Toronto Blue Jays at Philadelphia Phillies, Jun 16, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
The Jays are certainly bruised and battered after their sweep at the hands of the Florida Marlins and they look to pick themselves back up again tonight on the Streets of Philadelphia (thanks Bruce). Tonight's matchup sees two young lefties go at it: Ricky Romero for the Jays and Cole Hamels for the Phils. For more on Hamels, check out Jesse's usual great job from earlier today. Though I want the Jays to win, of course, a really good buddy of mine who is a huge Phillies fan is going through a tough time right now, so feeling a bit conflicted about it.
Romero is coming off a tough game last time out where he pitched very well but the Jays just couldn't muster any runs for him, so it'd be nice to see him get some support this time out. Romero's season numbers are looking quite good, though he has struggled a bit with the long ball of late.
Roy Halladay played catch today, and is scheduled for a bullpen session tomorrow. Good news. Also, remember Michael Barrett? He just started a rehab assignment, so the end of the month is definitely looking like a possibility for him. Raul Chavez hasn't been too terrible as a fill-in, but I wouldn't mind getting a little more offense on the bench. Also, it's very possible the pitchers like throwing to Chavez, but his constant moving around, talking, etc. seems a bit distracting to me. As you can see from the lineup, Vernon Wells is still hitting 3rd. That's Cito, folks -- love him, or, well, not.

OK, normally I try my best to support the players
But FFS, that was one of the dumbest plays I’ve seen in a long time. That does deserve a benching for a game – I see other teams benching younger players for base-running gaffs and not running out grounders, so why not bench Rios for probably costing your team a tie and chance at coming back to win.

Downs
For obvious reasons we hardly ever see Downs pitch lately. I havent’ analyzed it or anything, but I sometimes wonder whether moving him to the closer spot hasn’t cost the Jays some games. Normally, he was used here and there in high leverage situations to get to the 9th with a lead. With other people filling those roles, such as Carlson, we have seen more leads blown in the last 6+ weeks that we’ve been accustomed to. Removing Downs from the set up position, has likely increased pressure on the Carlsons, Frasors and Leagues, thus hurting their performance. I hope BJ can return to the closer role at some point.

Wells (my observation)
I am no hitting expert surely … but when I see Wells swinging it seems like he is not swinging though with his front arm
that is, he swings his front arm until it gets perpendicular to his torso and then it sort of stops and the rest of the bat momentun is than carried by wrist rotation and than elbow rotation
basically, his front arm is not swinging through …
no expert … but maybe its an issue

Joking aside, that does make sense.
I think Cito’s the type who doesn’t want to play with the “marquee” spots in the batting order too much – 1st and 4th.
Though he has mixed it up a few times, it’s still not as often as he would if Rolen were there.

Cramps imply a quad, calf or hammy

he runs in from the bull pen at full blast every night
anyhow , i m saying lots of these baseball players are soft and mushy or generally out of shape etc .. which makes them more prone to injury
they should really work out (cardio and lifting) so that they are more durable and less subject to these minor injuries … this would apply to Downs and Doc situations IMHO

That’s not an ankle injury. That’s a toe/bottom of the foot. He might have just strained something down there.

cito has a lot of positives as manager
but he has a ton of negatives too…
mismanaging a nl league game has to be one of them

Hasn't he been managing exclusively in the AL?
That certainly factors into it. Hell, there are NL managers who can’t manage an NL game.

Wow
Scutaro for Suckage (-.411) and I’d say Barajas too – 3 infield fly rules with bases loaded. Brutal.
Rolen (.568) and Lind (.338) for JoD. 7th spot also (Overbay/Millar combined .492).

Crazy game, it seems.......
I can read that nobody did their best to win it but luckily Philly did its very best to lose it with those bases-loaded walks. This is a big win, hopefully the Jays can build some good thing upon it. And I’m not going forward all the way to the Nationals’ series. I am talking about this series, which is much tougher and important. Let’s hope for the best…..
