IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

[Ceetar]

I think the better case is Kirk, but if Jason Bay has any chance (and I know most don't believe he has a chance) at getting going, you figure it's with some regular reps to start at least. timing wise.

TC said he'll still "mix and match with Bay That makes sense but Duda is out there. Terry said on his WFAN interview that he wanted Bay out there because Valdespin's an infielder and with Young and a lot of fly balls he wanted the experience. Duda's not great for sure, but he's the 'regular' and is vastly experienced as compared to Jordany. What do you go for --- athletic skills or experience. At a corner outfield spot, it's a tossup. Also going for the introvert over the extrovert.

No shortage of OF's to mix and match with.

That's not the word on the street.

OK, LGM, YGB, etc.

I believe it's a really crappy Subway shirt actually.

I get a truck on Monday though!

[Ceetar]

long, hard flyout for Duda. good AB at least..

[Edgy MD]

OH, SHIT! You DISSED ME!!

Duda lines to the wall. Harper catches it and plants his face. Great outfield defense by the Nats this series.

[ashie62]

Bryce Harper the new Chipper Jones pain in the ass...

[Edgy MD]

Jason Bay follows. GET OFF THE INTERSTATE NOW!!!

(Strikes out on three pitches. Ptui.)

I'll give him at least a half season before I compare him to a future Hall of Famer (barring random drug revelations)

[Edgy MD]

Andres Torres. Doing pretty nicely the last two-three weeks...

[Edgy MD]

Full count to Torres. Grounds to LaRoche. Side retired.

We'll be back after these messages and I'll be turning the play-by-play over to my colleagues.

[Zvon]

Apparently my internet is intermittent tonight. And we haven't been hit by any storms yet here. Surely not a good omen. Hopefully this covers me for the whole thread:

True...he nailed us twice and it felt familiar..

[Edgy MD]

That's the way to pitch to Tyler Moore.

[Zvon]

Young with some skull music.

[Zvon]

Yeaa. Nice throw Josh!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Thole is proving to be a better defensive catcher than our defensive catcher.

[Edgy MD]

Still I wonder if his game-calling skillz are part of our bullpen struggle.

[Edgy MD]

Ok, Murphy, Wright, Davis. Let's smack some baseballs!

[Edgy MD]

He lumbers a doozie to Lombardozzi.

[Zvon]

Look at Wright go down and get that pitch. Nice hitting.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Finally a play they don't make.

[Edgy MD]

Moore missed and he should know it
He ought to just play the short hop and throw it

[Edgy MD]

And a double play that they do.

[Zvon]

Shit. Come on Ike. Weak grounder for the DP.

[Zvon]

Woo, we got major stormage here now. I love long drawn out thunder claps. Sounds wicked.

[Zvon]

Ha! Harper sucks.

[Zvon]

Getting that DP there was another break for us. More breaks please. Ill defy all odds & logic and predict a Bay bomb this half.

[Edgy MD]

Hey, a hit by Bay! That's a good portent!

[Zvon]

These days that might qualify as a Bay bomb.

Jason, no new kabooms for you until you start hittin em! (thatll motivate him)
