On Your Marc Get Set: A Call to Arms IGT, Pt. III: 6/19/2013

[Fman99]

Hey, new guy. Swing the fuckin bat.

[Edgy MD]

Did Simmons touch the bag on that DP?

[Frayed Knot]

Geez, ya think we've hit into enough GiDPs in this series?

fraid so

Mmmm, Young is very fast but he's not getting any of my graphic time with at bats like that one.

Yeah, but he's ranged too far to his right on several occasions, at least twice he dove for balls that were almost directly at Murphy.

He broke back initially, although if he was being lazy it certainly wouldn't be a first for him.

If that isn't an exaggeration I'm even more afraid.

It really isn't an exaggeration, it's more a case of Duda not knowing that Muffy was pulled around towards the hole so he Duda went flopping for it. It's actually good that he missed it both times because it made for an easier out although it still unnecessarily forced the pitcher to cover. A more seasoned 1Bman has a better idea of where his 2Bman is.

[Edgy MD]

Kimbrel's got to get hurt. Nobody can keep going like this.

I'm okay with him making judgement errors while he adjusts, like in the Harvey game.
No excuse for not knowing how your infield is setting up. Come Duds, know your situation.

I imagine if he ends up staying there he'll get it down. Might be the best place for him.

[Zvon]

Gah. Games over. That was a quiet demise.

Mets lose 5-3. boooo

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Shitty game.

Terrible idea by Young there in the 8th, if he wants to continue doing that he can have another DFA. And eff John Buck for whiffing on 3 pitches following Duda's leadoff hit in the 7th.

Oh, and Marcum sucks balls.

[Fman99]

I don't like to use profanity, or hate speech, or anything, but fuck Shawn Marcum, this guy sucks a truck full of cocks.

This game is blurry already. Is this about the bunt attempt?

I tend to suspect juicing with this guy. He's always angry, always looking to pull, always looking fastball, always bald. He's like Gary Carter on... well, on steroids.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Oh, and Marcum sucks balls.

Mebbe, but we offer him nothing. The only runs he got, he got from the Braves.--- giving Buck a free trip around the bases when he was trying to hit into a triple play.

Is this about the bunt attempt? Both bunt attempts. Got himself in a 0-2 hole for no reason. The bloop hit from Satin was a gift and he was determined to return it.

He gave it right back with 2 out and none on. Unreliable healthwise, inconsistent start to start, 0-9 with an ERA near 6.

[Benjamin Grimm]

When it's time to drop the rotation from six men to five, it seems like Marcum will be the obvious choice.

I just wish he was pitching well enough to be tradeable, but he's not really showcasing himself very well.

[Edgy MD]

He certainly coughed it back up. I just think the real issues remain on the offensive.

Meanwhoops, I have ESPN blocked at work, so I don't know the details, but Rubin writes today that the Mets can save money on Marcum by releasing him. Um, thanks for the effort, but... .

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He has innings-pitched bonusii, kicking in at 120 iirc.

[Edgy MD]

Well, 120 innings, unfortunately, isn't exactly looming.

Yes, if we could only score 7 runs a game, he'd be a real gem.

He sux BHMC

[Edgy MD]

I can get distortion in many places. Please don't deliberately misread my very minor point.

I've already advocated for his release today.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

There's got to be someone out there who thinks Marcum can be useful and might kick a minor prospect this way if the Mets pick up most of the salary. I'd even take a salary match for a misfit outfielder.
