Tampa Bay/Philadelphia Game 5 (resumed) In-Game Thread

[blackbart]

wtf he didnt hit for howell with the game tied and runner on?

[yisman]

Baldelli ties it with a solo shot.

Navarro screwed things up. Madson threw the 0-2 pitch right at him. Why jump out of the way?

Also, I think Howell should've been pinch hit for.

[ryanXL977]

i would have pinch hit for him too. very strange move

[blackbart]

this sets up poorly for the phls now, lidge will have to pitch two and if they dont win by then only guys left they dont want to use

[yisman]

It's not "great" and it's not American. That ad fails.

[moneyline]

Funny, the play Iwamura screwed up is the same one Jeter ALWAYS makes ... you know, the defensively-challenged SS for the Yankees ... guess the few idiots who don't know baseball won't take his routine-looking plays for granted anymore

Go Rays!!

[yisman]

that's a killer. Smart play by Utley

[bigboydan]

I can't believe he went home on that play.

[ryanXL977]

dont blame bartlett, thats a move you have to try for

ive seen guys score so many times there

[blackbart]

utley save the day again

[TheLock]

2 outs so I guess that wasn't the worst baserunning in the world

[yisman]

Madson is a god recently, then they have Lidge. Bye bye Rays.

...

the value is on tb now, the extra 3 outs are gone
damn

It's the same situation. Middle of the inning, tied.

[ryanXL977]

i dont think bartlett made a bad call
2 outs, he was already on third by time the ball was in utleys glove though
it wasnt even a very good throw

[yisman]

Burrell double, should've gone for 3

[Tsoprano]

[ryanXL977]

i cannot believe that wasnt gone
he raped that

he must be so slow to be on 2nd
jees

[HeeeHAWWWW]

Burrell double, should've gone for 3

Wasn't sprinting till he rounded first, he thought it was a homer :-(

[TheLock]

This game has amazing action. How could anyone not enjoy this?

[TheLock]

Way to hustle down the line Pat. Pete Rose-like

[blackbart]

the ad rays had was that the set up man madson was used up in the seventh, leaving philly short good relievers

[ryanXL977]

if philly scores here, they are in good shape, if not, adv rays
but the phils are clearly better hitting, have been in this series anyhow

[blackbart]

now you see why howell should have been pinch hit for, lefty;s were out

[Stumpage]

9:11 PM, Wednesday, October 29th, 2008.....Pat Burrell officially wins the Gold Medal title for the slowest human in the history of the civilized world.....

[ryanXL977]

bunting here is so ****ing dumb with a lefty

[ryanXL977]

there we go
**** bunting

[ryanXL977]

no dobbs eh? ballsy
i dont like it

[yisman]

4-3 phillies

[ryanXL977]

nevermind
forgot price woulda come in

feliz is money at home lately

[yisman]

Funny, the play Iwamura screwed up is the same one Jeter ALWAYS makes ... you know, the defensively-challenged SS for the Yankees ... guess the few idiots who don't know baseball won't take his routine-looking plays for granted anymore

Go Rays!!

Jeter is much better at balls in the air. He has very limited range on grounders, though.


He'll make the play for you on popups.

[blackbart]

maddon cost them the game, not pinch hittin for howell with a tie game and runner on so he can stay in the game and put it on a tee for burrell and then come out of the game. unblievable what could he possibly been thinking

[yisman]

Wasn't sprinting till he rounded first, he thought it was a homer :-(

yeah on the replay they showed him jogging. Stupid. Yeah it's normally gone, but you run until it leaves the park.

Great play by Iwamura there.

Romero hitting lol

he grounds out to 2nd as well.

[ryanXL977]

it was a bad move leaving howell in to hit, but you are assumign the pinch hitter and the next hitter would have both gotten hits

[blackbart]

now manuel has a lefty against eva and pena or use eyre or durbin no good options

[rm18]

they wanted to bunt anyway, and he got the bunt down

[blackbart]

it was a bad move leaving howell in to hit, but you are assumign the pinch hitter and the next hitter would have both gotten hits

assumption is that anyone would have a better chance than a reliever that hasnt hit all year
