IGT 05/23, Mets at Rockies

[Frayed Knot]

Now we just gotta keep this thing tied.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeesh. Spillbourghs smoked that.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Top of the order. Do it now.

[Frayed Knot]

I was going to say I'd prefer the middle IFers back at DP-depth there. It's risky, but so is in all around.



Now we've got Heilman, Wise & Pedro to carry us through extras.

[Gwreck]

Can't really get on Wagner too much, it was their best hitter in a hitter's park and only 1 run, his first of the year.

I would consider putting him back out there if we take the lead in the 10th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah, you just knew though that appointing himself chief loudmouth would result in an untimely comeuppance.

Meantime, awesome job by Reyes on a poorly struck ball.

[Guest AG/DC]

Wow.

Nothing about that hit says double.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh for fuck sakes

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Jeezus...

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's countersue Torreabla for being a dick

Maybe Casanova could pitch. We have three catchers. And one outfielder. You know you're going bad when you're concerned about a Marlon Anderson injury.

[Gwreck]

I'm still scratching my head as to why we recalled a catcher when an outfielder went on the DL.

Let's fucking hope Pagan is good to come off the DL when he's eligible (I think that's 5/28 or 5/29).

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Without a catcher you're going to have a lot of passed balls.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Why the Mets and Rockies can;t win.

Apparently no need as he made up for his dickage by making the 3rd out of the inning at 3rd base.

[batmagadanleadoff]

What did Reyes do on the basepaths last inning? I missed that play.

[Guest AG/DC]

Picked off. I didn't understand the move.

[Guest AG/DC]

OK, Delgado. Don't get picked.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

When was the last time The Schneid had a hit?

[Gwreck]

About 4 or 5 games ago.

Does Beltran actually get better defensively in extra innings or does it just seem that way?

[Gwreck]

If Reyes gets ejected there, you obviously put Tatis at short.

But then do you put Schneider in left or go with Johan?

[Guest Mendoza Line]

I was thinking Wright to short, Tatis to third, Castro to LF.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I think Church coulda stayed in the game, no?

[Gwreck]

Didn't think of that.

I can assure you that under no circumstances whatsoever would I want Ramon Castro "roaming" in the spacious Coors Field outfield.

[Guest AG/DC]

Buckholz gets through three on only 31 pitches.

[Guest AG/DC]

Dive for that shit, Castillo.

[Guest AG/DC]

Give him a pitch to bunt, Aaron.

[Gwreck]

Crapulence.

Good try by Heilman but walking the leadoff batter = stooopid, particularly in extra innings.

[Guest AG/DC]

Heilman failed.

But that's a team loss.

Zephs are at home, so the Mets better move fast to get somebody on a plane.

[Guest Mendoza Line]

Leadoff hitter got on via the cheapie seeing eye hit that Castillo couldn't pick up. Really not a bad effort by Heilman - only clean hit was Holliday's, and he's liable to do that to anyone (see Wagner, Billy).
