IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for Them

We're not particular.

The Mets need to administer a beat down on Mike and send him back to the Minor Leagues.

G-Fafif Aug 07 2011 08:05 AM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Out to mine Minor for base hits: Jose Reyes – SS Justin Turner – 2B David Wright – 3B Scott Hairston – RF Jason Bay – LF Angel Pagan – CF Ronny Paulino – C Nick Evans – 1B Dillon Gee – RHP Duda and Murphy -- compare notes on fielding while sitting.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2011 09:06 AM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Should Murphy be sitting, even against a LHP? Or does the need to give Evans a start override that? I'm glad that Hairston is getting a start.

Ashie62 Aug 07 2011 10:42 AM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Nick Evans has a need to get a start?

Gee works around the fake HBP, real HBP, and blown inning-ending DP (courtesy of de facto SS Carrot-Top) with a tidy strikeout of Gonzalez. Reyes left with a stiff left hamstring. What else?

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2011 12:07 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

So I guess this means we'll see Ruben Tejada called up for tomorrow, all of which probably means ... goodbye again Nick Evans! (boy can't seem to buy a break). Either him or Pridie.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2011 12:22 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

And for the third day in a row we're just trying to hand Atlanta the game even as their bats are showing no ability to take it on their own. - Two errors which cost three outs, two HBPs, two balls Gee failed to field, a wild pitch, several walks (including the pitcher after 0-2) The Braves' only run (so far) has come on their only solid hit. Every other threat they've had has been handed to them.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2011 12:26 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Speed kills. The Braves leg out a run to tie the game.

Edgy DC Aug 07 2011 12:31 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Thrillin' Gee, meanwhile, is a hit machine.

Today? More like "BP Juggs machine." Christ.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2011 12:40 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Gee is getting bombed by Atlanta in the 5th.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2011 12:53 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Damn, that inning sucked. Gee gives up 3 runs on a pair of long home runs and then in the bottom half the Mets go down 1-2-3 without even putting a ball in play. I don't get to see the Mets games too often, but they generally don't look to good when I do.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2011 01:17 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Murphy drives in a run with a swinging bunt down the third base line. Willie Harris follows with a grounder through the infield and the Mets are back within one.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2011 01:19 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Bay on-base three times today. Willie Harris 2-for-3, with both hits plating Mets. So... Fan Favorite Day today?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2011 01:25 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

They just seem determined to put Bourn and Constanza on. Is there some kind of walk-the-fast-guys edict that Met pitchers have received from Collins/Warthen today?

DocTee Aug 07 2011 01:28 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2011 01:29 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Constanza makes a terrible slide on a SB attempt, and gives a little spike-kick to the outside of Murph's left knee (not the same one as last year... but still). Irish is out. FUCKING Braves games.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2011 01:33 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

The Mets infield looks like a spring training split squad game.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2011 01:34 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

If Constanza gets up again, I hope they buzz him for that lousy slide.

PiggiesTomatoes Aug 07 2011 01:37 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Buzz??? Drill, baby, drill. That slide was fucking ridiculous. Poor Murph.

Edgy DC Aug 07 2011 01:40 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Secondbasiest game in Mets history. They've had four guys playing there already. They lose another infielder, I guess Evans moves over.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2011 01:45 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Prado goes for a sliding catch in left field and whiffs it. Bay comes in to score. It's all tied up.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2011 01:49 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Evans rung up on a mid-shin fastball. Hey ump, I think I can squeeze you into my schedule tomorrow.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2011 01:49 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

3-2, two on, and some funky call right there on Evans... who can't in good conscience let that kind of pitch go by him, really.

Gwreck Aug 07 2011 01:52 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Defensive re-set: Turner back to second Evans to third Duda to first Hairston back to right David Wright to shortstop.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 07 2011 01:57 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Here's hoping they musical-chair it for the last couple of innings. Fun for the whole family, and likely just as effective as whatever the "optimal" arrangement is.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2011 01:58 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Terry's being very fair, letting everybody play everywhere.

Edgy DC Aug 07 2011 01:59 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

And we over-indulge a little more, double-switching Thole in.

Oh, well, a lot of fun and a lot of good baseball. Just not too much of it from Parnell. I 'spect Ruben Tejada and Zach Lutz already have tickets to the big league in their hands.

bmfc1 Aug 07 2011 02:40 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Not thrilled w/the attempted bunts from Pagan.

metirish Aug 07 2011 02:43 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Wayne did make I thought a good point about Parnell, he needs to learn how to throw a curve ball. No matter how hard you throw players sitting on heat will hit it, even 50 year old Chipper.

HahnSolo Aug 07 2011 02:53 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

I have a feeling Parnell will be the 2015 version of Heath Bell. Shipped out of NYC and finds himself somewhere else.

Although, he reflected, the slider did get the ground ball, just in the wrong spot. we need a new pitching coach that can teach pitch selection though, Warthen is pretty much lost, leaving the pitchers to fend for themselves, or Thole, who isn't exactly experienced.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2011 03:13 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

All the Mets RBI this afternoon have come with two down. So did theirs ... until the last one (which was with 1 out). In a way NYM pitchers were lucky to get away with giving up as few runs as they did seeing as all the leadoff and/or 1-out hitters they let on - although in a way the Braves were lucky that they kept getting those runners on as they were, for the most part, via gifts and/or pieces of shit - 1st inning: leadoff walk - 2nd inning: leadoff Heyward HR (OK, they earned that one) - 3rd inning: 1-out HBP - 4th inning: leadoff infield single (Gee should have had it) - 5th inning - 6th inning: leadoff ground single (actually reached the OF ... barely) - 7th inning: 1 out walk + SB - 8th inning: 1 out walk - 9th inning: leadoff bloop single in front of Pagan and then followed that with a walk. The Chipper single was another seeing-eye hit (Gary & Ron questioned the slider instead of a fastball) which could just as easily been a GiDP but, again, the real problem was the bloop (seemed to take Pagan forever just to get in the picture) and then walk to Hinske which brought him up in the first place. Oddly, the 5th was the one inning the Mets got the first two batters which is when Gee decided to go the 2-out walk-HR-HR route.

Either him or Pridie. Now Murph's injury almost certainly gives Evans a reprieve - along with anyone else above A-ball in this organization who can walk upright for more than twenty paces.

After he pumped his fist in the air when he threw out the final runner, someone should have run out of the stands and hit Chipper in the groin with a fire axe. Bush league smirking mother-fucker. Murphy was spiked just above the knee, but I don't know if it just a gash or something more serious. Later

Edgy DC Aug 07 2011 04:47 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2011: ATL @ NYM: Beat the Next Guy Pitching for

Ain't nothing wrong with celebrating the final out of a ballgame. Chipper's only fault there is succeeding.

Fucking fuck. Murphy down for a while. Reyes down for now. Pagan trying to fucking bunt in the 9th. Parnell grooving slider after slider when he should be pumping heat past old stupid Larry Jones. This is some tear your hair out shit right here.
