Pitching matchup favors the Mets. But yesterday's pitching matchup favored the Diamondbacks.

Elster88 Jun 11 2006 03:50 PM

Castro not hitting as well this year.

Edgy DC Jun 11 2006 03:51 PM

Philadelphia shut out 6-0. Atlanta losing 9-3 in the fifth. If the team could just get back to hitting on Pedro's days, they could fly out of here in great position.

Yancy Street Gang Jun 11 2006 04:05 PM

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincerest apologies to the Baseball Gods and SBS for my inadvertant proclaimation of a Mets sweep in last night's IGT following the Mets win. I was caught up in the moment of the Soler's brilliant shut out and not thinking clearly. My misstep should in no way be interpreted as a prediction of the outcome for today's upcoming game. Please forgive my transgression and accept my sincerest apology. That should get me and the team off the hook. Now Let's Go Mets!

Zvon Jun 11 2006 04:44 PM

Reyes starts it off with a walk. he was really lookin at pitches there. I love it. Now run Jose run....

Edgy DC Jun 11 2006 04:44 PM

Reyes walks on a 3-2 pitch without swinging at anything.

OlerudOwned Jun 11 2006 04:45 PM

Reyes takes 2nd. C'mon, another fast start would be delightacular.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 11 2006 04:46 PM

Endy bunts for a single. Runners on the corners with none out.

Zvon Jun 11 2006 04:47 PM

Reyes steals and Chavez follows with a awsum bunt---beats it for a single. 1st and 3rd for beltran.

Edgy DC Jun 11 2006 04:47 PM

Go Small Ball!

Hillbilly Jun 11 2006 04:48 PM

1st and 3rd by hitting the ball a total of 60 feet. Speed kills!

OlerudOwned Jun 11 2006 04:48 PM

Ortiz with all sorts of pointless pick off moves, with Reyes and Chavez on the corners. Maybe he'll forget to pitch well to Beltran.

OlerudOwned Jun 11 2006 04:49 PM

Beltran's weak grounder eats up the gold glover Hudson. 1-0 Mets. I heart 1st inning runs.

Hillbilly Jun 11 2006 04:50 PM

Speed kills baby!

ScarletKnight41 Jun 11 2006 04:50 PM

Beltran reaches first on an error, and Reyes scores. Runners on first and second, still none out!

Zvon Jun 11 2006 04:50 PM

Beltrans trying to grow something resembling a beard. Beltran with a shot to 2nd...they scored that an error? Well, i guess it was. Reyes scores and there are still no out.

ScarletKnight41 Jun 11 2006 04:51 PM

Beltran flies out to right, but Reyes challenges Green's arm and gets to third. Runners on the corner, one out.

Beltran also steals second. Lets get at least 3 runs for Pedro.

Nymr83 Jun 11 2006 05:11 PM

Castro blocks the plate beautifully on chavez's bullet home, there'd be an arizona run on the board right now if loduca had been playing.

OlerudOwned Jun 11 2006 05:16 PM

I think it would be more difficult for Castro to not block the plate, he has a good 5 inches and 50 pounds on LoDuca.

Hillbilly Jun 11 2006 05:22 PM

Pedro settles in to a 1-2-3 2nd inning. Nice!

LoDuke tends to get out in front of the plate more, but with that throw by Chavez I thinks its unfair to say the result would not have been the same for Loduca. A sweep tag also would have gotten the runner there. Nice easy 2nd inning for Martinez :)

Argh, Milledge turned to Jell-O on a 3-2 breaking ball. Suxx.

Edgy DC Jun 11 2006 05:37 PM

Good pitch. Strike one was about five inches off the plate and probably high as well. By the way, Mark Grace and his disgraceful announcing is out of the booth this afternoon and I'm gettig Hall-of-Famer Joe Garagiola going to work for his son.

Zvon Jun 11 2006 05:38 PM

milledge takes strike 3 with the bases loaded. But id rather see him patient like that, running the count and lookin for one pitch, than be over agressive and swingin wild at anything close. This sounds silly, but i liked that at bat by him. He had it set up to look for his pitch.

Pedro turns it up a notch and gets out of it. Mets have not allowed a run yet thanks to:

Reyes drawing walks like Adam Dunn. Hitting for a comprabale average too, but I'll take what he can get.

Zvon Jun 11 2006 05:59 PM

Reyes with his second base on balls for the day. This is what we need to see from him. Hes got a decent number of hits and he needs to up that OBP to be the kind of lead off batter he should be. Cuz he gets to 1st and 2nd is as good as his--like there- Reyes steals second again.

Elster88 Jun 11 2006 06:00 PM

I guess Reyes is just running on the pitch he feels best about, but I question him going on 3-0 right there.

Elster88 Jun 11 2006 06:01 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 11 2006 06:01 PM

First pitch lined between right and center and bounces to the wall. This team runs well. Lip-reading Willie reveals "Get in the gap." It did.

Zvon Jun 11 2006 06:01 PM

Damn---Beltran is as hot as the temperature out there. Doubles in both with a gapper to right center.

OlerudOwned Jun 11 2006 06:02 PM

Carlos Beltran doesn't want to leave Arizona. Two-run double to the gap makes it 5-0. Beltran's 487th hit of the series.

Nymr83 Jun 11 2006 06:02 PM

And, although he has only started 25 games, Chavez has 7 outfield assists, placing him third in the NL. And, we seem to have our own Dale Murphy or Craig Biggio - a player who moved from catcher to centerfield. He made a nice running catch in the right-center gap. Later

This is really scary. When the Mets were looking to sweep the Phils at home a few weeks ago, I wanted to start an IGT making a Cobra Kai reference. I was looking for a good picture of Kreese yelling and caption it "Phinish him!" I couldn't find a pic though. And hence, I didn't start the IGT. I also looked for a pic of the scene where he wipes Johnny's blood away so I could caption it "Sweep the Phils. Do you have a problem with that Mr. Lawrence?" Couldn't find one of those either.
