2008 Philadelphia Phillies Season/Playoff Thread (Die Mets Die)

Well if you're going to analyze the move, you should know the reason behind it.

the point is there was no reason for him to come in there...btw not that warming up means you HAVE to come in the game but even if you buy that garbage can you tell me who had him up in the first place?

[BigEd76]

He brought Romero in because of the back-to-back lefties with Dunn and Votto.  I don't think it was just because he was warming.....otherwise he could've pitched the 8th.  And why are we complaining about leaving Eaton in the game longer?  Get him out before he blows it...

[ice grillin you]

eaton in longer = one batter

no one was on base i just felt like why mess with something going that good...had he just walked someone or given up a hit or even if it was less than two outs it would have made more sense....that said it wasnt some terrible error by chuckles and no one was really complaining to begin with...im only even discussing it now because of wings pathological need to defend all things charlie

FIRE MANUEL

[Wingspan]

Being 10 games over .500 while winning your division is pretty indefensible.

[ice grillin you]

lets not start blowing him yet or in your case even more than you already have

his teams in cleveland were semi successful and they axed him because he was such a bad strategian

he hasnt been horrible this year is the best we can say about him...im happy if he doesnt lose any games for the team and by my count thats happened only once this year which is a huge improvement for chuckles

42 is the answer the the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

It's also 21 x 2.  OMGSEANTAYLORZ!

If there were 2 Sean Taylors, 1 would still be drawing 15-yarders for the skins!  It would be like "The Prestige," only with a lot less intrigue.

[MDS]

The bullpen has made things pretty easy on Manuel. Romero, Gordon and Lidge are his clear top guys and they've been great this year. He clearly has a great pinch hitter in Dobbs. It's tough to find scenarios for him to farg up, like even when he over-manages they still win.

Myers with a _________________ through 6 

[SunMo]

no hitter

[Wingspan]

myers will probably do a 9 inning no hitter, and the phils lose in 10.

[BigEd76]

0-2, 2 outs.....RBI double...1-0 Reds 

[SunMo]

down 1 in the 7th, why are you letting Myers hit here?

[ice grillin you]

why is wheels slurping myers...yeah he had a good game but calm down the guy did have SIX walks
