IGT, 4-8-09: Pelfrey v Volquez

[Fman99]

Let's get that run back here before we hand the ball to Frankie.

Looking now at tomorrow's game time it appears that I'll be purchasing the MLB Gameday Audio tomorrow.

Because that kind of douchiness only really works in a print media. Thankfully.

[Fman99]

On to the 9th. Go get em Frank.

[Guest Kong76]

Around 8 o'clock, I thought this would drag on 'til midnight.

How's that for a jinx as Frankie comes in to close it out?

[Theoldmole]

I hate leadoff walks.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Please to be not putting up the tying run, Frankie.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Doesn't seem like any of them are sharp tonight.

[Guest Kong76]

Leadoff walks score a lot.

[Fman99]

This is his style... he walks the tightrope. I will judge on the results and not the method.

[Theoldmole]

Does he ever check the runner?

[Fman99]

For a closer he throws a LOT of off speed pitches.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm learning a lot about Rodriguez tonight.

[Theoldmole]

Bad call on Delgado.

[Guest Edgy DC]

What?!

[Fman99]

Ugh. Boned by the umps on that one. Delgado called for stepping off the bag to throw to 3rd, replay looks like he stayed on.

Fuck.

[Theoldmole]

Umps channeling Marge Schott?

[seawolf17]

Bill Welke, Red.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Angel Hernandez, get out of Bill Welke's head.

S'okay; Frankie's channeling John Franco. So it's all good.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm strangely unconcerned.

[metirish]

This is a high wire act right now...I'm concerned...

[Guest Edgy DC]

If they left Green in, they could have Putz here to bail Rodriguez out.

[Gwreck]

Yeah, but in the second game of the season? You figure your horses are good this early.

I am also mostly unconcerned.

[seawolf17]

I wish Reyes and Castillo were a step back here. Keep it in the infield, fellas.

[Theoldmole]

One to go.

[Fman99]

Yeah baby. Big K there. Blew it by him.
