IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 31 2014 04:55 PM

Because tomorrow is another day. Another day without baseball. But the day after that? Hey!

Edgy MD Apr 01 2014 08:47 AM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

That's the spirit.

Ceetar Apr 02 2014 01:19 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

Juan Lagares – CF Wilmer Flores – 2B David Wright – 3B Curtis Granderson – RF Chris Young – LF Josh Satin – 1B Travis d’Arnaud – C Ruben Tejada – SS Bartolo Colon – RHP

The lineup of the future, here today! I'm excited to see some Flores action and i like the Satin-platoon idea. Platooning was popular in the pre-steroid era and looks to be making something of a comeback.

Ashie62 Apr 02 2014 04:56 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

I like the lineup also... Now hit team...hit...

Ashie62 Apr 02 2014 05:17 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

Chris Young appears to have reinjured his quad... I like this signing even less now...

Zvon Apr 02 2014 05:23 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

Laggy w/the TriBOOM™!

Zvon Apr 02 2014 05:27 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

C. Young removed. Same leg issue.

Plenty of OF's in the system to find out about... Duda even... This looks like a one month quad...

Frayed Knot Apr 02 2014 06:25 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

Colon was getting away with far too many loud outs early on to think that it wasn't going to come back and bite him sooner or later.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 02 2014 06:26 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

More gopher in this inning-- like FK said, even the outs are billowy-- than the Caddyshack denouement.

Watching Colon bunting was rather comical.

Fman99 Apr 02 2014 06:50 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

Colon served up a meatball there to give up the leadoff single. I'm surprised he's willing to share the meatballs with another person. HIYO

So did the new rules influence Tejada on that non play at the plate? and keith is correct, no wheels.

You're still allowed to hit the catcher if he's in the line and has the ball; you just can't go out of your way to hit him if he doesn't. and keith is correct, no wheels. Ruben does lack in the wheels department.

Looks like the Mets are already in mid-season Citi Field form, as far as actual fans in attendance are concerned. Which is to say, nobody's at the game.

That's a 10-pitch strikeout for Grandy. #progress!

Still got a good shot here if Roob gets on to start it.

Just seeing Lags come into his own and hopefully evolve as a hitter, that could be enough to keep me happy for a while. Course I want them to win more than they lose and already it's an uphill climb.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 02 2014 08:13 PM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

Not to say it again but if Colon gets that bunt down it changes everything.

Zvon Apr 03 2014 11:21 AM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

That play at the plate yesterday shows me 2 things. 1)The rule is fucked up. It changes nothing except a players thinking. 2) Tejada is still thinking with his head up his ass.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 03 2014 11:23 AM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

I'm not convinced of (1) but am inclined to agree with (2). I got frustrated last year in softball when 12-year-old girls approached the plate the way Tejada did. I have to think that I'd expect even more of Tejada than I would from a 12-year-old girl.

I have to think that I'd expect even more of Tejada than I would from a 12-year-old girl. If he could have dropped his shoulder and made contact, something that I thought was no longer allowed (Gary today says it is okay to do that), then it changes nothing. Is this rule for the handful of jerkoffs in MLB who would chase a catcher up the line just to clobber him? And before the rule wouldn't he still have gotten tossed for that?

Frayed Knot Apr 03 2014 11:44 AM Re: IGT 4/2: Washington @ Mets

The only thing the new rule says is that: - if the catcher does NOT have the ball then he can't be in the baseline (cuz, if so, the runner will be called safe anyway) - and that if the catcher is NOT blocking the plate then the runner can't hit him (cuz, if so, he's going to be called out anyway) If Tejada is somehow confused by the rule then he has no one to blame but himself.
