8/26 @ SF Giants IGT

[Diamond Dad]

Nobody tell Traks that this isn't Pt. St. Lucie

[Guest holychicken]

Great, the san fran feed has to show the collision.

Thanks, I really needed to see that again.

[Frayed Knot]

I like Trax batting there.

Seaver kept talking about a pitch count but the guy had 6 rehab starts plus a simulated game and was able to build up to 100+ pitches. No reason why he needs to be held back here and with the meat of the pen all being used yesterday I'd rather see him in bottom 8 (and maybe 9) than anyone else right now.

[Guest GYC]

Screw Beltran.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There goes the no hitter. Damn you Howie Rose. And Randy Winn. And Chad Pennington, the $64 million piece of garbage.

Baseball, gentlemen, please.

[Zvon]

only 84 pitches by trash up to this point.

Id like to see him get thru the 8th.

[Theoldmole]

Armando Benitez up in the bullpen for SF.

[Zvon]

That ump is squeezin Trachsel.

Damn, at least that 1st inside pitch was a sure strike.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tying guy on third with two out.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Hernandez warming. I can't imagine he's well rested after last night's turn, but give WWSB credit -- he knows who his best reliever is.

[Zvon]

my fingers and toes are crossed.
and eyes

[metirish]

Trax is spent it seems, if he gets through this inning it will be something else, either way it has been a great effort.

[smg58]

I'm worried this is one batter too many.

yes, it has.
And Seavers right.
he hung that off speed pitch.
he gettin tired.

[smg58]

OK, everybody exhale...

[Guest GYC]

Trax gets out of the 8th. Nice. Winn pops up on 3-1. 1-0 Mets going to Top of the 9th.

[Theoldmole]

Trax to leave the game after a brilliant job.

[metirish]

WOW, he did it, that folks is one hard nosed SOB, welcome back Steve Trachsel.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

That was a hell of an effort by Trax tonite.

I was certain we'd rue the 1 extra pitch caused by Jacob's inability to catch that foul pop up 5 innings ago. Now he's off the hook, Trax can only win and deserves to, and it's the longest possible time till Beltran bats again:

Rally time!

[Zvon]

really.
and yea, welcome back.
This is a quality start plus.

we need trachsel for this stretch run.

[metirish]

Here comes Blooper....fasten the seat belts people.

LMAO, your crack me up JD.
i like your singular perspective.

Okay, 3 more.
Looper, earn yer pay.

[Guest martin]

i am stressin here.

LETS GET IT DONE LOOP!

[Elster88]

Please don't fuck this up Braden.

[Guest GYC]

It's as if they are expecting Looper to fail. Did a double switch and already have Padilla warming up before he threw a pitch.

And now a double for Vizquel.

[metirish]

Double to right center field..

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Oddly, Padilla warming up ... before Loopy surrenders a leadoff double.

Gary & Howie think something's up.

[Guest holychicken]

San fran announcers giving Looper props. . . of course he immediately gives up a double.

Beltran was definitely afraid to dive.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Missing Mike Cameron right now.

[Zvon]

shittttttt

Diaz looked like he was runnin under water for that double,lol.
wassupwidat?

Comeon looperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

whew, there one out.
