Mets jump out to a 2-0 lead on a double by Reed, a triple by Valdez and a single by Schneider. I don't believe it either.

Either Ian Snell is leaving pitches over the plate, Wilson Valdez is surprisingly strong, or Jeremy Reed is the world's finest sign-relayer.

Heckuva play by Murphy, getting LaRoche at second on a little bouncer. Never expected him to go there, and apparently LaRoche didn't either. Wonder if Schneider was yelling for him to go there?

I'm not sure why, but Wayne Hagin has an almost-irrational fondness for Freddy Sanchez (lifetime .303 avg, .339 obp and less pop than, say, Cristian Guzman) as a hitter. He's referred to him on several occasions-- including a few times during the home Pirates series-- as "one of the better hitters in this league."
|
| Swan Swan H Jun 01 2009 07:25 PM |

Feliciano breezes through the seventh on two swinging Ks and a rocket by Sanchez that nearly decapitates Valdez.
|
| Swan Swan H Jun 01 2009 07:27 PM |

Sanchez might be the fourth best position player in the Bucs lineup, but that batting title he won, as soft as it was, will stick in a lot of people's minds. Marketeering 101. Unfortunately, one of those minds is a big league radio broadcaster.

It's this "Putz is our 8th inning guy" mentality. The problem is that he's only the 6th or 7th best reliever on this staff (however many guys there are in the pen).

Sometimes at Shea instead of Pittsburgh, but yes. There was a thread about it where I documented them but I can't find it. Seems to me it happened during the offseason but it's gotta be in the archives somewhere.

- while most of the blame for this one will come down (and deservedly so) on Putz, do note that we also got no-hit from the 4th inning through Tatis's bloop single in the 9th.

I was stomping an insect infestation in my house. I tuned in just in time for the bunt, and it made me feel like a loser.
|
| Frayed Knot Jun 02 2009 09:41 AM |

One could argue, I suppose, that he did bring in the effective mid-relief guy (Parnell) at the time when 'the real save' might occur: 6th inn, 2-on/2-out, 2-run lead and he got out of it (IF single - K).
|
| Nymr83 Jun 02 2009 09:48 AM |
|
Parnell was certainly brought in at the right time (you could even argue that K-rod, as your "best reliever", belongs in the game there), but he should have been left in for the 8th.
|
| Edgy DC Jun 02 2009 09:49 AM |
|
With a two-run lead, yeah, I'd at least let Bobby give up a baserunner.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 02 2009 09:53 AM |
|
Other than the fact that Putz has been struggliong and was possibly overworked and underconfident, I didn't have a problem with how Jerry played it necessarily.
|
| Swan Swan H Jun 02 2009 09:58 AM |
|
|
I agree in concept that Parnell could have gone longer, but he was in the sixth, not the seventh. The seventh set up really well for Feliciano with two lefties, and he got through it 1-2-3.
|
| Edgy DC Jun 02 2009 10:00 AM |
|
Parnell, though, had thrown only 11 pitches. And Stokes was another option in the eighth, as was (ta-da!) Rodriguez.
|
| Fman99 Jun 02 2009 10:01 AM |
||
|
I'd love to see Stokes get his shot. He's also a righty that can throw gas, but he's got much better 2009 (and 2008 for that matter) numbers. Leaves Takahashi as a 2nd lefty/swingman and Putz where he belongs -- out in a field somewhere, being fucked by ten goats, and wondering why a bunch of smart assed Mets forum dorks hate him so much. Tim Redding can keep him company.

I'm with you, Swanny... although roughly 1/3rd of my baseball brain is screaming, "Unless he's getting shelled, he should be getting a sore arm!" Apart from the 8th inning bunt, and possibly using Stokes-- who may be the most efficient guy in that pen (check the pitches-per-inning stats)-- instead of worn-out Eighth Inning Guy, I've got no problem with Jerry's workings last night.
