Game 92 Open Thread- 9th July, 2008

Mulder J.A. Happ
0-0, 13.50 0-0, 3.86
I don't really have any kind of detailed analysis to offer all of you tonight. I can tell you that Happ has walked more batters (4), than he has struck out (3). He's only thrown 4.2 innings, though, so it's tough to really draw many conclusions from that.
As for Mulder, I don't know what to say. I guess we'll all just have to hope for the best.
Good luck, Mark. Let's see if you've got anything left.

this looks like a game that could have a lot of runs scored.
it’ll probably turn out to be a 1-0 game though, baseballs screwy like that
Rick Ankiel could throw out Chuck Norris. Easy.

If the Phils...
are ever going to post another 20 spot on us, tonight is the night.
by guayzimi on Jul 9, 2008 6:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i doubt it.
i don’t think tlr would leave mulder out to dry like that. if he gives up 6 runs in 3 innings or something, he’ll be out of there.
the phils could put up 10, but not 20.

20 runs...
Makes me think of this Mulder start: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHA/CHA200606200.shtml
That was such a painful series…..

What would Mulder have to do?
In order to take his comeback seriously?
by Harknights on Jul 9, 2008 6:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
i'd take 5 ip, 3 er, or 6 ip, 4 er
that’d be a not-good-but-serious start.

I don't really have any justification for it,
but for some reason I’m feeling optimistic about Mulder’s start tonight. Obviously not 10 inning shutout optimistic, but something on the order of five innings, two earned runs optimistic.

Yeah, it's probably just foolish optimism
Like I said, I don’t really have any sound reason for feeling that way – just my gut, which historically hasn’t really been a good predictor of anything except my need to eat. And it’ll just be that much more painful for me if he crashes and burns tonight….
by BTown Birds fan on Jul 9, 2008 6:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
hoping for
5 innings, Mulder leaves with the lead, bullpen holds on for him to get the win
probably 7-6
the pessimistic side is worried he wont record an out and get hit hard by about 7 Phils before we go to the pen
by vances law on Jul 9, 2008 7:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This sure does sound like a loss.
But, I guess that’s why they play the games. The Phils offense got shutdown last night. No way they do again. As for Mulder, I wish I could be more optimistic, but I’m saying he doesn’t make it into the 4th, and we’ll be down by 5 or 6.

From Derrick Goold:
“It has been nearly 25 months since Mark Mulder’s last victory, and even longer since the last time he registered an out in the sixth inning or had a quality start.”

this is truely a sad day, I have just watch the end of a man’s career. I was always a big fan of mulder and see him end it all like this is shocking. I always thought he would be like john tudor, except he originally threw harder. Wow i am just depressed.

lol, I wasn't really shocked
I was gonna go see if the SABR phillie fans were different from the stadium fans…..
I go over to The Good Phight and see that it’s a ghost town…not only are their fans the most worthless in all of sports but there’s not even a SABR fan base. Their last game thread had 11 comments in it.
Bright side the site managers/editors seem pretty good.

I’m hoping that La Russa wears one of the novelty Giambi mustaches they gave out at Yankee Stadium today at his press conference tonight. It’s cheer me up after seeing Mulder crash and burn.

Puppy Kicker, but if this is kept up for another inning or two, if he was under the arches in this game, he’d get a standing o’ from me. If nothing else, just the sheer situation.

Izturis OPS = .613 for the season…..is there a Mendoza line for OPS? Probably around .600, right?

yeah, it's called the Kennedy Line.
It’s main characteristic is SLG being lower than OBP.

That's the one situation
where you slide into first. Not to get there sooner, but to avoid the tag.
