Re: IGT 6/20/13: NYM-ATL, Roman Polanski Rubber Game

Based on recent results (and the admittedly tiny Wheeler sample size) Niese is no better than the fifth starter right now.

Young-7
Murphy-4
Wright-5
Byrd-9
Duda-3
Buck-2
Lagares-8
Quintanilla-6
Niese-1

So Terry is saying that in CF Lagares > Young > Nooey, I guess.

Re: IGT 6/20/13: NYM-ATL, Roman Polanski Rubber Game

If Niese is the fifth starter, then something is going right.

It may be only about 26.35% of the puzzle, these days, but it's something.

Young drew an 11-pitch walk and Murph was ahead 1-0. The hit-and-run needed to be on there. Instead it's a DP.

It's like he thought Hawkins had no business striking out the mighty Freddie Freeman. A little pissed I'd understand, but he broke his damn bat over his knee.

Small sample so far but Young bunts 100% of the time when I don't want him to, and doesn't bunt in 100% of all situations where he shoulda.

If they got Satin to 3rd he might have scored on that soft grounder.

Josh Edgin gets it done. Stupid Heyward slides into first and it doesn't help him any.

Yeah, that was pretty dumbass. I'm kind of sorry I didn't get to see Heyward and Duda collide at full speed. It would have been like the time they ran those two locomotives together.

or like the time Cameron and Church collided and Church was never the same again... I'll pass on that.

Now, waitie, I think you're conflating. Church was concussed during a spring collision with Marlon Anderson. He re-injured himself against these very same Braves busting his ass on a takeout slide trying to stop what became a game-ending double play. I guess Yunel Escobar was the shortstop then.

Cameron collided (horribly) with Carlos Beltran.

Now I find it odd to be saying "fuck you" there for any reason. I'll have to look that play over after the game.

I just looked this play over and after Duda crosses the bag the camera cuts to another view with Duda in the backround, Edgin in the foreground. It was Edgin who says "fuck" or "fuckin' something" under his breath.
Ha. I like this coming from a pitcher in any situation, even though it's possible he said that in relief.

I think it's a minor scandal that Young started over Brown against the lefty, and I'm trusting that it won't happen again.

But Young is a certified LEAD-OFF!!!! hitter.

Re: IGT 6/20/13: NYM-ATL, Roman Polanski Rubber Game

I'm glad we have Young. But like most guys in this offense, I want him to earn every plate appearance. And he hasn't. AB has at least earned some starts against lefties, and if that means Murphy or Quinto or Lagares or somebody uncertified bats leadoff, I can deal.

Brownie, you're doing a great job

The one good thing about Young out there in the 9th last night was that Parnell had to feel good about an OF of Young - Lagares - Byrd behind him.
Some of our early season defensive alignments were not nearly as comforting.

Sure, that's definitely a higher-end defensive alignment, but I'm still behind Brown getting those first three at-bats.

I'm curious to see if Terry finds any work for Young in the infield.

Nooey was in left for the last inning, with Lagares and Byrd. He pinch-hit for Edgin and stayed in.

Young's fourth inning diving catch might have saved two runs, but he seemed to have it lined up to make sure it stayed in front of him even if he didn't close his glove on the ball.
