NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Quintanilla Muffy Wright Duda Buck Ankiel Byrd Davis Marcum vs. Jacob Turner, one of the guys they got from Detroit last year, making his 2013 debut. He actually faced us twice last year and pitched pretty well. Fish, guys I've never heard of in bold Pierre Polanco Deitrich Ozuna Coughlan Lucas Dobbs Mathis Turner

Ceetar May 31 2013 01:56 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Jeff Mathis has been around a while. He's the guy that messed with my 'home runs by pitchers' post by pitching in two games one year.

Dietrich I just learned is 23-year old second-baseman acquired by the Marlins for Yunel Escobar. He's right-handed, has some decent pop, likes to juggle for sick kids, and his granddad played for the Tigers in '59 and the Indians in '60. "A trick is something a whore does for money. Bitch, I'm a juggler."

Is it Ol' Ben Lucas? [youtube:2sdx3vbp]-iCZz9Pk7no[/youtube:2sdx3vbp]

A Boy Named Seo May 31 2013 02:20 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Ed Lucas is kinda interesting, too. 31-year old career minor leaguer, he was the oldest member of the Marlin org to have never appeared in a major league game until yesterday (went 0-for-1 against Tampa and still looking for that first big league hit). He's an Ivy Leaguer (Dartmouth) who studied sociology and economics. "I loathe juggling and jugglers."

Frayed Knot May 31 2013 02:32 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Turner was the 9th overall draft pick by the Tigers out of a St Louis area HS and has been a major [Top 25] prospect on the horizon for the last three years despite (or maybe because) only turning 22 last week. His ten starts this year in New Orleans though have been only so-so [3-4; 4.47; 1.3 WHiP; 35/14 K/BB in 56 IP].

Keith singing the praises of Marlon Byrd.

Zvon May 31 2013 05:19 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Muffy with a single in the 1st and thats all we get. Which Marcum will we see tonight?

Zvon May 31 2013 05:31 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

In the first we see Shaun Marcum, the pitcher.

Zvon May 31 2013 05:39 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Ya know, I'm never interested in what the Yankees do aside from when we play em, but I am interested in this series w/Boston to see if the Sawx can hit em while they're down, and knock em down outta 1st even more--continue what the Mets started. I find that refreshing.

Edgy MD May 31 2013 06:05 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Pierre gets the first Marlin hit leading off the forth. He hurt us last series, too, right?

Edgy MD May 31 2013 06:06 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

And he leaves early on a stolen base attempt and gets nailed. Boom! Look at these Mets with the good fundies and everything.

Zvon May 31 2013 06:10 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Marcum continues to look like a pitcher. Our pitchers have been looking like pitchers. Good pitchers.

Zvon May 31 2013 06:14 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Top of the 5th and its 8:15. Yanks in the 4th leading 2-0 so that games movin too.

Zvon May 31 2013 06:15 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Adventures in Byrd running.

Zvon May 31 2013 06:16 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Damn you Byrd. Ike rips a deep double.

Edgy MD May 31 2013 06:18 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Ralph always told me not to get annoyed by those sorts of things. "You never know, if the baserunner is still out there," Ralph would say, "if the batter is even going to get the same pitch." Really importantly, however, opposite field double for Davis. BINGO!

Zvon May 31 2013 06:27 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

I figured there's no way these Fish games can't be anti-climactic after that last series sweep/sweep. My fan energy is low, like hungover. And now things get interesting. Bases all fishy, 1 out, Marcum to Mathis.

Zvon May 31 2013 06:30 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

DP! Niiiiice.

Edgy MD May 31 2013 06:30 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

What a tailor-made DP. Mercy.

I remember him saying that to Tim McArthur in a similar situation, after a double by Gary Cooper.

Q the rally!

Murph rips one long and far and damn you laws of physics!

Zvon May 31 2013 07:00 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Marcum in a mess (

Swan Swan H May 31 2013 07:01 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

There's the K, now the double play.

Edgy MD May 31 2013 07:04 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Nope, first big league hit instead. Down 1-0.

Zvon May 31 2013 07:05 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

shitcrap. Well, we have to score one run ourselves to have a chance, more now. Shame if we waste this outing by Marcum.

Fman99 May 31 2013 07:06 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Well darnit. C'mon, ground ball, make yourself known.

Zvon May 31 2013 07:07 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

I shouldn't say that until Shauns outing is over.

Fman99 May 31 2013 07:12 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

How do we play so poor against these bush league assholes, anyway?

Zvon May 31 2013 07:14 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Did Keith just acknowledge and dismiss the dead soldier comment? If so well done sir.

Kong76 May 31 2013 07:18 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Mets still suck ... alert the media

Zvon May 31 2013 07:24 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

I'll admit Turners beard is looking better but it still looks like an attachment for a vacuum.

Fman99 May 31 2013 07:25 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Base hit for Omar Quesadilla.

Edgy MD May 31 2013 07:25 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Quinto is unflappable, man.

Zvon May 31 2013 07:26 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Murphy hits one long and far and thank you laws of physics.

Edgy MD May 31 2013 07:28 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

And hand it to Muprhy, hitting it just where he hit it last time he came up with Q on base, but this time out of the centerfielder's reach.

Kong76 May 31 2013 07:30 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Swing the fargin' bat!!!!

Getting dusted by the Marlins...Yikes..

Zvon May 31 2013 07:35 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Come on Ike. Simple hop.gah

Edgy MD May 31 2013 07:36 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Poor Burke. Striding toward the plate like a grownup and everything.

Kong76 May 31 2013 07:47 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

FEH

Zvon May 31 2013 07:49 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

Mets lose. Marcum was great for 6!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 31 2013 08:07 PM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

I'm no big Phillies fan, but have a very soft spot for most of Philadelphia and its people. Some of my favorite people are from DC. And heck-- Atlanta's an okay spot, too, with warm folk and food and hospitality. But I will never not hate this stupid fucking town and this stupid fucking team and its stupid fucking frontrunning fans and its venal fucking ownership group.

Edgy MD Jun 01 2013 08:35 AM Re: NYM @ FLA 5/31/13

It's a good object lesson. I don't consider it a letdown, but beating the Yankees don't mean the offense has their shit together. And two stupid flares off the end of the bat in the seventh are bad breaks but they shouldn't have been in a position for those breaks being the diff.

Exactly, and with some runs and/or a lead Marcum probably pitches differently. I know they played to permit the run already, but if it's 3-0 with runners on you simply do what you do to get an out, not worry about how to get that out or if you can get/need multiples in one play.
