[Elster88]

Just this once Nymr.

[Elster88]

After singling to left, Brady Clark is gunned by about 10 feet trying to steal second.

Castro!

[Elster88]

Anybody want to explain to me why the worst hitter in the National League is batting second today?

[Gwreck]

To build CAHNfidence.

Real answer: to keep the rest of the lineup as much the same as possible. Ya don't mess with stuff when you've won 8 in a row.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Anybody wanna explain to me why "Glavine" is in the subject heading?

Is it bad luck to change it?

[Elster88]

Delgado with a nice play reaching to his left snags a short hop down the line. Flip to Trachsel retires Jenkins.

D'oh. Fixed.

I don't believe in this. Will Beltran and Wright all of a sudden stop seeing the ball because they're in a different spot?

[Guest GYC]

Nice bunt for Hernandez.

[Elster88]

A swinging bunt, purposefully. Base hit Hernandez.

5 total hits, 2 have left the infield.

My jaw dropped when i saw the lineup.
This does add fuel to by "Willie is an idiot" argument though. Would he bat Rey Ordonez 2nd?

Perhaps in Willie's World it will.

No. But its possible they believe they might; or that WWSB believes they would believe they might; or WWSB believes it might and they don;t care.

Let's hope Hernandez gets good at that little wussy hit because he hasn't shown to be good at much else offensively.

But I say, give him, 100 or 125 ABs then re-evaluate.

[Elster88]

]Would he bat Rey Ordonez 2nd?

Probably. He's not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I've been unimpressed with both his in-game management and handling of the media thus far.

But because the team is fairly disgusting he's going to look very good.

[Guest Bret Sabermetric]

Wussy little hits like that also draw the infield in a few steps, and make possible a few bigger hits getting through. They all look the same in the box score.

[Gwreck]

Damn, Steve, the guy is a .231 career hitter. You couldn't get HIM out?

[Elster88]

Is the first game of the year when the Mets haven't scored first?

[Gwreck]

EDIT: No, 2nd game I think. The 4/9 game vs. the Marlins they scored first.

[Guest abogdan]

The Brewers are paying way too much attention on Delgado when he's on base.

[Elster88]

Well....the good thing is now that the bases are loaded with one out we don't have Hernandez up.

[Elster88]

Good job by Castro. He's a good little player.

[Guest abogdan]

]the good thing is now that the bases are loaded with one out we don't have Hernandez up.

Willie's a genius. Castro sac fly ties it up 1-1.

Willie is a genius and saw in his Crystal BaseBall that this situation would arise.

[Guest Edgy DC]

And at 12:58 pm, the light of truth shown simulataneously on Nymr83 and abogdan.

[Elster88]

You need to fix your clock. Spring forward.

[nymr83]

wow i just noticed that

[Guest Edgy DC]

Test. (Failed.)

[Guest Edgy DC]

Milwaukee is rallying and re-taking the lead in the fourth. One thing that isn't more fun when the Mets are winning is the Mets losing.

[Elster88]

Nady should've caught that, maybe?

Fake bunt and swing by Okha, ball lands on the warning track. That's decent opposite field power for a pitcher.

Holy crap, Fielder is fat rumbling in from second. A good throw by Hernandez probably gets him. He needs to make that play if he's going to hit .200

[duan]

ah this could get ugly.
