NLCS Game Two: Phillies @ Dodgers
ByJoe Torre may or may not have left Clayton Kershaw in too long last night, but George Sherrill did the team no favors by walking two before giving up a three-run bomb in the 8th inning. The Phillies are sending Pedro Martinez (5-1, 3.63) to the mound against his former team, looking to give themselves a 2-0 series lead before heading back east. LA will counter with Vicente Padilla (12-6, 4.46); meanwhile people complain about the Yankees fourth starter options. TBS has the call, first pitch is set for 4:07pm ET. Chat about the game here if you want.
Another game where the bullpen blows it. Lockdown all yr Sherril.
yes…after the starter couldn’t get through five. If only there was a way to get better starting pitching…like allowing your promising young pitchers the chance to develop into the starters they’ve shown the potential to be.
Nah, fuck that, that shit sounds crazy, yo.
With Pedro going for the Phillies the Dodger should really be starting someone else.
Anyone, really.
Golden opportunity to be up 2-0.
Disagree on Torre’s leaving in Kershaw too long. He was at 89 pitches and was facing Ryan Howard who hits lefties to the tune of .207/.298/.356. The decision to keep him was a fine one; Kershaw’s pitch execution wasn’t.
True.
But he did leave that guy George in there too long.
Padilla’s splits vs. LHB:
.297/.380/.479/.859
Have fun, Philly.
Howard certainly had fun in that PA.
I don’t really care who wins, but I want to see Padilla get beaten like a rented mule.
can someone explain the ruling of that dropped bunt?
why couldn’t loney make a double play?
So, according to his “bubble-gum card”…
Is Pedro HOF material?
will we ever see a pitcher more dominant than pedro in 2000?
i can’t imagine what that would look like
Best pitching season ever.
I love that Pedro still rocks the Jheri Curls.
PS. Way to go Ghana.
brazil u20 = epic fail
i love the 21st century!
I don’t like the fact that the last Brazilian to miss was named Alex Teixiera.
“so the phillies have scored first again” ~ Chip Caray. This guy is brilliant!
the phillies scare me a little. i’d feel more comfortable playing the dodgers
the umps scare me more than they do
PHHEWW. Mary Hart finally arrived at the ballpark. Watch out Phillies.
she looks like vincent van gogh in the sunhat
pedro twirling a gem…how about pedro as a 5 spot option next year? he loves the stage, and he is pitching very much like moose did last year where it doesnt matter how hard the fastball is because there is such differential with his offspeed stuff.
we might be facing him in the ws this year
one last chance to play daddy
Went for a walk and came back to see the game in the 8th inning with this score. I was not expecting a pitcher’s duel.
Was Padilla as dominant as the boxscore indicates?
And could that Jimmy Johns commercial be a little more racist?
yes, padilla was very dominant. I would say more so than pedro. Also, his walk that he gave up was to the last batter he faced, and had only ONE 3 ball count the entire game
I noticed he had more strikeouts. That’s just crazy.
that was a clutch bunt
as a child of 2 ghanian parents, i am uber proud of ghana for doing well in the U-20 game and tying brazil
Aaaaaaand the game just got away from the Phillies.
wow
dodgers tie the game on an error
1-1
At least he didn’t hit anyone in the face with that throw.
lol like knoblauch?
Yes.
No mother is safe!
HIDE THE WIMMENZ AND CHILDRENZ!!
Chase Sax?

madsen just got himself into a clustereff
Matt Kemp FTL
JA Happ for the Loss
2-1 dodgers
