| CF | Victorino |
CF | Fowler | |
| 2B | Utley | 1B | Helton | |
| 1B | Howard | SS | Tulowitzki | |
| RF | Werth | C | Torrealba | |
| LF | Ibañez | 3B | Atkins | |
| 3B | Feliz | RF | Spilborghs | |
| C | Ruiz | 2B | Barmes | |
| P | Happ | P | Hammel |
|

I could honestly care less who wins tonight
I just want there to be a Game 5!!!
by Seanny Rotten on Oct 11, 2009 6:57 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Exactly. A 23-inning game 5 at that

So . . .
the ALCS is all set with the Angels playing the Yankees.
Why can’t baseball move up the ALCS a couple of days since they both finished their DS series’ early?

angels vs yankees ALCS
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....

let's hope then
if Colorado wins, that the weather clears up, cause I don’t feel like traveling to a place like that is right now to watch the Dodgers _;;

I can’t figure out who I’d rather the Dodgers play. What do you guys think?
by KSeal on Oct 11, 2009 7:53 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I think we'll beat whoever we get set up with
but it’d be nice to give a little payback to the Phils for last years 4 games to 1 drubbing.

Any time with Torreabla in the 5 hole
is who I want in the NLCS
by oshea2002 on Oct 11, 2009 8:11 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
i will say
the Rockies offense is starting to rumble a bit now the playoffs are underway;
-Atkins with some solid hitting and RBIs
-Torrealba with a HR..first since like May(?)
by TheNewbster on Oct 11, 2009 8:13 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
personally, I'm pulling for the Phils
like shaq3, I am sick of the Rockies. Also, I consider that clincher against them at home to be the closing chapter of the ‘09 Rockies-Dodgers saga, and I don’t want to have it reopened. Combine that with UNFINISHED business of last year- which I, like all of you, am still bitter about- and I’d love to see an NLCS rematch.
As far as the relative ease of each opponent, they are both going to be tough to beat, but I think the Rockies “hunger factor” might be a little higher, given that their opponent would be their (superior) NL West rival!
Bring on either one of them, but all things being equal, I’m rooting for the Phils through Wednesday.

And that's why I don't want to see Ruiz. He's a lucky little guy.
by Tripon on Oct 11, 2009 8:36 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
announcer jinxed the Rox
At the beginning of the inning he said that if you want to get to Hammel, get him in the first 3. (The implication being since he got through the first 3 with ease, he’d be sailing) Oh well. If the Rockies want anyone to blame, they have their scapegoat now.

The cheater crushed that
(He was the one who pretended he caught the ball at Dodger Stadium last week, right?)
by sarcastro9 on Oct 11, 2009 8:48 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
the greatest irony is
apparently, they had DAVE HENDERSON throw out the first pitch- talk about tempting fate!

McDonald and DeWitt are playing in the Domincan Winter Leauge for Lincey.
I think Mariano Duncan(Dodgers 1st base coach) is the manager for Lincey this year.

Jamie Hoffmann is also playing winter ball.

And I meant weird to the way the Rockies fans acted about the Contreas comment.

Ok…so they knew you were from this site and the pressure was on them by the Phills at the time so they jumped on you…I see nothing wierd…they saw a chance to vent at anything and they took it….wait until the NLCS

I really do like the
TBS post game crew ripping the Umpires.

If
the Philies were to win, it’d help TV ratings..and BSPN would have a darling for itself…
so on top of that, as well as pride for the NL West, I’d prefer the Rockies win, even when they booed against us in the NLDS.

Say what you want about TNT
but Pujols “gone hunting” was awesome.
Must get that picture.

Buster Olney on Mike and Mike just now
for about 5 minutes, and he talks for 3 minutes about the Redsox/Yankees/Angels, another 2 minutes on the Phillies and Rockies, and then doesn’t say a single word about the Dodgers or Cardinals I believe other than about Holliday dropping the line drive.
These “experts” are douche bags.

I really wonder why Olney hates the Dodgers
I'm nobody's fool, least of all yours
by BoulderDodger on Oct 12, 2009 11:41 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Olney's job w/ his fishwrap was to cover the Yanks.
NOW HEAR THIS: No writer from the eastern seaboard thinks anything happens west of the Adirondacks. I’m not even giving them any credit for having any knowledge of anything past the Mississippi.
