2009 World Series: Phillies @ Yankees

[example1]

I can see that. Blanton was at best a #3 starter in Oakland and is much better served in the NL.

 

Bowden/Blanton is an apt comparison.

 

I think the comparison bodes well for Bowden. He should not be sold low.

[stocker323]

Did anyone see that Jeter commercial? Are they kidding me??

[Keeper]

I've got a good feeling about this inning for the Phils.

[jacksonianmarch]

CC has to come at him here

[jacksonianmarch]

Jorge Posada f***ed that one up

[jacksonianmarch]

Massive out right there

[Keeper]

Ibanez is due.

[Keeper]

Looks like he'll be due his next AB as well.

[stocker323]

Robby Cano needs to be pulled. He looks incredibly bad

 

and put in Jerry Hairston? Oh please, please, please do that. I thought Girardi was bad.

[jacksonianmarch]

We gotta let Damon go after this yr. My lord, he sucks incredibly bad in the field

[Keeper]

A one-hopper to home gets him for sure.

[jacksonianmarch]

And the umpires f*** up another call. f*** them

[jacksonianmarch]

and its a call that leads directly to a run. He never touched home. My god. These umpires deserve to be fired

This has been a horrible year for umpiring.

[Keeper]

And they seem to have saved their worst calls for the postseason.

[jacksonianmarch]

I think its time to expand replay. Do it for all homeruns that are questionable and give each manager a challenge on safe or out plays

[yankees228]

and its a call that leads directly to a run. He never touched home. My god. These umpires deserve to be fired

 

It was a bad call, but Posada needs to come up with that cleanly. If he does Howard is out.

[jacksonianmarch]

If Posada did a lot in that inning, we are still leading. His defense is abysmal. It will be nice when we have a catcher who can actually hit and catch.

[Keeper]

The only problem I could see with expanding replay would be some confusion/ambiguity with baserunners.

[jacksonianmarch]

Do it just like they do for balls touched by fans, judgement call

[jacksonianmarch]

How is this offense not hitting this guy. He is throwing pus and he isnt even hitting his spots

[example1]

I say they add a person to the umpiring crew, a guy who rotates into the umpiring booth and who can review plays quickly and radio down to umps to tell them that the play needs to be reviewed.

 

I'm not sure if that situation is one where you want someone to be reviewing it however. If you did it there then any bang-bang play at 1B could be challenged. Also, in this situation, the Yankees never tagged Howard but the play ended. Would Howard be out? Would it be a re-do? He was never tagged but he never touched the plate. Ball is dead. What to do now?

Yep.

[Keeper]

Tough play, but Utley's flip made me laugh.

[jacksonianmarch]

What would they do? Exactly what they do when a runner doesnt touch a base. Step off and throw the ball to that base.

 

BTW, CC needs to learn how to f***ing bunt. What a joke

[jacksonianmarch]

YEAH, 3-2 mutha f***as!!

I told you his "offense" wouldn't make a difference.

 

Jeter gets it done, as usual. I hate Derek Jeter.

[Optimist]

Big hit from Jeter after the messed up bunt from CC.

[jacksonianmarch]

Damon has cost us both runs from Philly and helped us get the first two, so he's even. He needs to break through here again

[Keeper]

The failed sac bunt could loom large if they don't get another run across this inning. If CC had executed, they get two runs instead of one.

 

Edit: Nevermind.

[jacksonianmarch]

4-2 bitches!!!
