What does $4 million buy us in today's market? We'll see this afternoon, come 1:05 PM. Pettitbone vs. Marcum.

I'm hopeful for Marcum. Gary mentioned this last night though, in letting Gee go for the 7th. It was just one bad inning and why not give him another to go out on a good note, plus he's part of your rotation, You want to trust him and let him pitch. But with Marcum today on a limited pitch count, although it's still reasonable, you might want to hold back a reliever Inning. Of course, one of the relievers that pitched yesterday is leaving anyway, so maybe it doesn't really matter.

Marcum has usually been pretty good when he has been healthy. This will be the 150th start of his career and he has a lifetime 3.71 ERA as a starter. He very rarely gets blown out...but he's not likely to pitch a shutout either. If the offense can help a little, he should keep the team in most games he starts.

I'm looking for a quality start out of Marcum today..6 or more IP..3 or less ER He was pretty decent in Milwaukee when healthy. I am hopeful..

Duda goes back to the wall to grab a log drive by Howard. Scoreless first for Marcum, 2 Ks and an infield single.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 11:28 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Gah. A DP and a questionable called strike three to Wright ends a possible threat in the first. No hits but two on from a HBP and walk.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 11:30 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Orange brim caps look much better with the blue tops imo. I mean, if you have to have them at all.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 11:34 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

I don't think so. But yea, we did get him. Nice throw Bucky.

Ashie62 Apr 27 2013 11:46 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Valdy!

Swan Swan H Apr 27 2013 11:46 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

'SPEEN!

Zvon Apr 27 2013 11:47 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Whos da man? Valde drives in the first run of the game following a Davis double.

Ashie62 Apr 27 2013 11:47 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Those Mets unis are tweaking me...

Zvon Apr 27 2013 11:54 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Lets give it right back.

Ashie62 Apr 27 2013 11:57 AM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

The stadium looks pretty full today...Lets give them reasons to stay...and come back.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:00 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Why didn't Buck slide down laterally to block that? If he did it would have bounced right into him. Stupid effort. Phils take the lead on a wild pitch. Marcum looked good and in control to start. Could he be tired already?

Ashie62 Apr 27 2013 12:00 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Marcum looks horrible..and rusty..hopefully not sore...

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:12 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Philly double plays hurt me on a cellular level.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:20 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Marcum had a good quick inning there. TIME TO GET HITTIN AND SCORIN AND THE OTHER STUFF.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:23 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

"Dave hoping to be a part of that (the ASG)"- Foxhead. How could that be in doubt? Hey, lets make sure, no matter how he does, that he is the starting third baseman for the NL.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:26 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

When does it officially become a rally? After a run is scored? After three reach?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 27 2013 12:28 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

I think you have to score one or two first. But we DO have quite the stew matierial here, though.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:45 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Damn. Right thru Tejedas legs but, Foxheads are right, he was blocked by Rollins. Tuff break.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:46 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

OW. That tuffer. Brown goes downtown. *frown

Zvon Apr 27 2013 12:47 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Mayberry launches another.

dinosaur jesus Apr 27 2013 12:54 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Could we just fly in the whole Las Vegas pitching staff tomorrow and send the guys we have home? Jesus.

Ashie62 Apr 27 2013 12:59 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

This is the first day that I have that "this is going to be a long season" feeling..

Zvon Apr 27 2013 01:08 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Beers on me Hawkins!

A few more of those and we are even Bax.

I've got beers on my Hawkins, tattoos on my chest My ship is a tub but my crew is the best We'll steal all your women and drink all your rum So sing with us, mateys, "Chase Utley's a bum."

A few more of THOSE and we are through, Bax. Maybe there's a reason everyone was so in love with Niewenhuis' glove, comparatively.

Some of Hawkins beer evaporates.

Six up and six down against Raul Valdes. Good grief.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 02:10 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Image from the 7Line. Great concept. Gotta tip my cap to them and Buck.

Zvon Apr 27 2013 02:11 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

Gah. These last few games are more like I expected the whole season to be. So, it could be worse. and BOOOOOOO!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 27 2013 02:14 PM Re: IGT 4/27, Phillies @ Mets: Elbow Macaroni

He's a big lefty, granted. And his fastball flashes mid-'90s (albeit with iffy command, and little-to-no-movement). But he's never put together anything like a dominant month above A-ball, and he's NEVER been as good against lefties as he should be/our folks seem to hope he would be. Can someone tell me what Carson has EVER shown this organization to justify any belief that he would be useful at the major-league level? On the plus side, think about it-- the one thing we're not doing well at all is pitching... which is the strength of our minor-league system, is it not?
