Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:06 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Terry made it clear that Ike was coming back to play. And if you don't want Ike facing a rookie making his second big league start, well then, you don't want Ike.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:07 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

I'm pretty sure Ashie don't want Ike.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2013 06:12 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Look at those middle of the lineup batting averages ... Davis - .161 Nieuwenhuis - .179 Lagares - .233 Buck - .205

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:12 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

This Hellweg is, as Lindsey Nelson used to say, a long drink of water. Then again, Lindsey once referred to Donn Clendenon as a 'long knocker' and my father laughed so hard I thought he was going to break a blood vessel. Leadoff hits are nice. I like leadoff hits.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:16 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Big RBI spot for this Davis kid I've been hearing about.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:16 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

He lays off a curve below his knees. I celebrate this.

Zvon Jul 05 2013 06:17 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

I'm having a flashback. Oh, Davis is back. His eye looks good.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:17 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Good eye. Sheesh, that feels like Ike's first walk in a month.

Zvon Jul 05 2013 06:20 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Didn't expect this....from them. Suck up this long glass of water. Then spit him out.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:22 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Hellweg makes his pitch, but his infielders are no help. 2-0 Metsies.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:24 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Didn't Lyon have room for Buck in his DFAmobile?

Zvon Jul 05 2013 06:30 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Damn Murph. We had to get an out there.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:32 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

A lot of baserunners on this Milwaukee team.

Zvon Jul 05 2013 06:32 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

haha, what a mess. Great play and throw by Q. Buck, you're an idiot. Tied 2-2

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:33 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Oh, Murph. The more time he has to think, the more trouble he seems to have. Wake up, Buck, there's another runner on base, and whoah.... there he goes while you're congratulating yourself on tagging a guy who was out by ten feet.

I was thinking the same thing about Buck and I thought : why don't you just take a bow you idiot. HA! Hellweg sucks.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:42 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Brewers playing defense like a last-placey team.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:44 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

I'd maybe almost give Hellweg a pass if there were none out, but that ends the inning if he goes 1-6-3. Is the roof closed at Miller Park? Somebody oughta check the carbon monoxide detectors.

Zvon Jul 05 2013 06:45 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Bases loaded for Ike. Just dont K and Ill be happy.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:46 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

He's hit three foul grounders. I have a feeling if he gets his timing right he's going to ground out to first.

Zvon Jul 05 2013 06:47 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

I like it. I really like that at bat.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:47 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Wow, hitting against the shift. Lub it.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 06:47 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

An infield hit for Ike Davis. It's the top of the second and it's already the strangest game I've seen in a long time.

Edgy MD Jul 05 2013 06:48 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Weeks carrying a little extra Weeks for an infielder maybe.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2013 06:49 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Seven runs in less than an inning and a half and I don't think there's been a hard hit ball from either side yet.

Zvon Jul 05 2013 06:49 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Keith disagrees. But no K, and a productive out. I like it. Admiral Kirk with a big 2 ribby single to right. wow, 5-2. I was hoping for a nice boring game tonight. And of course, we get this.

Zvon wrote: Keith disagrees. I'm with Keith. Ike barely got that on the end of the bat and was lucky that he found some vacant grass in front of a statue at third and a shortstop playing behind the bag at second. But he didn't strike out.

He got good rips at the pitches he liked. He fought off the pitches he didn't like. He took pitches that used to fool him. And then hit the grounder on a pitch he always missed. It was an ugly swing, out in front, but he got his hands/bat to the ball. (meh, maybe im just hunting for positives) Statue at 3rd,lol. I like that.

Nice swing on that Wheeler

At 60 pitches thru 3 innings, this isn't a good beginning considering our worn-out bullpen. And I assume that Torres is unavailable for the evening.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 07:26 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Now that's a decent swing by Ike.

Zvon Jul 05 2013 07:26 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

That's a little more convincing. The only thing I can see is his legs are closer together. He's more upright. But hitch there, same swing, it looks.

Swan Swan H Jul 05 2013 07:28 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Nooey!

Zvon Jul 05 2013 07:29 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Go Kirk! That wasn't such a great swing. Baseball is so wacky like that.

That was funny! Some tell Satin he's on camera and to stop chewing on his fingers.

Fman99 Jul 05 2013 08:02 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Given Muffie's recent struggles, I'd like to see Satin start taking grounders at 2B. After all no one thought Murphy could play 2B in the majors either, and he's doing a passable job there on defense most nights. Or, have Young play more at 2B and make room in the OF that way for Satin.

Fman99 Jul 05 2013 08:11 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Wheeler looking shaky in the 5th. Two outs away from putting himself in line for a win and he's loading them up. C'mon, dude, focus.

Lefty Specialist Jul 05 2013 08:19 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Glad that Wheeler could navigate through 5, but whenever the Mets get into a battle of the bullpens, it's problematic.

Frayed Knot Jul 05 2013 08:26 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Not sure that second steal was the best strategy. With Buck lately, a Sac Fly is sometimes the best you can hope for. And as I'm typing Buck smacks one up the middle. Cue Emily Lattila

Byrd robbed of a dinger there by Carlos Gomez.

Go-Go Gomez has done that a couple of times this year. Being fast and 6' 4" with Ups has its advantages.

Ill give Ike some rope. I missed the K last time up. I imagine it was borderline and he hemmed and hawed. How he took that 3-1 fastball this at bat, ill never know. He did rip one after that.

What's that now, two Milwaukee runners cut down at 3rd and two more at home so far? Between their running and their defense, they're doing us a bunch of favors tonight.

Fman99 Jul 05 2013 08:58 PM Re: IGT 7/5/13 Mets @ Brewers Wheeler v. Hellweg

Too early to call anybody "cured" at this point, but both Kirk & Ike are looking better since their respective returns from Vegas.
