Schaefer business

[Elster88]

I took away .5 from Castro for not blocking just ONE of the wild pitches from Santana. Tatis has 3 two out RBI.

[Gwreck]

Tatis and Castro both had 2 2-out RBI.

[Elster88]

Well done. I will adjust.

What about "as valuable" implies otherwise?

If he hadn't worked out of the jam, he wouldn't have gotten suds from me. But the one runner was stranded, and I gave both pitchers the same number of points for their scoreless innings.

If not, just tell me who the player of the game is and I'll stop voting. I wasn't trying to be a dick about it...not like if I gave him 6 points.

You're not being a dick. Some of us are just debating voting criteria.

It's all good. Please don't stop voting!

That was me, I guess. I gave Tats a big bonus for the 1st inning Icebreaker. I know there was already 1 run in, but his was a sexy 2-out drive that made Castro's sexiness possible. He also got credit for taking one for the team, singling to drive in the 4th run, and stealing a base.

If we were naming only a single POTG from the lineup it would be Tatis.

[Gwreck]

Fair enough. Really, I was just curious, if it was a win expectancy thing or some other formula for awarding the points.

The Mets PA announcer announced Tatis as the player of the game and I thought that was curious but the 3x on base I can see putting him over the top.

[seawolf17]

I gave Tatis an extra nudge point for the faux HBP, which led to the insurance run.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'd like to hear from those who valued Castro above Tatis.

[Guest AG/DC]

Castro had a walk, and he caught. I usually throw one point to the catchers for every 19 I throw the pitchers.

Four (count 'em!) four games will be closing tomorrow. All three weekend games against the Rockies in Denver, as well as Monday night's homestand opener against the Marlins at Shea:

• Schaefer POTG 5/23/08 - Rockies 6, Mets 5
  
• Schaefer POTG 5/24/08 - Mets 9, Rockies 2
  
• Schaefer POTG 05/25/08 Colorado 4, Mets 1
  
• Schaefer POTG 5/26/08 - Marlins 7, Mets 3

Oliver Perez as the co-leader on one of tonight's ballots?

Sounds like something I'd do since I'm an Oliver fanboi. But it wasn't me.

[Gwreck]

I know that in extra inning games the awarding of points can be tough, but Perez gets more points than one voter gave to Heilman, Schoeneweis and Wagner combined?

[Guest AG/DC]

Reyes is also consistently getting fewer points than Castillo. I'd like to hear about that.

[Gwreck]

Both were 2-5 with a homer and a walk; Castillo's 2-run homer might've given him a slight edge.

[Guest AG/DC]

One scored two runs, another had two RBI.

Reyes had six total bases to Castillo's five, a steal of third and big play from deep in the hole, throwing without having time to plant his foot.

Score last night was 7-6 not 6-5.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Voting for Wednesday night's 12-inning 7-6 (not 6-5) win over the Marlins will close over the weekend.

We've had good voter turnout for that game, but if you're among those who haven't voted, and still intend to, please try to vote today.

Someone vote already so we can hear what the big secret is!

[Willets Point]

I want to know what the secret is too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

It will be revealed tomorrow!

[Fman99]

(cough cough) cocktease (cough cough)

[Gwreck]

It's the end of the month, I imagine it will affect who is named player of the month. Or pitcher of the month.

[Benjamin Grimm]

For one who has lived but one lifetime, Gwreck is very wise.

Yes, a tie-breaker was needed for a coveted award. Willets' vote has tilted the balance.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Actually, I think my math was faulty. I just ran the current numbers through my magic spreadsheet, and it turns out that there wasn't, and isn't, a tie that needed to be broken.

Still, we had a very close race in May. Results will be announced tomorrow when the last two May games are tallied.

[Guest AG/DC]

I'm in with my swing vote.
