Early game today boys and girls, you'll have to PiP the second half of soccer.

I think I may have reversed Nady & Castro if for no other reason than to keep Ramon from clogging up the bases in front of Jose if they both get on.
|
MFS62 Jun 25 2006 11:48 AM |
I would have given Marrero a shot behind the dish.
|
Johnny Dickshot Jun 25 2006 11:53 AM |
Castro is better than Marerro right now, not to mention sending him down essentially leaves you without a second catcher while PLo heals. If last year's magic is gone, how come he's OPSing at viortually the same rate?
|
Nymr83 Jun 25 2006 12:11 PM |
Reyes apparently thinks he's a HR hitter now too.

Darling says "Towers doesnt have any one pitch to get Delgado out", but somehow he has three that strike him out.

nice throw to first Traschel.
|
OlerudOwned Jun 25 2006 12:21 PM |
MLB Gamecast just said Reed Johnson scored from first on a Catalanatto ground out to second.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 12:22 PM |
|
Yea-He gives it right back.....like he can afford to. Ha

Johnson went 1st-3rd on a wild pickoff attempt by Traschel

that must be considered the extremely condensed version of the event. It followed a 2 base throwing error by Trax, put Johnson on third. He scored on the ground out.

That aint one-A-mine-- I just ran a google search for assclown. lol.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 12:34 PM |
Valentin, following a Wright single and a fielders choice, gets tossed out at second as part of the hit and run that niether hit well enough nor ran fast enough.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 12:39 PM |
I like Darling in the booth.

lol-.......suit yourself.:) ______thats a pun^ Mets are playin "half there". A delayed steal makes the boys look "totally not there." I saw that thing with Delgado where he didnt retouch the bag on his way back to 1st last night. No excuse for shit like that. Still, we got game at 1-1.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 12:52 PM |
Castro on second as a result of an infield single, that was all over the infield.

Wow. How hot is Reyes right now? I keep waiting for him to cool off, and in this case, I beg to differ with Mr. Petty . . .
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:06 PM |
Damn-I missed the play by Chavez-howd that play out?
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:13 PM |
Pretty quick game so far, considering Trachsel is pitching.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:15 PM |
K-Trax will slo down now after giving up da bomb to Overbay.
|
Nymr83 Jun 25 2006 01:18 PM |
Molina homers. its 4-3.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:20 PM |
Trax gives up another g0fer to Molina.
|
Nymr83 Jun 25 2006 01:23 PM |
wow quick hook for towers
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:25 PM |
MFY note: That game, one of two because of yesterdays rain out, is in a rain delay. Willis VS Mussina when it gets underway.

REYES with an RBI infield single and---
|
Nymr83 Jun 25 2006 01:30 PM |
wild pitch! lol

According to Yahoo Stat Tracker Reyes is now batting .300. WOWWWWWWWWWWWW.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:34 PM |
Reyes better get the starting AllStar game gig.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:44 PM |
Trachsel has been serving some pretty fat pitches up there.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:51 PM |
|
He actually has slown down dramatically since i mentioned this earlier. maybe its all the opposing batters he is allowing to reach. Trax walks Wells to load the bases. Only 1 out.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 01:56 PM |
He gets out of it with a lead.

Zvon Jun 25 2006 02:00 PM |

Ty Taubenheim's last name means "home of doves," which is very poetic for a relief pitcher.

They finally get Reyes out on a wicked liner to right.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 02:28 PM |
This is the 1st time in a looooong time that I can remember Bradford coming into a situation where he wasnt bailing out Feliciano.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 02:45 PM |
I may have to rethink that biggest surprise thread post cuz Valentin is doing such a fantastic job as our second baseman.

