Harvey Dominates, Doc Sputters in 7-2 Phils Loss
Posted by Ian Riccaboni, Mon, April 08, 2013 10:04 PM | Comments: 87
2013 Game Recaps
The young Matt Harvey was impressive in seven innings, striking out nine while scattering five base runners, setting up a 7-2 Mets win. Harvey is the second Mets pitcher with consecutive starts of 7+ IP and 3 or fewer hits to start a season. The other was Nolan Ryan in 1970.
Halladay Hits the Wall
In his second start of the season, Halladay fell off track early again, allowing a three-run home run to John Buck in the third. Halladay threw 99 pitches, just 59 for strikes, allowing three walks, six hits, and seven runs, all earned. Hitters routinely took advantage of hitters' counts and Halladay exited the game in the fifth with runners on first and third. Doc's fastball sat around 89 for most of the night but left it over the plate too often.
Durbin Was Durbin
Chad Durbin entered the game in a tough spot, with two runners on, but allowed both to score. My favorite fictitious baseball player ever is Wally Bunting, the Quad-A type player who Rick Moranis's wife leaves him for in the 1990 film My Blue Heaven. In the movie, a radio announcer very calmly says "Fans, what are we going to do with Wally Bunting?" I'm starting to get this feeling regarding Durbin – you don't want to penalize him for allowing the inherited runners to score in a tough spot but Durbin compounded his situation by walking Lucas Duda. Ruben Tejada sealed the deal by singling in a pair and closing the book on Doc.
What are we going to do with Chad Durbin?
Did Howard Leave His Bat in Clearwater?
Ryan Howard went 0-3 with 2 Ks, lowering his average to .154. The progress Howard made in Spring has seemingly been erased – Howard chased one up the ladder near the letters and down and out of the strike zone.
Were There Any Positives?
There were a few – Michael Young fielded his position about as well you could ask for and Jeremy Horst had two solid innings. Raul Valdes also threw two scoreless innings.
The Phils are in action again tomorrow against the Mets and have Cliff Lee taking the hill.

A continuation of last year's debacle. Howard looks completely clueless and I've been a supporter of him and his mega-deal. He's making me look realllllly bad. The rest of the team with the exception of Utley and Young are ridiculous. Perhaps its not out of the question to bat Ben Revere ninth. Oh well the sun will come up tomorrow barring a super-nova and I've still got to go work.

Watched this game while chatting with my buddy from Long Island.
He cant believe how lifeless the Phils are.
Reminds him of the old mets teams with Delgado Reyes and Beltran.
He understands now that he is better off without those guys.
There is something to be said for being young and hungry.
If it gets too bad maybe a new manager becomes a reality.
Definately have to think if Halladays days as an effective starter may be over.
He tries and he cares and he gives full effort but there has been nothing there the first 2 starts.
3 games behind the mets on april 8th.

I am not an overly negative fan, and I don't like to jump on players early. But I would like to put this out there – with what seemed like a logjam of players trying to get into the bullpen this spring, how long of a leash does Chad Durbin get?

Matt Harvey is the real deal, and Zack Wheeler is projected to be even better. Yikes.
I don't think they can give Halladay more than two or three more starts pitching like he is now. Even if he continues to claim he's healthy, they'll convince him to come down with one of those phantom injuries for the good of the team. It's hard to watch him pitch like this.
You know things are going bad when one of the game's highlights is Michael Young making some routine plays in the field.

What have we got to lose if they bring up Ruf to play 1b versus lefties and sit Howard on the wood. Its a win win situation plus he'll be available to PH late in games when they bring that southie in to pitch to the "Big lummox, er Piece"

You mean they would rather keep him in the lineup to their disadvantage than platoon him with Ruf because of his salary? If so, whoever made that decision needs to be fired and us P's faithful need to find a team that wants to win. I find that comment really hard to swallow.

Not to speak for Rudy but I think he means that teams don't platoon their stars, no matter how bad their platoon splits are.
Ethier, Morneau, Dunn, Crawford, Hosmer, etc.

howards problem is freakin shift. he hits the ball hard to right field practically every time he makes contact. He needs to learn to hit to left for a month, and keep the defense honest.

