5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

A run towards .500 sees a couple of tall RHPs opposing each other at Citi -- details as they become available.

Pouring rain now and a rough forecast for the week.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 16 2011 08:17 AM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

Should be OK by gametime tho. Wet but a window.

Gwreck May 16 2011 08:28 AM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

I was fearful of a rainout but looking at the revised forecast I agree that tonight will get played. Tomorrow's game is now in jeopardy per the forecast (1-2 inches of rain on Tuesday).

Ceetar May 16 2011 08:37 AM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

This is going to be one of those games tonight with like 4 people (including me) in the stands because of the rain isn't it?

G-Fafif May 16 2011 01:51 PM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

Jose Reyes – SS Willie Harris – 3B Carlos Beltran – RF Jason Bay – LF Daniel Murphy – 1B Justin Turner – 2B Jason Pridie – CF Ronny Paulino – C Mike Pelfrey – RHP

metirish May 16 2011 01:52 PM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

Thank God , I was wondering who was going to play 3rd......

Gwreck May 16 2011 01:55 PM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

I wonder if this would be a stronger defensive lineup with either Turner/Murphy at 3rd and Harris at first.

G-Fafif May 16 2011 01:56 PM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

I wonder if a lineup like this gives Beltran flashbacks to his Royals days.

Never seen the shenanigans that the Mets are pulling here , Cohen actually said that the Mets might be trying to call this game for competitive reasons and that they probably can't play tomorrow either thus avoiding for now Johnson and Nalasco.......recap , about ten minuted before game time Alderson and Collins went to the Marlins manager and then to the infield and basically said no game as of now , no other info available.

Ashie62 May 16 2011 05:18 PM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

There is a forecast of rain for NYC with rain starting at 8 with 5 inches accumulating over 24 hours. This series is toast. This is MFY bullshit though.

Izzy strikes me as more overanxious than hung over. He's been rushing his fastballs and falling behind a few too many batters, but he got the outs tonight.

I didn't realize Dunn was a Yankee last year. That almost makes me feel better. At least Murphy made contact.

smg58 May 16 2011 09:02 PM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

Dunn was a Yankee prospect in 2009. He was traded to the Braves in the Javier Vazquez deal (snicker), and then traded to Florida with Infante for Uggla (he's the only one of three who's doing anything). K-Rod only took one pitch to get my ulcers going.

I can't see how Hairston and Hu still have jobs. Igarashi goes as soon as Beato comes back. Bay striking out with the runner on third and one out was what killed us, along with Igarashi's incompetence. He's a relief pitcher. You throw strikes (going down 2-0 to start the game was just terrible). Extra inning rain delayed losses SUCK.

seawolf17 May 17 2011 08:24 AM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

So glad I went all the way in and sat in the rain for this. A few thoughts: * So many seemingly ill-advised decisions by Collins last night: Pinch-hitting Hu (yes, Harris sucks, but Hu is worse -- screw the L/R matchup), taking O'Connor (who was dealing) out, bunting Bay (HE'S YOUR EFFING CLEANUP HITTER), etc. * If Wright wasn't available last night, then you needed someone there. You can't play short a roster spot. Looks like Bing and Buffalo were both far out of town last night (New Hampshire and Indianapolis, respectively), but still. And if Wright's there, shouldn't you hit him for Harris in the 9th? Or at least put him in the on-deck circle just for gamesmanship? Maybe? * Huge section (20-25 guys) of dickhead Marlins fans started getting noisy and obnoxious in the left field corner last night. Got kicked out of the stadium in the middle of the ninth. Argh.

Ashie62 May 17 2011 08:29 AM Re: 5/16/11 IGT - Marlins @ Mets

Ok, I'm gonna pin much of this on Bay. 1-7 now with runners on third and less than two out.Where has his bat speed gone. Walking Chris Cuckold for Hanley Ramirez..nuts Not using David to pinch hit? Prolly has to do with insurance. Pridie? When you actually want a bunt he looks like a totally wanker. Igarashi? Toodles. Bright side? Beltran, Turner, Pelfrey, Bullpen other than Igarashi.

You don't need a triple in that spot; all you need to do is get the ball out of the infield. And between Harris lefty-lefty, an injured David Wright, and Chin-Lung Hu, I choose Wright.

A few thoughts: * So many seemingly ill-advised decisions by Collins last night: Pinch-hitting Hu (yes, Harris sucks, but Hu is worse -- screw the L/R matchup), taking O'Connor (who was dealing) out, bunting Bay (HE'S YOUR EFFING CLEANUP HITTER), etc. * If Wright wasn't available last night, then you needed someone there. You can't play short a roster spot. Looks like Bing and Buffalo were both far out of town last night (New Hampshire and Indianapolis, respectively), but still. And if Wright's there, shouldn't you hit him for Harris in the 9th? Or at least put him in the on-deck circle just for gamesmanship? Maybe? * Huge section (20-25 guys) of dickhead Marlins fans started getting noisy and obnoxious in the left field corner last night. Got kicked out of the stadium in the middle of the ninth. Argh. We should probably be better about the "Going to the game thread"

Like I was saying this guy is just terrible , 21 games and nearly 80 AB's and if he wasn't Jason Bay with a fat contract he'd be out of here. Bay did prove he can bunt better than Pridie. I'm sorry, Bay really fucking sucks moosecock.

I kinda wanted Reyes to bunt Neise home at the end. Much as the sacrifice is grossly overutilized, I fear the utility of the bunt single will die along with Luis Castillo's career. I saw a ridiculous Delgado-type shift put on against LaRoche last night and swear he could have bunted a double. They were all but giving him the single.
