IGT - Philthies @ Mets, 5/6/09

Jerry's going all out.

Do NOT take Santana out of this game. Gwreck, I'm assuming you're at the game. Go lock the bullpen door, and take Ryan Church's helmet away.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Feliz had no play on Tatis. The mental error was as bad as the physical, maybe worse.

Sheff needs to get the insurance home here

[seawolf17]

I love Delgado's little book. I want him to publish it when he retires.

i hope Church is a decopy to try and induce them to throw strikes to Shefield

Definitely worse. If you don't throw it, it's first and second for Omir Santos.

AND DAMMIT JERRY! DO NOT TAKE HIM OUT!

Ah, too late.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

They're pinch hitting

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'd like this a lot more if Church would double in two runs.

If he does this is a good move.
If he don't it's not.
lol.
I can say that so easily from here.

The problem with pinch-hitting for Santana and Park in those spots is that you've lost your pitcher (who was throwing well), not in exchange for a run, but in exchange for a 25% greater chance at a run (if you assume a .250 difference in BA between the pitcher you took out and the pinch hitter, which is being genrous when talking about Santana)

[Elster88]

Awful at-bat by Church. Durbin was all over the place against Tatis and Church goes up free swinging to get down in the count 0-2.

Once he had the two strikes it's harder to blame him for swinging at close pitches but at 2-2 he did foul off two more balls and swing and miss on a third.

[seawolf17]

To the eighth. I don't like it one bit, but we'll see.

[Guest Kong76]

My head would have exploded off my shoulders two dozen times if I was
Santana over his short Mets tenure.

[Zvon]

Santana had thrown 100 pitches on the nose?

We could have gotten another out of him, I think.

Ok, must have faith in the bullpen.
..must have faith in the bullpen.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wow, Feliciano in.

I gues Putz has the night off after working the first 24 games this season.

[seawolf17]

Wow, a lucky break as Rollins squibbles one right back to the mound.

[seawolf17]

Ryan Church says "Oh yeah, Pedro Feliz? I can make idiotic throws too."

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Fucking helicopter

[Guest Swan Swan H]

And a horrible break as Vic Dorino squirts one over Delgado's head and drops it on the line.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Nice play, Pedro. One more please.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Nice job by Feliciano on that play.

[seawolf17]

Gary: "In which case we might see Matt Stairs."
Me: "How could you miss him?"

[Fman99]

Ugh. Runner on 3rd. I have nervous.

[seawolf17]

Ryan Howard jumped out of his shoes trying to hit that curveball.

Why does that have to be a lucky break and not good pitching? Feliciano was fucking great that inning. Except maybe for the wild pitch.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Delgado came to the mound and said "If you throw him a fastball I'm going to fight with Gary Carter."

[Fman99]

Boo ya! Feliciano drinks Howard's milkshake.

[seawolf17]

YAAAAAAAAA!

Nice. I know the numbers say otherwise, but I just don't fear Ryan Howard.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Made him look stupid.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

NICE!!!!

I'm the first guy to dog Feliciano, but that was an outstanding job. Cap tipped.
