IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Centerfield Apr 02 2011 06:12 AM

Free Lucas Duda! Let's see what the big guy can do.

Ashie62 Apr 02 2011 08:13 AM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Sounds good to me. I only hope Wee Willie Harris isn't considered the "Hot Hand" after one game. I hope last night's listless effort was an abberation from what is to come.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 02 2011 08:30 AM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

At least he swung when Johnson left it out over the plate. With one or two exceptions, Met hitters appeared to be "patient" in the early-2010-Francoeur mold (take no matter what for the first two or three pitches, then swing at whatever the frig you feel like). Marlin hitters still saw a crap-ton more pitches than ours did per PA (with Coghlan and Buck seeing 5 per). Anyway...

Think Duda is sixth, otherwise same lineup.

Ashie62 Apr 02 2011 03:34 PM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Reyes 6 Pagan 8 Wright 5 Beltran 9 Davis 3 Duda 7 Emaus 4 Thole 2 Niese 1 McCulloughs tweets on Cashman & Feliciano are hiarious..

TransMonk Apr 02 2011 06:46 PM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Bonifacio threw behind a semi-wide turn by Thole. Thole stumbled and couldn't get back to the bag before the throw.

Then you probably didn't get detail on Carlos dropping a ball in foul territory. The D's been pretty sloppy so far.

Nymr83 Apr 02 2011 06:57 PM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Lets throw K-Rod out there for the bottom of the 8th. He'd be incentivized to get rocked and therefore "finish" the game.

I totally love how well Gary straddles the line between fan and impartial announcer. Little slips like calling Willie Harris "Lenny" a few innings ago, celebrating the second K in the bottom the ninth, etc. He's brilliant.

Part of me wants Boyer to strike out the side here in dramatic fashion, but I'd really not rather have that kind of closer drama. Boyer's beard is closer-worthy, though.

This thread is a blur of mid-eighties cinema, innit? Had the game on mute late: does anyone have any clue why the right fielder-- Cousins?-- let the potential Wright foul out drop in the tenth? (The potential tag-up of Reyes/Pagan? If that's it... that kid deserves some Landshark, or Sol, or whatever.)

If that's it... that kid deserves some Landshark, or Sol, or whatever.) If he catches that then Reyes takes 3rd easily with one out (and maybe Pagan takes 2nd and kills the potential GiDP). I've seen that before with a runner on 3rd that could win/tie the game but I don't think I've seen it only 1st & 2nd. If I'm on 'D' there I want the out - particularly with the other team's best hitter up there. But at least that one is a split decision call by a player. But how about Collins bunting Pagan to get Reyes over?!?!? Really Terry? And he kept in on after 2-0 count and still on 2-1. That it worked thanks to a wide throw doesn't make it a good play IMO. That Reyes can get there on his own and base stealers were 10-fer-10 against that pitcher last season makes it even worse. Really Terry?!?!?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 02 2011 08:56 PM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Even leaving aside that it's DAVID FUCKING WRIGHT at the plate to whom you're giving another strike, you take the out. Outs, even in a tie game in extras, are the most precious quantity. Though I kinda liked his leaving Boyer in to finish (only sticking point there: why get Byrdak up, then?), Terry's in-game management these last two games hasn't exactly been highlight-reel-worthy.

Frayed Knot Apr 02 2011 09:03 PM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Yeah, that's a more modest point but why bother to get Byrdak up if you're just going to let Boyer pitch to two LHBs? Plus it's not like BB was mowing them down without a hitch.

Edgy DC Apr 02 2011 10:17 PM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Anywutz, I guess we've answered the burning question of who is going to get booed on opening day.

And you likely end up walking Beltran if you catch that. So you can go after Hu and a pinch hitter. obviously that's a lot to take in as you're running for a pop-fly, but that's why you don't over think and just catch the ball. A bit of confusion between Emaus and Reyes and Beltran and Pagan tonight. Hopefully those things get ironed out. Who we got in RF tomorrow? Harris or Hairston?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2011 04:39 AM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Wow, Gwreck gives an Edgy-like response to Edgy himself. Interesting! Anyway, I too was a little surprised last night when Byrdak didn't come in to relieve Boyer and pitch to the lefty. Was Terry asked about that on the postgame? Also, I was thinking about how Johnny Lunchbucket often laments the Mets inability to tack on runs just before Willie Harris drove in two tack-ons, which proved to be very important. Nice to see. When Frankie was pitching in the ninth, and had the bases loaded after the score had been tied, I was anticipating the worst possible outcome: a Mets loss and a Rodriguez GF (game finished). Happily, we got neither. But if it was late in the season, and Frankie was at 54 GFs, might he have been tempted to intentionally throw a wild pitch? He was in a situation where the only way he'd finish the game was if the Mets lost. Here's a potential situation where a player can be rewarded with $17.5 million (!) for intentionally throwing a game! That possibility should be a huge red flag, I'd think.

Frayed Knot Apr 03 2011 05:34 AM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Yeah, well that's why incentive clauses based on most 'outcome' stats aren't allowed. ABs, PAs, appearances and the like are usually something that's out of a player's direct control. 'Games Finished' kind of falls into more of a gray area.

Centerfield Apr 03 2011 06:31 AM Re: IGT - 4/2/11 Mets at Marlins

Nice win, but I had some serious issues with [crossout:zjhmvuar]Willie[/crossout:zjhmvuar]Terry Collins in this game. Pinch-running Davis in a tie game? The speed of Hu ended up making no difference, but we missed Davis's defense in the bottom of the 9th (maybe Ike grabs the one that got past Murphy) and his bat in the tenth. If Harris doesn't tack on two runs there, who knows what happens. FK mentioned it, but bunting Reyes over with Pagan? BiFL. Plus, I've seen about enough of Rodriguez as closer. Time to make a switch to Parnell. I never realized how much an incentive clause would affect my rooting interest in a game.
