IGT 04/25 - Fishsticks at Metropolitans

[Edgy MD]

Well, that's the first one I feel comfortable in saying, "Ike woulda had it."

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Sweet changeup to get Dietrich for the second out. Given the way he likes to pull guys 2/3 of the way through innings, I'm half-surprised Terry's not going with, like, Familia here.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So Wheelz wasn't just whistling Dixie about his relationship with Darno. Well, anyway... all that shaking-off drama pays off, with another sweet off-speed jobber to get Hechavarria.

d'Arnaud's gotta lead the league in doing that glove-point thing towards his pitcher.

Mine too, although I think it would have been far from a sure thing even with Ike.
Like his hitting, Ike's fielding didn't seem as good in recent years as it was at the beginning.

Tejada taking his 'downtown' cut on a 2-0 pitch

Man, Abreu is a Rusty-type presence coming out of the dugout, isn't he?

Both left-handed swingers, same size, same shape, similar batting eyes, ... only real difference is in the color of the wavy hair.

[Edgy MD]

Hard to predict anything like Rustiffic results, but it would be something if, like Rusty, a sudden Abreic appearance would cause the pitcher to change the way he's approaching the batter in front of him.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, now that we're into the Marlins bullpen we may or may not get this match-up, but if you're playing one of those dice baseball games, in order for it to be realistic, wouldn't you have to roll a snake-eyes in order to have Carlos Marmol NOT walk Bobby Abreu?

Listening on XM tonight and tomorrow, as always, when the games are on WPIX.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Saltylahmakiya ... ug

[ashie62]

Oh crap...

[ashie62]

Oh crap...

[Edgy MD]

That was a pretty good pitch, but it was the same pitch as the one he wanted two pitches earlier, but this one had more plate, and Salt was waiting for it.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jones.. ug

[Edgy MD]

Now I feel like I should have done more thorough research on Salty and Jones.

[Frayed Knot]

Bit of a second guess here seeing as how Germen had looked so good against the prior couple of batters, but with three straight LHBs coming up, why exactly was Rice even warming up if not for them?

[Fman99]

FUCK

[Frayed Knot]

Had two runs in, still only one out in the 3rd inning, and Murph on 3rd base after his steal.
But we not only never got that run in but have just one hit since that point.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

We need to get back into the home-run industry.

[Zvon]

Crap, I got called away. When did this go south?
Germen? Ugh, and I was likin' him.

Ya know, it's like they designed the park for Reyes and really fucked over Wright. That's his power ally.

[metirish]

Seen some great defense and some bad tonight

[Guest d'Kong76]

Don't see the muffed ball saved by a foot to get
at least one out often.

[Edgy MD]

Muffiest inning ever.

I'm all caught up. Murph misplayed every one his way that inning. Yikes. Got the DP tho.

Okay, time to tie it.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Here we GO.

[Zvon]

A Duds single.
