IGT 06/02 - PIT @ NYM - Wheels are Wobblin'

[Lefty Specialist]

Even Bill Mazeroski is hitting Sewald tonight.

[Lefty Specialist]

Oy. And Neil Ramirez warming in the bullpen.

[Centerfield]

Is Terry conscious? Is he even watching this game?

[Chad ochoseis]

Nobody else available? The last few days have been a blur, baseballwise.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jesus, blinked again and find some holy crap...

[Chad ochoseis]

Yeah, I agree with the decision to take Sewald out here.

[Centerfield]

WTF TERRY. THIS ONE IS ON YOU.

And the wheels aren't just wobbling. They've come off.

Except that it's looking increasingly less likely that we're going to hold the Pirates to less than a dozen.

[Centerfield]

This would still be a close game if Terry had pulled the pitcher who clearly had nothing.

This is inexcusable.

[Guest themetfairy]

Whatever the question, Sewald is not the answer.

[Edgy MD]

Surprised Granderson is facing LeBlanc.

Well, he was the answer to the question of who had been really good up until tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Reyes still has the pop-up thing perfected.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I know this doesn't cut it analysis-wise for some reading this, but...

[Fman99]

The Mets lost. I was sad. Harvey sucks a big fat railroad spike.

[Lefty Specialist]

This season has been so bad that this wasn't even one of their top six worst losses.

They sent Sewald out there and had no one warming behind him. That's why he was left out there so long.

Harvey has the look of a guy who's been doing too much of something: booze, broads, drugs, I don't know. But he only seems intermittently focused.

[Guest cooby]

We were eating supper and only half following but did Harvey have to bat before they pulled him?

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, I don't know why there was no Plan B behind Sewald. When you've got that many pitchers, it's not particularly kind or thoughtful.

"intermittently focused" seems about right. Which is more than he was two weeks ago, but still not enough.
