Because it's Dickey Day.

This weather forecast ain't for knuckleballs.

Good, something else will be blowing besides the Mets bullpen.

Batista after last night's game (quoted by Adam Rubin):
I appreciate his confidence in the team but how about shutting up after "they" beat "us" two days in a row.

How about signing Ankiel and sending Nieuwenhuis down so he can play every day and hopefully cut down on his strikeouts?
|
TransMonk Jul 19 2012 08:18 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
Hell...at this point I'd let Ankiel try out in the bullpen.
|
Swan Swan H Jul 19 2012 08:36 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
Nooey is 8 for his last 65 (.123), with 2 HR, 4 RBI, and 26 Ks. When a veteran has a stretch like this you expect him to come out of it. When a rookie does, it might be time for him to get back to a level where he can excel and regain his CAHNfidence.
|
bmfc1 Jul 19 2012 08:47 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
The flaw in swapping Ankiel for Nieuwenhuis is who goes when Baxter returns? That might be resolved if the Mets become "sellers" and perhaps Hairston or Turner is traded.
|
Edgy MD Jul 19 2012 08:48 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
DFA doesn't make him a free agent, however. The Nats still own his rights for 10 days and can negotiate a trade, though leverage is obviously compromised. I'm fine with the notion of farming out Nieuwie and gaining Ankiel. We've suited up plenty of other veterans of PED suspensions.
|
Swan Swan H Jul 19 2012 08:56 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
|
I'd do it to just to improve until the point when Baxter returns. If Ankiel isn't doing much, off with his head. If he's a revelation, that's one of those good decisions to have to make, as the cliche goes.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 19 2012 09:15 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
In the meantime, why not bring up Fred Lewis (currently MURDERING righties in Buffalo) and let Nieuwenhuis get his head straight? Torres can split time with 'Spin in center, no?

|
bmfc1 Jul 19 2012 11:33 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
Turner ass-umed Hairston would be there. Hairston was playing near the warning track. Turner should have been there.

Probably... or called to Hairston sooner. JT was closer, but seemed to have no bead on it, due to the glare.

Thanks, guys. Too many day games this year. At least it's not Wayne Hagin any longer - I'd have had to go with the Nats guys, or maybe the Spanish broadcast.

Rubin tweets that another reliever will be added before Batista's start on Saturday. I guess Nieuwenhuis will go.

Wright with another HR. Whoa 9-1.

I know they're kindasorta saying it with their bats, but I wouldn't mind if, say, Wright hits another home run and circles the bases with both middle-fingers raised. Y'know, get a little heel heat going.
|
bmfc1 Jul 19 2012 11:49 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
Let Dickey go 5 and start him on Saturday. Unless you think the fucktards in the bullpen could screw this one up..

Ceetar Jul 19 2012 11:58 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
There were a lot of times in 2007 and 2008 when the Mets needed to close out a series sweep to really build a comfort zone in case they struggled a bit down the stretch and didn't do it. Hopefully this is similar, just in reverse.

On to the 6th, with Stammen about to start his third frame. If Terry were managing the Nats, they'd be using Burnett here, after having gone through Stammen and Gorzelanny.
|
metsguyinmichigan Jul 19 2012 12:20 PM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
And they should stop preventing Teddy from winning, too. You know the Roughrider would be destroying these guys. Heck, they'd he saying "Teddy, you need to let some of these other guys win once in a while."
|
bmfc1 Jul 19 2012 12:21 PM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
The Nationals GM said that they released Ankiel rather than a reliever when activating Storen because they play a double-header on Saturday.

A good day to take the pitch count clicker away from Warthen. It's only a seven-run lead with two innings to go.

bmfc1 Jul 20 2012 08:08 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
Did I hear Terry correctly on the post-game: the Nationals are a good bunting team so they tailor their IF so that bunts stay fair. If he thinks that, and I wouldn't put it past Davey and management that went out of its way to get the 1st round pick two years in a row, then did the Mets bunt at all? Is that why Torres had a few IF hits?
|
Ceetar Jul 20 2012 08:12 AM Re: IGT 7/19, @ Nationals: A Quick Turnaround |
|
No one ever talks about this stuff. Torres is probably the only one (well, Valdy) with the real speed to make bunting a thing though. The Mets should (they might for all I know) let the infield grass grow a little longer so it slows down the ball and gives guys that extra split second to make plays defensively.
