IGT 4/19 Filthy v. Mets Gsellman v. Velasquez.

[Edgy MD]

Looking over his shoulder was almost certainly the difference.

Franco looks stiff and stinky at third. Mets should exploit that.

[Zvon]

Whats the significance of the "spray angle"? That sounds messy.

He wasn't booking it as fast as he would have been had he not been looking behind him while trying to run.





AND HE SLID!! -- Well, there's that I suppose.

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see Gsellman get a lick with his bat.

[Zvon]

New York making Velasquez look like he's a good pitcher. He's not.

Phils threatening in the 4th, runners on the corners.

[Zvon]

Franco RBI groundout.
1-0 Philadelphia.

[Edgy MD]

If warning track flies was the goal, we'd be sitting pretty.

[Frayed Knot]

Game is not even half over and they already have a hit!
Of course that hit also ended an inning and killed the [crossout:7an5lbgp]best[/crossout:7an5lbgp] only scoring chance they had, but baby steps.

[Zvon]

Velasquez singles in a run. Cripes.
2-0

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

We're lucky it was just the one.

So, Duda's wrist is a thing, then?

[Guest cooby]

Watching on Comcast; so far not very exciting.

Who is the Mets shortstop HR leader?

[Edgy MD]

Reyes one-pitch outin'.

Too soon to say. It didn't look that bad to me but he was in obvious pain after the play. Flores takes 1st base.

[Guest themetfairy]

It's not Duda's wrist - it's his elbow

All-time? Kevin Elster, I think.

Stuck w/Comcast too. Bleh.

You go. I mean, looking back at Gsellman, is sliding for suckers or something?

Great homer, but too much mailing it in, man.

[Edgy MD]

Did Gsellman mostly get to bat there because of the shorto bencho?

[Frayed Knot]

It was Gsellman not sliding, Cespedes not running, the whole team not hitting, two players going down in the same half-inning, and just the whole suckitude of the team which was just about to totally deplete
my brief spate of optimism earlier this afternoon.


... and now Gsellman not bunting!!

My bad. I think you are correct.

Conforto was on deck to PH but when the bunt was in order TC went with Gsellman, who couldn't get the bunt down.

If the injuries to two big power sources are more week-to-week than day-to-day, I feel like we may be about to have some... other issues forced.

Lead off doubles suck. But this could be a huge bounce back for Jerry!
