2009 MLB Playoffs

[NormH3]

The Dodgers and Phillies are very even this year. Should be a good series.

Congrats.. I missed last nights game, but it sounds as if Lidge is doing well again.

[Grndslmhttr3]

His slider is looking pretty good so far.

I believe that both of the League Finals will be tough battles. The Angels always play the Yankees tough, and the Phillies and Dodgers are at it again! I just hope it is not too cold in Yankee Stadium, but we are in a real cold spell right now in New York.

Starts tonight, I believe Hammels will toss a gem...1 up for the Fightin Phils.

[Ben]

Eh, Kershaw will show Hamels what's up.

Lets
Go
Dodgers

Eh, Kershaw will show Hamels what's up.

Or not...

I gotta say I'm not too big on the whole "Madson throwing 97 mph fastballs right down the middle" idea...

[Grndslmhttr3]

but I am big on a Phillies win

He gave up a single and walked one!

I think he will lose a game for them before it is over.

how did last night work for ya?? I still think it is going to be tough series. LA is an improved team it think...their starting pitching is going to kill them in the end.

I don't believe the gun at all. Every guy was throwing way harder then ever. i understand being pumped and all but in my opinion the only thing pumped up was the setting on the radar gun.

Chan Ho looked awesome. nice to have him back even if it is limited.

[Grndslmhttr3]

Madson has been throwing 97 all year. I was a bit surprised when I saw Hamels' velocity, though. 96 mph? Maybe 94 at the very most, but he's usually around 91-92.

[Grndslmhttr3]

I can't believe Pedro was taken out.

[Grndslmhttr3]

I'm not really sure what to say about this one, other than the fact that there was absolutely no reason for someone who has thrown 87 pitches and only two hits to come out of a ballgame like that. Absolutely mind boggling.

He has not pitched in almost a month. He gave them seven, incredible innings. If the Phillies pen can't get six outs then they are in a lot of trouble.

[Grndslmhttr3]

You have a valid point; I forgot it was around a month since he last pitched. That was quite the debacle I saw. Only ONE ball left the infield and they managed to score two runs.

I agree with you. It was a smart decision given the length of his lay-off. Pedro even said that he understood his job was to throw 85-90 pitches, and he did that.

Phillies and Angels are goin' down!!! Go Dodgers and Yankees!!
