One of my favorite of your works, Z.

I'll take Recker over Buck..

Double-double-single. 1 in, 2 on, 0 out for the Phils.

Zvon Jun 21 2013 05:33 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Brown did not score on the single? Wow. Two doubles and a single makes it 0-1 against. Ugh. I thought we had that DP. 0-2

Swan Swan H Jun 21 2013 05:38 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Not Murphy's best inning, here.

OOOO, that was a homer. Review it!

Zvon Jun 21 2013 05:59 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

I thought the meshy fence part was over the fence. I still do.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 21 2013 06:03 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Hey, at least it ain't no no-hit no more.

Swan Swan H Jun 21 2013 06:03 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

The ground rules at CBP state: OUTFIELD AREA Left Field: Over the fence and in plantings: Home Run. Looks like the right call.

Swan Swan H Jun 21 2013 06:04 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Wright makes it moot with an RBI single.

Ronnie also said it has to clear that meshy fence on top. They should paint the top bar of the meshy thing yellow. Is that thing there just to save the plants? Damn, A mix of a fast Rollins and a slow Duda equals end of inning. Wrights RBI single makes it 1-3.

Zvon Jun 21 2013 06:12 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

I won't use the ugly Recker throw joke. DOH

Swan Swan H Jun 21 2013 06:23 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Stranding a leadoff runner at second - that looks familiar.

Zvon Jun 21 2013 06:26 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

I won't use the ugly Recker at bat joke. eeek Wow, Lagares takes two! I like what I'm seeing from this guy.

Swan Swan H Jun 21 2013 06:33 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

EY with the 2-RBI single to tie it up. Murph follows with a single, and Wright can put 'em in the lead.

Zvon Jun 21 2013 06:33 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

BIG 2 RBI single from Young. And Young goes 1st to 3rd on a soft single by Muffy. Hey, I'm seeing good baseball. GO WRIGHT!

Zvon Jun 21 2013 06:44 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Don't give the lead right back Hef.

Frayed Knot Jun 21 2013 06:49 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Is it my imagination, or has the opposition had like 75 infield hits against us in the past week?

Zvon Jun 21 2013 06:53 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Damn, Lagares was playing super shallow on Ruiz. Good thing he goes back on the ball well. Nice catch, big out.

Fman99 Jun 21 2013 07:00 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Audio only, Josh and Howie on XM, thanks to the old WPIX/FIOS two holey pounding I take in Syracuse every year.

Zvon Jun 21 2013 07:04 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Exciting baseball! Lagares doubles in the gap and Duda scores from first. Nice slide by Lucas. He just made it. oe: I was not paying attention while Hef was up. Lags was not thrown out stealing? I could hear the booth but not see the action. 4-3 Mets

Swan Swan H Jun 21 2013 07:15 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

Hefner struck out while Lagares was stealing.

Ceetar Jun 21 2013 07:18 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

I was all excited about Lagares starting to hit until I realized he hasn't walked since April 28th and that's not going to cut it.

Zvon Jun 21 2013 07:34 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

The thing about Duda at first, he can make up for his bad hands by being so close to the base he gets another chance.

prior to tonight's 2 doubles and a single; Lagares was hitting .286 with 2 doubles and a triple in his last 9 starts...

Torres with another nice inning pitched. I'm liking Torres. I'm liking Met things. This is good.

That would be 21/45, or a .467 slugging percentage and an .800 OPS. For reference, Duda's OPS is .793 It seems like he's starting to get it.

Frayed Knot Jun 21 2013 08:16 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

I have no idea what to make of that call (callS really) at 2nd. I'd be throwing things around the room right now if that turned out to make a difference in the game, and it quite easily could have. Lagares was the star of the game both offensively and defensively. Three more not just scoreless but hitless innings for the NYM Pen.

If anyone learns any details, like in the post game show or press , please let me know what the hell happened there. The guy had to have some kind of reason to reverse that. A reason that can be seen or at least understood.

I've umped. I know it can be a bitch. And there are assholes like that parent everywhere. That's amature ball. What I'm saying is that its the major leagues. The guys with that gig should be the cream of the crop. The best in the business. How do these guys who are just so bad get to this level?

Benjamin Grimm Jun 22 2013 05:43 AM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

I think the Phillies announcers may be the least informed about the Mets (and, I assume, other Phillies opponents) than any other crew.

Agreed. I've been asked to ump my son's little league games and it is easily the most stressful thing you can do on a baseball field. As a player/fan/coach/parent I think I have a pretty good idea of what the right call is. The minute you're asked to be the decision maker the ability to make this distinction magically disappears (at least for me). One game I was asked to ump was particularly bad. In a league where even catching the ball is rare, there were about seven or eight bang-bang plays, including one to end a one-run game. On some of them, I was just blindly guessing. Afterwards I asked a buddy of mine (whose son is on the same team) if I was anywhere near right. He said I was a great ump, spreading my blown calls evenly over both sides.

Zvon Jun 22 2013 01:17 PM Re: IGT 6/21/13 - NYM @ PHI - Smoked Hamels

They spent a few minutes going over the reverse call on Baseball Tonight last night. They showed it, said it was odd, showed it from a bunch of angles, wondered why the ump did what he did, and then moved on. No interest in talking to a manager,a player, maybe even the ump himself to clarify things. And they opened the show going over Showalters tossing and the bad call involved with that. Seemed like a perfect time to talk about both. I love how Buck turned around and tossed all the umps.
