IGT 06/16: PIT@NYM, Nicasio@Col�n

[Zvon]

Gelbs does not bet fairly! That knocks him down a peg.

[Edgy MD]

Am I crazee, or did Freese miss that last pitch by a foot and a half?

He's totally got a run at a complete game shutout teed up here.

7 scoreless, 4 hits, 0 walks, 6 Ks, just over 11 pitches/inning so should have plenty of juice left ... yeah, I'd say so.

[Frayed Knot]

I think the Mets have hit more balls hard tonight than they did yesterday despite the 19 to 9 (thus far) hit difference.

[Edgy MD]

Looks like the train is starting to get low on coal.

[Zvon]

8th inning though! This is amazing and much needed, I tip my cap to Bartolo. Long has he thrown!

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay kids, lets put this one away please.

[Zvon]

Niiiiice. Stays up for Granderson and Blevins(?) gets it done.

I can't tell those white kids apart anymore.

[Zvon]

de Use less at the plate.

I predict he finds a way to hit into a DP (Mets on 2nd & 3rd, 1 out).

[Zvon]

HahaHA. He almost did.

[Zvon]

Wow. Magnificient catch by the leftbucco. He just got that glove up in time.




Spazz.

[Zvon]

Reed gets the 9th. Wise move.

[Edgy MD]

Joyce is trying to single-handedly will the Pirates back into this one.

[Zvon]

At least in theory.

Another quick pitch? Got, I hat that shit.

[Zvon]

Did I say wise move? Damn, baseball will stick it to ya every time! Well, not every time. Ugh, and Fammy will enter.
Why do I not feel good about this. Maybe because I'm not all that wise.

[Zvon]

Familia says FUCK U Z! I GOT THIS! One quick out.

[Lefty Specialist]

Ohhhhh......

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jeez, Uncle Bartolo coulda done all this with less drama.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Bookaroonies!

[Fman99]

Put it in the books!

[Lefty Specialist]

Whew.

[Zvon]

Hits, homers, runs, no broken bones,...great game.

[Ceetar]

oof. career OBP .258 Eric Kratz batting as the last out. I can't believe the Mets are playing short and end up having no one to hit in that spot.

[Frayed Knot]

And Kratz was a recent pick-up otherwise the Pitt catching situation would be even worse.
As Gary said, Chris Stewart couldn't have been available otherwise they don't leave Kratz in there.

We look a little like the good Mets again. Seems like even when we won over the last month we haven't really been winning. Like also that they beat a good team on a crappy streak. That's what good teams do, when they're not crappy.

[Lefty Specialist]

Speaking of crappy, 7 of the next 9 against the Braves. No excuses, boys.
