John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 23 2014 11:25 AM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Win or lose, I'd like to see some offense show up tonight.

themetfairy Apr 23 2014 11:47 AM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Preferably ours.

G-Fafif Apr 23 2014 02:14 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

No EY. CY moves to LF. Nieuwy in CF. Lagares on DL. Andres Torres considered at large. Nieuwenhuis – 8 Granderson – 9 Wright – 5 Murphy – 4 CYoung – 7 Duda – 3 d’Arnaud – 2 Tejada – 6 Niese – 1

TransMonk Apr 23 2014 04:12 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Granderson second again?

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2014 04:48 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

At this point the best choice might just be Murphy & Duda 1 - 2

Mr T with his head up his ass again, and it costs us a run. 1-0 Redbyrds, middle of the 1st.

Zvon Apr 23 2014 05:25 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Hey, Grandy got a hit!

Zvon Apr 23 2014 05:46 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Wow, the wind there at Citi tonight is unbelievable. Wacha just blew into a 6-1 hat off.

Zvon Apr 23 2014 06:00 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

In the third, 1 out, so far all of the Mets outs in the game have been from strikeouts(7).

Zvon Apr 23 2014 06:03 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Jeeze loueeze. Wacha ties a MLB record. 9 outs, 9 Ks.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2014 06:05 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

And there's 9, through 3. Sixth time in MLB history and third time in the past three years, as per GKR. Uncle Charlie's going marauding tonight.

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2014 06:12 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Anybody see this getting to 27?

Zvon Apr 23 2014 06:12 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

I don't think Ive ever seen a ball so wind blown. Pop to left comes down at shallow short and T cannot get under it. It drops but we got the force @ 2nd.

Zvon Apr 23 2014 06:13 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

And its great Danny gets a hit but that don't break this shitty K streak.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2014 06:15 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Jesus Christ, I don't know what's more frightening-- the curve or the pinpoint fastball control. (Probably the curve.)

Don't agree with Tueff and Mex. I woulda sent him.

Or, y'know, maybe that wasn't such a bad call.

Wow. Now thats wacky. Baseball is sooo wacky. Wacha walks in the tying run. 1-1 Mets

All of a sudden, the fastball control has left him. Or is it the wind?

Enjoying them grinding it out against Wacha here.

Curtis opens by laying off that same curve he's been chasing all year.

Carpenter is becoming a gnat on our windshield. That's all for Niese. 3-1 Mets, top of the 7th.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 23 2014 07:15 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Outstanding outing for Niese. Gotta say his performance so far one of the biggest surprises of the year for me.

I expected very little, great game under harsh conditions.

Craig has been up for fifteen minutes ... then singles

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 23 2014 07:43 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Tonight is a night fit for grinding, on both sides; Craig just wore Torres out to work that single.

C'mon, you Mets. Peralta ain't hit a lick all year.

Well, I guess not signing Peralta was a good idea.

Sweet slider to get whomever that guy was. One down.

Jay singles and the tying run comes to the plate in the form of a gnat.

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2014 08:36 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

The camera angle on the Tejada relay was terrific. At first it looked like the throw was headed slightly to the 1st base side, but then it seemed to 'slice' (maybe on account of the wind, maybe just the way Ruben threw it) towards the 3B side which played right into the direction of d'Arnaud's sweep tag and took the momentum of his glove right into the runner.

Edgy MD Apr 23 2014 08:38 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

Ruben had just about as solid an 0-3 game as a guy could have.

Nymr83 Apr 23 2014 09:33 PM Re: IGT 04/23 Birdies at Metsies

I was there tonight, I was thinking of posting during the game, but I couldn't feel my fingers. I've been to colder games, but I think this was the windiest game ever. The crowd got into it at moments. but was generally too cold and miserable to clap or cheer... the cries of "fuck you, you're inside" to the celebrity they had on the scoreboard trying to get fans to cheer was funny as was the lowest level of applause for the "clapping meter" ever. We actually didn't sit down all game, preferring to wander around and watch standing, it seemed warmer. Wacha looked like he was going to make it a very miserable night for the freezing Mets Faithful, but that came apart fast and then he was gone. Duda hit a second ball that looked like a homer too but the wind killed it (wind killed a couple for St Louis too). I wouldnt have let Farnsworth face the last batter after 3 guys had SMOKED the ball on him already. Instant Replay may help lead to accurate results but its really a bit of a mood killer. In 'The Good Old Days' (last year) the Cardinal manager would have come out there and yelled, the fans would be booing him... and then a huge cheer when he got himself thrown out, guaranteed to liven up the crowd whether home or away... and now nothing. we all stand there waiting.
