Well, I imagine he's going to bat this inning.

A pitcher gets his third at-bat by the top of the seventh, you'd figure the team had plated at least a few. But nope, one run on a solo homer.

[Frayed Knot]

Still no 1-2-3 innings tonight. And still no runners brought around.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

And there y'are.

[Frayed Knot]

We get leadoff guys on in virtually every inning for two nights running and wind up with jack.
They start with two out and none on and still manage to put up a crooked number.

[Edgy MD]

We can unmake that lead.

With 15 or 16 innings at our disposal maybe.

Right here, BUNT. We need baserunners. Fucking bunt if they are going to overshift.

Except that our last 567 leadoff runners have been stranded.

[Edgy MD]

You're being a no person.

[Frayed Knot]

568

[Gwreck]

Still 567. Cuddyer was the second batter of the inning, not the leadoff batter.

I am still unhappy about Lucas' failure to bunt. That is the exact situation where he NEEDS to bunt for a hit. He's a professional, he can get the bunt down and if not, he needs to practice until he can.

Yes I know that but I was making the point that NO ONE who gets on base for the Mets winds up scoring.
The other problem is that there are no living New York Mets with a successful bunt on their resumes, either as a Sac or for a hit.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Danny Muno: pretty much the textbook definition of "just a guy."

[Edgy MD]

A submarining sinker closer is not ideal with a super-fast infield.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

CI at this point? Yeesh.

Either way, this is kinda The Wellington Castillo Game, innit?

[Frayed Knot]

Fuckin' Pathetic!!

10 hits plus 2 walks plus a catcher's interference and nothing produced a run except for the HR which, of course, came with the bases empty.

Dammit.

[Edgy MD]

What a turdy ending.

[Edgy MD]

Could have used a second lefty pinch-hitter.

Also could have perhaps gone with Flores and his love affair with the low pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

Probably opted for Mayberry so as to stay out of the double play.

Ooooops.

[ashie62]

Fire Terry Collins.

This team couldn't score at Spring Break.
