IGT Phillies at Mets, 05/24/2006

[Gwreck]

Lieber's at 98 pitches and probably gets lifted if the Phils get a runner on.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Soler looks like a major leaguer.

[Guest martin]

i dont see any reason not to love soler. a little nerves early, fantastic since.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Hey that was nice - crowd gets behind him and he gets the K. Welcome to the big leauges.

[Gwreck]

6 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 4BB, 5 K, 102 pitches. Nice solid debut, welcome Alay Soler.

[Zvon]

NICE.
Soler gets us through the 6th.

As of now he has 5 Ks, had thrown 61 strikes and 41 balls.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Just sat down and read through the IGT. After an understandably shaky start, it sounds like Soler has settled down.

Nice to see that Beltran and Wright continue to swing hot bats. If Floyd can continue to build upon his last few games, the Mets will be that much more dangerous.

Keep the runs coming guys.

[TransMonk]

I like it, he seems to know how to pitch. Better outing than Lima/Gonzo/Maine ever gave.

I can see the light at the end of this SP tunnel if Soler can pitch like this and Hernandez rounds out the rotation.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Hit for Soler or go back to the well? Smart money says PHer.

[seawolf17]

Alay, Alay, AlayAlayAlay!

(Do they play soccer in Cuba? We should sing that chant when he pitches.)

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Leadoff hit for Gourd-o

[Guest Hillbilly]

Matsui on deck. Woody trying to lay one down.

[Guest martin]

soler looks much fatter than the photo i remember seeing here for so long. but i am not convinced being fat is not an advantage.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Weak - K instead of a sac.

Have you seen CC Sabiatha lately?

Apparently he lost 20 pounds between spring training and now.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Soler Power!

Lets go bullpen.

[Elster88]

Soler:

6 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 0 HR

[Zvon]

HaHaHaHa

Felicianos nasty curve makes Abreu look stupid.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I really do dislike Pat Burrell

[Zvon]

DAMN YOU BURRELL!

*Z shakes fist in air

[Gwreck]

Fuck Burrell. x33

[Guest Hillbilly]

No W for Soler. Do we hate Burrell or what?

[Zvon]

whoa-what a catch by Kaz.

Willie lookin smart by leaving him in the game at 2nd.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Blech

[Zvon]

Yea, shame Soler will get no win, but he did his job well.
Gave us some innings and kept us in the game.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Beltran has been our best hitter this year.

[Zvon]

come on Mr Wright.

1st and 3rd, 1 out.
