Playoff Game Thread- 4th October, 2008

All three series currently stand at 2-0; our own personal cheeseballs, the Rays, have beaten the White Sox pretty handily both of the first two contests. Unfortunately, they won't be playing tonight, so we'll all be reduced to watching, and rooting against, the Cubbies and Brewers. Fits kind of nicely with my morning post, though, doesn't it?
In the early game, the Brewers will try to stave off elimination by sending Dave Bush, who we all remember as Yadier Molina's personal punching bag, to the mound to opposed the ageless wonder, Jamie Moyer. The Brewers have been quite good against lefthanded pitching in general this season, posting an OPS of .806 against them overall. Still, given the pitching matchup, I have to say that I like the Phillies, even in Milwaukee. I just don't think that much of Dave Bush. I could be wrong, though; it definitely wouldn't be the first time.
In the late game, which is the one I'm really interested in, the Cubbies will send Rich Harden to oppose the Dodgers' latest Pacific Rim import, Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda hasn't gotten a whole lot of press, which isn't surprising, considering he's essentially the Japanese pitcher following Daisuke Matsuzaka to America. Even so, Kuroda has quietly put together a very nice season for the Dodgers. He posted a 3.73 ERA this season, despite a less than stellar 9-10 W/L record. It's always tough to say what you're going to get out of Harden. Wait, that's not quite right. You pretty much always know what you're going to get from Harden, you're just not sure exactly how long he's going to be able to give it to you. I expect the standard five innings of near no-hit ball, after which the Cubs' pen will be asked to hold down the fort and hope that the offense can finally wake up. Bottom line, this game will likely come down to the top five in each team's lineups. If things continue on as they have in the first two contests, Chicago will be going home early, and the Dodgers will be making their first NLCS appearance since the Year of Kirk Gibson.
First pitch for the Milwaukee/Philly game is at 5:37 Central. Enjoy it, everybody. It's the best time of the year.

Personally
I’d like to see at least one of the NL Central teams win tonight and ONLY tonight. I felt like we had the best NL division his year (4 teams over .500!), and I’d like to see at least some decent representation of the NL Central. With that said, I’ll be cheering for the Brewers to be that team.
On with the (good) youth movement!

I agree
as long as that team is the Milwaukee Brewers.

who can argue with you on that ? Anyone?
It just makes so much sense.
I still don’t want the Brewers to win tonight. The only team from the NL Central that should ever win playoff games is the Cards.

as much as I dislike the Brewers
Their fans deserve to see a postseason victory on home ground. I mean, they have to put up with all those Cubs fans every series, just like we do.

All 4 series are 2-0
w/ the Sox and Dodgers going home, the Rays and Phils going on the road. Of the 4 teams on the ropes, i actually like the Cubs as having the best chance to reverse the deficit. I don’t think it’ll happen, but they’ve got Harden, Lilly, and Dempster in the next 3 if it goes that long. I think Harden and the Cubs win today, w/ the pen going at least 3 innings and maybe 4. Lou won’t hesitate today w/ the pitchers and you could see Marmol going 2+, or maybe Wood in order to get it done.

Apparently Dempster will be in the bullpen
tonight if needed after Harden goes his 5 IP with 5 BB and 10 K.

Harden
in his last 4 starts — 3 in September and his last one in August, he’s averaged 99 pitches per start, but just 5 1/2 innings per start. He’s averaged 4 BB per start. The Dodgers have to be patient and make Harden work. They need good pitches to hit, baserunners via walk, and to get into the Cubs pen and take their chances.
by chuckb on Oct 4, 2008 6:13 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
What's positive for the Dodgers is
they’re already doing that. They’ve worked both Dempster and Zambrano in the first two games, so I don’t see the game play (or execution) changing for this game against Harden. But, the way to offset that is to throw strikes. So, the Dodgers have to foul off pitches and work the count that way.

Mixing Politics and Baseball
Just watched a great interview of Nate Silver by Dan Rather on HDNet
( http://tinyurl.com/3p9g5v )
We mostly know Silver as the guy over at BP that created PECOTA but now he is running an e new web on the side. His new web is taking his baseball projection skills over to Political polling.
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/
It is really interesting for someone as much self with an Econ degree and stat junkie. Just to see how he does some of things he does on the Political side now.

what he said about Indiana
is exactly true {my home state}. McCain will probably carry the Hoosier state… but by how much?
Moreover, how soon will the exit poling allow the networks to announce it?
The polls close at 6 pm here; if McCain wins Indiana, but you don’t know it until 7:30 or 8:00, that’s still bad for McCain, even tho he wins the state.

