IGT: 4/23/06, Mets @ Padres, Zambrano v. Hensley

[nymr83]

2-run single for Endy Chavez!

Padre fans gotta be livid at that 0-2 pitch.

[TransMonk]

Beltran who?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Miracle of miracles, Chavez comes through with a 2 run single.

[nymr83]

Reyes punch-hitting for the pitche, i'd have used Franco here.

[nymr83]

....but i guess it doesnt matter who bats when the pitcher can't find the plate, ball 4 to Reyes, its Matsui with the bases loaded and we'll have a pitching change.

[Theoldmole]

Reyes really seems to have learned how to look over a pitch.

[Guest abogdan]

Two RBIs for Endy Chavez!?!? Jose Reyes draws a walk!?!? What type of alternate universe have we fallen into?

[Gwreck]

I think Reyes may wind up staying in the game on some sort of double switch.

makes sense, put the pitcher in Matsui's spot.

="TheOldMole"]Reyes really seems to have learned how to look over a pitch.

yep, and off the bench too.
Gotta like it.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I can't believe the Padres are taking Cassidy out. I really liked him. Now Embry comes. Would Willie let Julio Franco pinch hit here then leave Reyes in to play SS and move Woodie to second? Apparently not.

[Zvon]

go ahead and walk him Embree.

[nymr83]

Matsui strikes out with the bases loaded, inning over.
It has got to be a shitty feeling for a guy to make 2 outs in 1 inning when his team is losing.

[Guest abogdan]

Ugh. Hernandez would have gotten a hit there. Keith Hernandez, that is. Andy would have hit a swining bunt to the pitcher.

[A Boy Named Seo]

And Kaz got all fastballs that AB. Damn it.

[Gwreck]

SHIT!

Still, we're back in it.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Matsui goes down swinging. It's a whole new ball game now ladies and gentleman.

How bout Woody goes to second and reyes goes to short.
Kaz sits.

[Gwreck]

Especially with that K, Willie needs to double-switch here, keeping Reyes in, Woody to second.

Edit: and he does.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Wright's girlfriend musta broke up with him.

[Zvon]

Wright gives em a free pass.
Ya gotta make those plays David

[nymr83]

Fuck. they got another one.
Is Wright hurt? Announcers pointed out that he didn't reach down for that ball well, which is EXACTLY what i'd expect with a groin injury.

[nymr83]

I love submarine pitchers.

Errors kill, and that run was big.

[Zvon]

Nice double by Wright.
Wow-well played by Cameron.

[Gwreck]

C'mon Cliff. Let's get this one tied.

[nymr83]

Floyd strands the runner at 2nd, this hasn't been a pretty season for him so far.

ugh, he dribbles out.

[Zvon]

retire Piazza' number?

I dont think so.

[nymr83]

Hernandez very non-commital on # retirements, he doesnt want to get in more trouble!

Reyes nice stop but no throw.
