Swan Swan H May 29 2009 05:18 PM

Pelf cruises through the first on a popup, a grounder and a whiff of Uggla.

Edgy DC May 29 2009 05:47 PM

A little trouble here in the second though.

Edgy DC May 29 2009 05:48 PM

And Beltran bails him out!

Swan Swan H May 29 2009 05:49 PM

I think the ump bails Beltran out. The ball appears to have hit the ground.

PiggiesTomatoes May 29 2009 05:54 PM

Looked like a trap. Too bad his good fortune didn't carry over to the AB.

OlerudOwned May 29 2009 06:18 PM

Omir Kaboom Santos. Where did this guy get that power from, holy crap!

Who is watching on SNY? Gary Apple is hyping a potential Met trade if we stay tuned for Sportsnite? Anbody know what he's referring to?

Hahn, I had heard speculation of Castro to Seattle for ??? One of the radio shows a few days ago - forget which. Could have been just a fan's mental gymnastics, so I'm taking it with more than one grain of salt. Later

Ashie62 May 29 2009 06:24 PM

Somebody is going. Hope it is Schneider. Jerry was speaking about how Castro might be able to play some 1B ROY Candidate Santos is staying put. Catching for the Mets this year and most likely next

Could have been just a fan's mental gymnastics, so I'm taking it with more than one grain of salt. The Mariners just lost Kenji Johjima. Maybe they'll give up Felix Hernandez for Ramon. I found this in the Staten Island Advance: Seattle newspaper reports indicate that the Mariners are looking to deal, and players like shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt and first baseman/DH Russel Branyan are on the market along with veteran starters Erik Bedard and Jarrod Washburn. But it would likely take more than Castro to land any of those players, particularly Bedard, who the Mariners acquired from Baltimore for Adam Jones (.357 average, 11 homers, 36 RBI) and pitcher Chris Tillman, who is currently 5-0 in Triple-A with a 2.13 ERA and 44 strikeouts and ranked as the No. 16 prospect in baseball.

Castillo looks like the guy who played for the World Champs in 2003.

seawolf17 May 29 2009 06:46 PM

By the way, you'll note that this Adam West character who's pitching for the Marlins falls nicely in line with the whole Curse of Jason Jennings that has haunted the Mets in recent years.

Edgy DC May 29 2009 06:50 PM

If you thought Omir Santos would be tied with David Wright in clouts at the end of May, raise your right hand. Then aise yourleft leg and hop in a circle.

metsguyinmichigan May 29 2009 06:56 PM

Omir certainly is making a case to stick around.

Edgy DC May 29 2009 06:59 PM

Good job, Big Pelf. Good job by Jerry sticking with him. Good time to pull him.

Swan Swan H May 29 2009 06:59 PM

Ooh, I don't like this move. Pelf had Uggla looking bad his first two times up, and he hits the fastball. I hope I'm wrong, but this matchup scares me.

I'm wrong, and I'm spectacular. Nice job by Parnell and Santos, that 2-1 slider had Uggla clueless on the 3-2 pitch.

Cohen brings up "catchers balk." I've heard the term, don't recall it ever being called.

I don't go for Cohen's reasoning on why to use Murphy. You want the best matchup to win there. You're not trying to get the lefty out of the game.

Kong76 May 29 2009 07:28 PM

I hate using the closer here after leaving the bases loaded.

Edgy DC May 29 2009 07:28 PM

Rodriguez ooks good, but why is in the game with Parnell only having thrown six pitches and pitcher due up next inning?

Edgy DC May 29 2009 07:32 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 29 2009 07:32 PM

He was out-- it's just that nobody knew it. (Sorta like the old "tree falls in the woods" bit, except if you had 7 cameras recording the unheard tree.) Oh, and you're f*cking out, Jeremy.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 29 2009 07:36 PM

FWIW: Philly just blew their own bases-loaded, one-out situation in the 7th. (Two big differences: they're still up on Washington, 5-4, and they didn't bunt to get the one out.)

At this point the Mets will trade Castro and eat a fat piece of that 2.5 mil they owe him in exchange for another live bullpen arm, or 5th starter candidate, methinks.

Great game. Love those pitchers duels where you're already in the 8th inning with less than two hours elapsed. Not given enough credit: Pelfrey. That's two outstanding starts in a row. The Ks are up as well. Beltran was jawing extensively with home plate umpire Angel Hernandez at the end of the third inning. Shines came over and got between them but Beltran was still giving it to Angel about his inconsistent strike zone. Jerry was very slow getting out there and I was surprised that Beltran didn't get tossed. I found the pitch that hit Tatis to be *very* suspicious, given that he'd ordinarily be walked to set up a DP with only one out. In what I consider a MAJOR victory (besides Omir Santos kicking ass), the "Eighth Inning Singalong" tonight was not "Sweet Caroline"... rather, it was "Meet the Mets." Bravo.
