SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Bobby O in the booth.

Wheeler on the mound. Tejada with a chance to win me back at short.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 11:13 AM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

OH,OH! You don't go for that extra base off Lagares. Simmons out going 1st to third on a single to short right center.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 11:26 AM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Bobby Os a natural in the booth. 0-0 Mets after 1.

Ashie62 Mar 09 2014 11:28 AM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Wheeler's baby face and the beard don't quite hook up...

Zvon Mar 09 2014 11:31 AM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Clark is not a glove man at first. Tejada, 1 grounder, decent play. +1

Zvon Mar 09 2014 11:32 AM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Wheeler in a fix. 1st & 3rd, 2 out.

Mets threatening. 1st & 3rd, 1 out. Base hit by.....#60! 1-0 Mets.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 11:49 AM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Tejada Ks on a called 3rd strike to end the inning. -1/3

Zvon Mar 09 2014 12:00 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Whew. Wheeler with 3 good innings. He hit a few bumps & he rode em out. 1-0 Mets, mid 3rd Guyz says Parnell will pitch today.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 12:21 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Medlen hurt? Shoot, I wasn't paying attention. Looks like Medlen was removed due to injury.

d'Kong76 Mar 09 2014 12:23 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Medlen walks off mound after two uncomfortable pitches ... not a good sign.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 12:23 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Grabbed his elbow. Then threw a pitch and walked right off the mound and removed himself. Not good for him.

Ashie62 Mar 09 2014 12:37 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Good for the Mets perhaps...

Zvon Mar 09 2014 12:38 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Tejeda fouls out to end the Mets 5th. -1/3 Ashie62 wrote: Good for the Mets perhaps... Yea, I hate to see that and then think: things are lookin' up. But that's baseball.

Can't think like that, it can happen to your guy tomorrow. Again.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 01:24 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

WHOA! Brown just threw a Brave out at the plate with a perfect peg after charging in on a single. Close play at the plate leaves no lane but the ball arrives just ahead of the runner. Bang,Bang!

Zvon Mar 09 2014 01:28 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Mets take the lead 2-1 on a bunt gone wild.

It's raining runs!

Mets broke it open last inning, 8-1. I was afk, not sure what happened. Parnell on for the 9th.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 01:54 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Parnell's beard is certainly ready. 0 out, bases juiced.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 01:56 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Bobby gets a break. That end guy on the DP was safe. 2 out, 8-2 Mets.

MFS62 Mar 09 2014 01:57 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Where did all that scoring come from? Who got the key hits? Later

Zvon Mar 09 2014 01:58 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

GJ Parnell! He wasn't sharp but he didn't grab his neck at all. His last pitch was a beaut. Mets Win, 8-2

Zvon Mar 09 2014 02:13 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

MLB.TV won't cooperate. It keeps starting the game over from the beginning when I jump to a late inning.

Zvon Mar 09 2014 02:37 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Finally played. Big bunt single by Seratelli that the Braves pitcher threw into right allowing denDekker to score. Braves left fielder Joey Terd{..} dropped a shallow routine fly to left. Kevin Plawecki ripped a double all the way to the wall down the left field line. Muno, and a hustling Puuello both score. Braves Brandon Allen makes a very Murphish error and Plawecki scored. den Dekker triples down the right field line. The right fielder bobbled the ball, picked it up and dropped it, fell on his ass, kicked it away, and then chased after it (a little embellishment there but not much). Clark scored. Some good hitting, some very sloppy fielding.

He got most of that right. Dalkowski did get hurt in Spring against the Yankees, but accounts --- including his own --- disagree on whether it was pitching or making a throw to first. He did pitch again, through 1965, but his legendary heater was gone. Read High Heat for wealth of Dalkowski material.

MFS62 Mar 09 2014 03:16 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

I saw the game on tv. He grabbed his arm and walked off the mound after throwing a pitch that missed everything by a mile. I was paying attention to the game because he was famous in the minors for having great strikeout and walk numbers and this was the first time he was on tv. If he was throwing it to first, maybe that was an indication of his legendary lack of control. Or, something just snapped in the middle of his delivery. But it was closer to home than to first. Later

Edgy MD Mar 09 2014 03:35 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Perhaps the injury initially occurred during the throw to first, and he came to know the extent of it when he delivered a subsequent pitch. I certainly believe your account. The throw-to-first account was supposedly with Jim Bouton running, but that may just be Bouton talking.

MFS62 Mar 09 2014 03:39 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Yes, could be we're both correct. Either way, it was a shame. Later

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 09 2014 09:25 PM Re: SIGT-Mets chop up the Braves

Scene from today's game: Fred Wilpon, building bridges. In between two days of YoungerPooper birthday festivities, watched a little of both weekend games... and it seemed every time I looked up, Lagares was doing something mildly-positive (singling)-to-excellent (throwing out Simmons at third today).
