Makeup Game IGT; Mets - Pirates. 8/11

[Gwreck]

Misuse has got to play a factor too.

With a 4 run lead, why would we use Smith if we were going to pull him at the first sign of trouble? Wouldn't it have been more prudent to use Kunz for a full inning?

Boy, did we luck out with that brainlock move.

[nymr83]

delgado intentionally walked, its Tatis time!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Wright is doing his damnedest to get us some insurance.

[Guest AG/DC]

It's not the bullpen. This happened when I attended a meeting. My bad.

[Guest AG/DC]

Oh, and Gameday says this guy's strike zone is kooky.

Yeah, why did McLouth sacrifice?

Make 'em pay Tatty

You gotta get an iPhone or something that allows you to follow along during the meeting.

Gamecast still showing Tatis as a Dodger. Is it that hard to get a semi-recent shot?

[HahnSolo]

Runner on 2nd, nobody out, and your 4, 5, and 6 hitters coming up. Sadly, I'm not surprised we didn't score.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Seems like Sanchez has been hitting batters left and right lately.

But he gets out of the inning, so I tip my cap.

[Gwreck]

Yeah, but didn't hurt us here.

Beer for Duaner once we win.

[seawolf17]

They said yesterday on the broadcast that the Mets have hit more batters than any team in the league.

[HahnSolo]

Beyond the hiccup of the 3-2 HBP, Sanchez throws a pretty strong 1 1/3 innings.

[Frayed Knot]

At least Duaner was a good boy today.

Heilman got the day off yesterday so I assume it'll be him for the 9th.
Be nice to get him a bigger lead.

[Guest holychicken]

Whoa, what? Did our BP just pitch an inning without giving up a run? INCREDIBLE! Call Elias! This has GOT to be some kind of record!

[Centerfield]

How was his velocity?

[Guest holychicken]

Yeah, at the game on Saturday, the sign said he reached 92. . .I didn't believe it.

[Guest AG/DC]

MAR-LON! MAR-LON! MAR-LON!

No! They send the AA kid up instead! What a total dis!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Anderson's not back, is he?

[Guest AG/DC]

No, but I forgot.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Tell ya what, I like that Murphy is patient. He's already got six walks, which might be more than Reyes had his entire first year.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Really coulda used a double there.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Top of the order for the Buccos. Let's bring this one home.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

One!

[Gwreck]

That's four straight fastballs Mientkiewicz has fouled off, Aaron. Time for the change.

[Guest attgig]

oh boy...

[TransMonk]

Trouble.

[HahnSolo]

3 hits and a walk for f***ing mientkiewicz.

[nymr83]

FUCKING HEILMAN

It's because I made fun of him in the 3 hole. Sorry.
