I will test out 710's signal tonight. Leaving around 6:30 to head down towards Virginia and stopping for the night just outside Baltimore.

Where outside of Baltimore? Maybe I can buy you a mass-produced prefabricated adult beverage.

Linthicum Heights. I'd welcome it, but Google tells me that's the other side of Baltimore from the fabled Villa de Laura. And it looks like my ETA is like 10pm best case (really anytime "before the game ends" is best case) and ETD is 9:30am the next morning. 6.5 hours each way so I'm doing my best to split it up as much as possible over the three days.

Have a nice trip. What a delightful sounding burg "Linthicum Heights" is. Sounds like sanctuary for the dangerously insane and heavily drugged.

I actually stayed in that area once before, the last time the Mets were down there. Got to the hotel the same time as an ambulance. No idea what was going on. Felt like your typical just out side the airport hotel strip. Right off the highway, so suits me.

At least Jank is working more efficiently-- he's getting his third-time-through problems in the second instead of the fifth.

Agreed. Mejia wanted a shot at starting. This has been your shot kid (I'd even give him one more after this, regardless). Need 6 solid from you at least. None of that falling apart shit. Switch it up. Keep em guessing. Bare down. Stay sharp. Whew. That was a loooooong top of the 2nd. My internet has been wacky bad this evening- in case I go *poof*

Bouncing a two-strike slider with the bases loaded on a wetwet night? Quite the ball-check, no?

Granderson swung at three balls-four there. Just because the sinker's up doesn't mean it's good to hit.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2014 06:14 PM Re: IGT 05/09 - Phillies at Mets |
Smart running from Utley on the tag will likely steal the Phils a tying run here.

In all fairness, the single from Brown probably mooted the play. But still... good running.

Maybe it's a good thing that the Mets have all but abandoned Saturday afternoon games - because this one might not be done until sometime tomorrow morning.

The powers that be will not allow me to hear the guyz. I guess I'll settle for 5 out of Mejia. He's throwin alot of pitches.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2014 07:00 PM Re: IGT 05/09 - Phillies at Mets |
I don't find myself seconding Ojeda that often, but I think his premise regarding Mejia's diminishing-returns thing-- that Mejia's mechanics get sloppy (perhaps due to his being "max-effort," as GKR are emphasizing here) as the game wears on-- looks dead-on. Mejia starts off with good, 12-to-6 posture on the follow-through... and, like he's doing this inning, he ends up falling off toward the left at all sorts of different angles. Subpar pitch execution must follow, right?

Edgy MD May 09 2014 07:01 PM Re: IGT 05/09 - Phillies at Mets |
He's approaching 100 pitches and he isn't flying open like last time, but he's not bending as much.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 09 2014 07:02 PM Re: IGT 05/09 - Phillies at Mets |
Right. He's way stiff now, and still listing a little. It's almost like an overcorrection.
