Atlanta Braves (1-0) at Philadelphia Phillies (0-1)
Jair Jurrjens vs. Jamie Moyer
Time: 7:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park, Philadelphia
Weather: Partly cloudy, 45
TV: MyPhl 17
Twitter: Phillies Nation
After Brett Myers got pounded by a couple longballs, Jamie Moyer hopes to silence the Atlanta Braves to bring the Phillies even at 1-1. Moyer is starting his 23rd major league season, and again, he’s the oldest man playing baseball professionally.
The Braves counter with Jair Jurrjens, who has fared well against the Phillies during his short career (1-2, 3.33 ERA). Moyer, meanwhile, carries an ERA over 5.00 against the Braves. Who hits him well? Garrett Anderson is a career .327 hitter (.567 slugging) against Moyer. Chipper Jones hits .467 off Moyer, and in 18 at bats, Brian McCann is a straight .500 hitter. That doesn’t bode well for the slowballer.
Your gamenight beer: We went with the special Red & White because Sunday was a special night. But let’s get back to business: Time to turn to tradition and the beer that steers us correctly in good and bad. Tonight we party with Yuengling, the old favorite. Good with a cheesesteak, maybe a pretzel. Let’s even the score and go onward and upward.
Go Phillies!

Ugh… leaving guys on base. At least it’s better than last game when they couldn’t even get guys on base.

Makes sense, I love these guys but when their bad their bad and when their not their more than not tearing it up. Will we ever see fundemental baseball from the Phils instead of the at alll-costs style?

well 21 pitches is a lot for three outs but he kept battling to keep the bases clear. I’ll take it.

Home run or bust!

I think Charlie wants to save Coste or Bruntlett for later innings if we see the tougher lefties.

you know why? because the braves and all these other teams are putting up runs, so theres no excuse for OUR team to be slacking. they take a while to heat up AS A WHOLE, but at least one or two of the top 7 guys has to get going here…