Great as if its not bad enough bring back Oswalt?
And yes you can platoon or sit anyone making any amount.
As Ive said many times the Giants won a WS benching thier highest priced offensive player ( Rowand) and pitcher ( Zito)

$11 million is slightly less than $25 million, and I'm talking about the reality of the situation right now in Philadelphia. Do you actually believe that RAJ would allow his highest paid position player to become a part time player? It would be admitting that the Howard contract was a huge mistake, and in case you haven't noticed, RAJ doesn't often admit to being wrong. It's not like this is the last year of that deal – they still have three more guaranteed years after this one. A platoon with Howard just isn't happening.

Well I suppose Ryan could be a hot dog vender when the team faces lefties. That would make up some of the salary.

So we should just sit back for three years and know, because of his contract, he"ll be in lineup everyday and we have no chance for full success. So we should as lemmings just pay the prices for tickets, beer and food and don't have any regard for how the team does. I don't think so. Amaro needs to go and Howard needs to learn how to hit to left or sit his big ass down at least versus southpaws when Ruf can start and pinch hit late in games for him which gives the P's a better chance of victory.

If you mean Rowand, by 2010 he had had exactly ONE season as an above-average hitter in the last 6. He had hit .230 that year, with a .281 OBP and no power, and was one of the worst hitters in baseball. Not a very compelling example.

That's exactly right. Bochy, the giants manager will bench the highest paid player for the good of the team. I've seen it many times with success and the players never complain. In the 2010 world series, Barry zito did not even make the team and he's under contract for millions. But he wasn't pitching good. Last year he was pitching good and was one of the heroes of the post season. I've said it before, bochy is the reason they have 2 rings. He is a brilliant manager. Just a response to a comment from Rudy about mets pitchers Harvey and wheeler possibly being a better pitcher. Listening to a talk show out here in California the other day. The guest from the minor leagues, supposedly an expert, says after wheeler, the mets have so many pitchers as strong as they are in line to start coming up to the majors that they probably will have no choice to make trades for lack of room on the team. If I was in upper management with the phillies, I would aggressively look at their system and really try and pick up one or two prospects at any cost. They have money issues, sooooooo. Be smart

Exactly Frank thats why they have 2 titles.
With teams that talent wise couldnt touch the 2011 Phillies team that lost in the first round.
Its SF though and this is philly.
But if it gets bad enough anything is possible.

Unfortunately, I don't know that Zito and Howard are an apples to apples comparison. Zito was really bad for a long time before he was knocked off the post season roster. Unfortunately, as bad as he has looked on the whole since Opening Day, it is only 7 games, and it's not like streaks are anything new to Howard. Plus, he's a hit the ball hard a fair amount of the time this year. I get the idea of an occasional platoon, a removal from the 4 spot, all that good stuff, I just don't know if it's that simple. I haven't looked at his numbers off Gee, but a night off might not be a bad idea. I kinda doubt it happens, but that's a pretty wild guess.

Irrespective of $$$, contracts etc., it is very painful to watch one of the very best players of any generation deteriorate before our very eyes. For me, it was a very sad event in front of a national ESPN audience. Imagine the embarrassment, the pain, and the feelings Doc had…..I don't care how much $$$$ he earns – to be disrobed in front of millions of fans….I know I was embarrassed for that man who has given us all so many memorable moments. In fact, I couldn't wait to see the basketball game and turned the Phils off to see something less difficult to watch………..

He doesnt have to admit to being wrong.
You can see it on the field plan as day.
Do I thnk he will bench him?
My point was that a team that really wanted to win would do whatever to win.
If it continues like this Charlie may be gone sooner rather than later.
Hopefully a new manager will do whats best for the team and stop coddling the over priced prima donalds.
The salary should be moot when it comes to managing the team.

I know rationally it is still very early but when the duo Hamels & Halladay combine to give up 25 Runs in 18 Innings over their first 4 starts and the Phillies start 2-5 against the Braves, Royals and Mets I am ready to panic. Can anybody please calm me down?

