Nats up 2-zip after two. Lone Met hit was a leadoff single by Tejada, erased by a Valdesping GiDP. Jason Bay looks like he has his strikeout swing working.

Edgy MD Jul 23 2012 05:53 PM Re: IGT 7-23-2012 Time to ruthlessly prick Nats gonfalon bu

I'm Chris Young, and I don't like to throw strikes to Bryce Harper. It's just not something I'm looking to do.

Frayed Knot Jul 23 2012 06:21 PM Re: IGT 7-23-2012 Time to ruthlessly prick Nats gonfalon bu

The difference in this game so far can be summed up as Young's inability to globe Lombardozzi's lead-off batter come-backer and/or Valdespin's sudden GiDP-itis.

Frayed Knot Jul 23 2012 06:31 PM Re: IGT 7-23-2012 Time to ruthlessly prick Nats gonfalon bu

Nymr83 Jul 23 2012 06:45 PM Re: IGT 7-23-2012 Time to ruthlessly prick Nats gonfalon bu

At 89 pitches Young likely has one more inning in him at best, I would pinch-hit there instead of leaving him to bunt.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 23 2012 06:51 PM Re: IGT 7-23-2012 Time to ruthlessly prick Nats gonfalon bu

Young assures the inning goes down the drain by making 3 straight foul bunts. Jordanny swinging like a guy who doesn't get to start a whole lot.

Thank the almighty for the GiDP. Lately whenever I see a cheesy single I automatically assume that something bad is going to follow it. And tonight, three of the Nats' hit haven't left the infield.

Parnell's actually been really good (as a "closer"/over the last few weeks), bad results notwithstanding; two of the three pitches on which he's given up the ghost since the break have been really, REALLY good pitches that just happened to get tagged. Anyway, yeah, let's finish this.

Every time Bay comes it seems like I see good stats flashed up on the screen against that particular pitcher. Then I remember that those numbers were from at least one Jason Bay lifetime ago and therefore that history no longer apply to the pod version of Jason Bay that we acquired three years back.

So how much longer do they give Bay? I don't even think we was doing well in those rehab games. If they fall out of contention I guess they keep trotting him out there to see if there is anything left. But I don't see how a team that hopes to be in the hunt keep playing him.

Just awful. Starting think some of this is on Sandy. Other teams are trading for relievers. We knew this pen was horrible. It makes no sense to fall out of contention THEN make a deal. He should have brought someone in when they still had a chance.

Frayed Knot Jul 23 2012 08:11 PM Re: IGT 7-23-2012 Time to ruthlessly prick Nats gonfalon bu

Losint back to back extra inning games by a combined 25 runs is a tough thing to do. Not for this team though. And special credit needs to be given to the middle of the order who, when presented with a chance to win the game outright without having ANY reliever throw a pitch, failed once again to get a ball to leave the infield.

Methead Jul 23 2012 08:13 PM Re: IGT 7-23-2012 Time to ruthlessly prick Nats gonfalon bu

Five-plus runs in a single extra inning in back-to-back games. That must not have happened to many times before.

And you can't even clearly say its' the "bad guys" doing it, because Tejada's poor play today was a big contributor defensively. Duda has had 2 xbhs in a month. Ike was nonexistent early. Kirk and Jordany think pitches thrown in Yankee Stadium are in the strike zone. Jordany swung at a _wild pitch_ today. Murphy disappeared for a month as well, as did Thole. You can live with a guy slumping here and there, but not when multiple guys do it and they slump so hard, not even getting cheap dribbler hits or walks.

Left, center, and right should be in a pretty straight platoon at this point. Need to find a catcher to take the lefties also. I'm still open to bringing up the Pascucci to play some first against lefties. Almost everybody should feel on notice right now.

I don't even know if the platoon thing is gonna work. Duda's not hitting anyone. Kirk's not hitting anyone. Torres is doing okay. Bay's not hitting anything. Hairston's doing good but does have some pretty bad AB sometimes and is very feast and famine. Valdespin too. Even shoving Jason Bay into that mess doesn't seem to..make an outfield. Thole's platoon split isn't that bad, except he doesn't walk against lefties. He's got a 800+ OPS both in the last 7, and last 14 days. (But yes, Nickeas is worthless and is inevitably going to get AB because it's catcher and the backups get playing time)

Toss out some 'thoughts from the game'. Star Wars night was a let down compared to last year. The Big Apple Seats are kinda neat. I was on the end seat next to the apple in the 7th row. Jason Bay's loud fly out was about 20 feet directly in front of me. During the second Jason Bay at-bat, they very clearly raised the volume of his walk-up music as the fans started booing. I bought some baby Mets stuff for a baby shower in two weeks. A bib, a onesie, and a bear. (Mets fan and Angels fan) the kid will be living in Philly. The nice usher let us sit (we moved to stand in fair territory, by the right field pole) when most people left after the 9th. I heard too many "When do the Giants kick off?" comments.

Why do they do Star Wars night anyway? When is it going to be F-Troop night?

They've been doing it at a bunch of other parks/places too. My ticket was also a $5 donation. I got a t-shirt with Vader on it that says "Don't underestimate the power of SU2C". Costume contest for kids before hand, winner gets a trip to Orlando.

I don't think we're gonna give you that much slack, there, magadan. OE: OK, fine, but 256 strikes and you're out.

And saying it to the guy who gives so much of his own time and resources to keep this place alive, along with up to 256 "go fuck yourself"s, is... well, lacking in perspective. Batmags, we agree on much, but not on this.

Funny how the IGT title references the most famous double play team in history, and it's a blown double play that leads to the Mets' undoing.

You' re dead wrong on this one. His role on the forum doesn't excuse his behavior. I don't know why you seem to think it does, or that he's entitled to some immunity for taking unprovoked pot shots at me whenever the mood strikes him. I'm not gonna bore you with the details because boring they are, but he's been provoking me since about my second or third day here. And he hasn't stopped. Yesterday's exchange might've included the nicest posts he's ever written to me. I usually let about 10 go by for every one I respond to but for now, I think I'm done with that tact.

Believe me .. that had nothing to do with Jason Bay and the Mets anticipated freefall. That was about him deciding to more or less tell me to go my fuck myself.

I apologize, batmags ... just making a little sport of your knowing what date you told us Bay sucks. Jason Bay's fuck buddy had me laughing out loud.

Damn, I used to have such a crush on Wrangler Jane. Haven't thought of her for ages. Horrible ending to this game. Tough to even read about.

Didn't know she was married to Danno from Hawaii 50 for awhile. Loved F-Troop as a kid. (I can sing the whole song word for word still)

Kevin Burkhardt ?@KBurkhardtSNY Mets clubhouse not in a good spot right now. Frustration boiling over to the blame game. TC had harsh words post game.

I'm interested as to whether he flings his dung. Keep it coming Burkhardt.

She's also from Canada. Jason Bay asked for some hitting tips.
