IGT 07/05/2006, Pirates at Mets

KC Jul 05 2006 06:18 PM

I swear the lineups from Shea are among the slowest in the league. I wonder how that all works or if it's my imagination? K. Wells (0-3, 15.19), O. Hernandez (4-8, 5.55)

A first inning run...what a revelation. Reyes triple, LoDuca single, Beltran walk. Mets up 1-0. Still batting.

TransMonk Jul 05 2006 07:36 PM

Valentin bases loaded double. 3-0 Mets, still in the first.

TransMonk Jul 05 2006 07:38 PM

Passed ball and a Chavez single. 5-0 Mets, still bottom of first.

I'm not one to complain about 5-run first innings, but sure woulda been nice to use a 1-out, pitcher-on-deck situation to clear the pitcher for the 2nd. In related news, sure seems as if Woody's doing a lot less than last year in a lot more opportunities.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2006 07:46 PM

Yeah, but think about it... somewhere on the Mets payroll is a scout who said, "Yeah, José Valentin's had nothing for two years, but he looks like his health is coming around to me. Let's bring him in."

Pre-making a dumb out on the basepaths: 5 R, 4 H in 0.2 IP* Post-making a dumb out on the basepaths 0 R, 0 H in 4.1 IP *--I'm being charitable here. -- Could argue it was actually 0.1 IP, since the basepath out came on a strike 'em out, throw 'em out. Outs on the basepaths suck. We've handed these guys 4 innings of bullpen rest and we play them again tomorrow.

I'm sure Willie sent Chavez on a hit and run in the first to "try and get Woody going." Unfortunately, Woody sucks.

Edgy DC Jul 05 2006 09:22 PM

So, is this Kip Wells guy off the Mets list or what?

TransMonk Jul 05 2006 09:25 PM

I doubt it. He fits in well with what our other 3-5 guys in the rotation can do. Props to Kip for shutting down the Mets after the first though.

Mets win, first team in the NL to win 50 games......

ScarletKnight41 Jul 05 2006 09:42 PM

A 5-0 score for Win # 50.

Free tickets for the bleachers night at Shea. Yes, KC, the Shea lineups are among the slowest in the league. They hadn't even posted them at Shea until 6:15, which was very late.

i was there tonight, i know we didnt get a hit after the first but we didn't need to and its always nice for the game to move quickly with a lead if you are there.

Johnny Dickshot Jul 06 2006 02:24 PM

I'd like to take credit for realizing the baserunning gaffe would kill us even before it killed us.
