IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

David Wright has 2,044 total bases and ranks second in franchise history, just three total bases behind Ed Kranepool (2,047). What do you call a monk swinging a bat in the rain?

A wet batter fryer. It's about time this thread got started. Look at Duda --- hanging in the cleanup spot against the lefty.

Don't worry everybahdy! I am treating Jose Reyes and Danny Murphy while the rest of you play! LETS GO METS!

Ceetar Aug 09 2011 05:25 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

uneventful so far mostly.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Aug 09 2011 05:41 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Yay Radley with a nice pick to end the first, and a single to start the Met second. Perhaps the young man has turned a corner with the departure of his erstwhile mentor?

Ceetar Aug 09 2011 06:28 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

give up two, score two (could've been three if Hairston tagged up better)

Frayed Knot Aug 09 2011 06:46 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Not that he should have caught either of those shots, but Hairston definitely showing his limitations as a defensive outfielder this game. Last night too, there were several balls that a good OFer might have stolen that fell in.

Ceetar Aug 09 2011 06:58 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

hmm, I have some sort of lingering google redirect virus. could use a couple more runs though.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 07:14 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

OK, time to mess these guys up. Baxter in the three-hole this inning.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

No brutality from Bax this time.

Qualls deserves to get smacked around just for having the same name as Jimmy. Oh yeah, I hold grudges.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 07:46 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

One run back on the Pagan kaboom! Followed by back to back singles by Turner and Wright. Bud Black goes to the lefty to face Duda. Do you go Evans?

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 07:47 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Bunting DUDA!

Kooky sequence. Surprised Black didn't have a righty up to face Evans.

Who's up in the pen? Parnell, I'm guessing.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 09 2011 07:54 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Izzy in the pen. Bobby Pee must be there with him.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 07:55 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Bunt him home, Ruben. This is a small ball clinic.

Let's see if Izzy can manage to not leave a steaming coil of failure on the mound.

Frayed Knot Aug 09 2011 08:09 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Two straight games of (mostly) clean innings from Izzy (last night = one single but erased with a GiDP) so he faced the minimum and got a 'W' and an 'S' out of it.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 09 2011 08:10 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Boy this game was all about the DooDoo bunt. If he doesn't get it down, we might prolly lose this thing. Well, that and Pagan's recent powa streak.

bmfc1 Aug 09 2011 08:15 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

JCL--yes about the bunt. Good call tonight from Terry and a good job by Duda who probably hasn't bunted very often.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 08:24 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

I'm giving my credit to Dudabides for getting it down, more than to Collins for calling it. Good call, as it worked, but... I don't think any of us are saying that if he pops it up. Also, a few drops of beer to David for tagging up as the trailing runner, as well as to Evans for hitting it far enough for that additional opportunity.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 08:25 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Collins says now that Duda offered to bunt.

bmfc1 Aug 09 2011 08:27 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

He "offered"? As if he has a choice? Perhaps Terry meant he asked "should I bunt." Yes, good points about Evans and D. Wright, too. Team effort tonight.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 08:33 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

According to Terry, it was: "Should I bunt here?" "Can you do it?" "Yeah, I can get it down." "Then go ahead." He had one successful sacrifice bunt in 2,219 professional trips to the plate going into tonight. Gutsy of him to offer, I think.

Edgy DC Aug 09 2011 08:39 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Houston beating Arizona, 4-1, in the fourth Milwaukee and St. Louis tied at three in the sixth. Marlins helping nobody, down 3-0 to Atlanta after seven.

Ceetar Aug 09 2011 08:41 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Elias: Last time the Mets won two straight games overcoming 2-run deficit in 8th inning or later in each game was April 23-24, 1965 at SF. The Mets trailed the Giants, 8-2, heading to the eighth on April 23, before scoring two in the eighth, four in the ninth and one in the 11th inning for an 9-8, 11-inning win…On April 24, the Giants scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth to grab a 6-4 lead but the Mets responded with three runs in the ninth to win 7-6…New York trailed 8-4 heading to the eighth inning last night and was trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the eighth tonight…Please credit Elias for the research.

Gwreck Aug 09 2011 09:24 PM Re: IGT 8/9/11 Padres @ Mets

Man, the Padres are terrible. Nice effort by the Mets regardless. I'm beginning to think that I could live with Duda in right next year.
