Man if only CC Sabathia could run out of gas tomorrow,i mean this guys pitching his 4th staight start on 3 days rest and is coming off a complete game his last start,but he’s a big game pitcher and doesn’t seem like he’s gonna run out of gas…I worried with Myers too tomorrow because of his last couple starts he got rocked.

I think the key tomorrow will be timely hits, which has been a definite problem for us all year. I think Werth may be a key because of his success against lefties, but CC isn’t your average lefty. So, I think the key player(s) are the ones that get up with runners in scoring position. Whether its moving the runner over, getting a sac fly, or even an RBI base hit – we have to step up when given the opportunity. We are probably only going to get a few chances against CC, so we have to cash in when we get them.

Phillies need to play small ball tomorrow against CC: drag bunts, sac bunts, aggressive steals, etc If Willie Mays Hayes Rollins shows up tomorrow, I’m gonna dropkick his rotator cuff. Hopefully the ’07 Post-season Sabathia shows up as well… go Phillies!

I agree with pulling Hamels out. You want to keep Hamels rested for the rest of the playoffs. You have a 3 run lead…put your closer in and let him do what he did all year. Sure he made it nail biting, but he got the job done.

I would rather pitch hamels with three days rest. then that stiff Blanton. 4 quality starts in 13 games. He has no chance to beat milaukee. in a playoff game.

The way I see it, Hamels was absolutely dominating the game. He had struck out 9 and had only given up like what, 2 or 3 hits? Also, he was just over 100 pitches heading into the 9th, and was very well rested. I think that if it was totally Charlies decision, he would have put Hamels in there for the ninth, especially considering Lidge’s recent heart attack saves. So, I would think that the only person holding back Hamels from at least starting the 9th inning was Hamels himself. Of course, I wasn’t in the dugout, so its really just my guess.

Was it lack of confidence or faith in your closer and know that lidge is the better option? The old school thought is that you finish what you start, but maybe that was some strategy. I honestly think that he should have wanted to go out there to complete the game, but at the same time, isn’t that why we pay the man to pitch the ninth?

…he’s no monster like CC Sabathia who can pitch several games on 3-days rest… Hamels works when he’s fresh –like today.

JohnDC and NEPA: I read somewhere that there is a possibility that Hamels AND Blanton could BOTH pitch Game 4. I still don’t know what I think about this. Hamels is one of those pitchers who needs his rest (at least 4-days). Today’s game is the best example. He excels when he’s rested…

Oh, and according to Tim, Hamels might have pulled himself out of the game after 8 because of his history pitching against Fielder. If that is true I’m somewhat disappointed because if he’s not confident enough to finish that game after the way he pitched, then when will he.
