IGT 4/23 Dodgas at Mets

[Edgy MD]

Good hitting, good baserunning.

Let's score Tejada now.

[Zvon]

Murphy brings home Carson. Well done. Tie game.

[Zvon]

Nice hitting Mr Captain Wright.

[Edgy MD]

Mets = America.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Robert Carson, firestarter.

And of COURSE Byrd swings first pitch, then ends up grounding out.

[Edgy MD]

Sorry not to capitalize on the bases loaded, but how many two-run rallies begin with two outs, bases empty and a pitcher at the plate who has never batted in the big leagues?

Took the words out of my mouth. I've never seen that before.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

X-rays negative on the contused Niese, as per Guys.

[Edgy MD]

Jumpey throwey! See! Murph can do it too!

[Gwreck]

Go put your head down and sit in the corner, Keith. You need a fifteen minute timeout.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

PSA for our TV announcers, who seem dead set on murdering me via words: the jumpthrow existed before Derek Jeter, and will exist long after Jeter, who doesn't even do it so great.

[Edgy MD]

Our infield defense is awesome.

I vote with my remote. Goodbye Keith. Hello, Howie and Josh.

[Zvon]

OMG. U see that curve ball to Duda? Thats sick shit he's got there.

[Zvon]

That one curve ball almost paused before it snapped, like Kerhsaw does.

[Zvon]

The ol' "little guy hits his first home run of the season" trick.

[Edgy MD]

Atchison. Absolutely makes me think: "Everything's going to be OK. That's my dad they put into the game."

[Edgy MD]

Yay, Dad!!

[Edgy MD]

Murphy is playing some great baseball.

Good condition, too, I think.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, nice work by Atchison but I'm not quite sure that I saw the point in taking out Carson with just one out to go in the inning and the pitcher's spot due to lead off the next half.
Now both are spent and there's still four innings (or more) to get through.

Sorry to Niese's ankle for this prediction.

Yeah, be more specific next time.

One debate that hasn't even come up lately is the whole 'can Murph hack it at 2B?' question. That one has kind of quietly been answered in the affirmative.
I don't know that he'll ever be great there, but he's certainly been good enough and if this offensive start is going to be something like his norm than he'll be more than good enough.

OK, so it turns out Lagares was hitting for someone else and not Atchinson so my above point is less apt, but Carson had still retired 6 of 7 prior to being yanked and had 2-out and none-on.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Good job, Coach.

It was a double-switch.

Coach once told a story about getting hit by pitches. Does anyone remember this? It was freakin hilarious. I only remember the last line and how much it cracked me up.

[Zvon]

OOO, Lyon snappin off some curves too.

[Edgy MD]

Always odd to see 14 on a Dodger.

[Edgy MD]

Elllis gets the hanger. Boohiss.
