IGT, 3/22, Carter Gets the Call

[Guest Edgy DC]

Chris Carter has a big chance to secure the roster spot he so craves, batting third ahead of big leaguers like Jeff Franoeur, Frank Catalanotto, and Fernando Tatis.

Another strong game from Russ Adams or Ruben Tejada could also be significant. REally, just about everybody scheduled to go today has something to paly for.

Carter got a hit in the first, but was left hangin'. Zimmerman hit a solo shot in the bottom half.

yankees/phillies on two channels, mets not on tv. fuck.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Willinghan added a homer in the second.

Down 2-0, the Mets grab one back in the third, with Pagan scoring Blanco (who had dubbled) with one o' them productive outs.

Carter now 2-2 and hitting .467.

Pelfrey can't keep the ball in the park. For his sake I hope the wind is blowing out.

lenno212 Pelfrey has allowed 3 HRs, 2 to Willingham, but the wind deserves a big assist. Willingham's 2nd was pop-up hit straight into jet stream.


that said, he does have to pitch in CBP and Yankee Stadium, so he should know how to handle pop-up homers.

Wouldn't you think SNY would carry every Mets spring game. There must be a money reason but I don't get it

[Ceetar]

SNY generally only does the home games.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

4 HRs now-- Zimmerman gets his matching set, and mercifully ends Pelfrey's day:

4 2/3 IP
7 H
6 R (5 earned)
1 BB
3 K

Jjurlerin' Jjank on in relief. 1 1/3 scoreless so far, 1 BB, 1 H, no K.

its baffling, why have your own network? they were showing "Jets Nation" and whatever the Nets equivalent is at 1:00 and 1:30, now they are showing "Mets Classics" instead of "Live Fucking Mets Game"

[Frayed Knot]

They can't be getting much in ad revenue for these games, so if it winds up costing them more to televise them than they could possibly hope to make back (particularly for mid-week/day/road games) I don't think their reluctance to show each game is baffling at all.

[bmfc1]

Carter with a double--his 3d hit of the game.

[ashie62]

Yes, it is a spring game but Mike Pelfrey is reminding me of Aaron Heilman on my personal frustration meter.
