mlbaseballtalk Apr 19 2006 12:03 PM

Lineups not up yet...

Frayed Knot Apr 19 2006 12:23 PM

Met lineup: Reyes - SS Woodward - 2B Delgado - 1B Wright - 3B Nady - RF Castro - C Valentin - LF Chavez - CF Glavine - P Meanwhile, we can't complain too much as the Braves go with a ST/split squad looking IF 1B - Brian Jordan (LaRoche sitting w'the lefty Glavine going) 2B - I forget already (just heard it earlier) but Giles may have broken a finger sliding into 2nd last night SS - Tony Pena Jr 3B - Betemit, moves to 3rd while Orr sits cuz of the lefty

metirish Apr 19 2006 12:27 PM

Lets Go Mets, is that Tony Pena's son playing SS?

cooby Apr 19 2006 12:28 PM

Not the same one that was too old for the LL World Series a few years back, surely?

Frayed Knot Apr 19 2006 12:28 PM

Hence the 'Jr.' part

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 12:37 PM

Among Tony Pena, Yogi Berra, and Bob Boone, "Catchers who sired middle infielders is almost a big enough group to qualify for a Jeopardy category.

Johnny Dickshot Apr 19 2006 12:46 PM

I have officially declared this the first Big Game™ of the 2006 season, meaning: * Blown saves accrue at a rate of 1: 80 million * Mike and the Mad Dog will interpret this game as indicative of Tom Glavine's entire Met career. * The results of Jose Valentin's expected 4 PAs will determine his future employability (which may actually be true) * Dramatic fan suicide watch code ticks Blue to Orange

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 12:49 PM Big Game

It is a big game. Despite our injuries, if we lose a series at home to THIS group of Braves, when we had Pedro and Glavine pitching two of the three, that would be a BAD thing.

Hillbilly Apr 19 2006 12:51 PM

I got to go to a seminar and miss the first hour or so of this one. Then I'll likely go to my lab (I don't know why I have full cable in my research lab, but I do) and watch this one on TBS. I hope to check with you guys from time to time. Enjoy the game!

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 12:54 PM

We need to work on thread titles.

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 12:54 PM

I thought Cliff was playing today.

Heh, just before the WFAN audio switched on for MLB's Internet radio broadcast just heard a phone call between engineers setting up the broadcast. I believe the "Imortal Chris Mankowski" was describing the radio booth as a complete mess!

WFAN's live streaming radio is also blacked out during the game -- I'm getting a re-run of this morning's Imus show! Glavine cruises through the first on 6 pitches!

If Hudson as sharp as his line in the box score looks? He just struck out Wright.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 01:29 PM

I think the sun must be in the hitters' eyes

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 01:30 PM

Cliff and Beltran have both hit Hudson well in their careers. Figures.

Lundy Apr 19 2006 01:31 PM

Day game after a night game + no more greenies = pitcher's duel

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 01:33 PM

Hudson looks to have lots of bite on his breaking stuff. He's produced a lot of swings by guys who look like they were completely fooled. Glavine looks very sharp, too. The Mets as a group looking handsome in snow whites and blue caps.

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 01:33 PM

9 combined backups between 2 teams = pitcher's duel.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 01:35 PM Memo to VZ

Memo to Victor Zambrano -- Are you watching this game?? Do you see how two good pitchers get hitters out while throwing a miniumum number of pitches? See how getting the batters to hit your pitch results in your defense making outs??? School's in session -- PAY ATTENTION!!

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 01:36 PM

Batters hitting Zambrano's pitches results in home runs.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 01:39 PM

I wonder if we'll ever score again.

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 01:40 PM

According to GameCast, Castro looked at two pitches down the middle and struck out on one in the dirt.

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 01:40 PM

Chavez has a .400 batting average against Hudson.

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 01:41 PM

One at-bat later, it's .333

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 01:42 PM

9 up, 9 down. Hey, where's that Atlanta starting rotation that supposed to blow ass?

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 01:42 PM

Hudson: perfect through 3.

Hillbilly Apr 19 2006 01:43 PM

We got an old fashion pitcher's duel.

cooby Apr 19 2006 01:45 PM

Elster, did you say PERFECT GAME?

