You are absolved

102 pitches through 6
You pretty much have to hit for Billingsley, due up 4th, but Torre has shown a weird pattern of not doing that.
Loney loves the new thread
Billingsley has come for revenge. Cold and precise. Like Gazpacho soup.

He's done.
This has to be his last inning.

Kensai – was that one long enough to meet with your approval?

he killed last inning. leave him with someone in the bullpen should he give up a base.
Look at that, he hit the f*cking bull! Guy gets a free steak!

L-L-L-LONEY
Maybe he’ll go on a homer tear. At least he’s going to in my mind.

That is his style. By the way totally agree on how he handled the bullpen last night. I’d comment but my google account is all messed up.

i liked the use of the bullpen last night but
i think his bullpen use has been questionable all year

I've never seen him look as pissed as he looked last Friday
when the 2 runs scored in the 7th. In a way, that was almost a good sign.
by Eric Stephen on May 14, 2009 12:18 PM PDT up reply actions
Last pitch was 94 mph
What range did he start in?

Billingsley against lefties coming into this game
BA against: .245/
OPS against: .657
That’s going to be updated.
nope just wade…the philly announcers were confused why no left was up

Complaining that in the NL they have to pinch hit for a pitcher whose pitching a good game.

BY the way I’m enjoying the team of Collins/Lyons.

Man, I hope this punches Bills ticket to the all star game.
He won’t start, that’s Santana’s privilege, but damn, he should be able to go.
If Bills doesn't go
I will be leading a rampage.

That unearned run in the 3rd inning was the first unearned run all season for a Phillies starter.

Broxton gets some time this inning
if Wade allows two runners, methinks.
AKA Broxton doesn’t pitch this inning.
I wouldn't even think
Of letting Wade pitch to Howard as the go-ahead run.

Lyons' logic is terrible.
They have been struggling, so it must be their turn to break out.

He's been struggling as of late. And Torre doesn't treat him like his regular relievers.
He’ll pull Troncoso, or McDonald at a drop of a hat, but not Wade.
i am really not a fan of the way torre uses the pen in general

No hate, just not comfortable with him yet. His stuff hasn’t been the same as last year.
Got a bit lucky on the fly ball.
