v. Ortiz Beltran: .556 OPS, 1 HR, 1 K, 23 AB =red]Delgado: 1.560 OPS, 5 HR, 3 K, 30 AB Cliff: .500 OPS, 0 HR, 1 K, 12 AB LoDuca: .516 OPS, 0 HR, 1 K, 13 AB Reyes: .400 OPS, 0 SB, 0 K, 10 AB =red]Valentin: 1.367 OPS, 1 HR, 2 K, 12 AB =orange]Woody: .800 OPS, 0 HR, 2 K, 10 AB The rest have had under 10 AB against Ortiz. I'd have been tempted to put Valentin in there instead of Hernandez today given how much our regulars have struggled against him, but we'll see how it goes, I guess . . .

Edgy DC Apr 11 2006 12:34 PM

Wasn't Ortiz a Benson Buncher?

sharpie Apr 11 2006 12:38 PM

I think that was Russ Ortiz, this is Ramon.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2006 12:42 PM

You're right! New rule. You can't joine the MLBPA unless you have a last name unique from all other active union members.

sharpie Apr 11 2006 12:48 PM

Or at least can't have the same last name and first initial. The other Pedro Martinez is the guy we really have to drum out.

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2006 01:01 PM

VP Cheney to throw out the first pitch. The scouting report lists him as having questionable control. In particular, there was one notorious HBP* during the winter league. * - Hit by Pellets

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 01:13 PM

Beltran lines to first, double play.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 01:24 PM

I read somewhere that Bannister doesn't believe in giving up hits in the first inning.

Diamond Dad Apr 11 2006 01:26 PM Mets go quietly in the 2nd

What -- no first inning run today? What gives???

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 01:30 PM

Is anyone actually watching? How's Bannister look? Is he pitching inside at all?

TheOldMole Apr 11 2006 01:32 PM

Stolen base off LoDuca.

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 01:32 PM

Piazza would've had him

Diamond Dad Apr 11 2006 01:34 PM

Nick Johnson, that noted speedster

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 01:34 PM

LoDuca couldn't throw out Nick Johnson? That's a little embarassing.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 01:36 PM

Clayton grounds out to Reyes, and Bannister's out of the inning. Top of the third.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 01:38 PM

Ortiz with 25 pitches thrown through 2. We've got to be more patient with him. Nat's pen is a bit overworked after the extra innings last night--if we can get to the pen early, we'll be setting ourselves up nicely for the rest of the series.

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 01:42 PM

Just adding to my theory that our pitchers should bat ahead of Hernandez, Bannister collects a base hit.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 01:42 PM

Bannister's dad talked about what a good hitter Brian was in college in the last game. Of course, Bannister struck out both times that game, but maybe he was nervous.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2006 01:44 PM

I got MLB.tv working again. Maybe it only works at work.

Bannister with another 1-2-3 inning.

OlerudOwned wrote: Edit: Rotty seems to have found fancier numbers They're probably wrong. I tried to figure them out from the Yahoo! stat page, but they don't show sacs. I know Glavine had at least one . . . Beltran singles to center. Come on Carlos--Carlos wants to come home.

Edgy DC Apr 11 2006 01:56 PM

Cool, Beltran takes a pitch tailing to the outside and almost rips the pitcher's head off. Not so cool, it's his first pitch batting lefthanded this season. National color guy suggested that the Bannisters of the world (legacy rookies) come up with more poise because they've been around Major League clubhouses since they were children. Now two on for Wright.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 01:57 PM

Carlos singles. Carloses at 1st & 2nd for Wright, who has ground into a number of DP's already this season . . .

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 01:57 PM

Wright RBI streak continues, he doubles home Beltran. MVP

Edgy DC Apr 11 2006 01:57 PM

Double -- Mets on the board! Delgado stops at third.

Of course, Ortiz would've hit a home run. OTOH, A-Rod would've ground into a double play . . .

Cliff gets it done with a sac fly to center. Sweet.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:04 PM

Wright advances to third on the play. Let's go, Nady!

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:06 PM

Nady ignores me and flies out to right instead. Nady's 0 for his last 5 AB now. How long before the boo's start?

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:12 PM

Vidro flies out to deep right Moron pops out to right Flash Johnson flies out to left center. Pretty impressive for the poised Bannister, especially given that these guys have already seen him once.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 11 2006 02:14 PM

Nady has a rep for being streaky, doesn't he?

