And remember, a sweep is as lucky as lucky can be.

Bastardo's pitched both of the first two games --- 47 pitches in all --- so hopefully Lee burns up his 80 pitches early and gives the Mets a good crack at the softer underbelly of the Philly pen.

so far the underbelly of the Phillies pen has been plenty soft..it's been sweet and Savery. *groan*

Mets don't make too many regulars take the bus trip to Clearwater:
|
Ceetar May 09 2012 01:10 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
well..yeah. Duda got two hits off a lefty. Nieuwenhuis is awesome. not a day game after a night game. Lee will only pitch half the game anyway, off day tomorrow..
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2012 01:11 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Eh, unless the guy batting 9th is an underperformer, the lineup is what it is. Doodoo and Nieuwy ready to pinch-hit these guys back to the stone age if needed.
|
Edgy MD May 09 2012 01:12 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
I'm Ike Davis. I started the season as the cleanup hitter. Now, I have three bench players batting in front of me.
|
Benjamin Grimm May 09 2012 01:15 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Ike is well on the way to transitioning a bad start into a bad season.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2012 01:21 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
With so many regulars already missing from the lineup it's not a good time to try it but maybe a week in the minors is what Ike needs.
|
Mets – Willets Point May 09 2012 01:25 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
It's Sweeps Day!

Edgy MD May 09 2012 01:34 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |

It'd be a way for him to make a few adjustments without the pressure of failed adjustments continuing to permanently blot his baseball card. But yeah, maybe when (if?) Bay comes back, Nieuie/Hairston can slide over to right and Duda to first for a week to 10 ten days.

G-Fafif May 09 2012 01:42 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
All our lineups have looked like "B" lineups of late and we "B" winning anyway.

We have two of the better 2009 Mets. They have Brian Schneider.

Is this for real?
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 05:14 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
That was a brisk first. Lee just might squeeze a CG out of those 75 pitches.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 05:32 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
16-pitch second. That's improvement.

... he writes, just before back-to-back singles to a punchline-of-a-bottom-order. If you can't induce weak contact from Freddy Galvis, you should think about going into poetry full-time.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 05:44 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
And now Gary's got a cheesesteak hat on, thanks to a Phanatic ambush. What a whimsical brand of criminal assault!
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2012 05:44 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Somehow worse that the Schneid got a hit than Galvis or Lee.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 05:45 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |

Two outs and we got them where we want em. Muffy is gonna be my gay husband.

Lee...SIT! Murph is gonna get you, Clifford.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 05:56 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Is anyone else weirded out by Juan Pierre's head size? Like his strike zone, it's just... unnatural.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 06:03 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
54 offerings through 4 for Clifford. At this pace, he gets through 6 in about 80.
|
Gwreck May 09 2012 06:10 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Maybe Dillon can see fit to retire Galvis and Lee this time around.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 06:14 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
And there you are. Maybe Dillon can see to not getting in two-on, nobody-out situations EVERY inning. Dude must have come from a miner family, 'cause he really seems to enjoy digging.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 06:20 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
67 pitches for Clifford through 5. Last time through, or does he stay 'til his next AB?
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 06:32 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
I would not have considered Gee one of our stronger starters, or a strong candidate to make anyone else's, at season's outset. But... well... sorta by default, but here we are.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2012 06:35 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |

Met pitching is responsible for 2/3 of Freddy Galvis' slugging this season.

Turner starts it off, with help from a dicey route by the Cryin Hawaiian.

Ike breaks through, and... good God, you can't score on THAT?

metsguyinmichigan May 09 2012 07:07 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
How did he only get to third on a double?
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2012 07:08 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Still no outs.
|
Fman99 May 09 2012 07:08 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Nice of the Phillies pen to be so gawd awful. Duda up, bases loaded, no outs.
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2012 07:09 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |

Looked like Pence might catch it for a moment, and he didn't wanna get doubled off with pences gun.
|
Fman99 May 09 2012 07:10 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Duda goes all Rudy Stein and takes one for the team! Tie game.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2012 07:10 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
As far as batting-practice pitching machines go, this one the Phillies call "Kyle Kendrick" is a pretty energy-efficient model.

Yay good guys! Torres with the RBI FC, Mets lead.
|
metsguyinmichigan May 09 2012 07:13 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
If Kendrick learned from Hamels, he'll say "That was an accident." He'd be telling the truth, too!
|
John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2012 07:14 PM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
Less than I'dike to have gotten out of a bases loaded, no out sitch, but we got a lead at last.

Thank you Mets for salvaging this night in my sports life. I almost wish I was going into the office tomorrow to see the MFP fan in the office next door. Tuesday, she walked in and said "I'm not gonna talk to you!" which was fine. Today, she avoided eye contact, as if I'd be less than gracious.

The attendance for all three games was greater than listed capacity.
|
Mets – Willets Point May 10 2012 07:36 AM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
So I was exhausted last night and pretty much fell asleep on the couch immediately after turning the game on (with the baby in my arm, who also fell asleep) but thanks to Gary Cohen's excited voice I was able to wake up long enough to see most of the Mets run scoring. One of the most exciting games I've ever slept through.
|
Gwreck May 10 2012 11:27 AM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |

When the Mets first started advertising Citi Field, they regularly referred to it as having a capacity of "45,000, including standing room." That number was quietly discarded as the actual seating capacity is 42,000. The Mets have sold standing room tickets for only one series, the 2011 home series against the Yankees. They were priced at an obscene $45. By comparison, the Phillies sell standing room tickets at $17, AND you can find a spot on the lower level behind the plate to stand.
|
Ceetar May 10 2012 11:30 AM Re: IGT 5/9 - Mets @ Phils ... Sweep Day |
they sold standing room this Opening Day too. so far they've only done it for premium games, but I imagine if they started selling out regular games they'd add cheap SRO too. And expensive ones when they finally make the playoffs.
