Jayson Werth drives a ball to the wall in left-center. Brett Gardner makes a great catch but slams into the wall and goes down. He’s going to stay in the game in the bottom of the fifth with the Phillies leading 6-2. With Cabrera disabled, the Yankees are a bit short on [...]

The top of the Phillies lineup went 1-for-14. One for fourteen.
Aside from Jayson Werth, the Phillies offense couldn’t figure out Andy Pettitte after the second inning, as he kept the Fightins’ left-handed hitters silent and collectively 0-for-12 with seven strikeouts. Cole Hamels, meanwhile, failed to get back on the post-season success wagon as he failed [...]

Beerleaguer hands over the morning post to a long-time reader, who offers his insights into Ryan Howard’s slump. Howard regressed in hitting left-handers in 2009, with a drop in OPS from .746 in 2008 to .653 this season. This, despite the fact that he had better protection in Jayson Werth and should have seen better pitches to hit. So a steady diet of lefties from the Yankees will...

Jayson Werth is having quite an extraordinary postseason. He has now blasted 7 homeruns this postseason, including two last night in the 8-5 loss to the Yankees. Werth is now tied with Troy Glaus and B.J. Upton, and one homerun behind Barry Bonds and Carlos Beltran for tops on the list of homeruns hit in [...]

Melky Cabrera left last night’s game with a hamstring injury in the 6th inning, leaving Joe Girardi without his starting CF. Sitting on the Yankee bench was one Brett Gardner, who entered the game in his place. An injury to a starting CF can be devastating for a team, but the Yankees carry [...]

Brett Gardner slammed against the wall, back first, and in one moment in the fifth inning, he did what he had hoped when he got the start in center field in place of the injured Melky Cabrera: He made a contribution.

Game 4's over and done with, so here are my updated playoff odds. First, I'll again present the updated team numbers for the remaining games. As far as what's changed since Game 3, the primary thing (aside from # of games and HFA) is the Yankees lose a CC Sabathia start and an inning of Mo, although with only three games left the bullpen innings are concentrated amongst...

Jayson Werth, who entered Game 3 Saturday night tied with Alex Rodriguez for the most homers this postseason, briefly took the lead from A-Rod when the Phillies right fielder went deep in the second inning off Andy Pettitte.

Once again the Phillies' backs are against the wall. They have thrived in these kinds of situations during the regular season and post-season over the last 3 seasons. Can they do it one (or two) more times?
Here are my thoughts heading into Game 6...
Pedro vs. Pettitte on 3 days rest. I personally would prefer our position here. We beat up Pettitte on 4 days rest (overshadowed...

That one was rather frustrating. Cole Hamels looked dominant early but unraveled quickly after being squeezed on a would-be strike three to Mark Teixiera in the top of the fourth. A-Rod got the Yankees on the board with a questionable home run that hit off a camera hanging over the right field wall that some brilliant exec at FOX thought would be a great spot for it. Hamels came...

Ain't cha never heard of Charlie Manuel? If Phillies fans didn't know the one-time Japanese baseball legend and more recent manager of the Cleveland Indians, they certainly got to know him quickly after he was introduced by then-GM Ed Wade as the Phillies' new skipper on November 4th, 2004, replacing the recently departed Larry Bowa. "We've chosen Charlie Manuel...

From Fangraphs:
If there was one glaring lesson from last night’s game, it was how quickly a dominating pitcher can get humbled. Joba Chamberlain looked like he was at the top of his game, blowing away Jayson Werth and Raul Ibanez with 97 MPH fastballs. After getting ahead of Pedro Feliz with two swinging strikes, [...]
