fathom Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 10:36 PM) the homerun approach NEVER EVER works in the playoffs we need more balance in our lineup for sure yes i'm aware the phillies won against the brewers with homeruns today, but they do all of the other things right when facing a pitcher that they can't square up Didn't the Phillies lead all of baseballs in walk this year? Also, they steal at a 90 pct clip. Even Werth was 20/21 stealing this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Garza might be finding himself in a predicament here soon, he can continue to throw fastballs but that might give our offense the ability to get their timing down, or he can throw more sliders but our guys seem to be able to handle that pitch (AJ's RBI single was on a slider) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 5, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) How about a Roberts/Ramirez double play and 1-2 combo next year? However, I expect the Cubs to acquire Roberts. Do the Orioles want MacDougal/Broadway/Logan ? (green) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) Ugh...more sad range by Wise in LF. If it's hit shallow or deep, it just seems like he can't catch any ball not hit right to him. Edited October 5, 2008 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