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:15 PM

Yancy Street Gang wrote: Nady has a rep for being streaky, doesn't he? Yup. Hey-ho! Hernandez is on a hot streak! Infield single!

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:19 PM

Back to Xavier, he was hot pretty much through the All-Star break last year (.839 OPS), then posted a .664 OPS after the All-Star Break. In 2004, when given the chance to hit, he did. In 2003, he did well in April, May & September, and sucked in June & July. I'm not sure that all combines to qualify him for streaky, but that seems to be his reputation.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:20 PM

Bannister sacrifices, Reyes with a ribbie single, and LoDuca doubles him home! Beltran at the plate with one out. 4-0 Mets!

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:21 PM

Beltran walks. Delgado up with two ducks on the pond.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:25 PM

Delgado grounds out, advancing Beltran and LoDuca. Wright up. Will they pitch to him, with 1st base open?

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:26 PM

Yes, they will. Ortiz went 0-2 on Wright. Now 1-2. And now Wright flies out to right center. Whadda bum.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:38 PM

Damn, Bannister. - A. Soriano popped out to second - R. Zimmerman singled to center - R. Clayton fouled out to first - B. Schneider popped out to third - End of Inning (0 Runs, 1 Hit, 0 Errors) Lookin' reaaal good from up here. Ortiz up to 82 pitches.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:45 PM

Mets go quietly in the sixth. Ortiz only had to throw 10 pitches, meaning we'll likely see him in the seventh. Except Marlon is pinch hitting for him now.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2006 02:46 PM

Brian Bannister, your 2006 National League Rookie of the Year.

duan Apr 11 2006 02:47 PM

and now with marlon ph'ing for ramon he's outta there. I'd LOVE to work there bullpen REAL hard tonight. Lets make 'em work in the 7th, 8th & 9th. Try and burn a few pitches for tomorrow (especially after 'em going to 12 last night!)

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 02:48 PM

1-2-3 again

duan Apr 11 2006 02:48 PM

was that vidro fly as close as it looked [on gameday] to getting outta there?

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 02:51 PM

I don't know if I'd go that far yet, but he sure is looking pretty good. 6 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 K, 88 pitches He's still throwing too many balls (41%), and he's not striking anyone out, but he's they're clearly taking some bad swings off him (a lot of foul outs and pop ups) AND this is the second time they've seen him.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 11 2006 02:53 PM

After six innings, Bannister has thrown 88 pitches. Given up two hits, no walks, one strikeout.

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 02:54 PM

Double for Bannister off of Zimmerman's glove. Best hitting pitchers in the major leauges, your New York Mets?

Yancy Street Gang Apr 11 2006 02:55 PM

I'm hoping to be able to give Bannister a whole six-pack of Schaefer today.

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 02:56 PM

RBI triple for Reyes. Second of the year

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 02:57 PM

From our friends at www.passedoutwookies.com I give you Jon Rauch:

Diamond Dad Apr 11 2006 02:58 PM

Triple city! Wheels are something you can't teach. Oh, yea -- the Mets tried to teach him how to run better. Messed him up for a year. Like I said . . . can't teach

Diamond Dad Apr 11 2006 03:00 PM kidding me???

gotta be kidding me?? Walking Delgado to get to Mr. Wright??? Be offended, David

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:00 PM

Wright our only hope for scoring again this inning.

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 03:01 PM

David Wright flies out to be modest

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:02 PM

Shoot. I was really hoping the Wookie Armor picture would turn out to be a good luck charm against Rauch.

I don't trust Julio with a 5-0 lead. Heilman hasn't pitched in a while.

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 03:09 PM

I really don't trust Julio with a 5-1 lead.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:10 PM

Soriano homers to left. That one's my fault.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:11 PM

Soriano puts a blemish on Bannister's Banner Day by homering to deep left. One more out, Brian. 5-1 Mets.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:11 PM

1 run in 7 innings from Bannister. I'll take it. In fact, let's temporarily promote him to the #4 pitcher in the rotation.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:12 PM

And Zimmerman flies out to deep left to end the inning. Very nice, Brian.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 11 2006 03:13 PM

He's the first Met starter this season the reach the 7th inning. I don't want to see any part of Julio either. He hasn't been throwing in the pen, has he? Maybe just to give the Nationals false hope.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:14 PM

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 03:17 PM

cooby Apr 11 2006 03:18 PM

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:18 PM

Let's double switch and get Woody into the game.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:19 PM

Heilman gets the call as requested.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:20 PM

Well, either Willie (still) hasn't figured out the double switch yet or he wants someone else to work the ninth.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2006 03:21 PM

You know who doesn't look like Kenny Rogers? Kenny Rogers. When he was on Idol a few weeks back, he looked way different. I know he's older now, but his hair is short and his beard is trimmed to just a van dyke. Weird.

