IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

Hoping Wheeler builds off stellar outing in San Fran, which feels like a month ago.

Wheeler has plus pitches all over the place and can be a little more wild. The Phillies like to swing, and hence hit Hefner's pitches in the zone. they will be MEAT tomorrow with Wheeler. 3 hits off Wheeler in 8 innings.

At some point Terry might want to think about getting Murphy and his .303 OBA out of the 2-spot.

Byrd drives in another run. Hamels looks like he's got nothing.

Swan Swan H Jul 20 2013 11:33 AM Re: IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

No problem with the Mets getting a cheezy hit once in a while. 2-1 Mets, bases loaded and one out.

Nymr83 Jul 20 2013 11:37 AM Re: IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

Recker barely beats the throw! RBI!

Swan Swan H Jul 20 2013 11:38 AM Re: IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

Hamels induces the easy DP grounder from Recker, but Young's double-clutch allows Recker to beat it out. 3-1 Mets.

Playing catchup. Looking to see how we scored. Did this really happen to start the game?: Eric Young : Ball, Strike looking, Young grounded bunt out to center.

Gary describes Ruf as "kind of like a Lucas Duda type playing left field." That may be a textbook example of slander.

Thank you. You can't trust technology. Ill assume they didn't screw up the Rollins lead off KaPhoom. We slapped Hamels right back in the first. Nice.

Wheeler only had one quick inning. Over 100 pitches now. Another jam to pitch out of. Bear down Zack.

You just loaded the bases, rook ... get off the field quicker, without the puss, and sit down and figure out how to do better next time.

I was surprised that Terry kept Germen in there. I like that he did that, and there's the bump. Rice will get the ball.

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2013 01:43 PM Re: IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

I was surprised that he brought Germen into the game in the first place (I figured on a more veteran reliever for such a high leverage spot) but the kid gave a good account of himself. Now as long as Rice doesn't fall apart here.

Tony Roberts is the big NYM fan (I rode an escalator with him at Shea one time) Although if it makes you feel any better, I think Tony Robbins, that 6' 8" motivational guru, should be plunked in the rump every once in a while just on general principles.

Zvon Jul 20 2013 01:52 PM Re: IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

Have you ever seen a play where the first baseman obstructs the runner from getting back to first by standing between him and the bag? I've never seen it the way it could have gone with Satin standing where he was.

Frayed Knot Jul 20 2013 01:55 PM Re: IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

I think All-Stars should get to keep those stars that were on the back of their collars during the ASG for the remainder of the year. But I just checked David's shirt and they're gone.

Zvon Jul 20 2013 01:59 PM Re: IGT 7/20/2013: PHI @ NYM -- Go Back, Zack, Do It Again

I guess any at bat where Ike does not have to swing is a good one. Actually, a big walk.

I hadn't realized the wore those this year at all. I thought Jeter didn't do it so it wasn't cool. Jake Diekman is a good name for a Knickebocker.

Smeriously, though, I was half joking when I said the key to winning was to hit the ball to the outfield, but reviewing the highlights, that had to be one of the dinkiest offensive outbursts in the Met record books. Manuel should position Delmon Young about 40 feet behind Utley tomorrow. At least when Lagares is up.
