Maine @ Florida: IGT 5/15/2010

WTF. If that throw was on line, the catcher would have been able to take a nap. I know Maine was on deck but there was only one out.

[Zvon]

Hale was waving him home there, right?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Generally good at-bats, doesn't tend to swing at crap outside the zone, doesn't tend to miss strikes, fouls off a lot of pitches... Sanchez is a bit of a pain with the bat, no?

[Chad ochoseis]

I'm starting to warm to this idea of batting Reyes leadoff.

[Zvon]

There ya go Reyes.
I knew you could bunt.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

This team, they like to throw to the outfielders.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

No bunt with Castillo there (Reyes at second, no out)? F*cking shocker.

I'm not kidding. I'm really at a loss here.

[Zvon]

98-25 when Reyes scores 2 runs or more in a game?

That's an interesting wackystat.

Can't be wasting Jose here.
Get that run in guys.

I'd imagine those numbers look similar for almost every player in baseball. Odds are, if a guy's scoring twice, his team's doing a lot of scoring.

[Zvon]

3-3 Mets.
Yay!

[Zvon]

Why do I get this impression that Uggla's a real asshole?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Same reason I get that vibe off of Ross, prolly.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Good news: Maine's gotten it together after the first, painting the corners and getting swinging strikes on his fastball left and right.

Bad news: He's up to 78 pitches after 3.

[Guest Kong76]

I like the black and white cannon kaboom, Z.

[Zvon]

...because he doesn't play for the Met's would also have been an acceptable answer.

Don't wanna jinx anything but nice job getting out of that inning Mr Maine

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Hee.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

If you're picking a temp for your #3 hitter, you could do worse than Pagan, really. He's hitting the ball with authority nearly every time up, being a lot more selective than I remembered, and is one of the few Mets hitting better with RISP/men on.

[Zvon]

UGHHHHHH. Francoeur, if you ever had an easy throw em out that was it!
Eyecurumba.

Errors kill.

Cantu drives him in.

[Zvon]

... and is one of the few Mets hitting better with RISP/men on.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Whether there's a bat or a ball in his hand, French seems to play baseball like a "playmaker" safety or middle linebacker-- flying all over the place, trying to make something happen... even when there's nothing there.

That can't be a bad thing.
I think....

His throw to the plate was off a bit too..
I like Frenchy, I like his energy level.
Like Reyes tho, he must contain himself.

[Zvon]

Nice play by that asshole guy.
My asshole guy, not yours LWSF...



That don't sound right....

[Gwreck]

RHP reliever in. Gotta PH Carter here, no?

[Guest Edgy DC]

When you need a car
Truck or Van
Whoyagonnacall?
Mulrooney's!

[seawolf17]

I know they had that six-run eighth the other day, but I feel just like I did last year about this team. They're not coming back once they get down.

That's funny, Edge ... when I watch Marlins on tv feed and
that song gets in my head it can take awhile to get rid of it ...

No pinch-hittee, no double-switchee.

Francoeur is looking like he's Jerry's Guillermo Mota --- the guy he's going to stick with though the heavens may fall.

Two-out rally and it's 7-3.

[Zvon]

Sanchez is a Met killin hittin machine...

Of course he gets driven in, in proper fashion.

3-7
