Re: IGT 6/8 @ MFYs: Cold Crush Kuroda

WFAN saturation coverage has Benigno and Roberts interviewing Sandy at MFYS III. Benigno asked Sandy for his no-hitter reaction. Sandy talked about his reaction morphing from "rationalist" to "visceralist," two words I'm guessing don't come up often in Benigno's life.

I appreciate Sandy not talking down to Joe. And kudos to Joe for not talking up to Sandy, I suppose.

Is anyone here really surprised at the results so far? ... because I'm not.
All this fucking team does is hit HRs* and it usually doesn't even matter who's up there or who's pitching.


The remaining things to do tonight:
- not get no-hit
- keep Cano's HRs under five
- keep the score under a dozen





* more than half their runs this season have come via the HR

In order to do that they might want to think about actually putting a ball in play. Going for the planetary strike-out record isn't going to get it done.

Davis (the old one at least, not this current imposter) - 2 for 7 + 2 BBs and a HR
Duda - 2 for 3 with a 2B

... and I don't think one of those guy has a friggin' ball out of the infield tonight.

Re: IGT 6/8 @ MFYs: Cold Crush Kuroda

The frightful issue is whether Santana's giant shit will be linked to Terry leaving him out there to complete his no-hitter. Even if there's nothing there at all, a did-Terry-injure-him controversy could turn into a giant energy suck.

I watched this game from a restaurant, and I don't get this ballpark at all. I'd see somebody turn on a high curve that had lost its action and I'd think "Shit, that's going to be a hard shot off the wall," and it's in the upper deck. And I'm thinking "But he kind of topped it."

Maybe the Yankz got the hand of the place. Don't swing so hard, focus on making good strong contact, and let the magic of YSIII do the rest.

Under any circumstances, the Mets better come back and score 12 today.

Re: IGT 6/8 @ MFYs: Cold Crush Kuroda

According to Adam Rubin, Terry took the blame and went out of his way to show how Saint Johan was looking out for his teammate:

Collins originally wanted Santana to pitch on one extra day of rest Thursday, with R.A. Dickey pitching a day early and Jeremy Hefner unneeded for a spot start. Santana replied that he did not want to disrupt Dickey's groove. So Santana requested to go on normal rest Wednesday, albeit with a low pitch count. Instead, Collins opted for the two extra days following Santana's 134-pitch no-hitter.

"He's rusty," Collins said. "It's my doing, not his. ... We erred on the side of caution and it cost us the game tonight."

Re: IGT 6/8 @ MFYs: Cold Crush Kuroda

Good for Collins, I guess.

Is there some way he can take the blame and throw himself on his sword for the offense?
