IGT 06/05 - Mets at Diamondbacks

[Edgy MD]

Big zone tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

This is another game where we should have a bigger lead.
With 6 hits including a 2B & HR plus 3 walks -- vs their 3 singles + 1 BB -- we should have more than 2 runs and just a 1 run lead.

[Frayed Knot]

Division check:
- Nats won vs Cubs
- Phils lost to Giants
- Braves lost to Pirates
- Marlins leading in am 8th inning rain delay in Colorado

[Frayed Knot]

Aaaaand just like that ...

[Zvon]

That Goldshit guy is something else. The hit and his base running. He didn't even round third. Just got there and made a left. Great crazy throw from Cuddy
almost gets him.

I didn't even have time to put up my "tied" graphic. Come on Niese.

[Zvon]

Niese only goes 6. He kept us in this game but if this is his best effort I am not impressed.

[Fman99]

The pitch that Goldy got was not a bad pitch. But, still, too many guys left picking their butts on base tonight. Still two chances to even it up.

[Centerfield]

Niese sucks. But it is tough to win with this lineup.

I can't believe our top of the lineup is Granderson and Tejada.

[Zvon]

Cadaver must really like the nickname. He's intent on keeping it. He must guess on every pitch. Might as well be "K"daver.

[Frayed Knot]

We gotta quit hitting line drives right at their OFers.
Quitting sucking with men on base would be a good idea too.


And keep in mind that the edge in runs tonight is that Niese's only walk was right in front of the pitcher, who then got the bunt down (something Met pitchers haven't done since sometime back during the Clinton administration), and then the runner was allowed to take 3rd uncontested which was NOT inconsequential because he then came in to score on an infield hit. Ball never left the infield but they scored anyway.

Fucking Granderson. He should have had that. Didn't even need to dive.

[Frayed Knot]

Two plays COULD have been made this inning, neither play WAS made.

[Zvon]

Gah. Grandy come on. If it's in your glove, catch the damn thing.

And of course they score. ^That goes for you too Tejada.

4-2 Dooshbags

[Frayed Knot]

Oh and look, a double steal. This one wasn't uncontested but it might as well have been.

[Zvon]

Ya had one job Leathersnatch.

[Fman99]

Yuk a roo. I'm all done.

[Frayed Knot]

My prediction for the final score of this game is 11-2
That's right, I'm taking the optimistic approach.

[Zvon]

7-2. Goeddel can't get it over the plate.

[Zvon]

The worse bullpen on the face of the earth is perfect against us.

[ashie62]

I could use Stanton and Goldschmidt in the same sentence. I just did lol.
