Maybe.. didn't see one under Rubin..

SWEEP THE SERIES? FIRST PLACE METS!!!

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 04:34 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Still no lineup? Is this a sign of the long-awaited (by some of us) trade? Kernan thinks it may be just that, tweeting: "I'm sure they're making a trade. Goodbye Ike??"

Now the lineup is out but still no word on what corresponding move was made to get CYoung on the 25 and in the game Eric Young Jr. – CF 2. Daniel Murphy – 2B 3. David Wright – 3B 4. Curtis Granderson - RF 5. Chris Young – LF 6. Lucas Duda – 1B 7. Travis d’Arnaud – C 8. Ruben Tejada – SS 9. Jon Niese – LHP

Weird play on d'Arnaud/Duda there to end the second. No challenge from Terry... I'm thinking the umps said Duda would have been out if d'Arnaud was safe? OE: Apparently Duda slowed up after the out call was made. If an erroneous call affected the rest of the baserunning/defensive play, don't you-- as GKR assert-- have to give Duda third? There's no real precedent for this, is there?

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 05:47 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

This replay thing is why Tampa manager Joe Madden was instructing his players in ST that now you have to "play until the 4th out"

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 05:49 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Freeman's bat has got to spend more time in the hitting zone than just about any player I've seen - particularly any big guy. Given that swing I'm surprised he Ks as often as he does (even though I don't think I've ever actually witnessed him strike out).

The spirit of Chipper is strong in that one. The spirit of D-Bag Ozymandias, too. Nicely-turned bit of business from Murph on the DP-- aggressive in a good way. And Niese makes it count with the backwards-K of Upton.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 18 2014 06:02 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Ike be all sad and shi'.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 06:12 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Ummm, can we get a hit here sometime soon? It is Aaron Freakin' I-was-released-by-the-Indians-in-ST Harang

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 18 2014 06:21 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

On the plus side, No Longer Hawky is hawking up a juicy one tonight through 5 frames.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 06:28 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Disagree, Gary. There's no way I [u:2sunhx4c]DON'T[/u:2sunhx4c] call Duda out at 3rd on that play.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 18 2014 06:33 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

On the plus side, it's moving the game along really briskly. Like, pre-Larussian-era brisk.

Gwreck Apr 18 2014 07:06 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Umm, I have a bad feeling about this. We could REALLY use a hit here.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 07:13 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

If I'm the Braves here, I say the heck with the no-no and yank Harang. He's not going to go all the way anyway.

Mets Guy in Michigan Apr 18 2014 07:15 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

How come Harang didn't do this for us?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 18 2014 07:16 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

GALL DANG NIT

He's done and we'll wreck the pen.

Gulp.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 07:23 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Harang Hits/9 career = 9.4 Pitches four games for the Braves after getting picked up off the scrap heap = just over 3

Zvon Apr 18 2014 07:23 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Fuck you Fuckin Freddie Freeman, you fuck.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 07:24 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

And now busting up the no-hitter is the ONLY priority for the rest of the night.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2014 07:30 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Johnson's got to be the ugliest looking .300 hitter in the history of the game. That he's hitting about .500 against the Mets doesn't make it any easier.

Grandy, you gotta catch those. Oy. Yea, winning this is too much to expect but get a freakin hit.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 18 2014 07:42 PM Re: IGT 04/18 - Braves at Metsies

Now that they've got Harang out of there, their good pitchers can finish us off.

Wright that!

Thank you Mr. Wright. A real hit too. Not a cheapie.
