Roadtrip: Mets @ Braves 6/17/13

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'm not sure, but if I had to guess, I'd say it probably started sometime around the time virtually every elementary-school grade started getting a "graduation" ceremony.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Doodoo is 4-for-4. Boom

[Zvon]

Duda smashes a doobla. What a night. 4fer4.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Byrd of course has left him on base 4 times.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

For Your Golden Glove Consideration: Daniel Murphy, Second Baseman

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Muffy getting down with Leather.

[Zvon]

Whoa, Duda with the fine pick of Murphys short throw. That was big.
Gee gets thru 8, but he did walk his first batter there. Great job by Gee.

Earlier Gary said that Duda has yet to ground into a double play this season. That's crazy talk!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

How about an insurance run?

[Zvon]

It would be nice.

So its gonna be Gee til he hits a bump? I'm usually okay with this, I endorse it most times, but tonight I'm thinkin Parnell by a whisker.

It's not so much the speed or the flyball tendencies, as it is the fact that most middle infielders are terrified that Boo's going to burn down their garage, or murder a pet of theirs.

[Zvon]

Oh, Uggla only sucks with the glove. He don't love the glove.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Sheesh, Simmons can play some shortstop.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Whoa this Simmons dude is awesome.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

The Braves' Simmons, the D-Backs' Gregorius... whattup with all the Dutch shortstop action these days?

____Very funny.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

[Zvon]

We're with ya Gee!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Gee has simply stunned me. I'd have bet he was done as recently as 3 weeks ago.

Geez, here's Freeman. Gulp.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Squeaky bum time.

[Zvon]

A man reaching first in a one run game is a bump to me. And this is a save situation. But Ill still root for Gee to shut the door.

Freeman *teeth start chattering

I think we did vote him off the island.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

fuck me.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Sigh.

[Zvon]

Damn, baseball is a wicked mistress.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Ugh.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Bob Costas will be horrified.

[Zvon]

I'm not gonna be mad at Gee. Nor Terry. If Gee wanted the opportunity for his first complete game, he deserved to get it.

[Edgy MD]

I blacked out in inning three or four.

I'm the worst.

fuck that shit, the job of the manager is to make hard decisions and to not be afraid of upsetting players for the greater
As soon as someone got on Gee should have been pulled, either for Scott Rice (who's held LEFTIES to .477 OPS)
or Parnell.
All Gee's splits tell you that it was red alert time,
above 76 pitches - .897 ops against
left handed hitters - .783 ops against

JESUS FUCKING WEPT MAKE THE MOVE>

Numbers skewed by his earlier starts where he was still getting up to snuff, and mostly small sample stuff.

It's a sticky situation though, because I bet Terry uses Parnell in a normal situation, and while you're supposed to manage for the game you're playing and all, tomorrow IS going to be rough with two games and a rookie starter (potential or not, rookie starter). Of course, Parnell does not give up home runs.