The offense did not score runs today but they have scored enough runs against the Royals to sweep that series Doc struggle with his control again as did Cole I have faith they will go through hot starts. The biggest problem is running Durbin out there with guys on base every day. Aumont is having control issues but it time to start giving him the shot when you bring a RHer in.
I know I am doing it to Durbin and maybe he can find some old form. But slow streaks happen this offense will hit can we please wait at least 20-30 games before we bury this team

Horst and Valdes DID do okay. Yes that's true.
But at that point in an absolutely zero pressure situation and w the Mets all but not giving a crap- yeah those 2 did good. Big deal.
Not a lot to be happy about so far. Maybe- just the fact that its still early. Cole pitching like a slob really spreads bad karma for the team.
And lets see how long Chaz stays true to Durbin. What a waste it would be to keep Chad. We let him go before, did we think he's magically better???
And I had a bad feeling once Howard whiffed when Benny was on 3rd. It wasn't even close-99 on the radar. Wow Harvey.
What do you honestly think Howard feels? It's like HA-I'm making $25mil for a .154 average. Does anyone know him ?

I think Howard tries and cares.
He has not been properly coached.
You have a GM and a manager who allow players to swing at 3-0 pitches losing in late innings while leading off.
A home run to lead off losing 5-1 makes it 5-2. A walk puts pressure on the other team and theres a chance for a rally.
I do think that if the Phillies lose 15-5 tongiht and he hits 3 home runs he will be happy. As will a large portion of his fans who feel the need to always apologize or take up for him.
I think he would also consider winning an MVP on a last place team a good year.
I would not.
I do believe he cares though and there is effort. And that he isnt a bad guy.
Its about performance on the field.

No Schenk I think he is like most people and athletes.
The Michael Jordan and Doc Halladay and Pete Rose types that would sell their children and mothers to win are a very small minority of the athletes today.
Not knocking Howard for anything but performance on the field.
As Ive said before hes a good guy and cares. The contract is 0% his fault.
Hes been a liability for awhile on the diamond.
But thats just my opinion. You are entitled to yours.

Well, here's my two cents.
You can't bench Howard against lefties unless you have a guaranteed talent to replace him with. Ruf is not guaranteed, and if he's brought up, someone else has to go back to AAA. Who?
Halladay is having command issues partly because he's trying too hard to get his velocity up. He needs to slow down. Even if he's only hitting 87 MPH, if it's where it needs to be, it'll be more effective than 95 MPH in some batter's wheelhouse.
The offense faced an extemely difficult pitcher. They'll score runs in other situations.
The Phil's consistent slow starts make me wonder if there's something wrong with their ST program. Every year, they stink in April.

BTW…does anyone else but me hate the way the bullpen stats are compiled? If you look at Durbin's numbers from last night you would say he didn't do too bad. 1 inn, 0 runs 1 hit and 1 walk. What isn't shown is that the hit brought in 2 runners. Theoretically, Durbin could come in 50 times this year, surrender a hit that scores runners and his era remains in tact. I always thought that the pitcher leaving the game with runners in scoring position and the reliever who gave up the hit to score the inherited runners should be each charged .5 runs on their stats since they are both responsible for the runners scoring.

Posts: 0 schmenkman
fyi, if you go the game log below, it shows that he has allowed all 7 inherited runners to score this year (look for IR and IS). There are probably others that show the same kind of thing:

The team is flawed and we need to rebuild. Amaro must get young talent. Trade Utley and Chooch for some young studs. Throw in Lee if the deal is good.
Doc gone at end of year. Build around Hamels. The earlier we start the sooner we can get a new team. Expect below 500 for 3-4 years.

RE: Howard v. LHP.
No other manager would have sat by this long while allowing Howard to hit in the 4 spot against LHP. The money that he makes, the problem(s) that a change might create for his psyche, etc. all pale in consideration to the woeful inadequacy of his performance and what it does to the team. Ryan can't or won't change his approach and Charlie either doesn't care or just chooses to lift with a black hole in the cleanup spot. When you bat Howard against a lefty, he has a 1 in 5 chance of not making an out. What else needs to be said?

