OK, I missed the game up to this point (top 7). Can someone explain THIS to me? - Schneider flied out to center. - A. Hernandez walked. - Figueroa lined out to first, Hernandez to second ?!? - Pagan walked. - Castillo singled to center, Hernandez scored, Pagan to third. - Wright struck out swinging The Wright striking out part I understand

I've had the game on since the beginning, but my laptop has been in the way. Can't help with details ... but I got the lineups up!

I seemed to have missed that play too. May as well wonder why Beltran swung and popped up on a 3-0 pitch again. OK, rally in the 9th here. Let's overcome Frankie's insurance run at least.

Few things were more predictable than Frankies insurance run....

Didn't mind Beltran swinging so much there as the fact that he just swung at a shitty pitch. They were gong to bring the LHP in to face Murphy after that so it may have been their best opp to get in the run. It would be just a fitting tribute to the season if they got one run this inning yet still lost on account of Frankie's run.

FK: It would be just a fitting tribute to the season if they got one run this inning yet still lost on account of Frankie's run <<< And if it was a HR by Sheffield.

Well that's that ... 9 games left unless they gotta make up some rain game I can't think of.

I still want to find out how a liner to 1st moves a runner to 2nd.

Likely an online play by play misprint?

I apologize for being absent from these games. The gym is absconding with my evenings.

I was there. One more to go this season but this one clinched a losing record for me at Citi Field this season. The Figueroa play is just an error; should read "grounded out sharply" to first. Beltran swinging 3-0 was not my first choice, either. I also question the wisdom of using Tatis instead of Sullivan with runners at 2nd and 3rd, righty on the mound and 1 out. Note that Jerry pinch hit for Valdez in the bottom of the 9th with Hernandez out and Tatis already used. If the Mets had to go to extras, it seems pretty clear that Murphy is moving to the left side of the infield. I guess Wright plays SS and Murphy 3B, and Reed (or Thole?) would play first. His hits notwithstanding, Schneider had a lower OPS than Figueroa when this game started. Seriously. In my hoping that this is the last time I see him play (in person), I'll note that it always bothered me that when the game would start, the first thing Schneider would do after getting behind the plate would be to erase the freshly-painted lines of the catcher's box. I don't see many catcher's balks called these days so I was never sure what he was afraid of.
