Will Hisanori be Tak'tor K or make a Taka-hash out of things? Tune in tonight at 7 and find out.

But what station is it on? MASN right? What channel is that? Do I have to find the MASN2 station since the Nats are also on it? Why am I going to Baltimore but only going to the Sunday game? hmm...I know, I'll just go to a bar. They'll tune to it for me.

Re: IGT 6/12/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Keep This Up

I don't have a problem with that move.
He's been playing a good 3B lately but Tatis has had fewer ABs than anyone who's been on the team the whole season and you need to keep guys like that in use if you expect them to be the best RH bat off the bench.

Matusz is a highly touted prospect for the O's and, although he's had a tough time getting going so far, this is still the worst pitching match-up for us of the three games.

Re: IGT 6/12/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Keep This Up

Just about everyone in the park screwed up this half-inning
- Jerry shouldn't have had Reyes bunting
- Tejeda should have scored on Pagan's single
- Wright hits into a perfect DP ball on the first pitch
- but then Lugo screws up the relay and the Mets score anyway


Just when you think there's nothing left to screw up, there's always Julio Lugo in reserve

Reading what happened made it seem like so much good station to station small ball.

Only 4 hits off Tako.
How long can he go?

Turned this on as Reyes was getting picked off. C'mon, man ... break
for second and make them throw the ball at least instead of standing there
looking dumb. Little things like that aggravate me.

Ruben Tejada with a nice defensive play going far to his right and making the spin/throw. I don't want Castillo back.

Slappy was only hitting .241/.347/.277 himself, so i'll take my chances that Tejada can at least get to that level while providing better defense.

Well, right now Ruben is about .080/.120 points below those first two

Re: IGT 6/12/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Keep This Up

Is Francoeur hearing the footsteps [jogging, not yet allowed to be running] of Carlos Beltran and trying NOT to be supplanted by Pagan when Beltran gets back? competition based on superior merit rather than who stinks less would be nice around here!

Well, right now he's about .080/.120 points below those first two


and he has 2 XBHs to Castillo's 3 despit the AB differential of 6-1

I'll try to contain my excitement.

Look, if he takes this opportunity and runs with it nobody will be happier than me. But he's 20 y/o, has never been considered a 'can't miss' type of prospect, and is only up now because of an injury. Let him play everyday in the minors and hope he can take a job - either Castillo's or Cora's - next spring.

and btw, just tonight he's both screwed up a running play and K'd on a ball that bounced about a foot in front of the plate

Oooo I dig this one.

We listened to the last few innings on the way home from a family cookout tonight, and got home in time for the 9th. Nice to see them getting off of the road schneid, a trip to Baltimore helps.

Re: IGT 6/12/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Keep This Up

Good times in Charm City tonight. The park was teeming with Mets fans. I'd venture a guess at least a 50-50 split between fans, with Mets fans the more vocal of the two factions.

Couple of miscellaneous observations:
Rod Barajas warming up with Henry Blanco before the game by throwing knuckleballs.

Adam Jones of the Orioles is a *really* solid defensive player and reminded me of what it's like to watch Beltran patrol the outfield.

Remembering the Francisco-meltdown the last time the Mets were at Camden, I was genuinely fearful when Wieters strolled up as a pinch hitter.

Just got home after a brief stop here:

Re: IGT 6/12/2010 NYM @ BAL: You Gotta Keep This Up

I was at the game too. Last-minute decision made after monitoring weather reports. My second time at Camden Yards, and the first time since 1992. (I think this is a personal record for longest interval between visits to a particular ballpark.) We slept over in a hotel 7 miles from the park, near BWI and breezed home this morning on the empty highways. As stated above, lotsa Mets fans at the game. I didn't see a great variety of food choices once you got off Eutaw Street and into the actual park. Just a lot of sausages, pizza, hot dogs, nachos, and funnel cake. There was a "deli" on the upper level, but all they sold was pizza, hot dogs, sausages, and nachos. So much for getting a corned beef on rye with a pickle.

Where were the crabcakes? Did I somehow miss them?

Now that I've attended this game, I'm getting even more e-mails from the Orioles than I do from the Mets.

"Here's a recap of the game you attended!"

"Was there anything you forgot to buy?"

"We hope you had a great time at the game!"

I voluntarily signed up for Phils emails. They like to do sneaky last-minute type presales (such as for the possible play-in game in 2007) so I figured I'd get myself on the list just in case.
