IGT, Sunday 4/25 Nats (Zimmerman) @ Mets (Ollie)

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2009 11:27 AM

Christ, I gotta listen to Rob Dibble for three and a half hours today? Ugh. Mets Reyes SS Murphy LF Beltran CF Delgado 1B Wright 3B Church RF Santos C Castillo 2B Ollie P =red]Nats Maxwell CF Belliard 2B R. Zimmerman 3B Dunn 1B Willingham LF Kearns RF Flores C Gonzales SS J. Zimmerman P

RBI triple for Delgado? Nice.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2009 11:36 AM

Dibble & the regular guy are hard to listen to. Bitching about the check swings to Reyes and Delgado called balls. The angle the ump has down the 3rd base line is obviously gonna be different than the angle the camera in the 3rd base dugout has; the angle that these guys are using to say Gerry Davis blew both of those calls. Delgado triples in a run (after he shoulda out on the blown strike call, mind you) and the Mets are up 1-nil.

Listen to the feed that OO gave us yesterday--

metsguyinmichigan Apr 26 2009 11:41 AM

Dammit, Ollie.

bmfc1 Apr 26 2009 11:43 AM

Dibble's an idiot. His hiring exemplifies the incompetence of that organization. Bob Carpenter is a cliche machine who knows nothing about baseball. I sync'd FAN, via mlb audio, to the TV.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 26 2009 11:45 AM

I don't think Ollie's gonna make it to the fifth inning. Stokes should start stirring now.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2009 12:06 PM

I have very little perspective right now.

bmfc1 Apr 26 2009 12:09 PM

We didn't have be subjected to this crap but our GM saw fit to resign Perez for 3 years. Nicely done Omar. Oh yeah, Jesus Flores was a Met property but Omar lost him in the Rule V draft.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2009 12:18 PM

I still love Ollie, though one day years from now, I may be reflecting on my drinking problem and trace it squarely back to so intently watching his starts. Mets look like poo-poo today.

Ashie62 Apr 26 2009 12:19 PM

Time to put Parnell into the Rotation somewhere, the kid throws gas and seems mature. Anyone for sitting Beltran or Wright for a day each in hopes of waking up the motley crue?

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2009 12:36 PM

Fill 'er up.

Frayed Knot Apr 26 2009 12:51 PM

Well, for those who said there would never be a HR hit to CF in this stadium, you're wrong. Of course we're still waiting for the first NYM HR up there, but at least we now know it's possible. ]Anyone for sitting Beltran or Wright for a day each in hopes of waking up the motley crue? Umm, no.

bmfc1 Apr 26 2009 12:51 PM

Can they send Ollie to Buffalo? With a day off this week, they could skip his turn, call up Figueroa, and give him the start a week from Tuesday.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 26 2009 12:54 PM

Well, Wright could use something. Nice big huge dozen car wreck at Talladega.

In the [url=http://cranepoolforum.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=11439]"Shake it up, baby"[/url] thread, the Rubin article sez both Ollie and Pelf have options, though Omar's said nothing is likely to come from that shake-up talk. That was said before today's 8-car pileup in Queens, though.

bmfc1 Apr 26 2009 12:59 PM

Thank you Seo. Gotta be done. And isn't it a pleasure to watch Murphy learn how to play the OF in the bigs? He seems to be a good guy and we know he has a good bat but they could have had Dunn for next-to-nothing. He can't field either, but we know he'll hit 30 homers.

Frayed Knot Apr 26 2009 01:10 PM

Ollie has options - meaning they wouldn't have to risk waivers by sending him down - but also, I believe, enough seniority to where he could refuse to be assigned there.

Kong76 Apr 26 2009 01:18 PM

bm: And isn't it a pleasure to watch Murphy learn how to play the OF in the bigs? <<< Yupİ, for me it's a pleasure of sorts. Kid's a hard worker, and we've seen some of that hard work pay off.

Even so, but anything is better than having him crap the bed every start in the bigs. I'd rather have him sent down ala Traschel and Fresno Jones than demote him to the pen.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2009 01:31 PM

Murphy in the first, falling down like that, reminded me of Todd Hundley. I'd like to thank my daughter's friend Brina for having her birthday party today. If my daughter hadn't had that party to attend, we'd be at Citi Field today. Thanks Brina! Oh, and I'm so tired of Oliver Perez. Throughout the winter I wanted anybody else instead of him, and he's done nothing to change my mind. I wonder how Randy Wolf is doing?

bmfc1 Apr 26 2009 01:32 PM

Kong--he's gonna be a good one but, when it's 8 to 1 against the crappy Nats, in part because he messed up again on a ball hit over his head, I gotta wonder if they handled this the right way.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2009 01:32 PM

Agreed...Unfortunatly at this level trying your hardest isn't always good enough. He's not an OF..Prep him for 2B somehow or he may end up in the AL And I do believe a day off for Wright is now bordering on long overdue.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2009 01:45 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 26 2009 01:46 PM

Rob Dibble hates scouting reports. They're confusing and stuff for pitchers.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2009 01:45 PM

Perez's ERA is now 9.31. His chances of being Schaefer Mets Pitcher of the Month for April are rather slim. (Not that there's any suspense at all about who is actually going to win.)

Kong76 Apr 26 2009 01:47 PM

Ash: Unfortunatly at this level trying your hardest isn't always good enough. He's not an OF <<< Oh stop, I ain't preachin' trying your hardest yay yay stuff. They handed him the job, it's early in the the season, he's had some growing pains, he's shown flashes (the dp yesterday, for example), and they brought in Sheff who isn't ready to play the outfield everyday. Much more worried about the three year deal they handed to Ollie than if Murphy can learn outfield positioning and footwork.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 26 2009 02:04 PM

That sucked.

Edgy DC Apr 26 2009 02:27 PM

Shut down by the Nats after a single run in the first. I don't care if Soupy Sales is on the mound and Jerry Lewis in left. There's your issue. Nothing guarantees catastrophic errors so much as leaving yourself no margin for them.

metirish Apr 26 2009 02:37 PM

More than happy that I went to the Zoo and saw and smelled plenty of poop but at least it wasn't this poop of a game.

bmfc1 Apr 26 2009 03:04 PM

http://blogs.nypost.com/sports/mets/archives/2009/04/fossum_dfad_oll.html Goodbye Fossum. But what will going to the 'pen do for Ollie? They'll say that they'll skip his turn (off-day on Thursday) and will work with him for now.

="A Boy Named Seo"]Rob Dibble hates scouting reports. They're confusing and stuff for pitchers. In Dibble's world that's probably cool , didn't Bobby Valentine basically call Dibble a moron while he was manager of the Mets . IIRC Dibble questioned the toughness of Mets pitchers and Bobby told him to shut up. Ollie might be the last person I'd want coming out of the pen.

Just saw the lowlights of this game , Murphy falling down was a rough one...wow

metsguyinmichigan Apr 26 2009 07:16 PM

As bad as Ollie was -- and he was -- the second run did him him. We're not going to win many scoring one run no matter who is on the hill.

He thinks that the Nats have a chance to win 90 games this season: ="Rob Dibble"]The same people who said before the 2008 season that the Tampa Bay Rays who won 66 games in 2007 had no chance are choking on plenty of crow this year. The Rays went from 66 wins to 97 in one year and won the AL East; so why is it so hard to believe the Washington Nationals can't go from 59 wins to 92? That's how many wins The 2008 World Champion Phillies had when they won The NL East last season. If you still don't believe me, believe this: nearly 20 years ago right around this time in April, I was on a team that was 400-1 odds in Vegas to win the World Series.
