IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

Centerfield Apr 22 2011 07:42 AM

Kevin Burkhardt: CF, great IGT win again last night. Tell me how you were able to get the job done tonight. CF: Well Kev, it's simple really. Just had a gameplan, thought about what I wanted to do beforehand, you know, caps lock for the "IGT", numerical date, and then just sit down and execute my typestrokes. KB: The team is 4-1 when you start the IGT, 2-12 in all other games. How have you been so successful this year when the other posters are scuffling a bit? CF: You know, I just don't think about, you know, the other guys. It's my job to go out there and be the stopper and that's what I'm doing. KB: There's been some rumors that this has caused friction between you and your fellow posters, is there any truth to this? CF: No, not at all man. I just want to win. I'm all about winning. You know me, I'm not a selfish center kind of guy. I just go out there and win. KB: There's been some criticism that you don't go deep into your threads. At one point last night, Ashie had three straight posts, some heavy lifting by Edgy and LFWS... CF: Look, I get the job done. Ok? Are those guys 4-1? I don't think so. KB: Of course. Thanks CF, guys, back to... CF: And you know what, I heard the crap they were saying about me being one-dimensional and all, you know what? I'm not here to predict the NCAA, or guess classic rock. Ok? So what I don't take any fucking pictures. All that shit was going on, and here we are and I'm the only one winning. I'm all about the wins. Always have been. Are they the King? No, I'm the fucking King. MY NAME IS MY NAME.

Really, I was a little "bleh" about Marlo/Jamie Hector as a character/an actor right up until that holding cell scene. I'd thought him menacing enough, but not with any sort of depth or energy-- he was just sort of spookily blank until he took that slight personally. Some King Lear-quality raging, there. Ejection notwithstanding, I'm still waiting for Terry's "My Name Is My Name" moment.

Two starts in a row for Nickeas. A reward for his Homeric greatness yesterday? Something up with Thole?

Edgy DC Apr 22 2011 02:11 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

Trying to give him a litle more protection against lefties, I guess.

Generous scoring prevent Pridie from getting an error on his first play.

Ashie62 Apr 22 2011 05:13 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

Shoulda been an error on Pridie for the bobble.

Yeppers.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 22 2011 05:48 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

Bay double makes him something like 7-for-9 lifetime against Saunders. OE: 5-for-9, with 2 HRs, a walk, and that double.

bmfc1 Apr 22 2011 05:54 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

And that's what happens when you call up a guy hitting .196 in the minors.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 22 2011 05:56 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

Walk to Nickeas leaves two on with two out, and sets the stage for a potentially-auspicious Orville debut. He demurs.

G-Fafif Apr 22 2011 05:58 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

Wright drops a popup and Young looks worse for not Baying it to second. Yes, Jason Bay is synonymous with hustle.

I thought Pridie was here for defense. In other news...David with a little league error was horrible, but Nickeas picking him up with the caught stealing was great!

Pridie is 1-3 in CF.

Pelf still looks uncomfortable, but he's pitching well.

Huge opportunity to not bunt here.

Agreed on the pen. Somebody like Takahashi-- lefty screwballer with control-- would be the perfect complement to the other three, no?

This is pitch #9 for Murphy... and it looks like t'was a ball. And there's the hit. He has to have seen something like thirty pitches tonight.

Edgy DC Apr 22 2011 07:51 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

Three straight potential ball-fours fouled off and Murphy finally gets a hit by not bunting.

Gwreck Apr 22 2011 09:28 PM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

You know what the key play was? David Wright leading off the bottom of the 7th, fouling off several pitches on the 3-2 count before getting the walk. That's how rallies start. Frigid night at Shea but everything seemed a little warmer after the homer. Was obvious to me from 450+ feet away that the ball was a homer but I guess the default call is to go with the "in play" call and just fix things with the replay afterward. Funny moment in our section after the Wright error and Nickeas throwing Young out stealing, as a fan yells "Wright now owes Nickeas a case of beer!"

Was NOT obvious from TV (or maybe I'm just stupid) and challenging the call didn't even occur to me until Terry came trotting out of the dugout. Once the slo-mo replays ran it was clear it was a HR and so there was little suspense waiting for the umps. Lotsa nice ABs from Wright in the last two nights.

Rockin' Doc Apr 23 2011 09:50 AM Re: IGT - 4/22/11 Diamondbacks at Mets

When I first saw the replay in game speed I would not have even questioned that it was a home run. Pretty obvious though when you watch it in slow motion. That's why I hate lines on the outfield walls. Just put the damn fence where you want it to be, then if it is over the wall it is a home run, if not, too bad.
