IGT: Braves at Mets 04/20/14

[Edgy MD]

Nothing against Daisuke, but he should be the last man out of the pen today, shouldn't he?

[Edgy MD]

Great break on the curve to strike out Simmons.

Gary and Ron concur, they questioned this ....

[metirish]

There you go, he looked great

He;s the guy you'd figure is most capable of going multiple innings.
Of course if we don't score until the second week of May or so (and our next run may not even come that quick) none of this is going to matter.

[Zvon]

That guy should be able to pitch all night. Advantage...

Freeman for some reason.

[Frayed Knot]

Lots of free baseball today.
Brewers & Pirates are in the 12th in Pittsburgh (following another near brawl involving Carlos Gomez - pitchers don't seem to like that dude) and the Yanx & Rays are heading to the 11th

Nationals got a 9th inning GW Sac Fly to avoid extras with the Cardinals.

I wasn't doubting that he could be effective, I just thought that (1) if you burn your whole pen, you want your longest guy available last, and (2) if they are going to have anybody available tomorrow, it should be Matsuzaka, as Mejia might not answer the bell.

[metirish]

I think Ron is making too much of this.

[Frayed Knot]

Something good has to come from Grandyman at some point ... doesn't it?

[Edgy MD]

EY back on the left side of the plate. That's his walkoff side.

[Zvon]

GAH. And did I read right? Grandy also dropped a fly and threw one into the Braves dugout for a run?

A hearty BOOOOOOO!

Threw one away, yes. Didn't drop one though.

[Edgy MD]

Mix of sun and shadows is krazy out there.

[Zvon]

Watching some replay highlights. That throw by Recker. He's killin it when he plays. Not the ball but just his catching duties. How long do we give 'lil d' to start running with the big boys?

HAHAHA, Uggla really does suck x..what? 3?

And in sunshine and in shadow, Danny boy will lead off in bottom 11

I guess that's coming up.

Terry has indicated maybe getting decker into the mix a little more often. He didn't put a specific on it but maybe one game in three or one in four instead of the usual one in six.
I'd be for that.

Yea ditto. d' can be an instant [crossout]star now[/crossout]...ground out

[Edgy MD]

I hereby DEMAND Jeter play short for the Braves the rest of the year.

[Zvon]

He's gonna groove one to Recker.

[Frayed Knot]

Look at twinkle-toes Lucas running wild.

[Zvon]

Ha. Gattis kinda sucks.

[Zvon]

UGH. Good pitch to hit IMO.

[Zvon]

V. He's gotta have a good outing here. Maybe for 2 innings.
Prove yourself V.

[Edgy MD]

HEY! Burkhardt's still working for us.

BIG hand for Matsuzaka in my house.

[Edgy MD]

Got speedburny Gattis that time.

[Lefty Specialist]

Most pissed person in New York right now? Kaity Tong. No Channel 11 newscast for you.
