IGT 8/19/2011: MIL @ NYM -- Win One for the Monks

[G-Fafif]

Viva Los Metsies while the TransMonks tie the knot.

Ron Roenicke's worst nightmare TK, though I think it's playing on the road.

[ashie62]

Pelfrey!

[Guest Edgy DC]

Dont' forget to get your squeezes in.

[Ceetar]

" join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son!" (me with Eli, my 5 year old). Good morning all. http://t.co/HaSO9Mn

Although when I asked him R.A. said his lightsaber would be green. imposteR!

[metirish]

Dickey has gone all in on Twitter it seems.

[Guest Edgy DC]

He's also sabered a chunk out of his wallboard.

Ron Roenicke's nightmare, indeed: No Bay.

[Guest Edgy DC]

You can see Collins, stacking the lineup with lefties, has done his homework on Marcum's splits:

vs RHB: .182 / .228 / .312 // .539
vs LHB: .275 / .331 / .425 // .756

Lucas Duda, we look to you.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We beat Marcum first time around by waiting him out and taking walks as I recall.

[metirish]

Bay ought to be ashamed, open a Twitter account you prick.

[Guest Edgy DC]

More or less. We never broke through against him, but the walks upped his pitch count, and Roeneke is as crazy as the rest of them, so he pulled his man after 108 pitches and we got through to the pen.

[seawolf17]

Nah, that's a shelving unit.

And I'll defend the lightsaber too; he said HIS would be green, but that would be Darth's, which is red.

What bailed us out in that game was a perfect 7th from Beato, a perfect 8th from Izzy, and a perfect 9th from Frankie
Haven't had too many of those lately.


And speaking of Frankie, I've barely followed him since his departure although I do know the Brews have been mindful of a calf soreness as the result of him legging out an infield single a week ago today. It was only his 2nd AB in the majors (his first coming earlier this year before the trade) so he's now a career .500 hitter. He's only pitched once since (the very next day) so not since last Saturday has he seen any action.

As for his role (looking it up) he's pitched 14 times since the deal and has finished exactly one game (NO VEST FOR YOU!!).
All of his other appearances have come in the 8th inning for one inning each time except for a single 1/3 of an inning outing (the one where he got the hit).
So to this point it's 14 games; 13.1 IP, 3 ER on 11 hits, 5 BBs & 18 Ks for a record of 3 Wins - 0 Losses - 0 Saves, plus a handful of (who gives a shit) Holds

[ashie62]

Somehow I picture R.A. as being the Star Wars Kid.

[Guest themetfairy]

I will not be surprised if there is a rain delay before this game....

[ashie62]

Pouring rain, thunder, lightning here.

[Guest themetfairy]

Yup - Rain delay!

[ashie62]

With this Mets lineup and pitching matchup pray for rain.

[Guest Edgy DC]

No way. Perfect lineup for this matchup. Already had a day without Metsball. Let's play!

[ashie62]

They'll play..it'll take awhile.

Baxter and Pridie in the OF together?

Postponing it isn't going to make things better.

oh stfu.

Rained really really hard here but its letting up now.

[ashie62]

Quarter to 10..any updates?

[Guest themetfairy]

The game has started.

And we're behind already....

[ashie62]

1-0 top 2 unearned run..error Wright.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Da-doo-da-da chasing the changeup away.

[metirish]

So tired of Pelfrey and it has nothing to do with the late start.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pelf.

A little unlucky, then gets what he deserves.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Our righthanders are the only ones able to reach against this guy.
