IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

I know that it's the Second Spitter's turn, but I'm not sure whether he's awake and the game has already started. The Mets fail to score in the top of the first.

Didn't take long for Karros to tell us he played at Dodgers Stadium. Thanks, Eric.

Stupid crazy play for Reyes there.

FOX works in the Yankees, it's just funny, I ain't even complaining, just laughing they can't help themselves.

Bases jammed with Mets, one out in the fourth, time for Barajas to wake back up and knock some run in NOW!!

Barajas, you're fired.

Gwreck Jul 24 2010 03:42 PM Re: IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

I know it's hot and all but I've already seen three instances of a distinct lack of Met hustle: Reyes failing to field Furcal's single in the first; Castillo failing to run after Pelfrey's errant pickoff throw; and Pagan failing to chase after DeWitt's triple. Totally unacceptable.

Karros won his fantasy football league in the mid 90's with Kurt Warner at running back. Maybe I need to clean my ears?

Oh holy fuck! There should be a runner on first with one out instead of runners on the corners with nobody out!

I don't care if it's Furball vs Jamey Carroll, you can't be walking the bags loaded and leaving Ollie no room for error.

I actually liked the idea of Manual bringing Ollie in when he did. Just didn't like the IW but they shut me up. Now all we have to do is get a fucking hit sometime in the next hour or so and we may be OK.

Wow, the Dodgers pitcher has a higher ERA than Ollie does! I wish I could watch this, but I'm in a region where they showed the Phillies game instead. Like, who wants to watch that??

Good find, FK.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 24 2010 06:23 PM Re: IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

So, Frankie is the last pitcher remaining in the Mets pen. Which means that Oliver is probably in the game until the Mets have a lead that needs to be blown.

There are few things more baseballially terrifying than turning on the game for the first time and seeing Oliver Perez on the mound in the bottom of the 13th.

Zvon Jul 24 2010 06:31 PM Re: IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

Holdin K-Rod back for the save Jerry? WARM UP THE HOT SEAT! I guess you had to try to get as much as possible out of Ollie. And I would have to think situations like this is why he's still here. Wouldn't wanna use Dicky today. Can't gamble K-Rod might be needed for more than 2 innings. You're not supposed to go there. K, WARM UP THE LUKE WARM SEAT!

Zvon Jul 24 2010 06:36 PM Re: IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

Now that I think about it, I would have had K-Rod in for 2 before goin to Ollie. Maybe. Didn't get to see how things developed, but.... Well, water under my bridge.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 24 2010 07:50 PM Re: IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

Needing a baserunner desperately and facing two guys walking 4.4 and 7.1 BB/9 each, and sporting a cumulative WHIP dangerously close to 2, the Mets' 1-6 hitters saw 14 pitches total in the 12th and 13th innings. Yeah, the approach might be a bit off.

Gwreck Jul 24 2010 09:40 PM Re: IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

Those late (and extra) inning at-bats by the Mets were just AWFUL, save perhaps Pagan's walk off of Broxton. They looked (and played) like they had given up. Forget the strategy failures, or the lack of hitting or the long roadtrip, that's got to stop. I think struggles on a long roadtrip is a perfect example of the self-fufilling prophecy. Everybody looks at the schedule, sees 11 games on the west coast and automatically starts thinking about the travel, and the being-away-from-home and that of course, it's going to be tough and the team is going to do badly...and then set themselves up to do just that. I've had a fantastic time following around the team on this roadtrip but getting the chance to watch them up close for an extended period of time here has left me very unhappy in the effort and energy being put forth. Losses happen but what they're doing is unacceptable.

G-Fafif Jul 24 2010 10:46 PM Re: IGT 7/24/10 - Mets at Dodgers - Game On!

It's perilously close to 1991 out there. Mets left town in July in pretty good shape -- 53-38, 4 games out -- and came back from Cali with a 2-7 road trip in their back pocket. Lost their next five at home, managed two wins against first-place Pittsburgh and then endured another nightmare road trip to the middle East teams. One more loss followed and, bam, 57-61, 12-1/2 back, season essentially over. That's a 4-23 stretch. You can find all kinds of precedent like that in Mets history without looking very hard, sadly. They looked lethargic then, they strive for lethargy now.
