I-G-T 5/13/09 Get Away Afternoon Fun at Citi vs the Braves

[Centerfield]

Bennet vs. Beltran. I like it. Go Carlos!

[Benjamin Grimm]

And he starts us off with a single.

Hopefully Sheffield can end it before we have to see Wright strike out again.

[Fman99]

I have an idea, let's let the Braves version of Sean Green load em up again due to his incompetence. I am OK with this plan.

The relief of Pedro Feliciano shields Green from the hate.

As per Gamecast... dude is ALL over the place.

EDIT: Except for that last pitch and all.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Sheffield strikes out.

Now it's David's turn.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hit batsman. Thank you, Sean Green of the Braves.

[Fman99]

Wright doinked by a pitch and now it's 1st/2nd, one out for Fernando McMashalot.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Tatis has a chance to get much Schaefer.

[Fman99]

LOBs and DPs suck.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Or maybe not. GIDP.

[Guest Edgy DC]

The in-thread nickname coinage doesn't work.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Can't say we haven't had chances. Running out of pitchers, though.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Unless I'm missing someone, Takahashi is the last Mets reliever remaining.

The Braves' pen is probably pretty depleted too. Anyone know who they've got left?

[Gwreck]

Mike Gonzalez, their closer.

Gonzalez and starters.

Gonzalez is it. And he had a blown save shoved up his ass last night.

[Fman99]

It does if it's after the fact. Like this.

Yuniel is Spanish for "fuckpickle."

[Guest Edgy DC]

Mets pitchers owe Beltran a beer on that flight.

[Fman99]

Pedro settles in and gets it done. And on we go!

[Guest holychicken]

Feliciano?

[Guest Edgy DC]

I disagree with using Reed here, but he's hot.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nobody on. Let Feliciano hit.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Feliciano due up this inning. Hopefully, if he bats, it will be a clear sacrifice situation.

Is Delgado the last hitter left?

[Fman99]

He could go up there and "lean into one," a la Rudy in Bad News Bears.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Santos (forgot about him) hits for Feliciano.

It's all Takahashi the rest of the way.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I just want his arm still in the game.

Rudy's arm wasn't as helpful.

If I'm counting right, the Mets have yet to use only Delgado (possibly unavailable) and Takahashi in this game (plus Santana, Maine, Pelfrey, and Livan). i wouldnt have wasted Santos here (pinch-hit reed for the pitcher not for castro)

The Braves have yet to use Gonzalez, and their 4 other starting pitchers.

I'd have to think that the longer Gonzalez vs. Takahashi goes the more in the Mets' favor things are because Gonzalez is less able to pitch multiple innings effectively.

Yeah, really. Resources are rapidly dwindling. You have to make your moves very conservatively.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And that's it. Santos is out. On to the 12th inning.