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 01:50 PM

You heard right Cooby. Hudson's got a NO HITTER going.

cooby Apr 19 2006 01:52 PM

Wow, I have never seen a NO HITTER In Game Thread before! A NO HITTER, how about that?

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 01:52 PM

Beauty change-up by Glavine to K Andruw and end the inning. The little smile Andruw Jones always wears has kinda endeared me to him. How can you not like a dude who always looks like he's happy?

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 01:54 PM

Wow! Perfect, no-hit shut-out going! Amazing! Boy, I really hope we get to see history made today!

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 01:55 PM

Great over-the-shoulder sliding catch by Peña to keep the Mets hitless. Without a hit, I said. No hits.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 01:56 PM wow

Eerie line scores -- both starters 42 pitches through 4 innings. Hudson zero hits, Glavine 1. Talk about being SHARP!! Don't blink or you miss a whole inning.

ABG Apr 19 2006 01:57 PM

Four full innings in 50 minutes. Damn. I guess that's what happens when the Mets don't get a single solitary hit. No hits. At all.

cooby Apr 19 2006 01:57 PM

Well, if I have to be sitting in an office on a perfect spring day watching a game by IGT, it might as well be a PERFECT NO HIT SHUTOUT pitched by Hudson!

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 01:57 PM

Freakin' Reyes.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 01:57 PM

The Sky-Is-Not-Falling Aflac trivia question on TBS: In the past five seasons, how many times have the Braves been in first place at the end of April?

metirish Apr 19 2006 02:00 PM

Jeez that's as lame as SNY trivia, who's doing the TBS game,I hate them all but Skip Carey really gets me going, my nightmare would be him and Rick Sutcliffe doing a game together.... still a no hitter?

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 02:02 PM

Reyes not charged with an error somehow. Castro erases him anyway trying to steal. Mets coming up... Irish, what was the SNY trivia Q?

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 02:03 PM

Bottom Five. You know, I don't think the no hitter jinx works when you're rooting for the other team. Now it's guaranteed to be a no-hitter. Good job guys. I mean, no doubt about it he's going to get it.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 02:04 PM

Wright grounds out first pitch. Wright's not right this series.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 02:05 PM

Shit. David Wright pulled up running down the line. Didn't look like he hurt himself, but it certainly looked strange that on a close play, he'd slow up before he hit the bag.

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 02:07 PM

This is really exciting, huh?

Hillbilly Apr 19 2006 02:08 PM

The tension builds. BTW, No Skip so far on TBS.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:09 PM unreal

I've never seen a game like this outside of the last game of the season between two teams who don't care. 10 ip -- 2 hits -- 102 pitches between the two starters. We need a solo home run from somebody

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 02:10 PM

Is Piazza available?

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:12 PM SNY

SNY won't have to do much editing to put together the "fast forward" version of this game!

Yancy Street Gang Apr 19 2006 02:13 PM

SNY Trivia: Who has managed the most games against the Mets?

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 02:14 PM

Ok. Here we go. Bottom of the lineup coming up. Hudson looked like he was laboring a bit last inning. I think in this frame we knock him out of the game.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:14 PM In Contrast . . .

Here's Ted Lilly's pitching line so far in Toronto -- his team's losing 2-0: 5.0 ip; 99 pitches; 7 hits; 2 runs; 5 walks; 5 Ks

Hillbilly Apr 19 2006 02:14 PM

Glavine looks great in the 6th. What the hell's up with you guys calling this a boring game. These pitches are throwing darts. Are you guys doing some internet gameday or something?

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 02:14 PM

Yay! Base hit!

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 02:15 PM

¡Viva Castro!

So is it an hit or an error? Oh never mind, that says Chavez

Yancy Street Gang Apr 19 2006 02:20 PM

Gary Cohen just said that Glavine has more sac hits than any pitcher in history. I didn't know that. I'll have to look up who has the all-time record. I would have guessed it was a pitcher, but I suppose not.

