Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Can somebody, anybody explain to me what Tom Hallion's strike zone is? It seems to change with every pitch.

Can the Phillies win this already? I want to see them celebrate!

I'm dieing here.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Phillies got themselves into all kinds of trouble in the eighth, as the Dodger's loaded the bases with no outs. Madson would retire the side after walking Manny and giving up a single to Kemp. Dodger's only score one and the Phils are three outs away.

Phillies 9 - Dodger's 4 bottom 8

Jayson Werth gets a hold of a Kuo pitch and drives it to deep centre field for a solo shot.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Kershaw was mowing down the Phillies lineup, until the sixth. After retiring Ruiz and Cairo to lead off the inning, he hit J-Roll. Shane Victorino then crushed a pitch to deep left for a 2 run HR.

Phillies 8 - Dodger's 3 top 7

Phils unable to do any damage in the fifth, and Durbin retires the side in order in the sixth.

Phillies 6 - Dodger's 3 bottom six.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

After Hamels retires Blake to lead off the fifth, Orlando Hudson would hit the Dodger's third solo shot of the game. Rafael Furcal would hit a double and that would be it for Cole Hamels. JA Happ walked the first hitter he faced, and then got Ethier to fly out on a pitch he probably should have hit to New Jersey. Chad Durbin came in to face Manny and got him to ground out weakly to end the Dodger threat in the fifth.

Phils 6 - Dodger's 3 bottom 5.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

I was a little quick to say the fourth inning was over. It was just the top of three. In the bottom half of the fourth the Phils would score 2 more. One on a double by Ibanez to score Werth from first. The second came when Victorinon got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Ibanez. Padilla is out of the game now for the Dodger's. Hamels is still in for the Phils but his pitch count is climbing rapidly.

After 4 complete, Phils 6 - Dodger's 2.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Padilla retires the Phillies in order. Hamels retires the first two Dodger's, walks Loney, and then gets Martin to pop out to end the fourth. 4-2 Phillies.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Both pitchers go three up three down in the third. Score remains 4-2 Phillies.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Top 2: Once again Cole gets ahead 1-2 and once again he throws a room service fastball. This time to James Loney who goes deep to make it 3-2 Phils.

Bottom 2: Lead off man Pedro Feliz takes the first pitch he sees to right to restore the Phillies 4-2 lead.

It's a warm night in Philly and the ball really seems to be flying off the bat. All 4 HR's hit tonight have been to right field.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

The Yankmees might have the O to match Philly. Will be interesting to see the pitching matchups. Yes, I've conceded LAD and LAA.
