IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

Mets – Willets Point Apr 12 2013 09:44 PM

Weather permitting, this game starts at 4:10 pm et. Harvey (2-0) and Diamond (0-0) are your probables.

Frayed Knot Apr 13 2013 06:10 AM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

I predict a song sung blue by the Twins pitcher.

You should have saved this KTE title for Dillon's start.

Valdespin gives somebody the stinkeye, sits with his .400 average. Collin Cowgill - CF Daniel Murphy - 2B David Wright - 3B John Buck - C Lucas Duda - LF Marlon Byrd - RF Ike Davis - 1B Justin Turner - DH Ruben Tejada - SS Totally Awesome - RHP

Harvey made Morneau look like a fool. Turner takes advantage of his at bat with a double off the wall. Come on guys, lets get on the board.

More and more I run into blocked links and un-liftable images( the ability to rht clk & save). It sucks. I liked the days when they didn't control such things. I've collected quite an impressive Met image library.

I still don't know if Diamond's a member of the tribe, but Met hitters sure are treating him like he's a Bar Mitzvah Boy and they're the entertainment.

Oh Ike... I wanna see more of that goin to left. He was out by a mile. Worth the chance? I dunno, just glad he wasn't hurt. Turner uses his 2nd at bat to get another hit.

They had the wrong Diamond.

Zvon Apr 13 2013 03:50 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

Turner wastes an at bat. Wrights RBI earlier was his 90th in inter-league play, a new franchise record. He passed Piazza, who had 89.

When he said that I cringed a lil.

Up to 100 pitches. Aside from the hit and the 2 walks this has been a perfect game for Harv.

You can actually hear Keith leer when he talks about the kid. It would be a little alarming if I weren't feeling the exact same way right now.

Zvon Apr 13 2013 04:33 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

Turner uses that at bat to single.

Zvon Apr 13 2013 04:41 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

I like this situation. Parnell's first save chance with as big a cushion as possible.

Edgy MD Apr 13 2013 04:42 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

I prefer cushions too big for saves. Kinda messy offense today except for one inning when the team couldn't be stop't.

Zvon Apr 13 2013 04:45 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

Zvon Apr 13 2013 04:50 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

Those drives by the Twins don't even reach the wall. It seems every other one of our hits smack off that wall. Keep it under control Parnell.

What I said last Monday bears repeating here: "Folks, we got ourselves one seriously good pitcher on our hands here". Terry PH-ing with Valdy and then putting Nieuwenhuis in for CF defense seemed like a waste of a player who maybe, just maybe, would be needed later. Either PH with Nieuwy or leave Speen in the play CF.

Terry PH-ing with Valdy and then putting Nieuwenhuis in for CF defense seemed like a waste of a player who maybe, just maybe, would be needed later. Either PH with Nieuwy or leave Speen in the play CF. Agreed, but that's just Terry bein Terry. What he's doing with the outfield reminds me of the way Gil platooned the right side of the field (RF,2nd Base, 1st base)in '69. A little bit,anyways.

Frayed Knot Apr 13 2013 05:24 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

I have nothing against platooning; Baxter for Duda made absolute sense in this game for instance. But having already burned Baxter and then using Valdespin for a PH, it didn't make sense to pull Byrd and then use your last remaining OF in Nieuwenhuis (remember that emergency OF Turner was already in a DH). If Terry believes that Nieuwenhuis's defense is that much better than Cowgill and Valdy (questionable) then use him to PH, and if Terry thinks Valdespin was that much more likely to get in the 5th run than Nieuwenhuis then he can survive one inning with him in CF. And remember that this all started because he wanted to go lefty/righty for Cowgill (it's not like we were PH-ing for the pitcher here) so he wound up using three different CFs to cover the final four outs of the game. IOW, he was over-doing it there at the end IMO

Zvon Apr 13 2013 05:25 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

The only entree in the Historic Met journal for 4/13/13: "Buck did not hit one today."

Edgy MD Apr 13 2013 05:26 PM Re: IGT 4/13/13 - Mets @ Twins - "Chillin', Twin Killin'"

Mebbe, but 'Spin is the better offensive threat at this juncture, and Nieuey the better defender. It's not like the Mets were lookin' down the road at a likely attrition war. This is the American League where those almost never happen anyhow. You can be a little more liberal with your bench usage, and I imagine Terry knows that.

And he out-hit him last year both in the bigs and the mnors. Baxter was already in the game.
