IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

[Zvon]

There ya go. Bax ties it with a bloop single that scores John Beck Buck.

[Zvon]

Turner better be a decoy. I want a Harvey win.

Bax steals second. hmm

[Zvon]

Bax steals 3rd,. Hmm. But Laggy Ks. And Turner will bat for Matt. Well, he still can get the win if Turnip uses this at bat wisely.

[Zvon]

Turner strikes out. Of course he strikes out.

[Frayed Knot]

Last full time through the lineup and exactly TWO balls were put into play: Wright's FO and Baxter's bloop.
If it weren't for the wild pitch in the middle there they wouldn't have scored at all.

Tejada - BB
Murph - K
Wright - FO
Davis - K

Duda - K
Buck - BB + wild pitch
Baxter - 1B + SB + SB
Lagares - K
Turner (PH'ing) - K

You know you're in trouble when you're relying on John Buck's base-running skills to build runs.

No way. With the go-ahead run on bae late in the game a PH there is a no-brainer.
The idea is to win the game, not to get a particular person a win in the game.

I normally would agree. As a fan I feel Harveys bigger than this team right now. Its just the fanboi in me.

OOO,Parnell coming on in the 8th.Tied 2-2.

[Zvon]

A line base hit off Bobby gives the game to the Bucs. The ball also goes right thru Laggys legs. 3-2 not us

[Edgy MD]

Rice, huh?

[Zvon]

And again in this inning: leadoff walk who then never advances an inch and two more Ks are hung up on the board.

Gary should credit you when quoting you.

Not so nice

[Edgy MD]

Murphy doin' it like he used to.

Pick him up, Mets.

[Zvon]

Okay, I'm out of Harvey win mode and into Met win mode. One out double by Muffy in the 8th.

[Edgy MD]

Okey dokey. Passed ball. Infield in. Totally pick him up.

[Edgy MD]

Wright walked.

Had been (and still is) 8-9 in plating a runner on third with less than two out. Melancon, who hadn't walked anybody this season, clearly wasn't about getting beaten by him.

Ike, I look to you.

Need this pre-game prediction to come true RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!

[Edgy MD]

Hey, look. Playing Ike straightaway.

[Zvon]

The Capt takes a walk and its all on Ike and Duds.

[ashie62]

Fuck you Ike...

[Edgy MD]

Well, Ike missed by about a foot there.

[Frayed Knot]

Once Ike got to 0-2 there was really very little hope for that AB

[Zvon]

Ike, that was shit! Wasn't even a near strike!

GO DUDS!
LETS GO METS!

[ashie62]

Time for an alternatives to Ike thread...

Easy, boss.

[Frayed Knot]

I'm resigned to rooting for WPs/PBs or balks as a way to score.

[Edgy MD]

Fuck you, first base.

[Frayed Knot]

If that doesn't hit the base then Sanchez hugging the line most likely gloves it ... so we sort of got lucky then unlucky in rapid succession.
As usual of late though, we got the outs in the wrong order.

ha!

When it hit the bag I thought WOW, its gonna be a hit and plate that run. I was shocked when it went right to Inge and he got Duds. At least Lucas hit the ball, and hit it hard.

[Frayed Knot]

In the 9th it'll be Buck - Baxter - Lagares - then either Valdespin or Byrd

Those first two guys have been our best hitter and runner of late ... just in the opposite way from what one would expect
