IGT 4/27/2012 NYM @ COL: Continue Avenging 1993

[Edgy MD]

Hmmm. Ending Thole's day off to try to keep the rally going with two out.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

One more hit will get us back into this thing.

[Edgy MD]

And he singles, but that's sort of part of my point. He's a singles hitter and there's two out and nobody in scoring position.

But what they hey, let's keep it goin'.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And honestly, for a defensive specialist, Nickeas has kind of been a shitshow behind the plate.

Man alive, did Parnell, like, stare down Terry's nubile niece or something? What's up?

Some progress made, more needed

I wish we were allowed to hit 3R HRs too.

I think I saw where Rob Johnson hit the DL for the Buffs.

[Frayed Knot]

I think that was the first decent throw we've made tonight.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I think I may have underrated how terrible this Rockies team is at everything BUT smacking belt-high fastballs. (Coaching inclusive.)

[Edgy MD]

Hit #13 turned into an out based on some real hustle by Murphy.

Isn't that Murphy's M.O. in a nutshell? He sure stays with a play.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm not ordinarily a Code Red kinda guy, but... um... Fowler could probably use a punch in the balls from somebody.

[Edgy MD]

Time for Murphy to put an offensive mark of his own on this game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Awright Hairy, let's see what ya got.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Tuning in. Looks like a real pitchers' duel.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Everybody who had "Catcher's Interference On A Pitchout" on your Bingo card, congrats.

Is swinging at a pitchout-- essentially, TRYING to hit the catcher's hand-- dirty pool? Sure seems like it.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

whoops

[Edgy MD]

Scubble.

[Piggiestomatoes]

Welcome to hell, Bobby!

This, apparently

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

No really, we can still win this.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We punted with Schwinden to begin with. He's just not good enough.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I predict we score 10 runs in the 9th, the last 4 on a Ike Davis Grand Slammy

This was when I threw in the towel. That inning hurt my feelings.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wasn't watching at all, but I checked online in the middle of the fifth and the Mets had just scored four runs and taken a four-run lead. I toyed with the idea of watching for a little while, but opted not to. So I just missed the joy of seeing the Mets give up 11 runs in one inning.

That open rotation spot is going to be tricky, isn't it? Does Schwinden get another shot in five days? I'd rather see Schwinden than Batista, but I'd rather see Hefner than Schwinden. Are there any other viable options within the organization?

I blame Ben. For everything. The loss. Our dependence on foreign oil. My dog's weight. Everything.

Next in line should be Hefner. This should be obvious. He might be two starts into his Met career if they hadn't screwed up and called him up earlier to bail out the bullpen for a single game.

[Benjamin Grimm]

My guess is that they'll let Schwinden take his next turn and if that goes well he'll get a third start, and if not, he won't. But that's just a guess.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, tryouts need to go at least two games.

Thole 0.16
Baxter 0.19
Turner 0.41
Nieuwenhuis 0.45
Lutz 0.83
Parnell 1.18
Murphy 1.49
Schwinden 1.56
Acosta 3.73
