IGT 8/14/13 NYM @ LAD : Creamed Capuano

[Zvon]

Baseball's hottest team expects to get Hanley Ramirez back Wednesday night when the Dodgers seek an eighth straight win and a three-game sweep of the New York Mets.

Los Angeles (69-50) is on a staggering 39-8 run, going from the NL West cellar to a 7 1/2-game lead on second-place Arizona.

The remarkable turnaround has showed few signs of waning with the Dodgers winning seven straight, their longest streak since a nine-game run May 9-18, 2010.

Murphy
Satin
Byrd

Brown

Gee

Interesting lineup. Murphy had a single in the 1st. Satin hit into a DP.

Gee lookin good.


WOW! What a throw by Puig. And Byrd was bustin it. Holy schmoly.

[Edgy MD]

Yasiel Puig..

...not one to be run on.

Parkeresque.

[Zvon]

All Keith has to do is watch the game but he has trouble doing that.

Man, that throw was unbelievable. I didn't think there was any chance to get Byrd where that ball came down.

[Edgy MD]

So, what the Mets need to score is... three hits and a stolen base.

[Zvon]

Brown: The Man Who Hit It Past Puig.

Nice rip. 1-0

That's both funny and cruel.

Probably should have started against Ryu. Stick him in the outfield against lefties, move Young to second and sit Murphy. At least some of the damn time.

[Frayed Knot]

We're letting pitchers off the hook early again.
Capuano retired only three of the first eight batters - but just one run to show for it all.

[Zvon]

I don't get to hear Ronnie. Thats wacky that they do that. I can only hear broadcasts from the game, not the studio.

I do want to see Young at second for a few.

Nice play Ike on the throw.

[Frayed Knot]

Gotta like 3-0 green lights!!

Earned Runs given up by Capuano in his last nine starts: 0 - 0 - 5 - 5 - 0 - 5 - 0 - 0 - 5 ... and the one in progress is currently at 4 and counting.

According to his pattern he owes us a run.

Gee perfect through three.

4-0 Mets

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

You can't spell "tripgle" without the Gee.

Looks like he smacked his mug on the dirt diving into third, didn't he?

TRIBOOM 4 Gee!

[Frayed Knot]

Twice through the lineup (eighteen hitters) Capuano has still only retired eight men.
Only the two GiDPs and the Puig throw have kept him out of even more trouble.

[Zvon]

I thought it was gone. Gee hit pretty hard with the head first slide. Looks okay. Lags grounds out.

[Frayed Knot]

How many [u:1hljef3a]hitters[/u:1hljef3a] can you think of who DON'T get a triple on a hit like Gee's?
Even without counting the total Clydesdales, there's Cano for sure. Soriano as well. Piazza.

[Zvon]

Ha! Crawford sucks. I think we got a call there. Yep, we did. Nice.

[Frayed Knot]

Dillon trying to reverse-engineer his perfect game.

[Zvon]

Wish he never got that triple. Must have taken something out of him. Nice pitch. Get out of this Gee!

And the trick to preventing scoring is to give up four hits in an inning.

[Zvon]

HAha, nice. 4 hit no runs for the Dodgers. Chew on that L.A.

[Zvon]

Only a Met could do that. Ive seen Ike do it. Muffy swings at a ball thats about to hit him.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Gee, he's doing swell.
