IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

Frayed Knot Jun 22 2011 03:35 PM

Well, shit, somebody's got to start the IGT and I almost had a two-game winning streak last week doing this (the blown save v the Braves killed me). 1. Jose Reyes – SS 2. Justin Turner – 3B 3. Carlos Beltran – RF 4. Jason Bay – LF 5. Scott Hairston – CF 6. Ronny Paulino – C 7. Lucas Duda – 1B 8. Ruben Tejada – 2B 9. R.A. Dickey - P Hairston in because of the LHP Gonzalez. Duda in on account of Murphy "struggling" acc to Terry and working on things with Hudgens.

Great point by Keef about Gonzalez. They take pictures out so early these days that you rarely see a pitcher find his rhythm and get better like this. Dickey too, maybe.

Frayed Knot Jun 22 2011 08:10 PM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

batmagadanleadoff Jun 22 2011 08:51 PM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

I enjoyed this game thoroughly for eight innings. Then K-Rod coughs up the save. Then Paulino comes up in the 9th with nobody out and the winning run on first. Paulino just murders lefties, and is the most lethal bat that will get an AB in the Mets 9th. So naturally, Collins orders Paulino to make an out on purpose. What a cuntbunter he is.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 22 2011 08:53 PM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

Am I being superselective with the memory, or does Collins' decision-making seem to get iffier (albeit sometimes in traditional, baseball-guy ways) in close-and-late situations?

bmfc1 Jun 22 2011 08:54 PM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

What batmagadanleadoff just said. And why wasn't Harris close enough to 2d so he could tag? The Mets lack of baseball sense is staggering.

They said the other night that Terry had bunted with a position player seven times this season. This one makes it eight which I suspect is low for most NL managers. Bunting when you need just one run in the ninth isn't, by definition, a bad move. It just was in this case due to the personnel involved.

It's still early but other than the way Dickey pitched tonight, the only other positive take-away is that Fuck Nut Cunt-Rod didn't get credit for ending the game.

Edgy DC Jun 22 2011 09:14 PM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

Buttermaker would've let Engleberg swing. Mike Leake also, probably. Why don't they ever look to bunt for hits anymore, though? Reyes and Pagan each led off as the go-ahead run in recent innings.

PiggiesTomatoes Jun 22 2011 09:21 PM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

Amazing what a losing stretch does to ones psyche; there hasn't been one moment tonight where I thought this game was going to end well - and that includes the time we were ahead in the 8th & 9th.

I use rechargeables, and I guess it'd been a while and they decharged. the rain delay wasn't even over, so I tweeted "Does Citi Field sell batteries anywhere?" and MetsWFAN asked me how many and offered me some. So I met him outside the control room and he came out and handed me an open package of batteries. actually 6. very cool of him. I had to sneak into the Excelsior level to do so, since I only paid $12 to get into the stadium, but hey.. I did find out they sell batteries in pairs of two for $4 in the main Citi Field shop in the rotunda, but I probably wouldn't have spent 8 on that.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 22 2011 11:28 PM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

Yeah, long, boring, pointless night but someone had to win. My friend and I wound up sitting next to a nice young sober wide-eyed Midwestern couple (Cub fans) in New York on an East Coast ballpark swing (they were in Boston the other day, at MFY Stadium Friday etc. They were pulling for us. I didn't make it see to Edgy's peeps, for one I didn't know where till late, then I couldn't move and mess things up. Plus they were on the complete opposite side and on a level I'm not sure my ticket would allow access to. So I toasted them from across the park. Tejada needs a day off, probably Turner too. I like that Terry deployed everything he had to win this thing but disagreed with the Paulino bunt, specially with a lefty up there. Matsui made more good plays in the OF than I would have expected. Stadium played "Let's Go" in the 12th inning and "After Midnight" natch in the 13th. I couldn't believe the Mets were doing the crowd-jumping pie-face walkoff thing after that ugly win but I guess we gotta take it. Very bice job of relief by Parnell and Beat-O especially.

Edgy DC Jun 23 2011 10:14 AM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

So, a win's a win, maybe, but can we agree that this is about as weak and passive a win since that 20-inning debacle with St. Louis? I give Terry credit from using his releivers more or less in their order on the depth chart, but if the Mets lost a walkoff game this way, I don't think we'd be particuarly pleased with the batter's seeming lack of effort in avoiding the pitch.

bmfc1 Jun 23 2011 10:33 AM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

I wish that Thole had the same "lack of effort" (I'll call it "baseball smarts") as Turner when he was up with bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th, tie game, 1 out--he avoided the pitch, hit into a DP, and the Mets lost in extras.

Edgy DC Jun 23 2011 10:37 AM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

Maybe, but I always come around to the idea that if you do things like a looza, either you are a looza or are fast on your way to becoming one. I know there's a time-honored tradition to taking one for the team, but in the long term, bullshit winning is unsustainable.

bmfc1 Jun 23 2011 10:46 AM Re: IGT - Wed 6/22 Oakland @ Mets

Maybe Ziegler shouldn't have thrown it so close to the batter. Maybe Melvin shouldn't have walked Reyes intentionally to set up the finale. "Bullshit winning"--smart baseball by Turner.