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 02:20 PM

Mat Die-az, super villian.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:21 PM

Jordan is playing 1B, not RF. Castro out at the plate! ouch. Well, we knew he wasn't fast

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 02:22 PM

Jordan bounced the throw into second that would've forced Castro out. E-3. The flyball by Reyes was hit into medium left field. Diaz played it perfectly and caught it with his momentum moving towards home and gunned a strike on-the-fly to Pratt who caught it ahead of Castro and put the tag down. It was fairly close, but he was clearly out.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:22 PM

Did Reyes take a pitch, or hack at the first offering?

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 02:22 PM

The TBS guys say Die-az, too.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 19 2006 02:23 PM

Delgado's proving to be a better firstbaseman than I had been led to expect. Nice grab of a pop up in the stands.

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 02:24 PM

Danger.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:24 PM

Delgado used to DH in Toronto when they had Olerud, and he bitched about it because he said he was a good first baseman and wanted to play the field. I guess he was right.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 19 2006 02:24 PM

Andruw with a solo homer. 1-0.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 02:24 PM

This is no good.

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 02:25 PM

]Did Reyes take a pitch, or hack at the first offering? First pitch. It was a little up and out over the plate. It was a decent shot. Feck, Jones goes deep to right field.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 19 2006 02:29 PM

The Mets need to make some kind of a roster move. Their lineup is too weak and their bench too depleted. They can't go to California without adding or activating at least one bat.

Wait 10 days unless a player goes on the DL....

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:56 PM

If they put somebody on the DL (Cliff) they can recall him before the 10-day period

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 02:56 PM

10 days unless someone goes on the DL.

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 02:56 PM

Who do we want in the ninth? Franco? Who's even on the bench and healthy?

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 02:58 PM

I think we should put Beltran on the DL. He'd only have to sit out for 11 days, and if it means not having to see Chavez, Valentin & Woody in the same lineup for even one game, it's worth it.

metirish Apr 19 2006 02:58 PM

No to Franco I would think, to big a game, he hit the backstop while warming up when he pitched last night, wound a little tight I think.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 02:58 PM

Good job Aaron. Delgado 3 Run HR coming up.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 02:59 PM

Pinch hitter, Reyes, Woody, then Carlos D Enough worrying about how fast the game has gone-- time to end it favorably no matter how long the bottom of the 9th lasts!

mlbaseballtalk Apr 19 2006 03:02 PM

Don't make me angry You, yooou wouldn't like it when I'm angry... I...I... warned you METS SMASH!

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 03:03 PM

I understand this Franco character isn't very young.

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 03:04 PM

This game sucks.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 03:04 PM

Atta boy Jose. Come on Woody!

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 03:04 PM

still breathing! Reyes on 2nd

Frayed Knot Apr 19 2006 03:05 PM

Yes, 15 days is the minimum so he's lost for another 11 days even with the retroactive thing. NOW Reyes gets a hit!!!!!

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 03:05 PM

Hold....

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 03:05 PM

Two pops at it here. LET'S GO METS! LET'S GO METS! LET'S GO METS!

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 03:06 PM

We'll probably end up plating Reyes and losing by one run, which will likely cause Wright to fall into a catatonic state where he rocks back and forth and chants "my fault" over and over again.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 03:06 PM

Delgado up. Tying run on first. LET'S GO METS LET'S GO METS LET'S GO METS

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 03:06 PM

the.....

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 03:06 PM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSss One more!!!! C'mon Carlos

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 03:07 PM

Step one of my plan: complete. Hey, let's pinch run for Woody and put Chavez in there! Oh, wait . . .

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 03:07 PM

¡VAMOS METS!

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 03:07 PM

Come on David. Redemption is within reach.

holychicken Apr 19 2006 03:08 PM

Wright can wipe away his sins with one swing. . .

edit: nevermind. I'm a little slow.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 03:08 PM

How close was Carlos??

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 03:08 PM

Well here you go kid. Make up for it.

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 03:08 PM

Is Andy up to pinch-running?

Johnny Dickshot Apr 19 2006 03:09 PM

I heard Hernandez is lying in a MRI machine.

Diamond Dad Apr 19 2006 03:09 PM

CRAp

Grrr.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 03:11 PM

I hat baseball.

