Los Angeles Dodgers @ Philadelphia Phillies GameThread, Oct 21, 2009 5:07 PM PDT

meh, its pretty hard to say which team is more dominant, girardi is an idiot. if you can get to extras with the yanks they arent as scary. The phillies meanwhile are gonna score even more likely

In Kobe we trust!

but the Phils could go off in Yankee stadium

What kind of scouting report do we have on Werth?

All series, why haven’t we been busting him inside so he can’t get his arms extended?

by BFDC on Oct 21, 2009 5:32 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

3-0 count to him

Padilla had to throw strikes

by PHAT JULIO on Oct 21, 2009 5:33 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yea, but why set up on the outside corner on everything?

Why not throw some pitches on the inner half of the plate. Everything was an outside fastball

by BFDC on Oct 21, 2009 5:34 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

what killed him was the two previous walks

By pitching around people, he gave Philly free runs. A solo homer would only have tied it. He kept the bases empty for the first two batters, then seemed to get nervous.
