8/30 - Sat night IGT - 8/30

Big K ends it, but they scare me.

[Frayed Knot]

There would have been a whole lot less drama in that inning - not to mention two fewer pitchers used - if Pelfrey had gotten the call on that 2-2 pitch to Hanley.

F U Duaner

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well there you go.

We really have to be thinking about bullpeners with the best chance of helping the team win over the next few weeks.

Problem is, none of them are on this team.


At least Pedro F & Duaner continue the tradition of not getting the first batter out.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Jacobs kills us time and again.

Would have liked to see them bring up Al Reyes so we can at least use him in the post-season should we get there. I just can't see Sanchez helping us.

[Guest KC]

Stoked!

Well Duaner got HIS first batter out, just not the first one of this inning.

My point, I guess, is that I'm having more and more trouble figuring out how Sanchez is at all capable of helping a bullclub that has to win from here on out, much less be of any use in the playoffs.

If Al Reyes/Rincon need a promotion before 9/1 to be eligible than Sanchez has to be odd man out, doesn't he?

Next year we can find lightning in some other bottle.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yeah I had the sound down earlier. What was the deal with Murph's caught stealing? Looked like a dumb idea.

he's not.

is his velocity still down as it has been lately?

the bullpen has sucked ass again, can the offense pick them up? Murphy is on...

[Fman99]

Let's Go Mets!

(I hate you, Duaner.)

[Frayed Knot]

The guess is that it was a missed H-&-R (by either the batter or runner).
Seemed dumb to steal w/1 out and the pitcher on deck.



If Jerry was thinking about Lindstrom here as soon as he sent up the RH PH it was probably a smart move using the fastball hitting Easley over the off-speed hitting Tatis.

[Fman99]

Easley and Reyes fly out.

Heilman up to pitch to the top of the order here in the 9th. I have nervous.

[Frayed Knot]

Bullpen battles suck when you're on the road ... and when your bullpen sucks.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

The bullpen is killing this team. I don't have faith in the reliability of anyone out there right now.

[Guest KC]

I know everyone loves to blame the pen, but this team's offense takes
way too many four, five, six, inning snoozes.

Heilman: 0 runs, 3 hits & 18 Ks in 12 innings this year agin Florida

In danger now. Though tuff ball 4 call.

[Frayed Knot]

That call at 3rd could have gone either way.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Here we go again with the Rogers Gambit.

[nymr83]

i'd have pitched to Jacobs who strikes out a TON

[Fman99]

Weak.

[Frayed Knot]

Jeez, at least make them get a hit to win the game!!

of course that doesnt matter when you're just gonna walk the next guy anyway, throw a fucking strike

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Heilman wasn't throwing strikes.

[bmfc1]

F U Heilman, and F U Omar for giving us this bullpen.

[Fman99]

I think the Rogers strategy sucks ass.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We don't have the talent to pull it off I guess.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Brutal. Absolutely brutal.
