    Young--who has the annoying nickname of 'EY', or often 'EY Junyah' among TV announcers--actually hit decently last season [.316/.377/.448 // 825 - with the whole 'Coors Field' caveat] but not so much this year and has never been given as many as 200 ABs in a season. He had been DFA'd by the Rox a few days ago so it looks like Colorado said: 'Well I guess this McHugh guy is better than nothing. Yes he is Rockies fans, but not much. Aside from his WOW! debut start (which he did NOT even win) he's been pretty much awful and has lasted [u:36cgwyme]a total[/u:36cgwyme] of 9.1 innings while giving up 17 runs in his three starts since. btw, happy birthday Collin, you've been traded (26 today). Young is 28

    And they didn't take the ball out of play.

    For all the baseball that's been played today, Met pitchers have yet to throw a pitch behind in the score. That one friggin pitch to Freeman is the only real blemish in the last 22 hours.

They are because of their starting pitching. Erratic in a lot of other places though. Very hit-n-miss offense and, like I said a few posts ago, their pen isn't nearly as deep as what we've been used to in recent years, particularly from the left side.

    With the injuries to those couple of Braves' lefties, their pen isn't all that intimidating now unless and until you get to Kimbrel.

    How many wall scrapers has Wright hit over the last week or so? Seems like about a dozen.

    I'm getting quite sick of these Braves and their infield choppers. Those two from Uggla in game one, the bunt-chopper that started this inning, and that one just there from Heyward that prevented any chance of a DP or even a force play. It's one thing if it's intentional but these are obviously not.

    Leif Erikson is younger than Atchison

    I propose the nickname L'il Abner for Recker. He needs a slightly different haircut but did you see the forearms on that guy?!?

    We tried to lose but were unsuccessful as BJ grounds out to Muffy.
  16. Frayed Knot
    BJ Upton to PH

    Mets decide to make things MORE interesting by going out 1-2-3 on 7 pitches in their half of the 9th.

    Liner off the glove of Duda goes for two-bases and one run. IW for Freeman ... and I think we'll see Parnell for the attempted four-out save.

    Only one hard hit ball this inning (Simmons) but one walk plus two with tricky hops that could only get turned into one out total despite force plays all around.

    Hawkins Ks McCann - although it doesn't appear that J Upton was ever announced into the game. Terry might have jumped the gun on the ol' switcheroo

    Vic Sage wrote: I don't know about letting Harvey hit here; he has pitched enough today and probably won't go 9, so why not pinch-hit to try and blow it open. Except that Harvey is probably as likely to get a hit as any PHer, so never mind. Plus we already have a four run lead and I want at least one more inning out of Harvey (translation: I want one FEWER inning out of the pen).

    If you were Dave Carpenter and I were Jordany would you walk me anyway could I get a Ribbe?
