IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

Centerfield Apr 10 2013 10:59 AM

Hefner (pretty douchy himself) versus Kendrick. Would be nice to start the season with three series wins.

batmagadanleadoff Apr 10 2013 11:49 AM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

Wake me up for Harvey's next start.

G-Fafif Apr 10 2013 01:40 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

Jordany Valdespin – CF Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Ike Davis – 1B John Buck – C Lucas Duda – LF Mike Baxter – RF Ruben Tejada – SS Jeremy Hefner – RHP

Edgy MD Apr 10 2013 01:43 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

Lookit that aesthetically perfect lineup. Starts with a long name like "Jordany Valdespin," regresses incremenatally down to "Ike Davis," and then progresses incrementally back up toward "Jeremy Hefner." We can't lose.

Edgy MD Apr 10 2013 01:47 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

The Phillies didn't put near so much thought into theirs.

Harvey had at least 9ks in his first two starts this season, 3rd pitcher in Met history to do that along with David Cone (1992) and Pedro Martinez (2005). Harvey opens the season with consecutive starts in which he lasted at least 7 innings and allowed 3 or fewer hits. Only one other Met pitcher has done that. Nolan Ryan in 1970. Non Harvey news: The Mets have hit a homer in every game (7) so far this season. The 1987 squad holds that record with 8.

Holy shit. Brown hits one downtown. Downtown Brown. Hef has shit for stuff so far tonight. Or Buck is calling a horrible game, lol.

Zvon Apr 10 2013 05:44 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

We can get back into this. Buck will bat at least 3 more times and that's three more home runs, and there's other guys that can do other run scoring stuff.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2013 05:52 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2013 05:57 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

It was a good fight for Valdy there. Tell you, though. I'd have PHed with Cowguts or somebody for Hef.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2013 05:59 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

Well, that was a nice quik inning for Hef. Get Kendrick back out there and laboring again with the good hitters due up. The dope's that there's still hope.

Frayed Knot Apr 10 2013 06:00 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

OK, we're obviously set at catcher for years to come, so let's trade d'Arnaud NOW!!!! for some pitching while we have the chance. Yes, I'm kidding

Frayed Knot Apr 10 2013 06:02 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

The Mets about to hand Kendrick a single-digit pitch inning right back.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2013 06:07 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

That is just a terrible score, Edward.

I initially thought the same thing even though it was just the second inning. At least do something there with the bases bloated. Squeeze? Then I thought, after the first two strikes, at least make him throw a lot of pitches, and he did make him throw a few after that. Valde did make him work. And now Hef does not look like he will find it in himself to be effective tonight.

Yes, I'm kidding How about we trade Buck before the AS break (lets say he has 15 to 17 hr by then) and get something we need. But how much will he be worth to another team? I'd want to get a prime piece but I don't think we get that.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 10 2013 06:15 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

For a guy with so little experience in CF, Valdy ain't half bad out there.

Edgy MD Apr 10 2013 06:16 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

Not an impressive route, but a great effort by Valdespin keeps the Mets in the game.

So Turnip got an at bat and wasted it (for shame) and Edgin is in for Hefner.

Didn't take long to remember how aggravating baseball can be. Irritating game.

Valdy likes comin' in on the ball.

Zvon Apr 10 2013 07:38 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

That ball might have found Baxters glove but would not have if his glove wasn't there. Nice play Mike.

Edgy MD Apr 10 2013 07:39 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

Second batter today to be held to a single by Baxter after a drive to/off the wall. I used to think that sort of indignity was reserved for Rusty

And he lets the ump know, as he walks away, that he better also give that pitch to our guy on the mound. That's something you can also do Ike. Say something loud, let the ump know you disagree, as you JWA. AS you are walking away. Okay, including my other wisecracks from other IGTs thats all the ways to do it. Lessons over.

Didn't see every inning of this game. Post game show (Phils-during Charlies post game press chat) mentions something about a player doing a backflip. I think they were referring to a Phil, but not sure. Anyone know what this is all about?

Zvon Apr 10 2013 09:04 PM Re: IGT - Mets v. Phils - 4.10.13

I didn't hear the question and I heard Charlie stumbling through his answer and I'm like WTF, some one did a back flip? He said bat-flip. lmao

I'm wondering if LaTroy Hawkins is some sort of Trojan Horse. And when the team gets back inside CitiField, a whole bunch of tiny Phillies are gonna climb out and wreck the place.

Yes it was Brown. And they asked Charlie if it bothered him. He said when he first came up (70s?) that stuff just didn't happen. Now, he says, players do it all the time, so it's not an issue with him. He stated that its not an issue with him but if his pitcher considers it an issue, then it becomes an issue. lol. I love listening to Charlie in press conferences.
