Free pass for Castillo.

Beltran would've tagged anyway but Church did get the free base on the drop.

[Fman99]

Santana flies out. Six men LOB, 0 for Monday with RISP.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Dang dang.

[TransMonk]

3 hits, 3 walks and an error yet no runs after 4 innings.

Grrr.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The carnage will come.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Jerry was saying he doesn't want Santana throwing a no-hitter.

He wants to be able to remove him after 6 or so with a five-run lead and a one-hitter going.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Well there's your 1 hitter.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Good! Now let's get the five runs.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

And in case you forgot
I'm the KING OF ROCK

[Guest Edgy DC]

No more lineouts to Cousin Brucie. I expect all further lineouts to slice between the raindrops to the far reaches of the Great American.

Far reaches!

[A Boy Named Seo]

Hey, hey, Danny Murphy!

[metirish]

Daniel Murphy with the Mets first home run of this season....

[TransMonk]

KABOOM!!!

Murphy is the bomb!

[Zvon]

[Guest themetfairy]

Nice Ka Boom for the kid!

[seawolf17]

I love that Murphy and Church are both like "eff you, Sheffield" today, in the field and at the plate.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Muuuurph!

So, so difficult not to react.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Daniel.

The Prophet!
Dandy-Lion!
Dan-YELL!

Whatever!

Valadius is right. He is better at this shit.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I got a phone call, and I knew I was gonna miss something.

Murphy! I'll bet nobody had that prediction.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

I think he's going to be a stud this year!

[Zvon]

Hahaha, Reds look like the '62 Mets out there.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Horrid D. Mets have 2 on for Beltran. Lets give Johan some runs this year, boys.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Razor Shines = aggressive

[A Boy Named Seo]

Shit baserunning by Wright.

[Zvon]

Nice smart slide by Wright. After the bobble he had to try.

He almost made it.
If Wright was running hard and cutting a turn earlier I think he would have been safe with that same slide.

[Zvon]

replay from above shows he was cutting the turn.
he just hesitated for a minute there.

[Zvon]

.....not literally a whole minute.


That would be silly

[A Boy Named Seo]

Yah, I think he smartly hesitated initially to make sure it wasn't caught, but then didn't seem to bust it all the way and looked like he was sure he'd be held at third, but Razor had other plans.

Really should've put another run or two up.

Like JCL says, aggressive.
And I like it.
Players better be on their toes on the way to third.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Sandy Alomar was aggressive, too.
