I thought Diaz would get a start with the rest of the B-Team today. Woody 2nd? I'd have put Nady up there and moved the rest of the replacements to the end of the lineup. Why not Valentin at 2B instead of Woody against a righty?

Unlike the offensive terror known as Chris Woodward. I understand getting Woody some work, but I'm just suggesting that it might make more sense to wait for there to be a lefty on the mound to do it. And it doesn't make much sense to bat him second.

Based on the fact that last saturday, Willie used a similar lineup when he was going to rest LoDuca...I'm venturing a guess that Woody is Willie's designated #2 when Castro is catching, to avoid shaking up the lineup too much...

A better option is to bat Woodward (or Valentin) 7th and to move everyone else up one spot in the lineup.

Who allows a wacky number of hits every year, a decent number of which fly out of the park. (I know, he throws more innings than other teams' entire pitching staffs, so he's of course more likely to have a higher hits allowed total.)

Floyd going yard is the most pleasing out of the three home runs. With Nady and LoDuca (presumably) coming back to earth, we need him to pick up the slack.

Agreed. But they do get to play these guys (and the Marlins) 38 games this season. If the Mets are going to be successful, they have to beat up these teams when they get the chance to do so. Reyes stumbles on a steal attempt, gets caught stealing, onto the bottom of the 2nd still 4-0.
|
| abogdan Apr 13 2006 01:36 PM |

First two get on, but Zambrano induces a double play and a fly ball to get out of the inning. Still 4-0.

These are nice words -- Zambrano induces double play. I was worried he'd let them right back into the game. Gotta step on them when they're down.

Eh, maybe not as much as usual. Willie Randolph addressed that on M&MD regarding the curtain call issue yesterday; he basically said that Beltran was upset at the fans with the boos, and that might have been the reason why he originally ignored the curtain call.

Maybe. I heard that too, didn't think Willie really made it seem like Beltran was overly upset. I may have misinterpreted it. In that case, it's also possible that he got more relaxed over the past few days, and that is what Ed Coleman is remarking on. Either way, I'd cut Ed a little more slack.
|
| Gwreck Apr 13 2006 01:58 PM |

Ok, so Beltran was pissed at the time. It was still an exaggeration. For what it's worth, going on the road and raking the last couple of games probably *is* somewhat relaxing.

Allow me to respond in kind: I'm sure you'll take any innocuous statement of Ed's (which is completely true) and write an unnecessarily hostile, three-paragraph diatribe while your blood pressure rises to dangerous levels. And you just got done complaining about people ripping into the Mushnick article in the exact same manner. It's amazing what a hypocrite you are. Shocking, really.

Except it's false. To characterize Beltran as being notably relaxed "this season" is either to be clueless, inattentive, a lying nosepicker, or blind. if he would have said "this week," I would have agreed. What you also don't get, Elster, is that my cardiologist recommends venting on the Mets to ease my blood pressure. My posts are all done under careful medical supervision.

Gotta like how Frank "Old Skool" Robinson seems determined to just leave Livan in there to absorb the beating he's taking. He'll come out after 30 runs of 120 pitches, whichever comes first.

The funny thing about hanging Livan out to dry is that homers allow you to give up seven runs on far fewer pitches than walks and doubles, so his pitch count isn't far off what Zambrano's is.

Yes, any fact contrary to reality as expressed by Ed Coleman on the air as true should be attributed to the malfunction of his mouth, despite his best intentions. This explains a lot. Except the part about what such an incompetent eunuch is doing speaking for a living. Is your defense really going to be "Your honor, my client doesn't know what he's saying. All sorts of crap spews from his mouth all the time. He can't help it."? The part I found particularly persuasive is the part where Coleman's verbal farts are about 50/50 between statements that serve the Mets' PR relations ("Carlos is so cool, so fan friendly, so completely sweet and good-natured") and those that give the Mets bad PR ("Carlos is a petulant, over-reacting, moody brat who can't take criticism.")

You refuse to give this up don't you? Saying "Beltran looks relaxed this season" instead of saying "Beltran looks relaxed this week" when the season is 10 days old is not that big a change. To argue otherwise makes you look incredibly stupid. I'm just the messenger here. NOTE: I'm assuming a high SC in the quoted statement of yours.

I think Heilman's the top set-up guy, followed by Sanchez. Willie seems to be using Bradford as a ROOGIE/guy to use when a DP is needed. After that, I guess it's Oliver, then Julio?

There is the Heilman factor to consider and his effectiveness in getting LHers out. I thought part of Oliver's role in the pen was to be the long man too...4 inning save here to keep rest of bullpen rested wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...

That's the other side. I'm not sure what Willie sees him as --- situational lefty or innings-eating long man. Let's do it this way: If he burns Oliver, let's attack Willie for wasting his situational lefty. If he pulls him after two innings, we can attack him wasting a higher-ranked pitcher and not letting his long man stretch it out. It's win-win.

