IGT, 5/26, Keeping Kase out of traction

[Zvon]

yeaaaaaaaa muffy. Doubles Duda to third.
0 outs. Now come on....we GOTTA SCORE.

[Edgy MD]

Whelp, I guess it's too late to suggest we should have pinch-run for Duda.

Not sure we still shouldn't, with Francouer in right, but it's not like there are any obvious candidates. (Muno?)

[Zvon]

If we don't score it's traction for me too.

[Zvon]

Ughhhhhhh. Cuddyer Ks.

[Zvon]

Jeeze, Flores, take the walk!

[Fman99]

In Wilmer We Trust

[Zvon]

Tghis guys wild. Dont swing at anything up in the zone.

oo, nice pitch..Flores drills it to right center and drives in Duda w/ a sac fly!
4-4 Mets

[Frayed Knot]

But it wasn't a homer and that's what he was brought in to do ... or so I heard.

[Zvon]

Oh man!
Holy crap!
And C was hustling his ass off. Howd he make that play?

[Frayed Knot]

Familia gets through the inning even though retiring only one batter.
Someone now needs to take advantage of that.

I never said he was brought in for anything. I never put it that way. He was in. Our selection for the position was what we had. He was selected as the starting shortstop and the team is trying to sell me on his power, his ability to add punch to a line up that needs it. So I have my expectations. And he did punch that liner for an RBI.

These Phil talking idiots said he's a dead pull hitter. We know this isn't totally true cause we've seen how he can flick them to right when he gets a certain type outside pitch. He can also inside out it to right if he needs to. We've seen him do it. I expect and hope for more than just HRs out of Wilmer. But for now, as he is being sold, I'll be judging him for that. If he goes on a hitting tear and bats .500 for the next month (w/ no homers), I will gladly adjust my thinking.

[Zvon]

Gah! Extra innings.

Yeah, you pretty much did: [from the 'Unsucking' thread] "I mean, what he's there for. To hit homers."

Bah, the team isn't trying to sell you on anything other than their guarantee that you'll have the time of your life. You're overthinking this.

[Edgy MD]

Pick your extra-inning hero.

I'm going with Laggy.

No. For example, Campbell was "brought in" to take Wrights place. Flores has been our shortstop since day one. The Mets tell me his offensive numbers will make up for his fielding. I don't think he'll ever hit for average.


Whew. Familia Ks Howard.

And Laggy singles to lead it off. Niiiice.

[Zvon]

End it here Duda!

[Edgy MD]

The bunt is still damn close to a gimme.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Come on Murphy. Put an end to this game right here.

[Zvon]

Cant in sudden death. Duda takes the walk the ump didn't want to give him. That 3rd ball was low.

Did Murph just show bunt?

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Not what I had in mind Daniel.

[Zvon]

The old double play. Cuddy up with Lags on 3rd.

[Zvon]

Jeeze, let the guy walk it in Wilmer. Or hit one of those home runs that I expect of you.

[Zvon]

A single and /or double is also acceptable.

[Fman99]

WILMER MUTHAFUCKIN FLORES!

[Zvon]

[bigpurple:8phqg7f2]YAY![/bigpurple:8phqg7f2]

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

Wilmer wins it for the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

Wilmer's the best thing they've got going right now.

[Edgy MD]

Sounds like the Steve Gelbs Hologram Generator is low on power.

[Zvon]

Once again, disappointed that we couldn't keep things in order for deGrom, but two of those runs were his. Very glad we did not let this one get away.
