IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreakers

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 11:18 AM

Lucas gets a DudaDay off, and Lagares is also sitting. Pettibone has been pretty lousy in four of his past five starts, and really bad in the last two. OE: Duda sent back to NY for an MRI on his side. The Mets will have some hard promises for Pettibone. Damn the torpedoes, let's hit some balls into the great wide open and long after dark he'll be sitting in a gutter with a bad case of full moon fever. Hey, Jonathan, you're gonna get it! Mets Eric Young Jr., cf Jordany Valdespin, 2b David Wright, 3b Marlon Byrd, rf Daniel Murphy, 1b John Buck, c Kirk Nieuwenhuis, lf Omar Quintanilla, ss Dillon Gee, rhp Phillies Jimmy Rollins, ss Chase Utley, 2b Michael Young, 3b Ryan Howard, 1b Domonic Brown, lf John Mayberry, rf Ben Revere, cf Carlos Ruiz, c Jonathan Pettibone, rhp

Sorry to hear about Duda. Losing him could hurt the team. Who do we got at Vegas? Is this Davis guy any good?

themetfairy Jun 22 2013 11:44 AM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Why does he have to be sent back to New York for the MRI? It's the 21st Century, and there are state of the art hospitals in Philadelphia. MRI images can be made available to the team's New York doctors seconds after they are completed. Unless it's a matter where time is of the essence and he'd have to be rushed into surgery (which does not appear to be the case in this instance), why not just have him examined locally?

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 02:26 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Mets go down meekly, and the Phils go single-single-PB-single for two runs.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 02:44 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Q nearly Pet-debones the pitcher with a liner, Gee pushes him over, runner on second, one out.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 02:47 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

A bunt single by Young and a grounder by Valdy halves the lead.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 02:56 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Gee settling down. 2-1 Phils, end of the third.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 03:08 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Howard goes to the opposite field and over the foliage. 3-1.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 03:26 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

4-1 Phils, bottom of the fifth. I feel like Earl Holliman in that diner.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 03:29 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Gee gets Rollins and Utley, but Young takes him deep. Howard then bombs one to right. 6-1, and Gee hasn't retired Howard since ever.

Zvon Jun 22 2013 03:29 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

So this business with the ump making two calls a play becomes a joke. No serious talk or inquiries to the ump as to why he did this? Amazin'

Zvon Jun 22 2013 03:47 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Gee gives us 5 innings, only 67 pitches. No beer for you Dillon. That sucked.

Q's line single to right makes it 7-2 as Buck lumbers in to score. 1st & 3rd. No out. Satin and his eyebrows at the plate.

Zvon Jun 22 2013 04:13 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Josh should grow Shamsky like sideburns. Take some pressure offAthem brows. Satin walks and we got ducks all over.

Edgy MD Jun 22 2013 04:14 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

Stutes walks Satin to load the bases. Still no outs and the tying run in the on-deck circle. I like that Stutes.

Valde puts it in play (6-3) and another run scores. GJ Jordany. 7-5

Eric Young Jr. is our best outfielder.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 04:24 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

I was waiting for Adrian Johnson to change that to a strike.

Brilliant. Walk for Byrd. Piteher change That's a lot of bullpenners to stagger through this seventh even if they don't score again. Bult let's have them score again.

I'm going with Valdespin. Is this like the Buccigross overtime challenge? Do I win a t-shirt if I'm right? Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

Edgy MD Jun 22 2013 04:42 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

I go with Nieuwenhuis.

Buck don't like the home plate umping either.

Swan Swan H Jun 22 2013 04:43 PM Re: IGT 6/22/13 - NYM @ PHI - Petti(bone) vs. the Heartbreak

That takeout at second was more Valdespin's poor footwork than Rollins being vicious. Most second basemen get out of there unscathed.

And that's why you don't save the closer. And not that Parnell couldn't have blown things apart just as easily ... but supposing someone were to put it to the manager this way: In which situation is it more difficult to succeed and has the greater consequence for allowing a run -- Preventing the home team from scoring and winning from a tied game? OR -- Preventing the home team from scoring and winning in a game where they're trailing? You won't get a straight answer of course, you'll get a run-around about how the situation dictates how pitchers pitch and about comfort zones and all that. The sad part about it all is that all 30 ML managers would give you the same gobbledy-gook. (Joe Maddon might give you smarter-sounding gobbledy-gook but I still think he'd do things the same way) The extra sad part is that, unlike many closers (say like Franco, Looper, Wagner, Rodriguez in our recent past), Parnell was NOT a guy specifically hired to be a closer, so there should be no agreements (unspoken or otherwise) broken, no missed bonus clauses for saves, and no agents calling bemoaning the fact that his guy was used in the dreaded 'Non-Save' situation. He wasn't even the closer until Frank-Frank couldn't recover in time; the job more or less fell into his lap in February. And the the REAL sad part about it all is that the Phils were not only reeling by the 9th inning but had run through their pen at least as bad as we had through ours and were left with just two recent call-ups to man the fort for who knows how many innings. Throw up one more Zero on the board and I definitely liked our chances.

Is it just me, or are the Mets involved in more walk-off games than usual this season? It seems to be happening more than most seasons on both the winning and losing ends.