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 03:11 PM

Wright is officially the goat. Back pages of our rags tomorrow morning will be firing on all cylinders. I hate baseball.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 03:12 PM

The worst part about it is that it's going to feel like about a week and a half before first pitch on Friday. Long time to dwell on this game.

metirish Apr 19 2006 03:13 PM

They play Thursday night at 10PM, what's Wright hitting at Shea this season?

A Boy Named Seo Apr 19 2006 03:13 PM

Wright can use the day off. Hell, the whole team can use the day off to get a day healthier without losing.

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 03:14 PM

You know, the worst part is that our team, for all its injuries, was STILL better off than Atlanta's. We're missing Cliff & Beltran; they're missing Chipper, Renteria & Giles--not to mention Hampton. And their scrubs aren't really any better than ours. bleh. This was a crappy fucking game.

ScarletKnight41 Apr 19 2006 03:16 PM

Damn :(

metirish Apr 19 2006 03:18 PM

This is why WWSB likes to say that you never get too high when you're winning or too low when you're losing, he's very even keeled.

old original jb Apr 19 2006 03:19 PM

Everybody break out the panic hats!! The season is ruined!!

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 03:19 PM

If it's any consolation, Diaz probably wouldn't have helped very much: 6 AB, 3 K, 0 H, 0 BB against Hudson.

Yancy Street Gang Apr 19 2006 03:20 PM

I was loving the thought of a game-winning homer by Delgado.

Rotblatt Apr 19 2006 03:22 PM

old original jb wrote: Everybody break out the panic hats!! The season is ruined!! Oh, come on. Join the pity party! This game is CLEARLY an omen of things to come: peeps injured but taking up bench space; ballgames lost to bitter rivals due to errors by our marquee player; scrubs getting most of the playing time while better players languish in the minors, etc., etc., etc. 148 games later, we will look back to this game and say, "THIS is where the season turned."

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 03:26 PM

For what it's worth, I was kind of encouraged by today's game, loss aside. If Glavine pitches this well, we'll have a nice 1 and 2 going. Too bad our 3-4-5 is loaded with question marks.

Edgy DC Apr 19 2006 03:26 PM

Pedro is coming! Pedro is coming!

heep Apr 19 2006 03:29 PM

The only thing to look forward to now is another shutout by Pelfrey tonight.

mlbaseballtalk Apr 19 2006 03:32 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Apr 19 2006 03:37 PM

Ah screw it, image was too freaking huge, suffice to say Doom will have his revenge on the accursed Atlanta Braves!

Elster88 Apr 19 2006 03:33 PM

Endy Chavez better not be starting tomorrow. Do you think you made enough comic book references mlb? Maybe you should squeeze in another 10 or 15.

Centerfield Apr 19 2006 03:34 PM

mlb is weird these days.

i think he cranked his back in warmups yesterday, yeah. man, wright, he looks like he is taking this loss hard in the post-game interview. taking the blame and looking pretty upset. poor guy. cheer up amigo!

They certainly brighten up an otherwise gloomy IGT

metirish Apr 19 2006 08:46 PM

Just watching the replay of the game, Wright had himself a rough day all over the place.

metirish wrote: Just watching the replay of the game, Wright had himself a rough day all over the place. yep-errors kill. So Hernandez goes on the 15 day DL. I know they are calling Matsui up, but whats wrong with calling Diaz back (2 outfielders down) and stickin Woodward at 2nd? Guess we are gonna have to give Kaz his seasonal shot at a position sooner or later. Im thinkin later......

Willets Point Apr 20 2006 07:27 AM

That was like the shortest game ever and you guys still managed to run the IGT up to 12 pages. Nice pitchers duel with a bad ending. The wind was blowing in something fierce so Andruw (sic) Jones really crushed that ball. Bah!

cooby Apr 20 2006 07:34 AM

Poor Willets, what a boring game to choose to go to

Edgy DC Apr 20 2006 07:53 AM

]Guess we are gonna have to give Kaz his seasonal shot at a position sooner or later. Im thinkin later...... I'm thinkin' that Hernandez is going to be out probably longer than 15 days, and has geen a drag on the offense. I don't see how this isn't the obvious move.
