How about a Cliff Lee Philles debut thread?

[gt2590]

The word is that even though he didn't really know anyone in the clubhouse, except Durbin, that he will fit in well and is pretty pumped for this shot at playing deep into October.

Phillies waste error and walk in first as Howard K'd and Raul flied out.

Let's see what he's got. Sometimes guys in this situation "over-throw" and can't throw strikes.

Looked really good in the first, 3 up 3 down.

J Werth homers to lead off 2nd, then they walk the next guy.

Managers love that. Only Bako and Pitcher up next, but still...

A good 2nd inning for Lee. He retired the first batter; Garko fouled off 7 or 8 pitches and finally drew a walk, then Rowand hit into a DP.

 

[gt2590]

No-hitter intact! :lol:

 

[Phish]

Here's my predicted line:

8 IP | 1 ER | 6 Hits | 8 K's |

 

[ral72]

1,2,3 in the 3rd. He's dealing tonight so far!!

 

[allstars]

woohoo this is lookin good! Lee's out-hitting the Giants too!

 

[gt2590]

I didn't see the Raul line-out but it sounded like it was a rope right-at-a-guy kinda thing.

Don't like not scoring more with runners on, the Phils tend to do that alot when not winning.

cor-rect!

Got a base hit in the bottom of the third. 1,2,3 in the 4th. Now maybe if the Phillies offense could just knock in some of those runners in scoring position!

 

[gt2590]

No-hitter intact! :lol:

I was kidding...Hmmmm...

 

[Phish]

Francisco with a double

Another wasted opportunity. ::facepalm::

 

[gt2590]

Another wasted opportunity. ::facepalm::

Yep.

 

[ral72]

1,2,3 in the 5th! Still need some offense to help him out, though. 54 pitches, 41 strikes.

 

[Phish]

Feliz on 2nd with Lee up

 

[gt2590]

I thought it was kinda quick to pull Sadowski, but it's worked out. It'd be a shame to not score enough to give Cliffy a win in first game, especially with him pitching this well.

Time for the always needed relevent Scrubs clip...

"What opportunity?"
