Mets @ Fish - 7/29 IGT

[Frayed Knot]

Ollie Perez vs Scott Olsen

BP chimes in on Olsen:
Tonight's starter for the Marlins has passed Perez heading in the opposite direction. Olsen had a 2.40 RA after his first seven starts of the season, thanks primarily to a .187 batting average against. But in his 14 starts since, Olsen's RA is 6.28, as opponents have hit .282 against him over 81 2/3 innings ... Olsen is simply allowing too many balls in play this season to be a front-of-the-rotation starter, especially since he pitches in front of a sub-par Marlins defense: his 4.6 K/9 is the fifth-lowest amongst NL qualifiers.

They didn't mention that he's also an ass.

...and Reyes gets nailed trying to stretch a double.

A perfectly reasonable attempt - took a good throw to get him. Costs the good guys a run as Evans knocks one off the wall to pretty much the same spot.

[Guest themetfairy]

It wasn't reasonable. With nobody out, he should have stayed at second.

I would rather Keith not say "Metsies".

[Guest themetfairy]

1-1 after 1.

Dont' listen to him, Keith. This is America. You be as gay as you want.

Hell, this is Miami. Fly that flag high.

Word on Maine's MRI - A mild strain of the rotator cuff.

[Guest themetfairy]

Olsen is sweating to a degree that I've never seen from a professional athlete. It's literally pouring off of him!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Coke.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That's nice to see, two-out RBI single

[Guest themetfairy]

The soft drink or the illegal drug?

Beltran's 2-out single gives the Mets a 2-1 lead in the 6th.

[Guest themetfairy]

The Mets fail to capitalize on having the bases loaded and settle for the 2-1 lead.

What happened to Jerry's tack on the runs policy?

I gotta think he's soaking his hat in cool water between innings.

[Guest AG/DC]

This pitching staff looks like it came off of a Scandinavian team or at least a 1920 Minneapolis Miller staff:

Olsen
Lindstrom
Gregg
Hendrickson
Johnson

Plus, you get a slavophonic name like Volstad and a Teutonic name like Waechler.

[Guest holychicken]

Ugh, bullpen (Heilman) comes in and walks the 8 hitter to start. Great.

[Frayed Knot]

NOt that Aaron doesn't deserve a bag of shit for walking two of his first three hitters (particularly the first one) but DANG he isn't getting any calls!!

[Frayed Knot]

Nice recovery.

Just following it on my computer, so I can't see the pitches.

But he got out of it, so he is forgiven.

ka-friggin-BOOM

[Guest themetfairy]

Vamos Carlos!

Delgado's 2-run Ka-Boom gives the Mets a 4-1 lead in the 8th

[Fman99]

[Guest AG/DC]

Better get Tatis in the game so he can answer Delgado in the all-important PotM race.

It's always disconcerting to see that adorable baby's avatar with such a potty mouth

[Fman99]

Wow, I dig that Doogie Howser Old Spice commercial. Funny.

[Guest themetfairy]

I'm hearing a Let's Go Mets chant in Miami.

[Frayed Knot]

When Carlos get a pitch he ain't been missing 'em.

Fboy's language is much better than mine. But his avatar swears like a sailor.

[Fman99]

Hoo boy Heilman is dealin now.

[Guest AG/DC]

I had forgotten Heilman had a slider.
