IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 08:22 AM

Eric Young, Jr. trying to nail down the team's fourth stolen-base title, and the first by somebody not named "Reyes." Colorado gets a share in whatever glory reflects on the franchise. Rival Jean Segura is expected to return to the team today, but whether he'll feel up to stealing is an open question. I imagine if he gets a shot, he'll go for it. He's got all winter for the hammy to heal. EYJ and Eric Young, Sr. would be the first father/son stolen base champs in... ever, I think. Aaron Harang appears for the Mets in what is likely to be his last start for the team. Be sure and wish him well. Milwaukee counters with top prospect Jimmy Nelson, making his first start after two relief appearances. David Wright appears likely to sit after jamming his thumb.

Here's to a smooth and refreshing thread title!

Ashie62 Sep 28 2013 10:26 AM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Juan Segura expected back for the Brewers...mid afternoon start... Another chance for Harang to impress for a 2014 job...When right he is an innings eater..

I thought Ashie was gonna take us out, close the season. I thought that would have been nice.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 03:26 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

I'm thinking that three pitches up at the batters' helmets is enough.

George Stone in the booth, virtually, via satellite. A real Mississippian.

"I do not do very much pitching at awl, faw the first two months." Pitched his way into the picture by doing well in the Mayor's Cup.

"Ah was the type of pitch-yoor that gave the A's trouble. Ah knew that and everuhbuddy else knew that."

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 03:35 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

"Ah was maybe mid-80s, but mah main thing was control and changing speeds." On "Ya Gotta Believe," Grant was solemn and never cracked a smile and nobody else did, and then they started wondering when it would end. He says that everybody smiled and laughed when McGraw stood up and yelled and grant did too.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 03:36 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

MIght not have done what they did if it hadn't been for Mays. Consummate teammate apparently. Very little contact with old teammates. Talked to Koosman a couple of times. Talked to "Stork Theodore" a couple of times.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 03:37 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Some of the plays down the stretch were "kinda spooky." "The Good Lord, for some reason, is lookin' out after us."

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 03:55 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Stolen base by Lucroy. Sad Recker breaks my heart.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 03:55 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

And holy crap, another Lagares assist on an offline throw.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:12 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Young may have more luck getting the stolen base title if they bench him at the start tomorrow and use him as a pinch runner.

Two batters and two strikeouts for Feliciano. I'm feeling lonely. But more than lonely.

MFS62 Sep 28 2013 04:21 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

I was listening in my car when the opposing pitcher was walking the ballpark and just plain wild. I was getting my scream ready, because I thought Recker would walk on four pitches and Q would stupidly swing at the first pitch. I had to use my scream on Recker. What was he thinking? That was just a dumb mistake. Gotta' go. Wifey's calling. Later

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:28 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Recker gets himself a single through the hole. Only the fourth hit on the afternoon. Sending up Q, possibly to bunt. Betancourt bobbles and the Mets have two guys on. PINCH RUN FOR THE CATCHER!

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:29 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Satin to pinch-hit. Probably to swing away.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:29 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Satin squaring, but...

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:33 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

It's 3-2 on Satin. Fouling shit off. I'm by my lonely.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:35 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

On the tenth pitch, he walks.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:38 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Young drives it to center but Gomez is all over it. One out. So lonely! So lonely! So lonely!

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:39 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Duda hits it a mile... high. Two away, and the burden is on Wrighty.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:40 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Bah... baseball.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:52 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Bases somehow loaded with one out agin' Black.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 04:57 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Brewers go up 2-1 on the hanging slider sac fly.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:02 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Mr. Hand in for the Brews.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:05 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Murphy hands him a base on ballz.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:10 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

But nothing.

Edgy MD wrote: Young may have more luck getting the stolen base title if they bench him at the start tomorrow and use him as a pinch runner. 44 SBs for him and Segura. This might be a very good idea. Even if its kinda Reyeish. But he might need more than one at bats worth of SBs if Segura gets more. Have him pinch run early and stay in. Guarantees at least one, maybe 2 chances. 3 if he steals home. 8th? 2-1

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:25 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

den Dekker walks with one out in the ninth. Good time to pinch-run right now. den Dekker? Tovar? Um... Davis? Anybubs? OE: dD gets the call.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:30 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Brown walks at the end of a long at-bat. Hand looks more like Randy Quaid than Ray Walston.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:30 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Thanks for making cameos in this thrad, Zvon and MFS62.

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:33 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

And boom-chaka-laka-laka... TIE GAME!!

Zvon Sep 28 2013 05:33 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Mah man Young comes thru. I wasn't expecting that. Tied!

Edgy MD Sep 28 2013 05:34 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Holy crap! Five-man infield against Duda? I do that shit against Young, but not Doodoo. And they pull their fastest and best-armed outfielder into the infield?

And Wright comes up. Do they stick with the clown alignment? Nope.

Holy magillicuddy. Game-winning hit is deflected and turns into a GiDP.

I think I could love a lot of women. Most of 'em Metwives.

Gary with a crack about the lines at shake shack..

I like the little tease, the tie in the 9th. That was extra special.

On to Piazza day..I hope it sells out and the Mets do Mikey proud.

Yes but the configuration that has elimnated virtually all foul territory in the outfield, and deflects shots down the line back toward the infield --- that's a near fundamental change in the game and I think a negative one.

Ashie62 Sep 28 2013 08:08 PM Re: IGT, 9/28, Old Milwaukee at New Amsterdam

Agreed...
