Mets @ Rockies IGT 4-14

[Guest Edgy DC]

OK, on to the bottom of the ninth.

This is still going to be real tough to pull out.

And if I know Jerry, he's going to hold Rodriguez out of the game unless the Mets get the lead.

[Guest attgig]

and the pitcher is.....

igarashi...

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Thankfully, Castillo refused to follow the script and brought Matthews home with the tying run.

[TransMonk]

No walk offs, please.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

'Yota hitting 95 on the gun hisself, twice. Gassy.

[Guest attgig]

WHEW!!!!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Tulo looks very tempted to complain to the umps about their calling the out.

[Guest attgig]

Lovin the gas.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

What? You mean this isn't the IGT? How embarrassing. This is what happens when you blow off most of spring training and take a break from posting.

I guess I need to post on the Bisons board for a while until I find my game again.

[nymr83]

Igarashi!

what bullpen problem?

[TransMonk]

Free baseball!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

All hail Swallows Man

[Guest Edgy DC]

Actually, "Gas" is a good nickname for him.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Stewart plays defense like its a foreign language he doesn't speak.

[Guest attgig]

wow. that was closer to being out than tulo's fly...and on a broken bat....

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tell me Jacobs ran hard. P'ease.

[nymr83]

he walked/jogged to first. he wasnt making third anyway, but it would be nice to see some effort.

[Guest attgig]

pinch run in the middle of an at bat????

eh?

[Guest attgig]

hit weakly enough for a play only at 1st... let's see what cora can do...

[nymr83]

why is tatis wasted as a pinch runner there? use oliver perez instead of wasting your last hitter! (blanco doesnt count and cora is now batting)
edit- or run with Cora and hit with Tatis, either way dumb move by jerry

[Guest Edgy DC]

Well, they probably also look at him as a defensive improvement.

[Guest attgig]

geez. had to waste tatis so that now, there's a pitching change... keeping me up later in the night.

[ashie62]

Francisco up in the pen. I hoping he doesn't impersonate Armando Benitez

[nymr83]

yeah i didnt fully explain myself there, you can use tatis to pinch-hit next instead of Cora, and then leave tatis in the game with the pitcher going to the pinch-runner's spot (i'd use perez to save cora on the bench, but using cora as the PR is fine)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Let's Go Cora

[Frayed Knot]

And I wouldn't want to depend on a pitcher out there as my go-ahead run - especially Ollie

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

shitfuck

You'd rather rely on Cora to hit over Tatis?

[Gwreck]

Maine is also a fine choice as a pinch runner. Using Tatis there was a poor choice.

Jacobs loafed it all the way, and turned it on a little bit to ensure he made second. Totally unacceptable, even if chances of a triple were pretty slim.

[Guest attgig]

the more retarded thing is manuel waiting until after an intentional walk, and then 4 more pitches to barajas before he actually makes a switch to tatis. switch him immediately, or don't do it at all...

was he taking a dump during that time that he couldn't make the switch?