Problem is, numerous studies have shown that changing of line-up spots only has minimial impact on overall run production of a team. Check out this link, for example:

Well, as I said, it has an impact but a very small one. Of course, if you do everything wrong with the line-up then the impact might be a liitle bigger.
Hitting Howard 6th in the lineup against lefties will give him maybe 20 PA's less against lefties compared to hitting him in the clean-up spot. over the whole season. That is what I call minimal impact.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, although it seems like the majority beat me to it.
But it is so typical for us fans to avoid the inevitable. Durbin is this years Qualls and reunions rarely work out for the best. It also tells me Cholly doesn't trust anyone other than Adams and Pap but not for nothing, like that Canadian go out there and throw heat. At least he'll force people to swing unlike Durbin who automatically is advance to "Go." Howard, while notoriously a slow starter has no excuse. Nobody wants to hear why a guy making 25M can't get it right. He looked like he "learned' this Spring and then forgot it all by the start of the season.
Revere, while fun to watch on the base bath has zero pop, no arm and makes me really regret not finding the pieces or $ for one of the Upton brothers. Cole will get it right. Lee will be our best pitcher but at the end of the day, our outfield is a mess, our SP is almost as bad as our mid relief and we show no signs of power from the heart of our line-up with the exception of the God Utley.

Zito was in his 4th year with the Giants when he was left off the post season roster.
I know some here thinkk Howard is as good as ever.
But to me the decline has been on going since 2010.
As the Dipsy is trying to point out.
I am not saying to bench or platoon or anything else.
I am saying to be smart. If the Phillies face a lefthander the next 50 games just blindly penciling him in 4th is nonsense.
If the other team brings in a left handed reliever who howard is say 0-15 off with 14 Ks. in the ninth with the bases loaded and 2 outs Id like to at least think maybe hed be pinch hit for.
You guys are probably right and he will hit 4th forever regardless.
This is not good. This is one of the big problems of why this team has declined. Mirroring almost exactly the decline of Ryan Howard.
Re: Halladay
Its not his fault there wasnt a WS title won.
He deserved to win one and came here to get it.
Just didnt happen.

That's true about Howard. The media would have a field day benching a 25 million dollar man after one week of the season. I think Ryan does really care about his performance. That's why I think he needs help. I don't care what the stats say about changing the line up around. To take the pressure off of Ryan, I would bat him 5th or even 6th for now, and also pinch hit for him against a lefty in a critical late inning situation. I believe the manager has a responsibility to his players to help get them through tough times. And possibly, at the same time, something good might happen for the team and for Ryan.

Phils lineup for Wednesday is out and pretty standard. Actually, more than pretty standard, it's what you'd expect against the lefty. Howard does have 2 homers in 7 at bats off Gee, so any thought of resting him for a night, let alone moving him in the order went wayside fast.
Besides that, RyHo is having a kickass year compared to Rick Ankiel. He's struck out 12 times in 14 at bats.

Follow us on Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/HutchinsonURTeam A full length documentary about the preparation for the 2013 Downhill World Championships to show the real face of racing : commitment, doubts and hopes. Filmed over 14 months, it follows Mick and Tracey Hannah, Holly Feniak, Fabien Cousinié and Guillaume Cauvin during their preparation for Worlds. Through training, bike development, injuries and World Cup races you will get an exclusive insight to the life of a racer. Fabien Cousinié says : "It's been a long time since the team wanted to make a real movie, the World Championships in South Africa were an unique opportunity to show to the mountain bike community how much of an adventure it is and what level of dedication it takes to try to be at the top. One of the goals of this movie is to try to give visibility to our sport outside of the mountain bike world, to take it out of the industry, that's why we are going to give this documentary to many TV channels around the world to show how beautiful, exciting and dramatic mountain biking can be and also show that sport is not only 22 guys running behind a ball on a perfectly mowed lawn! " The documentary will be available for free on Internet in October and will also be shown on partner TV channels. We would like to thank the documentary partners without whom this project wouldn't have been made possible and who have allowed it to be available for free. Thanks to Polygon Bikes, Alltricks.com, Formula Brakes, Fox and Alpinestars. Also thanks the riders and team staff for their everyday full dedication to the sport they love! Of course thanks to all team sponsors : Hutchinson, Polygon, Alltricks.com, Alpinestars, Fox Shox, Bluegrass, Ride 100%, Spank, E-thirteen, Formula, Mavic, Crankbrothers, VP Components, Sony, FiveTen, ODI, JetBlack, Fizik, Zéfal, Unior Tools, Freelap, Clear Protect, Black Mountain Snowscoots, Ti-Springs.com.

