IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

G-Fafif Jun 11 2011 10:14 PM

The afternoon after the big Huey Lewis concert at PNC Park, let's see if the Mets can show some heart and soul. Or will Chris Capuano be seeking a new drug?

Shes got Legs! Oops, wrong band. Lets win this reacharound, I mean wraparound series!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 12:01 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

As per Gary, Tracksuit is quite the demonstrative Huey Lewis fan. (Well, either that, or he is highly suggestible around music he knows, and just can't shut up.)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 12:40 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Capuano works around a leadoff walk, thanks to a nicely-turned 5-4-3 inning-ender. The O, meanwhile, is getting Emma Stoned by Correia through 4.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 12:59 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Bay breaks up the 'fecto-- what more appropriate Met (non-bullpen) is there to screw up perfection these days?-- but the Mets are still being stymied through 5 1/2.

So this is going to be an Ump Game. Thanks, Jerry Layne.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 12 2011 01:16 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Wow, that sucked. Jason Bay comes through with a sac fly to put the Mets up 1-0 but an appeal play at second base takes the run away and ends the inning.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 12 2011 01:19 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Pirates announcers saying that the umps conferred, and the run is going back on the board. Explanation after commercial break.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 01:21 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Um... okay. Pagan was out, for passing second, then not retouching the bag on the way back. (Replays inconclusive.)

HahnSolo Jun 12 2011 01:22 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

And Angel redeems himself with a nice catch at the wall.

HahnSolo Jun 12 2011 01:23 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Umm, Gary, it hit the wall. Maybe. But it is close enough to argue, unlike Garys proclamation that it was clearly a good catch.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 01:24 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Well, yeah... through the glove.

Harris to PH for Capuano. Can't be much better than CC has been his last three starts.

But once again Gary and Keith are proclaiming that he touched the bag. I didn't see that. According to their argument, in this case, passed the bag equates to touched the bag. I'm not so sure that the rulebook agrees.

Ceetar Jun 12 2011 01:38 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

7.02 In advancing, a runner shall touch first, second, third and home base in order. If forced to return, he shall retouch all bases in reverse order, unless the ball is dead under any provision of Rule 5.09. In such cases, the runner may go directly to his original base. It doesn't. To me, this means Pagan was safe (Because as far as I can tell he didn't touch it.)

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 01:40 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Two-out runs against Correia, keyed by Willie Harris? Is this a nap-dream?

Beltran remains awesome with his 1100th RBI. That whore.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 01:44 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

And Correia gets Bi Bim Bopped post-departure those two runs, thanks in part to a nice slide from JTO.

Frayed Knot Jun 12 2011 01:46 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

About time we made Correia go south.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 12 2011 01:49 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Mets making sure the controversy over the first run is moot; they keep piling on. 5-0 now.

Frayed Knot Jun 12 2011 01:50 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

That's what, like six straight 2-out hits now? Dang, move just ONE of these RiSP hits to last night and we'd be 3/4 of the way towards sweepville by now.

Ashie62 Jun 12 2011 01:52 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

This team is fun day in and day out. I don't even think about Wright, Ike or Johan much. It's an alliance of the healthy.

Frayed Knot Jun 12 2011 02:06 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

NOW Scott ... Really? The funny part is I switched for like 10 seconds in order to check on Liriano's no-hitter (he lost it on a leadoff single in the 8th) and missed the Hairston HR. Ooooh, but back in time for Jose's 3rd.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 12 2011 02:06 PM Re: IGT 6/12/2011: NYM @ PIT -- If This Is It

Hairston has very quietly (and very slowly, given the complete lack of AB's) brought his line up to .259/.333/.426. I bet we start to see a bit more of him.

Cranky, cranky. Thumbs up on this game (and this series) coming to you from Cleveland.

Not much to add here. Great game, particularly from Capuano and the parade of 2-out hits. Pirates fans are loyal and mostly supportive of their team but understandably have little patience. They turned on Correia awful fast after he turned in a great start. I was struck by how much of an effort the Pirates' staff at PNC Park put into making people feel like valued customers and welcome guests. I'm sure some of it comes from the natural need to do so following twenty losing seasons but it means something. Not to pile on the Mets, but given the tough job market, it baffles the mind that they can't find better employees for Citi Field. Nifty feature at PNC that I haven't seen elsewhere: in addition to pitch speed and count, they put the pitch fX data on the ribbon board between the seating levels.
