IGT, 8/2/2009, Diamondbacks at Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

="Edgy DC"]Let's counter-attack. Francoeur Cory Cora

Hardcore.

Sheff coming up, needs a flyball with 1 out to tie this game up.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Creepy Sun Baby misses you, Alex Cora, and wants you home.

[nymr83]

fucking liner right at someone

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Awwwww.... raspberries.

[nymr83]

We have a Pat Misch sighting!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Double-switched in, sorta.

Let's see. Sheff's a bit tender in the leg to start, yet, so let's just PH him... and leave him in to play LF on wet turf.

[Gwreck]

So...according to gameday, that play was scored 7-5-4, runner out at home. What happened?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Single to left, throw to the plate cut off by the thirdbaseman, who nailed the batter-runner at second.

[Gwreck]

Ok, thanks. Clearly just a gameday screwup.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I don't like the way the Mets have the thirdbaseman do infield cutoffs on the left side. He's got better things to do.

[Gwreck]

Guess this confirms Figueroa for tomorrow's start. I guess Misch goes but I wouldn't be sad if it it was Redding instead.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Through six-and-a-half. Perhaps seventh-inning stretching will help with the bat-swinging and such. Tomorrow's a tough one-- let's pick it up.



LET'S

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

GO

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

IN ORDER!

[Valadius]

I see Pat Misch finally worked his way into a game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So, that decision to take out Pagan and leave hobbly Sheff in left has cost roughly 1.5 runs. (Will estimate that it's about 50-50 Sullivan, if he's playing LF, gets to the single two innings ago fast enough to get or hold the runner at third.)

[Valadius]

Okay, I have to say it - what kind of a name is Fieldin Culbreth?

Apparently, MLB had to reach down to AAA Hobbiton for a vacation-cover ump.

[Gwreck]

He's a regular umpire and has been for years. He worked the World Series last year.

[Fman99]

Bleh, the bats went to sleep and didn't wake up again. Again.

Seven point five out in the WC, with many many teams in front. Don't think it's going to happen.
