IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Centerfield Apr 23 2011 07:33 AM

Gee, I hope they get this one in today.

Chance for our first series win since the first series.

National Weather Service wrote: Today: Rain, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Patchy fog before 2pm. High near 58. South wind between 14 and 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Rain forecast for tomorrow, too. The Diamondbacks, I assume, don't come back to New York again this year, so there will be pressure to get the games in. Monday is an off-day for the Mets, but the Diamondbacks will be back in Phoenix to host the Phils.

I think they will. tomorrows forecast is not so spoony either.

TheOldMole Apr 23 2011 11:30 AM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Why starting Pridie two days in a row?

TheOldMole Apr 23 2011 11:57 AM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

How's it look for the game starting?

Gwreck Apr 23 2011 11:58 AM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

30-40 minutes to first pitch apparently.

Dillon Gee's warmup music: "Nuthin' but a G Thang."

Gwreck Apr 23 2011 12:55 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Excellent job by Bay there. 2-1 Mets on the RBI single.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 01:15 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

We might get an all-Chris Young matchup this series?

Gwreck Apr 23 2011 01:18 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Nope. Young starts on Tuesday in Washington.

Catch the ball Mets.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 01:43 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Two-out rallies are cool things. They're never interrupted by sacrifices either. But turning around and giving things back, and bouncing balls in the dirt against the opposing pitcher. That's not cool.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 01:47 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Gee can hack some, huh?

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 01:50 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Hey, Murphy's not bunting... again!

Ashie62 Apr 23 2011 01:53 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Just woke up from my personal rain delay theater. It looks like I missed some Bay & Ike fireworks and I see some unearned runs on Gee's line.. Sun trying to breakout here..

Nah. They did right.

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2011 02:15 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Reyes bunted - it was the wrong move - and it worked out well Murphy didn't - it was the right move - and it came up to bite us

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:21 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Smart moves are no guarantee, of course.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:22 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

'Lebben hits. We need more runzzz.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:26 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Only took a dozen hits to chase this guy.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:31 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Beato here?

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:35 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Wayne is a little suprised Hu isn't in for Murphy here. I'll side with Collins and restraint on defensive sub front.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:40 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Is this the first Esmerling the Mets have ever faced? I'm going to guess yeah.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:45 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

2-3-4 hitters coming up. The first and third batters are lefties. Stick with Beato? Switch to Byrdak? Run to Isringhausen? Fly to Rodriguez?

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:46 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Izzy. Hang in there.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:49 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

I figure if you don't go to a lefty, you should stick with the the Human Beatobox.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:52 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Montero. Tough call.

Gwreck Apr 23 2011 02:54 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Nice job by Isringhausen.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 02:56 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Tough call. You don't want to put the go-ahead on base, but you don't want to pitch to that guy. I guess they let Isringhausen choose.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 03:00 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Eh, I woulda stuck with Hairston. You need to keep some reserves in reserve.

Gwreck Apr 23 2011 03:05 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Excellent: insurance runs. NOW you can remove Murphy for defense.

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 03:09 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Nope. Murphy stays.

Ashie62 Apr 23 2011 03:11 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Hang in there Krod.

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2011 03:12 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

I kind of hope the ump said to Roberts; "take that stupid tattoo off your neck and maybe you'd get better calls" The D'Backs definitely brought their bloop bats today. What's that, about four of them now?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2011 05:52 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Small but plugged-in crowd today. More sustained spontaneous LGM chants than I can remember hearing at a Citi game. Even the climate was temperate-- 60ish with light breezes-- after the rain stopped. All in all, a nice afternoon, after the slop.

G-Fafif Apr 23 2011 06:00 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Promenade Club: When nowhere else will let you in. Should be its slogan. Waited out the rain delay at what's basically the Braniff Lounge, but it was perfectly fine. Guess it would rain until the dogs went home, but skies parted and it was a lovely enough day at Citi Field. Sat way out in right field, 403, accompanied by about twenty twentysomethings enjoying somebody's birthday which included not a flower cake but a flask of vodka. It was passed around enough so its impace on any one celebrant was diluted. Delighted in shouting at Enright that he's a MEDIOCRITY! even though my lingering rasp made me a mediocre heckler. I would've left Beato in for the eighth, but who's complaining? Kid's outstanding.

Congratulating Enright on his successful holding of Reyes at first (he threw over roughly 40 times) after JoseX4 made it to third on Wright's single, then chanting "B-P, B-P, B-P" at the Barry in the third. (I may have had a beer or two during the rain delay.) I would've left Beato in for the eighth, but who's complaining? Kid's outstanding. We were in RF, field-level, just a couple of rows back from the ballboy (hooray for depressed prices on the 'Hub!). We could see the downward bite on the kid's offspeed stuff from where we sat. Good God, he's good.

Having now sampled all of the clubs Citi Field has to offer, excepting the actual sit down and eat portions, I can say with some certainty. "eh".

Edgy DC Apr 23 2011 11:36 PM Re: IGT - 4/23/11 DBacks at Mets

Yeah, here's another vote for leaving in the Beato Farmer. Im all for using Beato and Izzy on alternated goes, if it can be effected.
