IGT--Marlins @ Mets, 05/29/09

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Pagan is making a case for himself.

Willets, my friend Gordon pointed out that on Wednesday the Nats and Mets led off with the Christian and the Pagan.

[Guest Kong76]

Cohen brings up "catchers balk."

I've heard the term, don't recall it ever being called.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How hungry is Shef to whack this guy?

[Guest Kong76]

Not that I know exactly what a catcher's balk is.

[Guest Edgy DC]

There are like five people behind home plate doing that crazy lady's arm twirl thing.

Bases jammed with Metsies.
Yes, Metsies.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Sheff graciously allowing Wright to be the hero.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Surprised they're sticking wtih Calero.

[seawolf17]

Oh, David.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

(sigh)

C'mon Fernando, you live for the bases loaded situation.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Oops.

[seawolf17]

Hey, fellas? You can't hit that slider, and it's not a strike. Stop swinging at it. Thx.

shitfuck

Anyone else think that Sheff got the ole unintentional intensional walk , looked to me like he wanted no part of him and was wanting Wright instead.

Yes

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't go for Cohen's reasoning on why to use Murphy. You want the best matchup to win there. You're not trying to get the lefty out of the game.

[Guest Kong76]

I hate using the closer here after leaving the bases loaded.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rodriguez ooks good, but why is in the game with Parnell only having thrown six pitches and pitcher due up next inning?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Looked out to me.

The fear of being second-guessed for losing a game without using your closer. No logical strategic reason.

Yup. Martinez did a nice job taking the throw and getting the tag down, but Welke wouldn't buy it.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

He was out-- it's just that nobody knew it. (Sorta like the old "tree falls in the woods" bit, except if you had 7 cameras recording the unheard tree.)

Oh, and you're f*cking out, Jeremy.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

FWIW: Philly just blew their own bases-loaded, one-out situation in the 7th. (Two big differences: they're still up on Washington, 5-4, and they didn't bunt to get the one out.)

[Guest Kong76]

Well, here's Murphy ... no one on, one out.

Hurdle fired and replaced by interim Jim Tracey.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And there goes Murphy. Fartinez for the win?

(I take it this means it's Kitten time in the 10th.)

[Guest themetfairy]

Extra innings.

Turned out to be Charley Weaver for the block.

[Guest Kong76]

All those thinking a little before 9 how nice and quick this game should be
over raise your hands.

[Fman99]

Is that Putz' first 1-2-3 inning this year? I cannot recall another one.

Top of the order in the bottom of the 10th. LET'S GO METS!
