Plus that Willie Montanez riff from last inning (See Sucking in the Seventies thread).

[Zvon]

Calm down Zack.

[Zvon]

That should calm him down. Now get out of the inning. Two on, one out.

[Fman99]

Not good. 2-1 good guys.

[Zvon]

Nice DP.

[Fman99]

Well that could have been worse, Wheels gets the ground ball he needs to escape at 2-2.

[nymr83]

Well, this game was going great until my fiance came in to bug me. Way to ruin the no-hitter!!

[Fman99]

Yeah Marlon!

[Frayed Knot]

I think there's some contract somewhere that requires a poor offensive output anytime a young NYM pitcher is in the midst of a gem.

[Zvon]

WOW! Lead off triBOOM for Byrd! I thought that guy caught it. Just a fly ball Ike.

[Fman99]

Ike hanging tough with two strikes.

[Edgy MD]

Not sure I resist the urge to pinch-hit for Buck here.

And he grounds out.

Yeah, except that the result was ultimately unsuccessful and at no point was there hint that anything was in danger of being a hit.

He swung and fouled off a lot of pitches that were balls there. It was a good at bat just for makin the guy throw so many pitches but that last swing......

Maybe he should only look for curves and sliders.

So are we really gonna strand Byrd at third?
2 out now.

Well the half dozen liners. The pitcher misses his spot by an inch and those are screeching doubles down the line.

[Edgy MD]

Double steal.

[Edgy MD]

Nope.

[Fman99]

Well that's disappointing.

[Edgy MD]

Wheeler come out for the bottom of the inning?

[nymr83]

Stranding the leadoff triple?? Argjhhhhhhhhhh

The thing Ron was saying, about working the at bat until the pitcher makes a mistake, doesn't apply to Ike because he makes the mistake of swinging at shit.

Jeezes H Chripes. Forget about trading Byrd. Trade EVERYONE else.
2-2 mid 8th.

[dinosaur jesus]

Third base ump is calling all the check swings strikes. Q didn't swing.

[Edgy MD]

I'm gonna come out against trading Wheeler.

And Harvey.

And pretty much everybody else.

[Zvon]

Ha! Fish pitcher is a klutz.

[Edgy MD]

Might've done a double switch if the team had defensible defense from their backup shortstop.

[Fman99]

Solid inning there by Hawk.

[Edgy MD]

And toppa the order.

"Liners" is a very kind term for what Ike was hitting, and even if you want to classify them as such there was nothing that wasn't at least 20-30 degrees foul.

The pitcher misses his spot by an inch and those are screeching doubles down the line.

No, Ike merely hits a different foul ball somewhere

Hawkins with a nice and important inning. The rest of this lineup chews on FFman's short hairs. The ones around his anus.
A little hittin and this game is ours. OURS!
