IGT: 6/20/15-Mets @ Braves

[Zvon]

4-4 Mets

[Edgy MD]

Shift turns a routine grounder into a double.

[Frayed Knot]

Who the Fuck did Pierzynski strike a deal with? 1B, 2B, & 3B and he hasn't hit a ball hard yet!

Now we just have to stay tuned for Simmons's 3rd RBI bloop of the game.

[Zvon]

white magic! Hey they slid right in, like I never was an idiot.


UGH. A bleeder. Peir on 2nd, 0 out. Leathersnatch is done. That was such a soft double.

He'll never have a better chance for the cycle. If we score 7 or more runs I'll root for him to get it.

[Frayed Knot]

JEEZUS F. CHRISTMAS!!!!

[Frayed Knot]

And now Perez has two hits without getting a ball out of the infield!!

[Frayed Knot]

And there goes d'Anaud's season

[Edgy MD]

Please get up.

[Zvon]

GAH!. We can't even throw out Peirz on a shallow fly. I'm sad

[Zvon]

Shit. I told you some catcher some day would get fucked up cuzza these new rules.

[Frayed Knot]

So let's review this inning (still in progress):
- shit hit
- shit hit
- bunt hit
- short sac fly which scores a 96 y/o heavy legged catcher because of an off-line throw.

My fear here is that the Braves are actually going to hit a ball hard sometime soon and it'll be a 4-run game

[Edgy MD]

I'm trying to think if it would've been different under the old rules. I don't really conclude that it would've.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Doesn't look good for Travis, hopefully it's a little thing.

[Guest d'Kong76]

If Lagares can't throw, why is he playing? Go get it fixed, or get
him some rest. What are they waiting for his frickin' arm to ex-
plode before making a decision?

That's exactly what my brother said an inning or 2 ago. Then he said "I can't watch this anymore" & left. (I kid, he was leaving anyway-but he did say that^)

[Zvon]

omg. how do u not throw home there Stoupy?

[Edgy MD]

Another nothing hit.

Another flatuent brain.

[Guest d'Kong76]

When I was seven years old I was taught if the ball is hit to me
what am I going to do in this situation before each pitch.

[Frayed Knot]

Keith thinks Campbell should have thrown home there. The only problem is that if he did the throw would have been just off-line enough to:
a) not get the out
injure our other catcher

The swipe tag is what this rule's all about, seems to me. If not for the rule, d'Arnaud's on the baseline taking that throw.

Nah, the throw was just off line. The rule never comes into play there.

[Zvon]

ooo, I think he was out @ 3rd!

[Edgy MD]

Will tonight be the night Terry blows?

[Frayed Knot]

Judging by the micro-managing decisions they've used to reverse calls before, they should definitely overturn this one. ... and they do!!

[Zvon]

Wow, they called him out. This is one wacky & shitty game.

[Frayed Knot]

That shallow sac fly was the hardest ball hit in the inning.

[Guest d'Kong76]

d'Arnaud's injury was to elbow, going to hospital for evaluation.

[Edgy MD]

Watching that curve with two strikes. Over and over. Keith would be ashamed.

[Guest themetfairy]

When we were driving home, Howie and Josh were recounting how the Turner Field security crew took away the thunder sticks from The 7 Line because they were upset with how boisterous they were. Anything on the TV about that?

Meanwhile, Gary and Keith report that the X-rays on d'Arnaud's elbow were negative - whew!
