IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Frayed Knot Jul 14 2013 07:51 AM

Still looking for my first IGT win of the year in this last game before the break. But all streaks must come to an end some time and today is a good time to Bas-steal a win from the first-place Pirates. We may have been Harvey-less on Saturday but the Pirates are all out of Locke today as scheduled starter (and All-Star) Jeff Locke is sitting this one out with back spasms. Instead, Dillon Gee will see former #1 overall draft pick Gerritt Cole as his opponent. Called up earlier this season, Cole has made six starts in his ML career - winning the first four before losing the most recent two against Oakland & Philly. 39 hits, 20 Ks, 7 BBs and 15 ER in 36.2 innings overall for Cole.

Pirates aim for best 1st-half record since '71, sweep of Mets

The Mets can't blow this series..they just can't...

Bad Kirkiness there. A shame.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 14 2013 11:56 AM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

I'll buy that for a Buck!!

Funny being at a game at Citi Field and seeing the Mets score on the out-of-town scoreboard.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 12:31 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

This is going well. I figured Ike would start to give him a chance to go into the break with something other than what he's been doing. Satin shows why he's in there. Line single to right in the third.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 12:37 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

And for the record Mets are up 3-0 mid third. Buck drove in a couple in the first? Nice.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 12:47 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Gee gives them a run. I hope that play on the squibbler didn't rattle him.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 14 2013 01:05 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Gee's biggest mistake has been bunting into a strikeout, so far.

Frayed Knot Jul 14 2013 01:15 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Mets have had Cole on the verge of being yanked from this game several times. But now they've hit into the last five outs on just six pitches starting with the Young GiDP to end the 4th.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 01:25 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Crap. I missed this "defensive gem" from Newy. Howd it look? I don't have MLBTV up cuz this is on TV. No replays on demand :(

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 01:38 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Laggy slamming a Red Bull in the dugout.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 01:39 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

I fired up MLBTV. Very very nice catch. That was slicing away from him. MLBTV is at least ten seconds ahead of WPIX. This proves my theory that all this technology has put time out of sync.

Tough break there Danny boy. Picked off by a ground ball.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 02:02 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Gee will not make it thru 7. Hes gassed. Great job today tho. Only a couple of Ks but only five hits. *salute

Zvon Jul 14 2013 02:03 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Ol man Atch to close the hatch.

Frayed Knot Jul 14 2013 02:03 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Nice job by Gee keeping the Buccos down while the bats were busy trying NOT to score since the three-run 1st. Wish he had gotten just one more out though.

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 02:03 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Nuttin' against Atchy Scratchy, but do we really want his first game back in months to be with the tying run at the plate?

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 02:05 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

But man, he struck Marte out twice, didn't he?

McCutcheon, man. He's the reason you have All Star games.

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 02:18 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

And Alvarez takes a cut that would embarrass Valdespin.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 02:23 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Nice. Hawkins gets thru his bumps with minimal damage.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 02:24 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

4-2. More runs would be sweet. Parnell all set for the 9th.

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 02:28 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Disastrous result, but nice cut there by Davis.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 02:28 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Guys has been very good today. Almost don't miss Gary. Ike can take a tailor made double play into the break.

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 02:31 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Let's like it down and fly into the second half.

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 02:33 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

ONE.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 02:37 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

First and second. Pee don't fail me now.

Kong76 Jul 14 2013 02:38 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

They can't, ya know, like blow this ....

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 14 2013 02:40 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

And there was much rejoicing...

Edgy MD Jul 14 2013 02:40 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

And they DON'T blow it.

Zvon Jul 14 2013 02:41 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

WOOT! Way to go! Have a great all star break folks!

Frayed Knot Jul 14 2013 02:44 PM Re: IGT - 7/14/13 - Mets @ Pittsburgh

Even if he wasn't the final out, there no way you can over-emphasize how big getting Mercer was at that point with McCutcheon & Alvarez coming up behind him. I would have considered Parnell walking him to be a bigger sin there than just about anything.
