IGT 24 August Mets v. Fish

[Guest Edgy DC]

I'm not as impressed as Darling is with Sanches. I think he's looking like a lesser Josh Johnson.

[bmfc1]

How long do you think David to lift his eyebrows, say the line, and then take a step, and say another line? An hour? Hours?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tejada hiccuping costs the Mets a DP.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two-out blues.

[Guest Kong76]

Ramirez 'not' picked off at first ... it always comes back when
the umps blow a call ...

[Guest themetfairy]

Fuckshit!

[Zvon]

ugh

[Frayed Knot]

Hanley should have been out twice -- first time on Tejada's hesitation and then again on the phantom pick-off.

If EITHER of those happens then the 3R HR doesn't.

yup

[Frayed Knot]

There's been some bad calls against Ike off the outside corner. But he's got to protect against that.[/quote:2hq3xlvu]

His first strikeout was a legit strike 3. He got hosed on his second K.
Of course hitting the ball out of the IF every once in a while might help things a bit and not leave things up to Mr. Blue.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Swapping out Tejada an inning too late.

Gameday and my eyeballs say that all three strikes the first time were outside, but the first two moreso.

The booth also comments that he'd be better off not shaking
his head and with body language ... he is a rook ... our rook
o' the year.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Eh. Niese is having a better rookie season.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Gary Cohen: "If Parnell is going to get a chance to close, he has to first prove he can be an effective pitcher in the eighth, because he's had a chance to do that and he hasn't thrived."

Edgy DC: "He has so shown hee can be an effective pitcher in the eighth. He just hasn't shown he can do it night after night after night."

[Guest attgig]

this is pretty depressing... anyone else feel deflated?

[Guest attgig]

everything that could've gone right went right, until the 7th...

[Zvon]

I did catch the Marlins third earlier tonight and:
1)Frenchy in right did keep Ramirez from trying to score (but he scored on the sac right after)
2)On Frenchys throw home (the one where Hanley held) did anyone else think Thole had Morrison moving up to 2nd? I thought if he did not hesitate and fired to 2nd Morrison was a dead duck.
3) Ike closed that inning looking at a called strike that was, imo, a strike

I wish I could say I didn't.
We need a comeback pickMeUp.

[Zvon]

YEA ANGEL!
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

let it start NOW....

[Guest attgig]

YEAH!!!!! TIED UP.

[Zvon]

YEAA!

Clutch 2 strike single by Beltran.
Big.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Two-out rallies. There's a thought.

[Frayed Knot]

If they go ahead here I want to see Parnell still in there.
Marlins have a RH-heavy lineup and there's no point - other than having a designated closer - to switch up.



oe: Oh well, I wanna see him still in there anyway.

[Guest Edgy DC]

By the way... stick with Parnell next inning until/unless he gets in trouble. Just a McThought.

FK beats me to the punch.

[Zvon]

Ughh. Tuff pitch to take but I don't know if anyone could have done anything with that one.
You see David smile?
He was like: aww shit he got me good.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Hisanori Takahashi takes the mound.

[Guest Kong76]

Eh. Niese is having a better rookie season.[/quote:3pnd0cjh]

Feh, they ain't giving it to a Mets pitcher. The Mets could use
crazy Ike September. If they can't ... I sure could.

[Zvon]

Shit. I also thought we shud have had Parnell for 2.
But its Tak for the 9th.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

They're not giving it to Ike either.

Funny rally, that one-- Pagan only got the double there because they were playing "no-doubles."
