IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your shoes

/Rinse //Gargle ///Spit ////Kick Purple Ass Let's do this. Or, at least, let's do this better than Jeremy Guthrie, who'll hit the DL instead of the mound today, thanks to a freak bicycle accident; the Rockies will throw Guillermo Moscoso up against the wall instead, to see if he sticks.

On the positive side, Guillermo Moscoso is a RHP & this team is decidedly stacked as a Lefty hitting lineup...on the negative side, he doesn't seem like he gives up a lot of walks or long balls... Is there a tally of our won/loss record based on RHP vs LHP starters?

Stones haven't scraped shit off their shoes in 30 years but I am cahnfident Gee can.. Well, kinda cahnfident.

In games with LHP starters: .266/.332/.402 In games with RHP starters: .252/.340/.372 vs. LHPs (general): .233/.309/.366 vs. RHPs (general): .280/.357/.409

I'm willing to write yesterday off to a confluence of ephemeral factors: long plane trip, Coors Field, unrested bullpen, rookie starter, contagious brain farting on defense. I'm willing if they're willing.

Ashie62 Apr 28 2012 04:43 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Good teams win games after messes like yesterday..

This thread needs some lineup action 1) Kirk Nieuwenhuis CF 2) Ruben Tejada SS 3) Daniel Murphy 2B 4) David Wright 3B 5) Lucas Duda RF 6) Scott Hairston LF 7) Ike Davis 1B 8) Josh Thole C 9) Dillon Gee RHP 1) Marco Scutaro 2B 2) Jonathan Herrera 3B 3) Carlos Gonzalez LF 4) Troy Tulowitzki SS 5) Todd Helton 1B 6) Michael Cuddyer RF 7) Wilin Rosario C 8) Dexter Fowler CF 9) Guillermo Moscoso

This thread needs some baseball action. Mets up 2-1 on a two-run homer by Lucas Duda. Who is awesome. Duda.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 06:58 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Two-out rally, and an RBI double by Wright in the third puts them up 3-1. And like every time he drives a run home, David has set a new. Met. Record.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 07:17 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Lost my radio feed, so I'm really talking to myself here. Jim Duquette has a lot to offer, but he sounds a little like a less animated version of Lewin. Plus, and it may be me, he sounds a little neutered. Like a guy who got demoted in public.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 07:29 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Lead gone.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 07:46 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Another two-out rally and another RBI hit by David Wright. Tie game and first and third.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 07:49 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Wright finally steals a base after getting caught on his first three attempts this season.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 07:49 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Two-run hit for Duda! Mets up 6-4! Go, baseball!

These two-out rallies are nice and all, but it would be a whole lot easier if they weren't starting their innings w/2 out and no one on.

Lost my radio feed, so I'm really talking to myself here. Started an hour-plus late, and have been catching up via DVR. Nobody took note of Josh's pasted ball during the Rockies rally? (Gary: "Kids... wear a cup." Keith: "If you're a catcher, and you don't? That's insane. [Audibly scoffs... multiple times]")

metsguyinmichigan Apr 28 2012 08:14 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Was Thole the injury, and is he OK?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 28 2012 08:15 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Yep-- just your standard "got the wind knocked out of him" game break.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 08:17 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

A strong sixth by Gee. He's at 104 pitches. He should come out for the seventh. I'm guessing he won't.

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 08:21 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Tejada and Murphy lead of the seventh with singles. Three hits each for Rube, Irish, and Dudley.

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2012 08:27 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Duda both hitting today and hitting into bad luck at the same time. Robbed once and that last one was an at'em ball -- could have 3 more ribbies.

Ashie62 Apr 28 2012 08:28 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Nice to see Gee cruising

Edgy MD Apr 28 2012 08:29 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Great to see Pubes back out for the seventh.

Gee sharp in 6th & 7th - definitely striking a major chord.

Must be in one of those. It often helps if you place the radio near a window, particularly if it's an east or north facing one in your case ... but urban areas are always tough to predict.

Hairston's Friday evening looks like a lightning strike in retrospect-- he's missed at least four pitches tonight that he should have tattooed. Ike, conversely, has laid off/fouled off the outside crap and whacked the stuffing out of the ball every time up tonight (ESPECIALLY the outs). I expect he'll find an Interstate exit early next week.

Ashie62 Apr 28 2012 08:39 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Can ya go against the pitch count just once?

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2012 08:42 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

The move to Byrdak was as much to go lefty/lefty with CarGo and Helton as it was about the pitch count me thinks. Almost didn't work but it was nice to see a liner hit AT Duda for once instead of him hitting someone else's glove.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 28 2012 08:46 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Byrdak versus Tulo gave me nervous. But hey, whatever works.

Frayed Knot Apr 28 2012 08:46 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Only one Rox base-runner since the 4th inning ... but I'd still like to see about a half-dozen runs before they get one more whack at it.

Ashie62 wrote: Can ya go against the pitch count just once? I'm pretty sure taking Gee to 116 was going against the pitch count. Byrdak, of course, was munny.

Bax joins the hit parade, just as I'm about to say that I'd rather see Valdy in that spot. Enormous sac situation here. Nieuwenhuis might as well not bring his nutsack to the plate at all.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 28 2012 08:48 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Baxter has not sucked.

Baxter = doubles machine Tough to argue about what Byrdak's done so far. Only 4 hits in nearly 7 innings of work including 2 for 8 (now 9) vs RHBs

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 28 2012 08:50 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Radio listeners, trust me-- you don't want to be the guy using the gym free weights after Edgemer Escalona. Dude is straining the shoulders of his uni shirt.

If Terry had bunted with Kirk there I may have had to jump a flight to Denver just to have a word with him.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 28 2012 08:53 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

He scored, so goody. But I've said it before, and I'll say it again: what's wrong with squeezing the runner in there? Terry will bunt the runner over 2-3 times a game, but nary a bunt to get a fucking run IN.

metsguyinmichigan Apr 28 2012 08:53 PM Re: IGT 4/28 @ COL: Got to scrape that shit right off your s

Pulling the ball had the same effect and it almost became a double. I'm with LWFS, if I'm going to bunt in that inning it's with Tejada up, a runner on 3rd, 1 out and a 2-run cushion already in your back pocket.

I watched this game the only way I am able to soak in a weekend WPIX tilt, by driving 200 miles downstate to my parents' house, and then soaking up a lot of cream soda that may have also contained vodka while watching a satisfying Mets victory. Sadly, my folks are moving to God's waiting room, AKA Florida, in June and this trick will not likely work for me again, ever. Having said that, inspiring Mets win.

I watched most of it at Strawberry's nerding out with a bunch of other bloggers. much fun.
