Predicting Phils, rooting Reds.
― In "Bob" There Is No East or West (WmC), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 19:59 (fifteen years ago)
Phillies in 4, probably 3. I like the Reds but the Phillies were hurt all year long and without Oswalt for a majority of the season. At full strength, they may be the best team in MLB. Haters gonna hate but they are understandably tired of looking up at the Phillies in the end of the year standings.
― Fartbritz Sootzveti (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 20:08 (fifteen years ago)
I am thinking there will be a Reds win if Cole Hamels, as Shasta might elegantly put it, shits the bed.
Also if Dusty has to make as few crucial moves as possible.
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 5 October 2010 21:40 (fifteen years ago)
So psyched for post-season!
― Mordy, Tuesday, 5 October 2010 21:42 (fifteen years ago)
Haters gonna hate
Hamels is the only one I actively dislike. There's some inexplicable "the whole is far less than the sum of the parts"/gag-reflex deal at work. Their bad fans seem worse than most other teams' bad fans, and they are in a division full of teams more worthy of derision/pity deserving of support.
― Andy K, Wednesday, 6 October 2010 14:43 (fifteen years ago)
Come on Reds! That's all I have to say. Phillies can kiss my shiny metal cock.

From Purple Row - I had no idea!
As far as the Phils vs. Reds goI don’t think I’ve ever seen a team who has as little chance of winning as the Reds. Not only do they have to play in a series where the only starters they will see are Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Cole Hamels, but they can’t beat a good team themselves. Of the Reds 91 wins this season, 45 of them came aginst the four doormats in their division (Pirates, Brewers, Astros, and Cubs). I give them credit for beating the teams they are supposed to but they just can’t beat a good team. Take a look at their records agaisnt teams over .500 this season.Cards: 6-12Phils: 2-5Braves: 2-3Giants: 3-4Rockeis: 2-5Padres: 2-4(It’s also worth noting that the Reds did not play a single team with a record over .500 in interleague play)This means that the Reds went 17-33 in the 50 games they played against teams over .500 and had a whopping 112 games agianst teams under .500.

wow, i figured their record (like the Rangers and Twins) was padded by being in a weak division but that's cool to see it parsed out a bit more.
that said, short series anything can happen.

from BR roundtable:
I'm hearing now that Valdez is starting for the Phillies at third base, not Polanco. While I'm in the middle of building game odds for the Phillies-Reds game, too. Ah, the excitement of October baseball.
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 17:09 (fifteen years ago)
David L. (BP Northeast): The Reds have [91] wins. If Joe Maddon was managing them instead of Dusty Baker, they would like have...?
Joe Sheehan: Dusty Baker has had a tremendous year. He could have buried Stubbs and Bruce, could have damaged Leake, and he did none of that. I wrote that he'd be the negative difference between Reds and Cardinals, and I was completely wrong. He -- not Cox, Manuel, Bochy or Black -- gets my MotY vote if the IBAs happen.
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 17:14 (fifteen years ago)
iorg34 (Minny): Ready to see Philly run the table?
Joe Sheehan: It's definitely possible, especially if the Braves upset the Giants in the DS. Phillies/Giants would be a lot of fun, though. Most pitching since...well, probably something involving the 1990s Braves.
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 18:11 (fifteen years ago)

I didn't see the whole game, so maybe there's some validity to Cabrera's whining. The four innings I saw, there was nothing especially generous about the strike zone. Doesn't really matter, though--talk about ungracious. Hope Halladay hangs a golden sombrero on him next time (if there is a next time).

RIP mi amigo.
Chapman is up in the pen.

Wow that looked/sounded so awful live and on the replay it was like "oh it just hit the bill of his helmet".

Howard was right in the middle of that rally, what a leader.
I thought Utley was safe. The Reds are doing a good job at blowing the game in this inning without the umps' help.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:02 (fifteen years ago)
Terrible inning. Terrible umpiring. Terrible defense x 2.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:02 (fifteen years ago)
i mean the bruce error is the thing
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:03 (fifteen years ago)
so did Chase touch 3rd?
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:03 (fifteen years ago)
Nice to see that the umpires are going out of their way to ruin every single postseason game this year. Stepping it up.
― funky house skeptic (polyphonic), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:03 (fifteen years ago)
so let's review
- chase did not get by a pitch but was awarded first base- chase was arguably out at second base- chase did not touch third base- chase scores
― truly blunted rhyme fiend (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:04 (fifteen years ago)
Probably not. Also if Utley was safe I didn't see it from any of the replays.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:04 (fifteen years ago)
Utley is a baseball conman.
― Mordy, Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:05 (fifteen years ago)
Also if Utley was safe I didn't see it from any of the replays.
Yep. Where's the clear angle? I honestly don't understand how this happens.
― funky house skeptic (polyphonic), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:06 (fifteen years ago)
ITS A CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:06 (fifteen years ago)
even if he was safe at second he shouldn't have even have been on first in the first place! so it's a moot point
― truly blunted rhyme fiend (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:06 (fifteen years ago)
he looked safe at 2nd to me - but i could not see him actually get hit.
― got electrolytes (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:07 (fifteen years ago)
@king_kaufman TBS is giving a clinic on unhelpful replay angles.
― funky house skeptic (polyphonic), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:07 (fifteen years ago)
look, there's no way you get hit in your wrist by aroldis chapman and just breezily jog to first. sorry.
― truly blunted rhyme fiend (J0rdan S.), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:07 (fifteen years ago)
It looked like his foot just nicked the inside corner of the bag. Anyway, that's not the umps' call to make, it's the Reds' job to appeal the play and they didn't.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:08 (fifteen years ago)
There's no issue with the 3rd base thing except that TBS didn't have a good angle on it, as usual.
― funky house skeptic (polyphonic), Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:09 (fifteen years ago)
"@king_kaufman TBS is giving a clinic on unhelpful replay angles."
Haha yeah this is really the epic fail here. Even on the Phillips drop they couldn't show where Werth was.

I had a good laugh when the TBS talking heads started talking about how Brad Lidge was "outstanding" in last year's playoffs (he's now converted his last 11 postseason save opportunities!!) Sure, he lost Game 4 of the WS and it was the whole turning point of the series and everything, but it wasn't a save situation ... outstanding!
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Saturday, 9 October 2010 01:57 (fifteen years ago)
Just wait, RoyO will be perfect next game, I guarantee it!
