Reyes Matsui Beltran Floyd Wright Jacobs Diaz DiFelice Glavine Winn Vizquel Neikro Alou Fonie D. Cruz Linden Matheny Schmidt

Bret Sabermetric Aug 27 2005 03:59 PM

"Fonie"'s pretty good. I used to spell it "Phonzie"but I like your way better. You maybe want to retitle this with an IGT somewhere in there to help out the archivist?

OlerudOwned Aug 27 2005 04:20 PM

Mets go 1-2-3 in the first, including another ugly Kaz whiff

OlerudOwned Aug 27 2005 04:22 PM

After a stirring photo montage (eh), Niekro strikes out to end a 1-2-3 first.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 27 2005 04:32 PM

Jake DP to HR ratio 1:1

Johnny Dickshot Aug 27 2005 04:33 PM

I was thinking using "IGT" was so 1998.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 04:35 PM

Johnny Dickshot Aug 27 2005 04:42 PM

Yeah, hit it right at him. Replay showed Floyd was prolly safe.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 04:44 PM

2 doubles off Glavey? Thats not good. Gives up 2. I hope he settles in. And the Met bats continue to make some noise.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 05:01 PM

Yea Reyes. These are like gold in fantasy baseball.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 05:08 PM

the Mets answer back with one. Now Glavine has to settle, get his worki in, and we have to get those bats crackin. I really wish Beltran would step up and do something today. We need to hear from his bat. If he dont contribute during this road trip, he will never hear the end of it.

OlerudOwned Aug 27 2005 05:34 PM

Top of the order due up to start the 6th, and we need some hits. Only 2 for the game, but we're still in it. 2-1 Gigantics.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 05:36 PM

We're actually getting some dececnt swings off of Schmidt--they're just not falling in--Diaz, Jacobs, DeFelice & Beltran have all hit it pretty well. Hopefully we'll keep it up and not get overanxious. They're bound to start falling in . . . Glavine looks pretty good so far. Good location and he's getting those outside pitches called strikes.

I dont get that analysis from MLB Gameday online, so the old "looks the same in the box score" cliche is in place. Either way, heres hoping the hits start coming.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 05:38 PM

Add Matsui to the column of guys who hit the ball well but right at people. Argh, this is frustrating. It doesn't seem like Schmidt's all that and a bag of chips today but he's totally shutting us down. And Beltran with a single to right.

OlerudOwned Aug 27 2005 05:43 PM

Grr...Floyd cant set up Wright, instead grounding out to end the top of the 6th

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 05:47 PM

Schmidt with 89 pitches through 6. We get one, maybe two more cracks at him before we get into their pen, which is pretty solid. Again, I think he looks pretty hittable today, so let's make these at bats count, boys! But first, keep it close, Glavine . . .

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 05:49 PM

Thanks for listening, Tommy--way to set em down 1-2-3! Only one more out, and Glavine gets 2006 guaranteed. Now it's up to the heart of our order--Wright, Jacobs, Diaz.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 05:51 PM

No, seriously, David, make your at bats count. (he fouls out to first)

Now it's up to the heart of our order--Wright, Jacobs, Diaz. yea....a.side from that one inning with the 2 doubles Glavines been fine. No walks. Economically thrown 76 pitches. And Shmidt is not pitching as overpoweringly good as he can. But good nuff so far. Mets should get to him b4 we see the SF pen. At least tie it.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2005 05:57 PM

That strike 3 to Diaz was about 8 inches off the plate!!

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 05:59 PM

]That strike 3 to Diaz was about 8 inches off the plate!! No shit! I yelled at the sreen for long enough that my girlfriend had to leave the room. Motherfucking umps.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2005 06:02 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 27 2005 06:03 PM

I wanted to leave Glavine in for the bottom 7th but ya gotta PH here. Yo Steve Lyons ... STFU about Glavine and the contract deal. It wasn't funny the first time and it doesn't get better when you repeat it 8 more!!

Edgy DC Aug 27 2005 06:02 PM

Don't do that to your girlfriend. Mike DiFelice is a walking fool, and he will taste his first Schaefer today. Marlon Anderson on and looking to tie it as a pinch-hitter. It's 2-0 at the time of this posting.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:04 PM

3-0 to Anderson and no one's up in the SF pen. Runners at 1st & 2nd.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:04 PM

tieing run 180 feet away. Glavines done for the day. Comeon Marlon lil bingle would do it.

Edgy DC Aug 27 2005 06:04 PM

He walks. Bags jammed for Reyes.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:05 PM

Edgy DC wrote: Don't do that to your girlfriend. She was laughing at me as she left, so it wasn't quite so bad. Anderson walks on 4 pitches, and Reyes takes the first pitch--sinker for a strike.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:06 PM

2-1 now. Keep up the patience, Jose.

GYC Aug 27 2005 06:07 PM

What was Reyes doing?!

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:08 PM

Motherfucker. This game now officially sucks. Jose pops up to the second baseman. He got a pitch to hit on 2-1--fastball about belt high--but couldn't catch up to it after 3 breaking balls. Damnit damnit damnit. Now we have to get through their pen.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:10 PM

damn. We needed to plate one that inning. Well, it aint over yet. Padilla will pitch. We need a hold here.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:13 PM

a 7 pitch walk to start. OUCH.

GYC Aug 27 2005 06:15 PM

Another walk for Padilla. Was ahead 0-2 for both.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:15 PM

eech. And now he walks Fonzie after getting ahead 0-2.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:18 PM

alls we need is the ol triple play here. I mean, we ARE due for one a those, arent we?

