IGT 10/05, Dodgers at Mets (Game 2 NLDS)

[Guest Rotblatt]

Glavine looks pretty sharp early.

So does Kujo, though.

[Guest Hillbilly]

Tommy's looking good. Now let's get to this rook.

[metirish]

I'm loving this so far....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Is that Hershiser's number on Martin's back?

Kind of funny how the "respect the batter" thing plays out...That pitch was high and inside, called a strike on Reyes...and then Beltran gets one right down the middle, belt high & it's called a ball...

[Guest Rotblatt]

That pitch was two or three inches off the plate.

Bullshit.

[Guest vtmet]

wright just got ripped off with that called strike 3 as well...inside by about 6 inches...

[Guest cooby]

I have not started watching yet (Survivor night for Mr. cooby) so when I started reading through this and saw this...

]Things we can expect to hear tonight from Buck and McCarver...

my skin started to crawl

until I saw this...

]Of course they are not even calling the game....I'm such an eegit.

Whew

You see that call 3rd strike on Wright?
Cripes--this plate ump-----he better be just as awful for Tommy-G.

[Guest Hillbilly]

If Glavine starts throwing high strikes; we're in trouble.

[Guest Hillbilly]

A 3-2 breaking ball. This kid has balls.

[metirish]

Damn he looks freaking good...

[Guest vtmet]

kind of funny...you stack the lineup with righties against the lefties, yet the only 2 good at bats were by the lefties...

[Willets Point]

Trade for Kuo NOW!!!!

If Glavines zone can be extended to outside the black on the corners it would be like watching Tommy pitch in his prime.

I like that last half---makin this Kuo kid throw a good number of pitches.

[metirish]

They just showed Ron darling in the crowd,that guy that was talking to him had to be his brother...he's the spit of Ron.

Dodgers, Yanks, Mariners, ChiSox have all had success with players from Taiwan, Japan, China and/or Korea...and we wound up with Kaz, Kuo, Shinjo, etc...

[Guest Hillbilly]

Shinjo was better than expected, so was Yoshii.

MLB Gamecast is about 30 seconds ahead of MLB Radio.

Are you not watching on TV?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm Chavez.

I rock.

[Willets Point]

No can do. I'm going to slip out to a local public house after the next half-inning.

You only wish you were Chavez.

[Willets Point]

Mwahaha...the rookie's nervous!

but the point of what I was getting at, the guys that we scouted and signed were either marginally good, or a disappointment...these other teams have come up with guys that have made a difference...look at the Kaz/Iguchi comparison, Kaz was much higher rated than Iguchi...yet Kaz did little positive, Iguchi's been solid 2 years in a row...

[Guest Hillbilly]

got some small ball going now.

[Willets Point]

Anything that gets a run home right now will make me happy.

[Guest Hillbilly]

There it is. A small ball run! 1-0 good guys!

[metirish]

Great to see John Franco taking his seat in the crowd....
