IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

[Guest Edgy DC]

Beato here?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Wayne is a little suprised Hu isn't in for Murphy here. I'll side with Collins and restraint on defensive sub front.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Is this the first Esmerling the Mets have ever faced? I'm going to guess yeah.

[Guest Edgy DC]

2-3-4 hitters coming up. The first and third batters are lefties.

Stick with Beato? Switch to Byrdak? Run to Isringhausen? Fly to Rodriguez?

[Guest Edgy DC]

Izzy. Hang in there.

[Guest Edgy DC]

I figure if you don't go to a lefty, you should stick with the the Human Beatobox.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Montero. Tough call.

[Gwreck]

Nice job by Isringhausen.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Tough call. You don't want to put the go-ahead on base, but you don't want to pitch to that guy. I guess they let Isringhausen choose.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Eh, I woulda stuck with Hairston. You need to keep some reserves in reserve.

[Gwreck]

Excellent: insurance runs. NOW you can remove Murphy for defense.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Nope. Murphy stays.

[ashie62]

Hang in there Krod.

[Frayed Knot]

I kind of hope the ump said to Roberts; "take that stupid tattoo off your neck and maybe you'd get better calls"





The D'Backs definitely brought their bloop bats today. What's that, about four of them now?

They have given Murphy the big boys jock.

[Frayed Knot]

Did I say four? I meant five.

[ashie62]

Getting nervous.

Frankie winds up K-ing the sides in amongst the nerve-racking bloops and SB

Small but plugged-in crowd today. More sustained spontaneous LGM chants than I can remember hearing at a Citi game. Even the climate was temperate-- 60ish with light breezes-- after the rain stopped.

All in all, a nice afternoon, after the slop.

Promenade Club: When nowhere else will let you in. Should be its slogan. Waited out the rain delay at what's basically the Braniff Lounge, but it was perfectly fine. Guess it would rain until the dogs went home, but skies parted and it was a lovely enough day at Citi Field. Sat way out in right field, 403, accompanied by about twenty twentysomethings enjoying somebody's birthday which included not a flower cake but a flask of vodka. It was passed around enough so its impace on any one celebrant was diluted. Delighted in shouting at Enright that he's a MEDIOCRITY! even though my lingering rasp made me a mediocre heckler.

I would've left Beato in for the eighth, but who's complaining? Kid's outstanding.

Also fun? Congratulating Enright on his successful holding of Reyes at first (he threw over roughly 40 times) after JoseX4 made it to third on Wright's single, then chanting "B-P, B-P, B-P" at the Barry in the third.

(I may have had a beer or two during the rain delay.)

We were in RF, field-level, just a couple of rows back from the ballboy (hooray for depressed prices on the 'Hub!). We could see the downward bite on the kid's offspeed stuff from where we sat. Good God, he's good.

Having now sampled all of the clubs Citi Field has to offer, excepting the actual sit down and eat portions, I can say with some certainty. "eh".

[Guest Edgy DC]

Yeah, here's another vote for leaving in the Beato Farmer. Im all for using Beato and Izzy on alternated goes, if it can be effected.
