IGT 07/02 - Mets at Braves

Oh, this is that pitcher who cheats. I'd call balk every pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

I guess the fact that he never lands again on the soul of his foot and therefore doesn't push off a second time is the reason it qualifies as legal.

deGrom was one pitch from getting out of it in the 1st.
Of course we would have found another way to lose it had he done so, but at least it would have been more interesting.
Instead, there hasn't been a hint since then that the Mets have been in this game.

Well, that's about the third rock-bottom this season.

I didn't see that play Gary was talkng about. When Tejeda was looking in the outfield during a hit ball? I'll have to take a look at that. Sounds like it was just one of those things but I still have to see what that looked like.

Sheesh, it's like I'll go watch Tejeda staring into center during a pitch and torture myself. Torture, just an unintended consequence of watching Mets games.

No shame in getting shut down by Teheran, I guess, but we couldn't afford to anyway.

Tejada's back was turned when the 1st hit went. I haven't reviewed it but reasonable to assume he might have had a shot were he on his toes and, who's to say whether he was even positioned properly. Of course the walks that followed were dumb mistakes themselves.

I like Terry and don;t much like this team but someone other than us fans ought to answer for all the heads-up-the-ass plays this team has given us --- one or two a night without fail.
