Did the wind kill that flyball?
With the swing Furcal had, I thought it would have at least gone to the warning track.
getting good hits early
just hitting them to a body
crap
At least we’re hitting Lee well

Keep on hitting to the Left fielder.
And another ball that should have went a lot longer with no wind.
Isn't Ibanez considered a shittier fielder than even Manny?
by Michael White on Oct 18, 2009 5:13 PM PDT up reply actions
In that case
Wait until his lousy hands reappear – then start hitting to him again.

Although, if you believe in UZR, Ibanez is an slightly above average left fielder this year.
Of course being a good left fielder doesn’t mean you’re a good defensive outfielder.

Bears vs Falcons on NBC
should be a good game
bills needs plenty of time to warm up though
if he’s going to be coming in like a starter
Tomorrow will be our game guys
they got Blanton going and I think Wolf will rebound well from his last outing
i knew we were in for a Long long game
when kuroda wasnt given a strike on his second pitch of the night and the second pitch to victorino and one of the pitches to utley…
i saw the ump giving hiroki a small strike zone and i knew it was not going to be a good night
godammit
stupid laptop has to overheat
now this
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
there is no questioning kuroda
He HAS DOMINATED THE PHILLS IN HIS CAREER
umm he has not pitched in over a month
I think there is room for questioning.
by trainwreck84 on Oct 18, 2009 5:36 PM PDT up reply actions
I think the only questions were rust, and that bit us in the balls hard
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
utley and victorino were broken bats
howard and werth was 2-1 3-1 counts where hiriki threw fastballss instead of his great offspeed pitches
Broken bat?
Utley smoked the ball so hard that Victorino couldn’t score from second
by Michael White on Oct 18, 2009 5:37 PM PDT up reply actions
but his lack of command put him behind in every count
William Doolittle at your service, a.k.a. will do.
Absolutely
and Bills has struggled mightily in the second half. Nothing wrong with that call at all.
Bullshit
Kuroda barely pitched this season.

if he gets out of the inning with no more damage
do you wait to go to billingsley? maybe until you can hit for kuroda?
Fuck that
Kuroda looked terrible.
Billingsley should have pitched from the beginning anyway; no sense in compounding the problem.
by Michael White on Oct 18, 2009 5:36 PM PDT up reply actions
YEAH
WTF IS WRONG WITH OUR F’in pitch calling
Whose calling for these pitches? torre or martin
torre is an idiot calling for all these fastballs
every hit came off a fastball.. hes gotta call for the 5 other pitches kuroda posses
great
how are we going to get 4 runs off Lee?
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
good point. citizens bank is a better hitters park.
we should get 5

It can be done. The Loons did it in the playoffs this year – most exciting game I ever saw.

Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
I don't think we can be too critical of Joe for this
Kuroda just didn’t get it done. I’d have gone to Bills, but there was no great option (maybe 3 man rotation would have worked) – and Kuroda had owned Philly, albeit at home.
Isn't that an unrealistic expectation?
Expecting a pitcher to “get it done” when they’ve had injury troubles all year and hadn’t pitched in a month?
by Michael White on Oct 18, 2009 5:43 PM PDT up reply actions
But that assumes there was someone else we could expect to get it done
there isn’t though
Pitch the best pitcher available
Which is Billingsley
by Michael White on Oct 18, 2009 5:46 PM PDT up reply actions
That would have been my choice too
but I think we both agree it’s not a great option. It’s the one I’d have taken, but still.
I doubt Wolf could have gone on three day's rest

That's the only possible scenario
where a 3-man rotation would be viable, if Wolf could go on 3-day’s rest.

Padilla threw last
by Michael White on Oct 18, 2009 5:48 PM PDT up reply actions
i live in philly
and remember him throwing a gem last year in the regular season. i think the pen blew it, though.
It was a bit of a catch-22
if Bills comes out and gets shelled half of us say “Look at his second half, how do you start him?” Kuroda gets shelled and the other half say, “He hasn’t pitched in forever, how do you start him?”
That's what I'm saying
there was no great option.
I will defend 2009 Billingsley to the death.
If the Dodgers had scored any runs in his last 2 starts, he would be proclaimed “back” and this would not be an issue.
by delias man on Oct 18, 2009 5:45 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
I think Bills would have been a solid choice
I would have put him out there with a crazy-short leash for the 5th and 6th, let our bullpen work after that.
That said, I had confidence in Kuroda to bitch much better than he is showing tonight. Hindsight is a bitch.
DP ball - inning over
Doesn’t look like we have it today
not in the first couple innings

They want Elbert so they can pinch hit next inning

I was a bit afraid
Philly was going to trade an Eagles loss for a Phillies win, and they’re trying hard for that…
On the plus side
Props to me for not driving 2hrs and paying $180 to attend this game
u saved urself alot of pain and misery
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
Here's the thing.
The Dodgers must have known about Kuroda’s command before he was given this start, right?
maybe they figured that once he shook off the rust he would be fine?

found that out the hard way
i really don't see the basis for that
he had one bad inning – joe just gave him the world’s shortest rope because he doesn’t trust k’ballers – and he had found the zone beautifully before that liner to the leg.

I say we start head hunting
Starting with Howard
um why didnt they use bills
Because when I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven and the age of Romanticism....
positive thought
If this does wind up being a loss, it doesn’t count extra for being by a lot of runs. If the Dodgers can get all the putrid out of their systems at once, they will be better off in the long run.
(I’m trying to find something here.)
