IGT 4/17/10 - Johan Begins The Turnaround

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It'd be a pity if some of the good stuff we've done in this series went unrewarded. Pretty super D, good enough pitching to win most nights.

[Fman99]

McCarver is such a hack, holy hell. Just shut up Timmy.

[metirish]

Miller will pick Pagan at first.

Holy shit.

Good call metirish.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

So Manuel double-switched in Cora, then sent up Matthews for a pathetic AB, and now Jacobs is in. I'd rather have bunted with Cora, even with one out, and given Reyes a shot, then if this goes much further the bench isn't incinerated.

[Frayed Knot]

Calling a pick-off of Pagan is what's known in the trade as "a no-brainer".

Right. Blanco is the only position player left.

[Frayed Knot]

Not only is Reyes not hitting well so far, but the few times he has gotten good wood [insert pun here] he's been hitting at'em balls.

[Frayed Knot]

Castillo still pantomiming that 'go to sleep' routine once he gets on 1st-base and I still don't know what it means.

[Guest Kong76]

LE .. er, nevermind

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I mean, we got the 3 and 4 hitters up with a fast runner on. What more can we do?

Ummm, make contact?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Yah, but it's not getting set up much betternthat.

F, catcher's interference

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Ugh, 2 out, nobody on to this in a flash. Oh, wait, it's the pitcher to hit...

DON'T FUCKING WALK HIM

[Guest Kong76]

Dum dee dum dum, bases will be jammed.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Three of 'em, like that.

[bigpurple:2ruj0mfo]SWEET![/bigpurple:2ruj0mfo]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Oh, Edgardo Alfonzo, almighty father of clutch hitting and holy high priest of grace under pressure, we pray to you tonight to win in inning 13.

RT @jessespector: The Mets committed catcher's interference twice last year. Both times, Ryan Ludwick was the batter. #nym

That tends to make one think that there's some element of intent on Mr. Ludwick's part.

[Frayed Knot]

In between innings earlier in the game I was watching bits of 'Bang the Drum Slowly' on Turner Classics-- mainly for the views of Shea circa 1973

[metirish]

I thought that would fall in from Pagan.

[Guest Kong76]

My wife left me, thankfully she left me with plenty of beer.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Gotta get tough here, turn 2

[Guest Edgy DC]

My wireless signal is shot. I can't get a radio feed, GameDay is cutting out on me. No TV. Dying.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Takahashi's about to walk two men on with 1 out

[Guest Kong76]

Nice comeback from that 3-0 count!