GYC Aug 27 2005 06:18 PM

Nice play by Jacobs.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:20 PM

Cruz grounds out hard to Wright, who got the runner at second but there wasn't time for the DP. Then a squib to Jacobs, who charged and made a strong throw to make Alou a dead duck at the plate. Nice play by Jacobs.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2005 06:21 PM

Alou's still a great hitter but fortunately for us he can't do much of anything else. He got a terrible jump there.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:21 PM

wow....thats twice the Mets cut down a runner at home in 2 days. was that a possible DP ball?

Johnny Dickshot Aug 27 2005 06:22 PM

That was an exciting inning for Padilla.

GYC Aug 27 2005 06:23 PM

Zvon wrote: wow....thats twice the Mets cut down a runner at home in 2 days. was that a possible DP ball? Too slow. And Padilla K's Matheny to get out.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:24 PM

The one to Wright wasn't really--it was hit hard and started to eat up Wright, but he got it out of his glove pretty quickly and the throw to Matsui was a bit off. If he made a better throw, maybe, but Cruz is pretty quick. DeFelice had to tag out Alou, so nothing doing there. Padilla K's Matheny on a nice sinker to get out of the inning! Gutsy job by Padilla, who REALLY shouldn't have lost Fonzie. Alou, maybe, but Fonzie's a shell of his former self now.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:27 PM

Schmidt threw 111 pitches. he done. Damn. Lets crack their pen. I dont care if they say its a good pen. Smack dat ball.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:28 PM

Eyre in and he K's Matsui to start the inning. Now would be a good time to get hot, Carlos.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:30 PM

I don't think Carlos likes being told what to do. He smacks a liner to left for an out. Floyd pops it up to end the inning on the first pitch. Well, ladies and gentleman, things don't look good for the Metropolitans. I think Reyes' bases loaded popup will be the turning point of the game for us.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:33 PM

shit. yea, one clutch hit and ill shutup about beltran for at least a 4 day period. But he has to get a groove. Now is the time for all good hitters to........blahblahblah. So we got Wright , Jacobs, & Diaz to start the 9th. Could be worse. they are all hot bats lately. Lets start our MetMantra thing for hits in the 9th.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:33 PM

Two outs for Padilla, then a single past Matsui for Vizquel. It'll be Benitez in the ninth.

Johnny Dickshot Aug 27 2005 06:35 PM

WRIGHT JACOBS DIAZ The Holy Trinity. Let us pray.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:35 PM

And Niekro pops up to Diaz to end the inning. Pretty solid performance for Padilla, all in all. Come on, Mets. Let get something going!

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:39 PM

The Father strikes out looking on a high cutter. Up to the Son and the Holy Ghost now.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:40 PM

Fuckshit. This game sucks. "Vintage Jason Schmidt" my ass. He didn't get past 92 mph all night and we hit everything pretty hard. AND he only had 4 K's while walking 5. He got lucky. Come on, Diaz.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:41 PM

And the Holy Gost doubles down the left-field line. Mere mortal Jose Offerman in to pinch hit for DeFelice.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:42 PM

double for Diaz :)))))) aint over yet. It would have bugged me if benetez 1-2-3rd us

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:44 PM

OFferman tries to hit a home run and misses completely on a fast ball by Benitz. 3-2 count.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2005 06:45 PM

Woodward to hit rather than Castro? Ramon has to come in anyway.

GYC Aug 27 2005 06:45 PM

Woody! Come on Woody!

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:45 PM

And he walks. Woody in for Padilla.

seawolf17 Aug 27 2005 06:45 PM

Nobody I'd rather see in this spot... than Chris Woodward.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:47 PM

a walk! okay, this is gross, but its the 1st pic i could find of crossed toes

GYC Aug 27 2005 06:47 PM

Screw Benitez.

Frayed Knot Aug 27 2005 06:48 PM

SHITFUCK!!!!

Johnny Dickshot Aug 27 2005 06:48 PM

bleh.

seawolf17 Aug 27 2005 06:49 PM

Hey, if you'd told me we last Sunday that woulda gone 5-1 in the first six games of this trip, I'd have taken that.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:49 PM

Well, this game was frustrating. Schmidt didn't have good control and looked very hittable but we couldn't get anything going and wasted a good outing by Glavine. sigh. Tomorrow's yet another MUST WIN game.

Zvon Aug 27 2005 06:51 PM

well, good game people. We were in it to the last pitch. I really wanted this game and the streak to continue, but Ill take what they give me. Phils lost, Fish won, Asstros play tonight. Now we go out tomorrow and start a new winning streak.

metirish Aug 27 2005 06:54 PM

Benitez gets save # 250 of his career, looks like the Mets left the hot bats in the desert, or more likely they have come up against better pitching.

Rotblatt Aug 27 2005 06:55 PM

I gotta say, having Reyes (.30? OBP), Matsui/Cairo (.29? OBP) & Beltran (.32? OBP) in a row at the top REALLY doesn't do much for me. Reyes, Beltran, Wright, Floyd, Diaz, Jacobs, Castro, Cairo/Matsui makes a lot more sense. Especially since Beltran has never hit for average and is not hitting for power now either. His only game right now is getting on base and running.

Iubitul Aug 27 2005 08:00 PM

I'm thinking that the Manchurian Brave* couldn't stand being this close to the Braves.... *© Jason - FAFIF

ScarletKnight41 Aug 27 2005 11:46 PM

Well, you can't expect a Trachsel-esque pitching performance every game....