I think Obama has a real chance at Indiana
for exactly the reasons Nate indicates. Just like in the primary, if Obama is close in the polls come election day, his groud operation can do the rest.
Yeah, I watched that Rather interview as well. I think it is really great that talented people are starting to get interested in politics again. Used to be that politics had such a black eye that no one would touch it with a 10 ft. pole. No so this year.

interference called on Victorino at 2nd
b/c he ran into Counsell on DP ball. Since interference was called, the runners have to go back to the base where they started. Runners go back to 2nd and 3rd. Run comes off the board.

Interference = Dead Ball?
Just got done watching the game. What I don’t understand is why Pedro Feliz was out at first. If it’s interference on Victorino at 2nd, and the other runners do not advance, why isn’t it a dead ball, with Feliz on first (and thus only one out) on a fielder’s choice?
by lightbulb on Oct 4, 2008 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Because Victorino was already out
he interfered w/ the throw to 1st. Therefore, it’s a DP. Since the DP was called due to interference, the baserunners cannot advance, so they go back to 2nd and 3rd.

My hyperbole above… well, maybe I haven’t seen that much baseball. But even the 06 Tigers could be attributed to that long break and losing momentum. Some of this is bad execution on the Cubs’ part… and some of it I cannot explain. I definitely want to hear more about the circumstances, however this series ends.

Some believe (as I do)
that there is such a thing as “trying too hard”…
If an athlete can trust the moment, and immerse himself in action as mindfully as possible, they can react to events instead of trying to control them.
Maybe the Cub players are trying to control events and create a reality of their making, instead of letting events come to them. In that way, they’re gripping a little too much…
Only they know…as for me…I don’t think a curse has anything to do with it.

well not a curse in the literal sense
More in the sense that this sample size is getting rather… large. I.e. I wouldn’t be surprised by a certain kind of error under some circumstances, like getting a bad hop in wet grass. It’s when freak occurrences start to pile up among several players that I raise my brows. But of course, correlation does not mean causation.

but im going with the placement of hits…Loney put them ahead tonight and had the GS. Martin has also done his job. when guys like manny get walked and those guys come through thats big…
plus one of manny’s hr was tack on
So i guess itd be between those 3.

Why'd Torre leave Kuroda in there?
The pen is good, and it’s rested. One more run would make a big difference here. The chances aren’t all that good, but still, I don’t get why he didn’t PH.

because Ankiel will almost certainly get better as both a hitter and fielder. Whereas I don’t know if Cano has plateaued or not. Plus Lopez doesn’t look all that much worse than Cano offensively. Or Uggla for that matter.

i like the dodgers more than the phils and the brewers. i don’t think either of those teams have the pitching to match up w/ the dodgers — even if sabathia could go 3 times (which he won’t be able to).

i think that's probably right
hamels is a stud, but how much better than billingsley? the dodgers only problem right now might be the lack of a 4th starter. i guess they could go w/ maddux in game 4. at least he’d be going against blanton — not exactly a world-beater either.

Even out of the playoffs, Albert casts a long shadow. Cubs are such the anti-Cards, aren’t they? I’ll drink to that. Much fonder memories of 2008’s strong team, even if they faded in the stretch. Let’s just hope the front office backs them up.

Okay
I read about half of the posts, but couldn’t make it through all 300+ of ’em.
Let me say, I went out in the Chicago suburbs to watch the game tonight with my cousin who is also a Cardinal fan. We went out early to a local Mexican restaurant for a couple tacos while we watched the Brewer game. Met some Sox fans and there didn’t seem to be many cub fans who would make their selves noticed.
(btw, this is Naperville. It’s totally cub country out here. Way west side and totally snobby.)
We then had plans to go to another place where we watched Michael Phelps a month ago break the gold medal record. We figured if the had the sound on for Phelps, they’re gonna have the game on righr? Wrong. At the bar they have 3 monitors. Far left….Wisconsin football. Far right……Kimbo Slice and his 14 seconds of fame. Center……cubbies and NO SOUND!!!!!! There was a cub fan sitting next to me and I kept egging him on to bitch out the manager. Apparently they were fine with their dj playing music. So we left for another place we knew would have sound…..and it did.
Well, this place seemed to have more people cheering for the Dodgers than the cubs (White Sox fans) and we had sound until the 7th inning when they switched to dance music. The DJ said he was taking requests (HE WAS WEARING A CUB SHIRT!!!!!!) so I told him i requested the game to be turned on. He said, “c’mon. It’s over”
7th inning and they had given up. Down 3 runs. Over. F’n Losers.
I hope they never win another game EVAR!
