Ruben Tejada – SS Daniel Murphy – 2B David Wright – 3B Ike Davis – 1B Lucas Duda – LF John Buck – C Mike Baxter – RF Juan Lagares – CF A Reason For Living – RHP

Ceetar May 12 2013 08:15 AM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

I'd like Baxter higher up (perhaps first, since Tejada isn't hitting..) or at least ahead of Buck but otherwise I like this lineup. a billion runs. you heard it here first.

Beauty of a barehanded play by Wright - and a Hodges-level cheat by Ike - gets Marte leading off. 26 to go!

1-2-3. Nothing close to leaving the infield.

Harveys human! Is Lagares? I dunno. Makes two diving catches on one line drive. Never seen that before. He dove, caught it, it popped out of his glove mid dive and he reached out while flying and caught it again. Amazin'

Could have been worse. Buccos take a 2-1 lead.

Score some runs..

Frayed Knot May 12 2013 01:00 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

So we've got Duda's HR and those two long drives by Murph & Wright. Other than that I can't remember the last time they even got a ball out of the infield.

Frayed Knot May 12 2013 01:03 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

Pirates have used more pitchers than the Mets have hits.

When you only hit three balls out of the infield all game it's tough to claim that you're getting robbed or hitting into bad luck with 'at-em' balls.

There ya go. Bax ties it with a bloop single that scores John Beck Buck.

Zvon May 12 2013 01:29 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

Turner better be a decoy. I want a Harvey win. Bax steals second. hmm

Zvon May 12 2013 01:31 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

Bax steals 3rd,. Hmm. But Laggy Ks. And Turner will bat for Matt. Well, he still can get the win if Turnip uses this at bat wisely.

Zvon May 12 2013 01:34 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

Turner strikes out. Of course he strikes out.

Frayed Knot May 12 2013 01:37 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

Last full time through the lineup and exactly TWO balls were put into play: Wright's FO and Baxter's bloop. If it weren't for the wild pitch in the middle there they wouldn't have scored at all. Tejada - BB Murph - K Wright - FO Davis - K Duda - K Buck - BB + wild pitch Baxter - 1B + SB + SB Lagares - K Turner (PH'ing) - K You know you're in trouble when you're relying on John Buck's base-running skills to build runs.

OOO,Parnell coming on in the 8th.Tied 2-2.

Zvon May 12 2013 01:54 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

A line base hit off Bobby gives the game to the Bucs. The ball also goes right thru Laggys legs. 3-2 not us

Zvon May 12 2013 02:02 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

And again in this inning: leadoff walk who then never advances an inch and two more Ks are hung up on the board. Gary should credit you when quoting you.

Okay, I'm out of Harvey win mode and into Met win mode. One out double by Muffy in the 8th.

Edgy MD May 12 2013 02:05 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

Okey dokey. Passed ball. Infield in. Totally pick him up.

Edgy MD May 12 2013 02:08 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

Wright walked. Had been (and still is) 8-9 in plating a runner on third with less than two out. Melancon, who hadn't walked anybody this season, clearly wasn't about getting beaten by him. Ike, I look to you.

If that doesn't hit the base then Sanchez hugging the line most likely gloves it ... so we sort of got lucky then unlucky in rapid succession. As usual of late though, we got the outs in the wrong order.

In the 9th it'll be Buck - Baxter - Lagares - then either Valdespin or Byrd Those first two guys have been our best hitter and runner of late ... just in the opposite way from what one would expect

Zvon May 12 2013 02:24 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

How many pitches does Parnell have? He shook Buck off like 6 times there on one pitch. Annnnnnnnnd,he walks him.

Only appropriate that it ends that way. They put three balls in play over the final two innings: the Murph 2B, the Baxter FO, and the ball-off-the-base trick. Everything else was a walk or a K

Starting with the home half of the 6th inning: - Five of the last 17 Met batters (none of them pitchers) put the ball into play: two were hits, two flied out, and Duda's carom shot. - Three drew walks (one semi-intentional) - and the other NINE of the 17 K'd Each slot in the batting order batted twice in that sequence except for the 9-spot (once): - Seven of the nine slots K'd at least once with the clean-up slot (Ike) and 8th slot (Lagares & Valdespin) K-ing twice - only 3rd (Wright) and 7th (Baxter) didn't strike out - both pinch-hitters K'd (Turner & Valdespin) And all that was just a four inning stretch. Ain't gonna win ball games that way. And now we get to go on the road and face a tough pitching staff!

Edgy MD May 12 2013 06:23 PM Re: IGT 5/12/2013: PIT @ NYM -- This Is Why We Have A Harvey

For some reason I have more faith in them on the road against a tougher staff than at home against the Allegheneys. It's probably a good time to take Duda aside and tell him he's betting cleanup for the next month. Davis looked so bad on his last at-bat I wanted to cry. And his butt was flying out all series even on his pinch double. The notion that there are present indications that his troubles are behind him are wishful thinking.
