Those are complete lineups! What a day for a ballgame!

Let us laugh at Dane SardinHA!

I still want to know about Rachel.

we! Shall be victorious! I hope!

Fuck the Phillies!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 30 2011 10:05 AM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Maybe if Hamels were pitching! (He's prettier than most of my exes!) At least we'll have Tim McCarver for three hours today! We haven't seen him call a Met game since 2000 or so!

Fman99 Apr 30 2011 11:03 AM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE!

duan Apr 30 2011 11:26 AM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

good catch by Bay there and made a big difference!

duan Apr 30 2011 11:30 AM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

this'll be over before chelsea vs spurs is finished!

Gwreck Apr 30 2011 11:31 AM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

I don't like Roy Halladay.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 30 2011 11:52 AM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

i'm watching the game on my phone! In a German beirgarten! Jon Niese looks to be piching well! Let's Go Mets!

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 12:11 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Six hits but only one run. I'm starting to realize the genius of Roy Halladay isn't in avoiding damage but controlling it.

Gwreck Apr 30 2011 12:38 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

That and throwing about 80% strikes.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 12:46 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

We need more. This tightrope is a lot to ask of our defense and pitching.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 12:48 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Big departure for Terry to take his pitcher into the seventh of a one-run game. He opens the inning with only 79 pitches spent.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 12:49 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Tightrope collapses.

Gwreck Apr 30 2011 12:49 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Fuck

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2011 12:50 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

I was just about to posit the question about whether you let Niese lead off in the 8th inning were he to get out of this inning unscathed. Don't think it was going to happen anyway but it's a moot point now.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 12:58 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Now my question is why Buchholz is getting ready to come in. Top of the order, tie game, two on, one out, seventh inning, and we go with perhaps our number-four reliever.

duan Apr 30 2011 01:00 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

because you're hoping he gets the out and then you're expecting to replace him to lead off. And if he gets that out the Polonco, Rollins, Howard run is a lot tougher? there's not a lot of double switch candidates about is there? that's a problem.

duan Apr 30 2011 01:00 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

oops. i thought it was two outs.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 01:02 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Thank you, Juan Samuel.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 01:09 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

What's your name, son?

TheOldMole Apr 30 2011 01:10 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Murphy!

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 01:14 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

I'm not sure I approve of having Harris take two. Not with this pitcher. And Valdez does a Murphy imitation.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 30 2011 01:24 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Hey, it's only the eighth, and this game already feels over!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 30 2011 01:27 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Murphy, it's you! Again!

You like Wright running on Sardihna?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 30 2011 01:44 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

rats!

Ceetar Apr 30 2011 02:15 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

I know it's partially that I'm just frustrated that they lost, but I'm annoyed they pulled Niese.

Edgy DC Apr 30 2011 02:20 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Reallly? He was having a turrible inning. I just wish they went with a pitcher higher up on their depth charts.

I was hoping the Halladay out and the turning over the lineup would help him buckle down. I mean, he's the starter. that's his job. I was worried after the walk to the crappy catcher guy that maybe he was tiring a little bit, but he hadn't thrown a ton of pitches or anything either. Did he have flu symptoms this week too?

I think Buchholz is probably a better strike-out guy than Izzy at this point so I don't think it was a bad idea to go that route - or, by that reasoning, you could argue that Frankie is the guy to go to there although knowing it was a 2-out stint at most counters that. Of course we all know the real reason was that it was TB's "spot" to come in and not Izzy's or Frankie's, but that's a whole 'nother story. I had no problem pulling Niese after he went 1B then 4-pitch walk to the 7 & 8 hitters following the HR. We had a few chances, just didn't cash them in. Tough days for Ike & Bay.

Ceetar Apr 30 2011 03:04 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

My other thought that although Buchholz curve is different than Niese's, I might've went with something a little different than what they'd been seeing.

themetfairy Apr 30 2011 03:22 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

That sucked.

He may be a better pitcher than Buchholz, but he wasn't in that inning. Finding new life by striking out a trying-to-bunt pitcher after bowing to the seventh and eighth hitters and then turning over a lineup saturated with all-stars in the top half? Yeah, it could happen, but that's not where I put my chips. I go to Frankie, Beato, Isringhausen, in that order. Saving all three of them to protect three-run leads is malarkey. Use good pitchers to protect 1-1 ties also.

Frayed Knot Apr 30 2011 04:45 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

It's also not like Buchholz has been bad, so let's not be too quick to mock Terry for sticking too closely to roles while we make a similar one by assigning levels of 'goodness' too soon. TB this season = Less than a hit/inning; more than a K/iP; WHiP of under 1.1; 1.38 ERA; only one run allowed since opening day. Today he went: single, FO, GO (albeit on a nice play on that last one, but it just have easily could have been at someone and been routine) upon coming in a 1-out/2-on situation.

themetfairy Apr 30 2011 06:26 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

I did like the defensive lineup graphic they had on the scoreboard before the game -

Rockin' Doc Apr 30 2011 07:57 PM Re: IGT, 4/30: @ Phillies

Philadelphia, where Mets hot streaks go to die.
