IGT, Game 7, 4/8 NYM@ATL

WTG Terry!

[metirish]

I like these challenges , obviously this went our way but no need for Terry to get booted like before, get the call right

[nymr83]

Safe!!! Suck it braves!!!

That took about 3-4 minutes... i see some absolute shit challenges coming in the near future from managers who just took the lead and want to buy time for the closer to warm up

Yea, w/o this review bidness I'd have wanted him to yell until he did get tossed. These first two, nice, but I fear the bite someday.

I like getting the call right, but there was always something that fired me up watching my manager go ballistic out there

That's probably a big part of why challenges late in the game are at the umps' discretion.

Nice to get five pitchers into the Braves' pen in game one.

Mets have lost Pedro Beato twice (not signing him after the draft and then trying to get him thru waivers). Both times it was the cause of intense wailing from Met fans, but they've yet to be burned by it.

[Zvon]

Wow, that play at first was as close as it gets. (just saw the Atlanta replay)

[Edgy MD]

Tejada is the gas.

[Zvon]

And we get a run out of that. Wow. Mr T comes thru!

[ashie62]

I know its the norm in todays era but why pull Colon after 7 innings?

Cause he's old and fat.

Because when you have chance to pitch a Kyle Farnsworth, you pitch him.

Seeing Farny out there takes away just about all the extra relief that the tack-on run just gave me.

I hear ya but he has been surprisingly pleasant. So far.

Im more inclined to push my starter with a smaller lead if he is pitching well. No reason to stretch him up 4runs, even our clownpen need to be able to hold that lead for 2 innings

[Zvon]

I thought Dave had enough of it there.

Bring on the V

[Edgy MD]

Oh, joy, the tomahawk chop.

[Zvon]

Damn. Good at bat by that Upton.

[ashie62]

Hang in V

[ashie62]

YESSSSS!

[ashie62]

Unbelievable...

[Zvon]

GREAT PLAY MR.T!
Thats big.

NOOOOOOOOO, V!

[nymr83]

Noooo valverde youhad it!!!!

[metirish]

Big pop up there...come on Jose

[Zvon]

bad.

You have breathing room V. Get the grounder. Or the pop. Nice.

2 out.

[ashie62]
