I would have more strongly considered bunting here.

[Edgy MD]

Howie sounds thrilled.

[Edgy MD]

Gloop.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Ah, fuck.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Eh, we still need a better bench threat than Baxy.

[metirish]

WTF was Tejada waiting for there on the o-1 pitch?

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Frozen a bit.

But damn if he isn't the most disciplined hitter on this team-- Dabidrye included-- by a lot.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I got no problem with Tejada working it. But Baxter. Baxter!!

Think Cedeno-Romo would have been a better matchup?

eh, prolly a better chance of a whiff. I would have sent up Rusty Staub there.

[metirish]

For Romo yeah....

[Frayed Knot]

Some interesting machinations there.
We have a spent bench heading to extras but more bull-penners left than do the Gints.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Wonder what Matt Franco is up to.

Frank Frank with a crappy start.

[Frayed Knot]

Frank-Frank gets Panda's aggressiveness to work against him.

And now the Posey double-switch comes back to bite Bochy

[Fman99]

Ugh. Pitching out on the steal and still not throwing the guy out? Hurtful.

[Fman99]

Well that sucked a big meaty cock.

[metirish]

Burned on the walk.....

[Guest themetfairy]

And with that pitch was born the Nouveau Mando Wars....

[bmfc1]

The 9th inning was a battle of over-managing. If the SFG hold on, Terry lost the battle by PH'ing Baxter, a rookie, for Cedeno, a veteran, when all you needed was a fly ball. If that's how little Terry thinks of Cedeno then Cedeno has no business being on the team.

[Fman99]

C'mon, Muffy.

[Fman99]

NICE. Let's tie this fucking thing up again, boys. Or more.

[Frayed Knot]

I wonder if Angel would have screwed up that play in CF allowing Muffy to take 2nd?

[Fman99]

NICE AGAIN. Two ducks on for Ike.

[Frayed Knot]

Time for Ike to break out of his funk.
Hasn't gotten a ball out of the IF all game IIRC

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Two great hits to start the 10th. YGB!!

Can't believe they have another lefty out there...

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

David!!

[Fman99]

PITCHING CHANGE = DRINK REFILL

[Edgy MD]

Wow, Ike up in the buntiest of situations must be murder on managers.

[Frayed Knot]

Bochy don't read no "Book" that's for sure.

I don't! I hadn't realized he was out but that was a great play.

Yeah drink refill. Red wine!

[Piggiestomatoes]

[metirish]

You know LaRussa is watching somewhere thinking he could have made a few more moves here that Collins and Bochy didn't make......yet
