And We'll Sweep Out the Ashes in the Morning: 6/18 Game Thread, Jays at Phillies

Toronto Blue Jays at Philadelphia Phillies, Jun 18, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
So, the Jays have a shot at sweeping the World Series Champion Phillies on the road (where they've really struggled) after getting swept by the Florida Marlins at home, where they've been great. So far this series, the Jays have gotten great starting pitching and have gotten back to their longball hitting ways.
Even more exciting, Brad Mills makes his major-league debut today in place of the injured Casey Janssen. After nearly making the Jays' starting rotation out of spring training, the 24-year old lefty has had an up-and-down season thusfar for Las Vegas. He started slow, put together a very nice string of starts, and then has had a bit of trouble more recently. That said, his overall numbers aren't too bad for the hitter-friendly PCL, though Citizens' Bank Ballpark in Philadelphia is a hitters' haven itself. Mills occasionally has some command issues but generally has a good approach to pitching. With so many lefties in Philadelphia's lineup, it's not a bad matchup for him, but those are good hitters and it's a small ballpark so it should be quite a challenge. Mills is a bit of a flyball pitcher who doesn't really have any one dominant pitch but uses the traditional repertoire effectively and has a bit of a deceptive delivery that might be hard for hitters who haven't seen him before to pick up on. He's originally from Arizona, and got his engineering degree at the University of Arizona.
Joe Blanton starts for the Phillies and he has given the Jays fits before, so let's hope our good hitting from yesterday carries over into this afternoon. Read more about Blanton in the typically fabulous jessef opposing pitchers profile. Cito must really want this win as he is starting Rolen (once again in the cleanup spot) in the day game after a night game, even with Bautista on the bench and the lefty on the mound for the Phillies. Overbay gets the start at first and Chavez starts behind the dish.
Today's title comes from the lovely Graham Parsons and the Fallen Angels song. Let's hope the Jays can sweep out the ashes of their Florida series with a sweep of the defending champs!
By the way, the weather today in Philadelphia doesn't look great. My understanding is that the tarp is off the field, which suggests an on-time start, but it could be a long afternoon so we'll have to see how it goes

hmmm would be bad if the wind lifted Carson and that umbrella away.
scott seems to have trouble with the english language at times.

A footnote to hugo's thread.........
…………I feel the reason why Scott Rolen is playing a day game after a night game lies in his excellent career numbers against the Phillies, which I highlighted in my very humble “preview of the game” thread earlier today.
Let’s hope for the best, enjoy the game…..as I try to do so on my PDA and on the web……

do you really 'count on' a pitcher more when others are injured
I mean…they are going to make their starts, and you want them to do well but no more than you did before the injuries
by Tom Dakers on Jun 18, 2009 1:11 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I think maybe
in the sense that you especially need him to pitch well to save the bullpen in case the stopgap pitchers need bailing out. The Jays relied on Doc to give the bullpen a bit of a rest every 5 days, so if their other starters can go deep into games, that would help a little, no?

I feel like it favors large-market AL teams
but not so much small-market or mid-market ones who can’t necessarily afford to pay millions for a DH (and if they are, then they are not using that money to fill a different position).

I am suggesting that both leagues are being screwed.
Interleague is a bad idea. The two leagues have a completely different brand of baseball, and forcing EITHER league to conform until the World Series is absolutely ridiculous. Sorry that I neglected to make that point earlier.

How Carlson gets burned out
here is some data on Carlson I have been messing with .. on average Carlson gives up 0.55 ER per outing
however, Carlson needs to get rested
if Carlson comes out 4 times in 4 days, his ER jumps to 2.00, if he comes out 4 times in 5 days his ER is 1.71, if he comes out 4 times in 6 days his ER is 0.80, if he comes out 4 times in 7 days his ER falls to 0.60 and if Carlson comes out 4 times in 8 days his ER is 0.55
bottom line, Carlson seems most effective as an every other day reliever and the more you use him, the more his effectiveness falls off

No, I'm not saying that
but Carlson has had a few really bad outings this year. You’re implying that they’re solely due to overpitching. I’m just saying, look at what he did last year. If he had the same problems last year, then you have a point. If he didn’t, I’d say that you could be looking at coincidences.
