| Player Notes |
|
October 30, 2009 Joe Blanton has been slated to pitch Game 4 of the World Series for Philadelphia, according to the Our View:Skipper Charlie Manuel does not want to use ace Cliff Lee on only three days of rest. Lee will take the hill in Game 5. Blanton has World Series experience, as he pitched for the club in 2008. |
|
October 19, 2009 Joe Blanton pitched six strong innings for the Phillies on Monday as his team came from behind to beat the Dodgers 5-4. Blanton allowed three runs on six hits while walking two and striking out two. Our View:Blanton wasn't great tonight, but he was good and he kept his team in the game through six innings. He didn't factor into the decision, but it looks like manager Charlie Manuel made the right move by starting him tonight. |
|
October 17, 2009 Our View:Blanton getting the call means that rookie standout J.A. Happ will remain in the bullpen. The Phils think they can ride Blanton's sinking fastball to a win, but the Dodgers have some potent lefty hitters that punnish right-handed pitching. Stay tuned. |

October 11, 2009 Manager Charlie Manuel hinted that Joe Blanton could possibly be used in a save situation, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "We want somebody when we get into the seventh inning, we want to be able to go through the seventh, eighth, ninth inning with Blanton, Madson, Lidge. Might not be in that order.." Our View:Blanton was the Phillies No. 3 starter for most of the season, but J.A. Happ's emergence has gotten Manuel's confidence. We would be surprised to see him in a one-run save situation, but it remains a possibility. |
|
October 2, 2009 Joe Blanton was hammered for five earned runs on nine hits over six innings in Friday's 7-2 loss to the Marlins at Citizens Bank Park. He had two walks with three strikeouts. Our View:Blanton had his three-game winning streak snapped, and his ERA climbed to 4.05. |