Nymr83 Apr 11 2006 03:21 PM

another great game. i just wanted to point out (and didnt want to start a thread) that the yankees are currently losing and that in Chicago pitcher Branson Arroyo has his 2nd homer in as many starts for the Reds.

Heilman goes through them 1-2-3, ending the inning with a called strike 3 on Ward.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 11 2006 03:27 PM

I guess we'll find out what Willie was thinking when we see if Aaron gets to bat for himself.

duan Apr 11 2006 03:27 PM

surely it's Darren Oliver time.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:27 PM

14 pitches, 11 strikes. Poor bastard still won't sniff a start with Bannister pitching the way he is.

I suppose since we have: L S R L coming up in the order, we need someone who can get both righties AND lefties out, which means one of Heilman, Sanchez or Wagner. Why not Sanchez, though? Or double switching Heilman?

If he continues to hit .350, I won't have a problem with him batting second.

Or that. But with a four-run lead, I wouldn't stress too much about the handedness of the hitters, especially since it's a mix.

Give Sanchez's arm another day off. Definitely don't pitch Wagner, that's just stoopit. Let's give Oliver the ninth.

Diamond Dad Apr 11 2006 03:46 PM

Guess Wags needs to get some work in, eh?

Yancy Street Gang Apr 11 2006 03:47 PM

Strange choice. I just hope we don't need him on Wednesday and Thursday. Maybe Wagner wanted the inning. It can be a tough call deciding when your closer needs an inning to keep his arm fresh. You never know what's coming up.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2006 03:49 PM

He probably wanted work, and once he starts throwing, you get him in the game, even if you're up by six. No reason warming him up for nothing.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:50 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 11 2006 03:50 PM

He should've been fresh enough, just having pitched on Sunday. Tomorrow would be the day to make sure he gets work in. Especially since there's no off day for two weeks. And shouldn't have even been warming, since we were up by 4 when he started warming.

duan Apr 11 2006 03:50 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 11 2006 03:51 PM

seriously; you'd have to question that. We're going to put enough of a load on Billy's arm, do we really need him going 30 odd pitches for a 6 run lead when we don't have another off day till the 27th April? I mean if Oliver can't pitch here, what's the point.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:51 PM

Fucking Willie. Maybe it was Peterson's doing.

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:52 PM

Yeah, I don't like this move. I'm not going to get on Willie's case for it just yet, but if it becomes a regular thing, I'll be really pissed.

Elster88 Apr 11 2006 03:54 PM

Up to 2 walks and 23 pitches for the Sandman.

OlerudOwned Apr 11 2006 03:54 PM

Wild pitch follws a walk. Couldn't Wagner just throw a side session or something?

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 03:54 PM

Billy, for the love of Christ, throw strikes when you're up by 6 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

seawolf17 Apr 11 2006 03:55 PM

Maybe he wanted to practice pitching around guys, in case he needs to do it later in the season.

Yup. I realized that after I posted. Can't believe I forgot. 0-5 to 5-5.

If you two have something to say, perhaps you'd like to share it with the entire class?

I think we can stop whispering now.

Yeah, we already can't clean our contacts, now we can't read what you're writing either

Rotblatt Apr 11 2006 04:24 PM

We were just, uh, saying that, uh, we look like a better team than last year's. Yeah.

The 5-1 start is the first for the Mets since 1985.

Nice job there cooby snack.

I knew you'd like that!

I think the reason for Wagner's appearance is that it's still spring for him, and getting him a safe inning or two is about getting his work in. I also think that if Aaron Heilman pitches like an All-Star, but the Mets rotation is hot and healthy enough to keep him in the pen, that's just great. And I'll be over the moon.

Heilman is just great, could be an All-Star this year.

cooby Apr 11 2006 10:34 PM

Heilman All Star, Wright MVP, metirish, do you have a little crystal ball?

metirish Apr 11 2006 10:47 PM

No Cobby :) but I have this amazin feeling about this team this year, any team would love to have Heilman in the pen, he's the shit really. http://www.baseballreference.com/b/backmwa01.shtml
