IGT 6 - 4/11/06 at Nationals - Bannister vs. Ortiz

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

Strange choice. I just hope we don't need him on Wednesday and Thursday.

Maybe Wagner wanted the inning. It can be a tough call deciding when your closer needs an inning to keep his arm fresh. You never know what's coming up.

[seawolf17]

He probably wanted work, and once he starts throwing, you get him in the game, even if you're up by six. No reason warming him up for nothing.

[Elster88]

He should've been fresh enough, just having pitched on Sunday. Tomorrow would be the day to make sure he gets work in. Especially since there's no off day for two weeks.

And shouldn't have even been warming, since we were up by 4 when he started warming.

[duan]

seriously; you'd have to question that.
We're going to put enough of a load on Billy's arm, do we really need him going 30 odd pitches for a 6 run lead when we don't have another off day till the 27th April?

I mean if Oliver can't pitch here, what's the point.

[Elster88]

Fucking Willie. Maybe it was Peterson's doing.

[Guest Rotblatt]

Yeah, I don't like this move.

I'm not going to get on Willie's case for it just yet, but if it becomes a regular thing, I'll be really pissed.

[Elster88]

Up to 2 walks and 23 pitches for the Sandman.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Wild pitch follws a walk.

Couldn't Wagner just throw a side session or something?

[Guest Rotblatt]

Billy, for the love of Christ, throw strikes when you're up by 6 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

[seawolf17]

Maybe he wanted to practice pitching around guys, in case he needs to do it later in the season.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Full count. Just get this over with.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Ball f***ing four.

They're loaded for Zimmerman.
Hey, if he gives up a few runs at least we can bring in our All-Star closer.

[Diamond Dad]

One more baserunner and it will be a save situation -- just not for Wagner

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Strike three, game over, thank the lord.

Duaner is warming.

OE: But the world rights itself.

[Centerfield]

Fucking Wagner always has to make it interesting.

[Diamond Dad]

Strike one, strike two, strike three. Game over. That's more like it!

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

The Mets Win!

[Elster88]

32 pitches for Wagner.


So in a 6-run win we manage to use Heilman and Wagner and have Sanchez warm up.


Way to go Willie!!!

[duan]

hallelujah.

seriously though, what the fuck was that all about. Bring in anyone but Wagner there. Now you'd have to think he's unlikely to be available in more then 3 out of the next 5 games.

[Guest Rotblatt]

ah-hem.

Last year, we only had five 4-game winning streaks.

[Guest Beenso]

We have a thread for the MFs and their retarded announcer.

[Elster88]

Did we have any 5-game winning streaks?

3. We also had one 6-game winning streak.

[Elster88]

Yup. I realized that after I posted. Can't believe I forgot. 0-5 to 5-5.

[Willets Point]

Can you speak up sonny, I can't hear you!!!!

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

If you two have something to say, perhaps you'd like to share it with the entire class?

[seawolf17]

I think we can stop whispering now.

[Guest cooby]

Yeah, we already can't clean our contacts, now we can't read what you're writing either
