IGT 6/6/12 Mets @ Nationals Hefner v. Jackson Baywatch

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He's expendable because he's getting replaced by someone else. There's only 40 slots.

[Edgy MD]

(1) He's not being expended, he's being exposed. (2) He's being exposed because they need somebody else. (3) What he was then and and what he is now, as far as market value, isn't the same. (4) What he was exposed to then and and what he's being exposed to now, isn't the same, as far as risk.

again, why put him on? He clearly wasn't part of the 2012 plan.

[Edgy MD]

We're going in circles. He was an insurance policy.

The Mets have hundreds of players in their system. Most of them won't play for them. That doesn't indicate a lack of a plan.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This is ridiculous. He got on the roster the same way every 40-man player does, because he was one of the 40 best options at the time.

Now he's not.

No he wasn't. The season was 'over'. He didn't even play much, wasn't a part of the offseason plan, had virtually no chance to make the team this Spring. And they've been facing a roster crunch that entire time.

Fine, he was an insurance policy. For what exactly? Like you said, hundreds of players in the system. They resigned Val Pascucci. They could've signed anyone else for minor league minimum if Satin got claimed in the Rule 5 draft. Insurance guys that far down the depth chart shouldn't be on the 40 man.

Any of us actually there tonight? Darren from the 7 Line just tweeted a photo of himself saying he'll be at the game with a "bag of free stuff." Someone find him and score me a KIRK shirt.

[ashie62]

This is not the best lineup of able Mets that could have been picked tonight.

[Zvon]

Harper may only be 19 but he sure knows how to make a running catch look like a diving catch.

[Zvon]

talk about a boot.

Error all the way Gary.

yeah ,geeze, relax with the Harper praise. If you want to talk him up when it's out of town scoreboard stuff, fine, but lay off while we're playing him.

[Zvon]

GAH!

[Zvon]

K Hef, settle down. We'll get ya 3 asap

You mean Pete Rose right?, ok Keith I get it , Harper runs out every ball(until he doesn't)

Yea, opposing homers are now to be called GAH!Booms.

YAY, Kirk puts us on the board with an RBI single

[metirish]

An error, it should be, Christ, this is an awful display in the field.

[ashie62]

GAH-BOOM!

There is a guy sitting behind home plate wearing a raiders t-shirt a little to the left who like like a forum member.

I see him. Is that Edgy?

[metirish]

I'd be shocked if Edgy was wearing a Raiders shirt, would seem to be out of character for him, unless he's trying to act the hard man at the park.

Yea, that's not him. Who did you think it was Ashie?

[Gwreck]

Gonna need another pinch-hit homer here Jordanny.

[Zvon]

Nice basic baseball. Ike doubles, we plate him with 2 productive groundouts.

4-3 them.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Byrd needs some help here.

[Gwreck]

Paying attention would help.

[Zvon]

Ugh. Now Ive seen everything!

Mets set up for the appeal play and Byrdak throws the pitch, with Murph standing on 2nd waitin for the ball.
yikes!
