HR Derby for the Phillies.

Also congrats to Ryan Howard for his 12K.

MedicCook · 11-02-2009, 08:51 PM

Yankees trying to make a comeback. A-Rod with a 2 run double.

MedicCook · 11-02-2009, 09:39 PM

Time for Pettitte to get the clinching win.

feznuk · 11-02-2009, 09:53 PM

I think he only had Myers and Lidge up throwing. After last night I'd have to go with Myers.......BUT I'm glad it didn't come to that, because I think A-Rod found his groove in Philly. An AB for him in the 9th could have been trouble.

MedicCook · 11-02-2009, 09:54 PM

This also means more money for Fox in advertising.

MedicCook · 11-02-2009, 10:08 PM

I don't think there is much trust in Lidge right now.

Exactly.

This postseason really shows how amazing Mo is as a closer. And he is doing it at 39 years old.

A serious question for the Yankee fans...

Do you think Girardi should have pitched Gaudin when up either 2-1 or 3-1? 660 The Fan fades in and out in my car down here, but from what I can tell, some think he should have pitched him to put his best arms on regular rest. Personally, at 2-1, I don't think he should have, but once at 3-1 I do. Of course I don't know much about Gaudin other than, for the playoff roster, he is apparently their 4th starter.

Hard to say. I'm surprised they haven't used him other than once all playoffs, he was good for us after we got him from the Padres. I was watching Girardi's press conference and he said the reason for not using Gaudin was because he had only pitched once in the last 27 games so he may be rusty. I don't think he could have worse then Burnett did yesterday though, so yea I guess I think they should have used him.

I too would have used him.

I wish my boss was reluctant to make me work on 3 days rest....

Should be a great game, and I am still sticking by my Yankees in 6 prediction.

How fitting it would be with Petit getting the win and Pedro the loss.

I was in Disney yesterday and caught all kinds of flack about my Yankees shirt. It must be vacation in PA because the place was a sea of Phillies jerseys.

kelmac07 · 11-03-2009, 04:44 AM

Pedrp "Who's Your Daddy" gets the call Wednesday.

feznuk · 11-03-2009, 09:22 AM

Not too worried about Pedro getting the call for game 6. He pitched well in game 2, I just think Charlie let him go too far. I'd like to see him get through 5 or 6 without too much damage. The pen is real shaky, but they have to step up. Even if they have to pitch one guy per inning.

I don't trust Madson without a big lead. He just doesn't seem to have the zip on his ball. The Yankees hit him hard last night. I think Teixeira got a little anxious and helped Madson out.

Hopefully Utley stays hot and Werth picks up with Pettitte where he left off in game 3.

VirtualSmitty · 11-03-2009, 09:37 AM

I feel pretty good about this next game. Yanks get the DH back so Matsuis bat is back in the whole game and without Burnett pitching we've got Posada in the whole game too. Pedro doesn't go deep into games and the way the Phillies pen has been that could hurt late in the game. If we can get a solid six or seven innings out of Andy and bridge the gap to Mo it's over.

That's the key right there...if Pettite can go six or seven solid innings. I'll say it again...it will be interesting to see how he is on 3-days.

Did you see the stat FOX put up on the history of pitchers on 3-days rest who pitched against pitchers on regular rest in the playoffs? Something like 12-37 or thereabout. That helps give the Phillies hope.

I did see that. But Andy Pettitte is 3-1 with a 2.88 era in the post season when pitching on short rest. And if he does as bad as Burnett did they still have Chad Gaudin in the pen for long relief.

Here is an interesting article on Andy on short rest.
