    First New York team to get to Omaha since 1980, and the first northeast team since '86

    BA: The Mets have agreed to terms with supplemental first-rounder Kevin Plawecki on a $1.4 million bonus. The offensive-minded catcher led Purdue to its first Big Ten Conference regular-season title in 103 years and first-ever conference tournament championship this spring. He makes consistent line-drive contact, has some power potential and gets the job done defensively. The assigned value for Plawecki's 35th overall pick is $1,467,400.

    Insta-analysis is always problematic with drafts - particularly so in baseball, but here's John Sickels' take on the Mets' top guys this year. First-rounder Gavin Cecchini (SS, Louisiana HS) has already signed for a below-slot bonus. His glove is sound but opinion about his bat is mixed. Supplemental choice Kevin Plawecki (C, Purdue) is a solid hitter with good plate discipline, some power, and fine defense behind the plate. I like him. Second-round pick Matt Reynolds (3B, Arkansas) has an impressive glove and a chance to hit enough to play regularly. Second-round choice Teddy Stankiewicz (RHP, Texas HS) has a good fastball, already throws strikes, and is projectable. He could be a bargain. Third-round pick Matt Koch (RHP, Louisville) throws hard but was surprisingly hittable in college. The middle round picks were a mixed lot, then they switched to pitching after the 10th round. The development of preps Cecchini and Stankiewicz is the key here

We deserved to lose the first one, the second two were a toss up. They certainly didn't execute, and failed, but 'deserved'? no, they weren't outplayed. The Yanx might not have deserved to win this game but we certainly deserved to lose it: 2 errors, 2 pick-offs, 3 bases-loaded Ks plus a weak grounder, missed bunts, getting thrown out on the bases, bad relief paralleling a failure to hit their middle relievers, do I need to go on?

    I considered delaying the updating of this while I contemplate whether I ever want to watch a baseball game again. Fortunately there's a day off prior to the next one while I try to calm down.

    12 of the Yanx 18 runs during this series via HRs 2 of our 7

Or maybe someone in the pen could try tossing up a scoreless frame every once in a while Or maybe we can try to get on more than 3 base-runners between the 2nd & 9th innings And then maybe 2/3 of those runners we do manage to get on might want to try NOT getting picked off Or maybe we could NOT go 1-2-3 in consecutive innings against the likes of Viva Rapada and Cory 'Haim' Wade Or maybe we could try NOT extending one inning with an error and then starting the very next one with another error And maybe - just maybe mind you - the batters could decide to NOT STRIKE OUT THREE TIMES IN BOTH BASES LOADED AND TWO-ON SITUATIONS - two of those three Ks with less than two outs

    So what's the combined distance total on Martin's two HRs? I'm guessing about 624 ft
  13. Frayed Knot
    The Yanx work two weak grounders and a pop-up into two runs - while we somehow work two doubles and a single into one

    Thole's got to come into the game anyway ... do you PH him (for Valdespin) here? I think I do even though greater chance of a DP and will worsen the defense at 2B (Murph already in too) Lefty v lefty either way. oe: and Terry agrees

    bmfc1 wrote: Bases loaded, one out and Bay then Wright strike out. What FK said about extra runs came true. Bottom line is, NYM bats have had a total of three base-runners since that 2nd inning bases-loaded/one-out situation -- and two of them promptly got their asses picked-off.

    bmfc1 wrote: Parnell is a sack of shit. The error wasn't his fault but everything that happened is on his watch. He should never be used past the 7th inning or when the lead or deficit is 5 or more. Then cut him from the team and get someone else in here. Got anyone in mind?

    They haven't hit a ball hard yet and are on their way to a seven run inning. The only ball they hit hard all game in fact was a 311-ft liner by a guy who should never have come to bat but somehow accounted for two runs.
  21. Frayed Knot
    They're simply giving this game away. It's only a matter of who hits the go-ahead HR this inning, not if.

    [bigpurple:2ptaklwf]YES[/bigpurple:2ptaklwf] Chalk one up for Terry's shifting.

    Two shitty grounders sandwiched around an opposite field slice and this is still a dangerous inning.

They should have sung 'God Bless America' during that dumbshow and gotten it over with. Except that stadium security would have come out an tackled the trainer on his way out of the duguout for his failure to keep still during the recitation.