Zvon Jun 25 2006 02:57 PM |

The movement on his pitches seem to move sideways. I really couldnt see the difference between his fastball and changeup via TV-- Oh wait-now i see--the change takes a lil dip. Heilman Ks two. Nice enough inning. Does he stay the 9th? They were showing Wags stretching out there.
|
dinosaur jesus Jun 25 2006 02:58 PM |
Gotta be Wagner.
|
KC Jun 25 2006 03:00 PM |
Jose get his 4th hit AGAIN ... he's freakin' unconsc, er unconci, er unbelievably hot.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 03:01 PM |
Reyes with a 9th inning single, 32 for the last 57 (.561).
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 03:05 PM Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jun 25 2006 03:08 PM |
Okay--
|
Edgy DC Jun 25 2006 03:08 PM |
Wagner's throwing strikes. I'm OK wit' dat.
|
KC Jun 25 2006 03:10 PM |
He walks another freakin' batter.
|
Edgy DC Jun 25 2006 03:11 PM |

Zvon Jun 25 2006 03:13 PM |
If he walked Glaus I wouldnt went off.
|

He walks another freakin' batter.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 03:15 PM |
UGH!
|
Edgy DC Jun 25 2006 03:15 PM |
Ouch. Tough call by Wally Bell.
|
Nymr83 Jun 25 2006 03:17 PM |
wagner gets out of it in John Franco-like style
|
Edgy DC Jun 25 2006 03:18 PM |
Franco never had heat like that.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 03:20 PM |
Wagner looks wicked on Overbay tho- burns him with fastballs.
|
KC Jun 25 2006 03:20 PM |
Trax wins fourth straight as Wags prevails (the guy makes me as nutty as
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 03:23 PM |
|
Wagner does look like himself vs lefties. Maybe if we give Sanchez a HUUUUUUGE raise everyone will find this acceptable
|
dinosaur jesus Jun 25 2006 03:30 PM |
Trachsel gets the benefit of some run support again. I wouldn't mind if he stayed this luck for the rest of the season.
|
Zvon Jun 25 2006 03:33 PM |
|
lol--but this is a tragic truth.
|
dinosaur jesus Jun 25 2006 03:37 PM |
I meant to say, if you turned the tables and gave Trachsel Pedro's run support. I guess that was fairly clear.
|
ScarletKnight41 Jun 25 2006 04:59 PM |
It was the reverse of yesterday's score :)
|
Frayed Knot Jun 25 2006 09:52 PM |
The Reyes HR leading off the game is a great example of why "plate discipline" or "working the count" means so much more than just talking walks.
|
Nymr83 Jun 25 2006 10:08 PM |
wrong and wrong. the WORST thing that can happen is for Reyes to start swinging for the fences. walks SHOULD be the goal for him because he needs to get his ass on base any way he can to benefit from his speed.
|
Frayed Knot Jun 25 2006 10:21 PM |
Not saying he should swing for the fences, at least not indiscriminately.
|
Edgy DC Jun 25 2006 10:45 PM |
Walks shouldn't be the goal for anybody.
|
dinosaur jesus Jun 25 2006 10:51 PM |
Is he really swinging for the fences when he hits it out, or is he just trying to make good contact?
|
Frayed Knot Jun 25 2006 11:08 PM |
Good contact, IMO.
|
Nymr83 Jun 25 2006 11:36 PM |
|
getting on base should be the goal for anybody who doesn't have great power (situations aside.) unless you are Ichiro, getting on base means drawing walks. trying to draw walks is a good idea, you take the hits when they come but walking should be your intention because you can't make an out when you walk as opposed to when you swing at a good pitch you can still ground out. the greatest leadoff hitter of all-time did it with walks. (career line of .279/.401/.419)
|
Edgy DC Jun 25 2006 11:51 PM |
|
Getting on base means getting on base.
|
Elster88 Jun 26 2006 09:03 AM |

I liked his second single even more. (I think it was the second, it was the one he grounded up the middle.) In the replay, you can see him almost getting up on his feet and swinging perfectly level, almost down on the ball, and hit it solidly. Perfectly in control the hole time, not stepping up the line, not upper-cutting. Our little baby's all grows up.
|
dinosaur jesus Jun 26 2006 09:33 AM |
A hit is better than a walk. Even a single with no one on is marginally better, since it sometimes results in an error. Unless there's no one on base and you're going to steal second anyway, I don't think walking should ever be the primary goal. The walks should come when you're not getting good pitches to hit--that is, when the chances of getting a hit are quite low. And if you're willing to take the walks, you'll get more pitches to hit. Rickey did it with walks, especially late in his career, but I don't think anyone ever complained that Tony Gwynn didn't walk a lot. The ideal balance is what Boggs had: if it's in the strike zone it's a hit; if not, it's a walk.