Three families were drawn together through a blind tasting group. In 2007, they entered into a partnership along with Rolando Herrera of Mi Sueño Winery. A Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec were released in the inaugural vintage of 2007. In 2011, there were able to partner with Soberanes and Sierra Mar vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands to make vineyard designate Pinot Noirs.
Winemaker Rolando Herrera arrived in California at the age of 15 and took a job as a dishwasher at Auberge Du Soleil. Soon thereafter he worked as a stone mason at the home of Stag's Leap Wine Cellar's founder, Warren Winiarski. Winiarski offered him a job working harvest and he spent ten years working at Stag's Leap, including 7 years as cellarmaster. He later became an assistant winemaker at Chateau Potelle and Director of Winemaking at Paul Hobbs Consulting. In 2004, he left Paul Hobbs to devote all his time to Mi Sueño which had begun as a side project in 1997 while working at Chateau Potelle.
The wines are sold through a mailing list. Business offices are in Cardiff, California.

The Argentine ace has travelled from his homeland to undergo a medical after Juventus agreed a fee with City on Tuesday for his signature. Tevez was greeted at Milan Malpensa international airport by almost 200 people before making his way to Turin for talks and a medical at Juve. The 29-year-old is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Italian champions if he agrees personal terms and passes a medical. Tevez was also met by hundreds of Juve fans after making the trip to Turin and Juventus sporting director Beppe Marotta believes the arrival of the forward is a major coup for the Italian side. "This enthusiasm was needed. Tevez has been really a big coup" Marotta told Gazzetta.it The move will end Tevez's four-year spell at City after joining the club from bitter rivals in the summer of 2009. Tevez made 148 appearances for City, scoring 73 goals, although he was...

Okemo Travel Tips
Winter is just the start of the fun in Okemo, Vermont
Okemo is located in the south central part of Vermont and is reputed to be one of the best ski resort areas in the region. The powdery white slopes attract visitors and skiing enthusiasts from all over during the winter months. Yet as the snows melt in spring the mountain peaks do not lose their beauty; instead they are transformed into a summer adventure playground with activities that the whole family can enjoy. The colorful foliage in the fall season also adds to the romance of the area. A quiet stroll in the woods on a carpet of red and gold makes you feel like you've escaped into a dream world for a while.
Okemo, VT is a great Family Fun Destination
Okemo is a very family oriented ski resort area, and for this reason many families choose to stay in Okemo vacation rentals rather than hotels. This set up means you can enjoy meals on your own timetable, have enough space for the family to relax, enjoy some time together in front of the fireplace on your Vermont vacation, chatting about the day's exciting ski and snowboarding activities. Bed linen, towels, laundry facilities and a fully equipped kitchen are typically a part of vacation rentals and makes family lodging easy and convenient.
There are five main peaks near Okemo lodging, and ski runs cater to both beginner and advanced skiers. This means that you can enjoy some great time together as a family even if your kids are still quite small. The ski school is open to children from the age of four to fourteen years and offers both skiing and snowboarding programs. Introductory adult and women specific ski programs are also available. The Penguin Playground and day care center is for children aged six months to six years. The kids can enjoy hours of fun and entertainment while mom and dad explore the ski slopes. It is extremely popular with visitors, so be sure to book your space well in advance. The center is also open on Saturday evenings so that parents can enjoy a night out to themselves for a change.
All kinds of snow fun available at Okemo
The downhill runs cover an area of 632 acres. There are an impressive 119 ski routes in varying grades and 19 ski lifts providing easy access to the slopes. Guests staying at Okemo condos can explore different ski areas each day, or can return to their favorites time and again. The slopes are well maintained, and in season there are loads of additional activities to enjoy in Okemo. The Spring House is open well into the evening, and their hot tubs, pools, saunas and massage facilities are perfect for helping weary muscles recover after a long day out on the snow. Cross country skiers are not to be left out, as there are miles of awesome trails linking the various ski areas that can be explored. Snow shoeing can also be enjoyed in the valleys. Those wanting a thrilling snow ride can join a snowmobile excursion. Options from one hour to longer day excursions can be easily arranged.
Getting to Okemo
The closest airport is Rutland, VT which is a quick 30 minute drive from Okemo lodging. Burlington, VT and Albany, NY are 2 hours away and Boston, MA is a mere 3 hours drive. In season there are regular daily domestic flights from Boston's Logan Airport to Rutland, although many visitors from the New England area traveling with families choose to drive up to Okemo. From NYC you can take Amtrak's Ethan Allen Express to Rutland and arrange a transfer or car rental from there. There is also a regular bus shuttle service operated from New York City.
