I wasn't meaning tonight; I meant the bullpen in general for the last few weeks

On ESPN, Sutcliffe is explaining that the Mets should have known every pitcher that the Chicago pitcher was throwing because of the way the catcher was setting up and that if the Mets couldn't figure it out, "shame on them." Anything about this on SNY?

[Elster88]

I guess if your name is Cedeno you have to be an asshole and dive into first.

[HahnSolo]

Some more Schaefer points for Ramon on that play.

Sutcliffe is a dumbass. Someone put something in his mouth, my zipper's stuck.

[Guest mario25]

Good one about Cedeno

Indeed he is--I thought that he was going to start sobbing when the Mets tied it. But the catcher tipping the pitches was true.

No.

I also don't put a lot of stock into what Surcliffe says.

[Elster88]

I wasn't paying attention, was it really that blatant? Of course if some Met did peek I'm sure he'd call it bush league.

[HahnSolo]

1,2,3 for Luis

[Zvon]

Nice inning Mr Ayala

[bmfc1]

Elster88: If the catcher slid to one side or the other, it was a fastball. If he dropped down, it was a breaking ball.

[HahnSolo]

John Maine up in the pen!!!!

[Elster88]

Didn't Howry pitch in the eighties?

[Theoldmole]

Think we'll see Maine?

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

These are the three guys I want up in this situation.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'm not a fan of Sutcliffe's announcing, but in this instance he was right. The Cubs catcher set up differently for a fastball than he did for a breaking ball every single pitch that inning. Jose could likely pick that up out of the corner of his eye or Beltran could likely signal in from second.

Signal stealing is a part of baseball. We did it in high school and in college the coach had a system of signals for us to use.

[Guest mario25]

No were gonna win it here

Hope not. It's Wright's turn to answer back in the MVP battle.

[apmorris]

[Theoldmole]

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

MURPHY!!!!!!

I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!

[Zvon]

Im no fan of Suttcliff but he was right and on target there.
And someone on the Mets should have picked up on that, though its possible that Sutts perspective is what helped him observe that.
For all we know maybe someone did.


MURPH 4 PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!

[Guest mario25]

MURPHY....

[nymr83]

LEADOFF TRIPLE FOR DANIEL MURPHY!!!

strand him there and i'm done watching. for the year.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Leadoff triple for Murphy. I swear, I thought he was going to run out of gas midway between second and third.

[Guest themetfairy]

Get the rookie home guys!
