We don't believe in comebacks?
We don't believe in Santana?
We don't believe that this team is any damn good after all?

Being a half game out of first on the third of May without Carlos Beltran is more than anyone expected when this season started. And tomorrow (today, really) we get Ike Davis back in the lineup, whom the Mets apparently can't win without.

I'm a bit loath to steal KTE thunder, but here's a little background on tonight's Commie hurler: Pinko Mike Leake made six AFL starts, but otherwise, he's done no minor-league labor at all. High-80s/low-90s fastball with natural cut/movement, decent slider, solid change, with good control/command. After two Sunday-in-the-park starts-- plenty of pleasant walking-- he's settled down to beat the Doyers and Astros with just 16 baserunners allowed in 14 innings. Most importantly, he's new to us... so think optimistically, and hope that the three total Met hits tonight all leave the park.

It's 1-1 in the top of the second. Ollie gave up a home run, and Frenchy just knocked in Ike (who reached on an error). This IGT suxx so far....

Two outs and a runner in scoring position? Walk the catcher and go after the pitcher. That always works.

Crappy turnout at Riverfront II. The Reds announcer, while trying to exonerate Reyes' name, is incorrectly reporting that Reyes was investigated during the offseason by the FBI.

That inning illustrated why Castillo should precede rather than follow Reyes. If the batters (and events) were reversed, the Mets don't score, and strand runners on first and second.

If I'm Baker, I'm not sure that I don't stick with Leake to hit there even if I'm pulling him come the end of the inning. 'Cause Cairo wasn't very good offensively before he hit Social Security eligibility. Of course, if I'm Baker, I'm pissed every time I see a slow guy walk, because I think of him as a "base clogger."

Credit to Jerry for a) opting for Pedro on account of Votto leading off the inning and b) not yanking Pedro in the face of a string of righty sticks Maybe he's learning not to play the L/R game just because you can. Now all Pedro has to do is get out of the inning and not make both of us sound stupid.

Jason Bay's first year as a Met reminding me an awful lot of Carlos Beltran's. Which is not good.

|
| Rockin' Doc May 03 2010 08:39 PM Re: IGT, @ Reds, 5/3/10 |
|
Damn. I was really hoping Jose would run during Bay's at bat to put some pressure on the Reds defense. Then hopefully he would be in scoring position ofr Bay and Wright. Ultimately, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the inning, but I like to see the Mets be aggressive and force the issue when they have the chance.

|
If I was the all-powerful Commissioner of Ball, I'd change the save rule to require the pitcher to enter the game with a lead of 12 runs or more in order to get the save. I'd do this just to see how many idiot managers would end up using their highly-paid closers only three times a year.
|
| John Cougar Lunchbucket May 04 2010 07:46 AM Re: IGT, @ Reds, 5/3/10 |
|
I don't like the whole approach either but I'm gonna come out and say the Mets were doomed to lose this game not by any decision of the manager but by a shitty offense and an ineffective bench.
|
| Frayed Knot May 04 2010 07:46 AM Re: IGT, @ Reds, 5/3/10 |
|
[quote="metirish":mth90h23]K-Rod is still warming up though.....[/quote:mth90h23] Well sure, gotta have him ready to close the game in case the Mets score in their half. Unfortunately they didn't and federal law prevents him from being used otherwise. I'd like to think that Jerry was figuring to use Acosta to get through the bottom of their lineup rather than going w/KRod against their weakest hitters and then have to PH for him the next inning. He could have even stuck with Pedro for one more go around although the LHB Nix was a PHer and probably wouldn't have batted if PF was still in. Then he could use Rodriguez - whether the Mets scored or not - to not only face the meat of the Cincy lineup but also probably for two innings as the NYM pitcher's spot was unlikely to come up the next inning. Of course to think like that I'd have to ignore Jerry's usual tendencies.

It's one game. There's another one tomorrow. And the Phillies still represent a town full of mouthbreathing, murderous neanderthals, whose native cuisine is fucking beef hash. Congratulations on winning the weekend, Non-Fucking-World-Champions. Now let's fuck up Ohio. Give me the damn ball.
