I guess nobody's watching the game today. (I'm not either.) I just checked the score online, though. Scoreless, Mets batting in the bottom of the third. So far they've had one single by Murphy.

Several tweets about Valdespin, but not saying what he did. What happened?

Mattingly comes and gets the starter with 1 out in the 5th even though he still has a lead. Not sure if this is a good thing or not. We weren't exactly hitting him (most hits were soft) and K-ing a lot, but he was also up around 100 pitches already and so in comes the lefty to face Ike & Muffy with men on.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 12:58 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

And neither of them come through and we leave two runners on for the 2nd inning in a row. btw for youse outta-towners, this game is on TBS

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 01:12 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Wow -- Nieuwenhuis got a hit! And off a LHP too! I think that's his first since sometime in May although I'll have to check the records on that.

DocTee Jul 22 2012 02:10 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

I'm a-feared they are coming back to normal. They are what they are-- and Turner sucks.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:20 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

But the leadoff hitter is on and this is a chump we can beat. Don't bunt w/Valdy!!

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 02:21 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

2-0. SWING! Or TAKE!

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:23 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Not my favorite play, but at least it worked.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:25 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

And, once again, it'll be up to the lefties - and Mattingly doesn't have one in the bullpen.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 02:26 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Gotta watch out for that double play here.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:28 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Got that hole over at first because they have to hold [crossout:17o7kywm]Tejada[/crossout:17o7kywm] Wright on.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 02:29 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

I'll take it!

Gwreck Jul 22 2012 02:31 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Bad call at first: Davis obviously safe.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:31 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Would've been a close play at home if Loney fielded that one cleanly. C'mon Lucas, send 'em home.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:33 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

We should probably consider ourselves lucky just to get it tied considering that only one hitter that inning got the ball out of the infield.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 02:36 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Sticking with Parnell. Right move. Sorry now that we got only 12 pitches total out of Rauch and Byrdak.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:36 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

So who's left on the bench? Just Hairy & Bay, right?

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:39 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

It's almost like Parnell decides ahead of time what he's going to throw on that particular day. Last week there was that outing where he threw nothing but curve-balls. Today everything is on the outside half.

It kind of doesn't matter since bunting for a hit doesn't work when everyone is looking for it.

Well, it matters because I asked. Frayed Knot wrote: So who's left on the bench? Just Hairy & Bay, right? Cedeņo also. All righties.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 02:43 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

That's the way to use a reliever.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:47 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

NOW I wouldn't mind a bunt with Nickeas and leave it up to Hairston & Tejada. oe: Oops, I had the batters in the wrong order ... never mind

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:50 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

And now my previous thought is back on: Bunt w/Nickeas and avoid the potential GiDP

Today everything is on the outside half. It is certainly not outside the realm of possibility that, while warming up in the pen, he sees his curve feels particularly good/bad that day and uses it accordingly.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:52 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

I think we just got the make-up call at 1st

Frayed Knot wrote: I think we just got the make-up call at 1st Yes, he should have been out. TERRIBLE bunt though right back at the mound

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 02:55 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Somebody on this team needs to get a ball out of the infield !!!!!!!!!

DocTee Jul 22 2012 02:59 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Was that a straight sacrifice or more of the bunt-for-a-hit-and-take-the-sacrifice-as-a-backup-plan move Straight sacrifice but Valdy's speed almost made it a hit, too. Nickeas' bunt was one of the worst I've seen-- he should have swung away with the wheel play on anyway, but hard back to the mound is not the way they teach it.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 03:04 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

The thing about the Nickeas bunt was that the play at 3rd was closer than the one at 1st

Nymr83 Jul 22 2012 03:08 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Mets dancing out of trouble... Would REALLY like to end it here with the now-depleted bullpen

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 03:11 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

So it's Valdy - Wright - then Ike against a pitcher making his ML debut: Josh (somebody take him over the) Wall

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 03:15 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

One out, Wright on first. Green light?

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 03:17 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Well, if you said no, you were right.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 03:18 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

15 hits and only 3 runs. I didn't have a problem with the SB attempt.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 03:22 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

So we have the advantage in terms of available arms, but... still gots to push somebody across first. And now two on and no outs for the Dodgers.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 03:24 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Hi, I'm Mike DiMuro! By the way, you're allowed to drop a bunt and go for the double play, aren't you? No infield-fly rule on bunts?

Nymr83 Jul 22 2012 03:25 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Gwynn was out. This umpire at first base is having a really bad day. Thanks for the freebie Ellis!

bmfc1 Jul 22 2012 03:25 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Dimuro is even worse than Angel Hernandez and CB Bucknor!

Nymr83 Jul 22 2012 03:28 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Nobody is worse than Angel "I got a flight to catch" Hernandez. I don't like the intentional walk here. Either isn't THAT good and loading the bases is suspect, you can too easily end up behind in the count with no place to put him

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 03:30 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Two-run lead for the Dodgers. Boodles.

Edgy MD Jul 22 2012 03:37 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Hey, Josh Lewin. I don't care if a pitcher isn't available tomorrow.

Frayed Knot Jul 22 2012 03:47 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

Don't you just smell a four run inning coming right here?

bmfc1 Jul 22 2012 03:50 PM Re: IGT 7/22/12 - LAD@New York: Seen Better Days

I smell something... (that was too easy).

It was the right move, it simply didn't work. And then it was the 14 consecutive two-outs that followed which made it look even worse.
