Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets

I'm blaming Sam Champion if this game, or tomorrow is rained out. Pelfrey, it is your time to be the pitcher you are going to be. Tommy Hansen, I hope you slept poorly, ate hotel crap and have the shites. LETS

JCL: Gary said yesterday that yesterday's start (for the speedy Blanco) was because it was a day game after a night game and tonight's start is because of his success w/Pelfrey.
|
| Chad Ochoseis Apr 25 2010 02:52 PM Re: Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets |

It's looking more and more like Blanco is Pelf's personal catcher.
|
| LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 25 2010 04:13 PM Re: Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets |

That puts Pelf in some pretty good company.
It also kind of looks like Blanco could be Pelf's personal motorcycle customizer/"protection" specialist.

Good mound visit. "Mike, make him hit it to Jose. Kay? Good." Our man is at 76 pitches through three. Going to be tough for the penners to get warm on a night like tonight. But get warm they must.

So Pelf was throwing so many pitches to stall the game until he had five and the heavy stuff would be coming down, since they had the lead. Hmmmm. Unorthodox, but I'm not gonna argue with a guy with 24 scoreless innings.

Our press secretary has deluded himself into thinking the Nats will actually be good this year.

Think of the poor traveling Braves, blue. Why, Bobby Cox's jetlag is so pronounced, it has its own itinerary.

If Jerry had known the game was only going to go 5.1 innings, he'd have used four relievers in the fourth inning. He's going to bed tonight feeling that Feliciano got cheated out of an appearance! I'll take this win and like it!

I may be the only person around who does, but I always enjoy the Sunday night games. The announcement in the middle of the 3rd (?) inning floored me, when the Mets invited people to move down to any open field level (excluding the Delta Club seats) or Excelsior level seat. I can certainly remember games where the ushers have turned a blind eye to upgrades when there was bad weather/extra innings but never a specific invitation. Jayson Heyward this series: 1-9, 3 Ks and tonight a big GIDP. Nice job by the Mets pitching.

Does one-pitch Valdes get credit for an appearance? Does Pelfrey get credit for a complete game? Can both credits be simultaneously possible? Marty Noble, be with me in my hour of need.

I was wondering the same thing. It seems like Frayed Knot has it right; the box score on MLB.com shows Valdes in the game, with one pitch thrown, but zero batters faced. That one pitch prevented Pelfrey from getting credited with a complete game/shutout. I'm not sure how to enter this into the UMDB... as a five-inning game, or a six-inning game. I'm leaning towards five.

| Gwreck Apr 26 2010 08:35 AM Re: Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets |

It's absolutely a 5-inning game, as no outs were recorded in the top of the 6th.
|
| Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2010 08:37 AM Re: Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets |

Maybe there was a rules change along the way that I missed or forgot, or maybe I never had it right, but I thought that any uncompleted innings would be dropped from the "official record" meaning that the aborted sixth inning would have been erased. Guess not!

That only applies if there is a lead change during the top half of an inning. (Of course, had the Braves hit a 2-run homer in the top of the 6th before the rain started, I would venture to say it would be extremely unlikely for the umpires to make it a rain-shortened 1-0 win for the Mets).

I think of last night as less of a national TV audience and more as a "national" "TV" "audience." It's passing strange in our marketplace when a product (Sunday baseball games) is delivered in a manner in which the producers (the players) don't prefer, and the consumers (the audience) don't prefer. I guess it's the void in the marketplace. Sunday evening is traditionally programming aimed at wimmens (made-for-TV dramas of women and families overcoming odds) and families (low-rated dramatic series featuring handicapped folk, western/prarie historical settings, and/or sisters), so there's less competitition for the male viewer. But, man alive, I should have gone to bed last night. I started like a half dozen Scrabble games during the game, figuring they'd keep me awake during the inevitable and inteminable rain delay. I started out in the lead in most of them but I trail most of them this morning. I feel for the Braves, I tell you what.

In these sort of situations (late game on getaway day), I wouldn't be totally opposed to giving the option to the traveling team of whether to play or to cancel. As it was, the Braves landed in St. Louis at 2:30 AM CDT this morning. I would be ok with going to them at 10:30 last night, showing them the radar and letting them choose to wait it out (probably until 12:30 AM or so) and play, understanding that they might not get to St. Louis until 5 or 6 AM, or take the loss and a few more hours of sleep.

| Benjamin Grimm Apr 26 2010 09:07 AM Re: Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets |

Well, a team always has the option to take a loss, don't they? Bobby Cox could have just pulled his team and headed for the airport, thereby forfeiting. (I don't know if there are any fines or other punishments for doing that, however.)

I think of Sunday night baseball as a placeholder for Football. ESPN wants people to think of Sunday night as a night for watching sports.
|
| soupcan Apr 26 2010 09:10 AM Re: Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets |

Isn't there a rule that a game or an inning cannot be started or restarted after 12:00am after a rain delay?
|
| Edgy DC Apr 26 2010 09:32 AM Re: Big Pelf Nite I.G.T. 4/25 Braves @ Mets |

The problem is that footballers don't have a game in another city on Monday. Howie and Wayne talked about it last night and Howie (I guess) mentioned that Tom Glavine spoke about how ending Sunday night games is always among the players' demands at CBA time, but always comes off the table, because the money is sweet. I suppose part of what helps sweeten that pot is that the few large market teams carry most of the water with Sunday night scheduling. It seems to me that it shouldn't be too much to ask, at least, that teams playing Sunday night games have a Monday off. But it seems instead that ESPN always picks their games after the schedule is made, and so day games are bumped to the evening.
