IGT, 8/2/2009, Diamondbacks at Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

I find this game to be larger than others.

Jon Garland (5-10, 4.42) v. Pelfrey (8-6)

Garland has put together a few good starts lately. Pelfrey has put together a few OK ones. With Haren vs. TBA tomorrow, there's a lot on Big Mike's shoulders. In fact, it seems a lot of these crossroads starts have been falling on those shoulders recently.

Let's go, Mets.

Sadly, the rain is larger today..little or no chance this will be played

[nymr83]

Any actual word on this game? are we looking at a late-afternoon start? a day-nighter tommorow?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Rain has been coming through here the last 24 hours --- violent but relenting. Rainbows follow.

Arizona	New York
Drew, S, SS Parra, G, CF Upton, J, RF Montero, C Tracy, C, 1B Roberts, R, 2B Romero, A, LF Ojeda, A, 3B Garland, P	Pagan, CF Castillo, L, 2B Wright, D, 3B Murphy, Dn, 1B Francoeur, RF Sullivan, LF Cora, SS Schneider, C Pelfrey, P

Aiming for 3:35 first pitch

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Pelfrey apparently spent the delay sharpening his sink-- he strikes out the side in the first.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Sharpened more than that --- hitting two batsmen in a row and plugging his catcher in the nuts to boot.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

But hey-- no hitter so far!

(Nice sig.)

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

2nd-baseman/prison bitch* Ryan Roberts makes a nice barehanded grab-and-toss to rob Muffy of an infield hit. Then Garland hits Frenchy in the ribs. The ball wasn't slippy for Roberts, dude.

Scoreless through two.

*That's what the neck tat means, right?

Gave up about an hour into the rain delay. It was pretty ugly out there (but looks much better now).

[Guest Kong76]

An hour is about how long I'd last these days.

(unless I had a group to hang out with at The Pines like one CPF meeting
last year)

Gee I wonder if Ryan Roberts is a douche in real life.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

It's a shame when 0-2 becomes a hit/walk, but Romero hit a decent 3-2 pitch (low and middle-away) for the RBI double.

Pelf gets Garland to close the door at one run... but REALLY not sure about walking Ojeda to clear the pitcher.

All that striking out is proving labor-intensive-- Pelf's at 81 pitches through four.

[Gwreck]

Seems to me that Augie had several big hits against us in '07 or '08 but I agree about the strategy. 81 pitches in 4 innings is really not very good from Pelfrey, results (only 1 run) notwithstanding.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

THAT was no K.

[Gwreck]

107 pitches to get through 3 good innings and two crappy ones. Somehow I am left wanting more from our "#2" starter.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Let's counter-attack.
Francoeur
Cory
Cora

[Guest Edgy DC]

That. I'm talking about that.

[Gwreck]

Plate discipline! He takes 4 pitches before the KABOOM. Nice, Jeff.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Also talking about that.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Frenched.

[nymr83]

triple!!

get him in!!

[nymr83]

cut Cora if he doesnt make contact here.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Wet and wild triple from Hotline.

[nymr83]

HR, 3B, 2B, the next guy should single...