Hernandez in at second, Woody to first, Delgado out. Victor in at left, Floyd out.

I was never real keen on Oliver making the team over Feliciano, but after Oliver's hit, I looked up his hitting stats...eventhough I think of him as more of an AL pitcher than NL pitcher, he's got a .228 career batting average with 2 seasons of having 17+ hits ('99 had 20 hits with 4 extra basehits; '03 had 17 hits with 3 doubles and a HR)...he can do long relief, can spot start, can swing a bat...he's kind of a LOOGY version of Pat Mahomes...

Julio continues to struggle. Nick Johnson takes him deep.

Read back a few pages in this thread. I told you Johnson was a pain.

No love for Franco? Move Woody to 3B or SS and give Franco an inning at 1B.

Well, Julio gives up 2 extra base hits, but also doesn't walk anyone, strikes out 2, and only gives up 1 run.

EDIT: Beat me to it.

Let Julio pitch the 9th. He'll make it through.

Good IGT today, fellas.

And the Hillbilly cried "Mercy for the fat man!" Tell me that doesn't sound like a Creedence lyric.

The Dodgers, White Sox and Mets have all scored 13 runs today, all as visitors.

Duaner Sanchez in to end this thing.

Apparently, it's not a good thing to be a home team on Thursday the 13th...
|
| Elster88 Apr 13 2006 03:50 PM |

At this point I think Willie is just doing this to be a prick.

The names on the ESPN gamecast really should move under the animation of the flying ball.

GameCast is cool though, right?

E-6. Dammit, Jose, it's hot out here.

Glad you enjoyed it, Elster. I'll try to repeat my part for your future IGT pleasure. Duaner Sanchez closes it out. How Sweep It is.

Bringing in Sanchez was a good decision by Willie.

Anybody else think that Marlon Byrd elbow to Woody's back on the Reyes error was kind of an unnecessary dick move?

Believe it or not, I enjoy the back and forth with you Bret. Except for the parts where I go insane. You never got back to me on my last post directed to you.

Only the Yanquis could be in a 6-2 game (4-2 until a minute ago) which is taking considerably longer than a 13-5 slug/walk-fest.

Yes, Elster, it most definitely is cool. Thanks for pointing it out.
|

True. Though a 13-5 game in under 3 hours (2:44) has to be pretty rare.
|
| Elster88 Apr 13 2006 03:57 PM |
|
The last two games of the first Nats' series are the only two to go over three hours. (3:37, 3:33)

Sanchez closes it out despite a Reyes error.

I can't get over that we are one Wagner BS away from 8-0. I like baseball.

Nice job on the IGT gang. Fun read for those of us that had to work and didn't get to check in on the game.

Damn, I love that old guy, JD. Hope to see a lot more of him this year.

Julio really doesnt belong on a major league roster.
|
| Willets Point Apr 13 2006 04:12 PM |

You're right. He belongs down by the schoolyard.
|
| Nymr83 Apr 13 2006 04:18 PM |

someone start the schaffer... 9 points to the offense today (oliver gets 1 for his rbi hit and 2 innings w/o a run)
|
| Bret Sabermetric Apr 13 2006 04:28 PM |

Thanks for your concern. I'm getting by. Boston 6 -2 .750

You've got to admit though that the Boy Genius really screwed up signing Wells to 2 years.
|
| Nymr83 Apr 13 2006 04:59 PM |

yeah, but the mets didn't do it so it doesnt need to be criticized.
|
| Centerfield Apr 13 2006 06:18 PM |

Great to see Cliffy get it going. He hit some balls hard last night too. I hear that, on top of his HR and double, he hit a scorcher that was caught today.

Just watched the replay on TV. The hitting, of course, looked great. But I was surprised how much Zambrano struggled. His ball/strike ratio was awful...and it looked like he got the benefit getting balls hit right at people a few times.
|
| Johnny Dickshot Apr 13 2006 11:20 PM |
|
I can think of a few million reasons.
|
| metirish Apr 13 2006 11:20 PM |

CF were you really surprised with Zambrano?,I watched the replay like you and I thought it was a typical Zam outing.
|
| metirish Apr 14 2006 12:03 AM |

I read today that the Mets have only been behind in two innings all season, a small sample but that's amazin.....

I couldn't follow the game during the day yesterday, so when I looked at the boxscore, and the IGT, I thought Victor was pretty strong before struggling in the 5th. Plus, with his strong spring, I guess I was hoping for better. But you're right, yesterday was typical Zambrano. Unfortunately.

I'm sorry, did you lose my official Elster88 registration or something? May I re-apply for your permission to root for the Red Sox? Does this mean that, until youve made your decision, that I have to turn in my Red Sox cap? Can I still go to games at Fenway? Pretty please?
