IGT--Mets @ Marlins, 08/27/09

[bmfc1]

METS:
Angel Pagan CF
Wilson Valdez SS
Daniel Murphy 1B
Jeff Francoeur RF
Cory Sullivan LF
Fernando Tatis 3B
Omir Santos C
Anderson Hernandez 2B
Tim Redding RHP (1-4, 6.10)

Wilson Valdez is hitting 2d.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Who are these people?

[metirish]

Sullivan made a great throw last night to get his man at 2nd base. Jerry has taken to calling his new five man rotation the fabulous five .

[Guest Swan Swan H]

And in the land of the handless the one-handed man bats cleanup.

[Guest sharpie]

Hard to imagine another team fielding a worse lineup.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My rooting interest for this team has been reduced to hoping they avoid 90 losses.

There was a wild pitch, Santos started heading home, but the ball bounced back more quickly than he expected, and he scrambled back to third base, but not in time. Mets now up 7-1. The Marlins are looking like a very bad team today.

Memo to Tim: Try a different pitch with the guy the next time you face him. Later

Redding has made it to the 7th! But Uggla leads of the inning with a long home run to left that's just fair.

MFS62 Aug 27 2009 01:16 PM

Redding had 80 pitches his last outing, and he's close to that number now. Later

Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:25 PM

Redding pulls up on the stick at 6 2/3. A smattering of applause as he exits with an ERA under six.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 01:26 PM

Redding's beard is a bit much.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 27 2009 01:29 PM

Tatis just hit the ball, on a fly, over the outfield wall. I find myself unfamiliar with such a phenomenon.

Edgy DC Aug 27 2009 01:31 PM

They have a name for those. I read about it once. What did he do? Is it like a foul and he has to keep batting?

Five pitchers in a 10-3 game that was 8-3 after 7. Jerry loves his match-ups. Or maybe he was just trying to get the bullpen some work.
