IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreakers

[Edgy MD]

David Wright. Chasey-chasey.

[Edgy MD]

Well, at least the last one was a strike.

[Frayed Knot]

Not a good time for the worst AB of the year from Wright.

Yet, unfortunately, not struck.

[ashie62]

Eric Young Jr. is our best outfielder.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I was waiting for Adrian Johnson to change that to a strike.

[Edgy MD]

Brilliant. Walk for Byrd.

Piteher change That's a lot of bullpenners to stagger through this seventh even if they don't score again.

Bult let's have them score again.

[Frayed Knot]

This game has really had the brakes slammed on.
I think the top of the 6th started like an hour ago.

[Zvon]

jeezez these fuckin umps

[Zvon]

You tell him Muffy.

[Edgy MD]

I couldn't tell as they went to the commercial break. Did Murphy get tossed?

[Benjamin Grimm]

It looked to me like Teufel intervened in time, but I'm not sure.

Nope. And he went on for a while. That tells me that the ump knows he sucks.

[Frayed Knot]

So who's going to get the GW-HR off of Papelbon?
Get your votes in before it's too late.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I'm going with Valdespin.

Is this like the Buccigross overtime challenge? Do I win a t-shirt if I'm right? Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

[Edgy MD]

I go with Nieuwenhuis.

[Edgy MD]

Buck don't like the home plate umping either.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

That takeout at second was more Valdespin's poor footwork than Rollins being vicious. Most second basemen get out of there unscathed.

Well, that's not gonna happen.

[Edgy MD]

Bastardo getting it done.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Bastardo!

Damn him and that wicked slider. It's got some bite.

Oh man, that was a strike to Brown and this home plate ump is awful. Brown pops out to right.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Brown is retired on some routine Mayberry RF D.

Ha. You are firin' on all cylinders.

We will have top of the order in the 9th. Keep things in order Rice. Hold them here.

[Edgy MD]

That inside pitch before the flyout was a ball. He got that right. Phillies announcers and GameDay both thought so, anyhow.

It probably was, and it was 3-4 inches closer to the plate than strike one to Murphy.

Gary or Ron pointed out that the pitch was exactly in the same spot as the outside strike called on Murphy. To me consistency is the most important trait of a good ump.

[Zvon]

Don't mind me. I'm on a dump on the ump kick.

Come on Aardsma, get thru this unscathed.

[Zvon]

Aardsma gets it done. He didn't look good out there. They showed a close up of his face and I thought he was going to start crying. But he holds em. GJ sourpuss.

[Frayed Knot]

Papelbon has blown two games in the last week -- one he got the loss, in the other he gave up the tie before the Phils won in extras.
