Nothing can be as bad as yesterday. Right?

One would hope not.

wow, place is empty

metirish Apr 14 2014 07:57 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Granderson whacked the wall catching a ball..he dropped it...staying in the game

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 07:58 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

The guy smashed his forearm and elbow. Why do you check if he's alright by making him do a few dashes? Give him a ball and see if he can throw.

Fman99 Apr 14 2014 07:59 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Sleepy. Eight innings to go. Not looking good for me.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 08:05 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Gary sounds better after that Laggy double.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 08:17 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Mets givng up their share of deep flies.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 08:23 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

What a disastrous play. Pollock does a bad read on the fly, and Young does a terrible read on Pollock.

Zvon Apr 14 2014 08:23 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

tsk tsk Eric. I'm talkin ya up and u stick your head up your ass.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 08:27 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Granderson looked like a righthanded batter hitting lefty as a goof there.

Zvon Apr 14 2014 08:30 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

^ha. He looked bad. What a great baseball slide from Murph. Tonight I like the new catchers rule.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 08:38 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Ritchie Blackmore's birthday today. Things you learn from a Diamondback broadcast.

Ceetar Apr 14 2014 08:51 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

More strikes Zack. Edit:thanks

metirish Apr 14 2014 08:55 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Gotta hate how DarNo and Tejada keep hitting the ball into the sky...

Zvon Apr 14 2014 08:59 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Just a slight lean. Nice pick off.

Zvon Apr 14 2014 09:05 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 09:07 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Hey, Grandy with an RBI. Never thought I'd see it.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 09:08 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Nice job Murphy scoring on the Granderson single. Half surprised he didn't try and steal third with that exaggerated shift. Wright scores too!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 09:08 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Doodoo 3-3 with another ribbie

Zvon Apr 14 2014 09:10 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

These are nice things. 5-2

Frayed Knot Apr 14 2014 09:18 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Two risky sends w/Parra in RF; both worked although each could have gone the other way.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 09:26 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

This guy throws it straight.

Zvon Apr 14 2014 09:29 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

That's the cutest 'lil hit I ever did see.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 09:33 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Crazyhack by Wright.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 14 2014 09:40 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

So... Granderson wasn't feeling so good after the wall crash?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 09:40 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Good outing for Zakky, still.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 09:42 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Hey, Grandeson has been lifted.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 09:43 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Brown's gonna hit the next pitch to Salt Lake

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 09:46 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Doodoo 4-4

Zvon Apr 14 2014 09:47 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Duda 4 fer 4!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 09:50 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

This has to be a first: Ike Davis pinch running. /pray for Juan

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 09:51 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Lucas is 4-4 and over .300. But Davis pinch-running for a gimpy Laggy. THAT can't be good. Hate to think the game is gonna cost us two starting outfielders.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 14 2014 09:57 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

That is certainly technically a defensive outfield.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 09:57 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Duda making is 2014 outfield debut.

Frayed Knot Apr 14 2014 10:05 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

'nother double switch (Recker for d'A) We're rapidly running out of players here.

Frayed Knot Apr 14 2014 10:06 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Nice get-over by Torres. That was by no means a sure out w/Campana running.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 10:08 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Duda-EY Jr.-Brown was not the defensive outfield alignment Sandy was imagining this offseason.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 14 2014 10:09 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Strikeouts? Vivid celebrations of same? The Competent Mets Reliever cares not for these things. He just, y'know, fixes messes. Preliminary reports on Granderson and Lagares, as per Gary, are not really reports, in the traditional sense of actually containing information on their current condition/the extent of the injuries.

Frayed Knot Apr 14 2014 10:11 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Apparently they're x-raying the entire left side of Granderson's body to check for, like, broken stuff.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 10:13 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

That was one awful throw. Pitcher trying to hit EY in the butt?

Frayed Knot Apr 14 2014 10:13 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Didn't Ryan Rowland-Smith serve at least one term as Chancellor of the Exchequer prior to being signed by the DBacks?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 10:13 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Hey it's Rolland Smith. Where's Jim Jensen?

Zvon Apr 14 2014 10:15 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Whoa. That woke me up. Young's speed again. :) And another run. My eyes were doing that closing by themselves thing.*yawn

Frayed Knot Apr 14 2014 10:16 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

We need to keep adding these tack-on runs tonight, as not only do we have to bullpen-proof this game we also have to OF-defense-proof it too.

Edgy MD Apr 14 2014 10:18 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Brown giving us a real Cowgillian performance thus far this season.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 14 2014 10:32 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Torres! Torres! Torres!

Zvon Apr 14 2014 10:44 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Nice play Muffy! I might make it to the end. 9th, 1 out.

Zvon Apr 14 2014 10:46 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Wow. Diving stop by Daniel. Great play. 2 out. 7-3, a D'back on 2nd.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 14 2014 10:47 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

yay mets

Zvon Apr 14 2014 10:48 PM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

Torres with an 8 out save! Niiiiice. Mets win 7-3.

Edgy MD Apr 15 2014 09:33 AM Re: IGT 04/14 - Mets at Desert Critters

They were reviewing baseball birthdays from yesterday, and one of them noted, "Pete Rose and Greg Maddux the most prominent people born on that day..." and then realized he needed a qualifier and added "... at least among the baseball figures listed there." That clearly triggered a production assistant to search for people outside of baseball more prominent than Pete Rose, because a few beats later the broadcaster added, "It's RITCHIE BLACKMORE's birthday, for all you rockers out there. Great guitarist for Deep Purple, and I hope he's having a fine birthday wherever he is." I needed to pay for an MLB.tv upgrade to get the Met booth, and I didn't, so I worked with what I had. The D-Back booth was stronger than I remember it. I used to be able to rely on them being the drunkest most obnoxious bunch of louts. Working with the sound down and Howie and Josh two-three pitches ahead of the picture just wasn't happening. But Howie would have been proud of a Ritchie Blackmore shoutout.
