Have any of our position players ever pitched?
If so, I vote for them.

oy.
Apparently for Howie Rose, the moral code of the ballplayer trumps getting the leadoff guy out. If he’s right, and Maine plunked Lopez to send a message, that’s one dumb move.

I'm so disgusted with the commentary re: the cheering section
What are they supposed to do. Mets need to spend less time worrying about professionalism and more on winning.

If Maine was throwing at Lopez
wouldn’t he have had a better shot?

Delgado bunt
Why does he not do that more often?
The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

I’m not saying he should do it all the time, but there are plenty of situations where he should just try to get on base.

should definitely bunt more often. I’m thinking every time he steps up to the plate.

Nothing like
One run out of a bases loaded, nobody out. Go Mets.

sac bunting with one out and runners on first and third will do that
Plus Reyes swinging on the first pitch AGAIN after the pitcher is wild
by JohnPeterson on May 13, 2008 7:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Reyes
Is unbelievable that way. Time to grow up and be a big league hitter instead of a hacker. I love the guy, don’t get me wrong. He’s my boy. But I’m not going to gloss over the fact that he has A LOT to learn about hitting and he’s still making rookie mistakes just because he’s on my team.

in fairness on the bunt
it was John Maine that bunted. If he doesn’t and makes contact it’s likely a dp.
by DoctorK16 on May 13, 2008 7:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not really
Gonna knock that move. That was the right call. More lamenting we had two cracks at driving in some runs and we just picked up one on a fielder’s choice.
If they want to send messages, that would have been a good time to do it instead of some cheesy hit batsman. Go out and beat them 8-1 and the message gets sent.

i really don't understand
how anyone can condone sac bunting with runners on 1st and 3rd and 1 out. That’s always terrible.
by JohnPeterson on May 13, 2008 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
if it was even a decent hitting pitcher like Santana
I might go for it, but Maine is not a hitter. That’s the right move IMO.

or
he could get a hit or a fly ball
by JohnPeterson on May 13, 2008 7:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
very unlikely JP
And he’s gotta hit a deep fly ball as Delgado is the runner on third. He’s the probably the worse hitting pitcher in baseball.
by DoctorK16 on May 13, 2008 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He's a pitcher
And would you rather take a shot with first and third with the pitcher, or second and third and your All-Star leadoff man?
by Doc's Sports Picks Guru on May 13, 2008 8:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
both
which is the likely outcome either way, with a greater probability of scoring when you don’t automatically give up an out with the pitcher hitting
by JohnPeterson on May 13, 2008 8:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
oh would you look at that
a Maine hit
by JohnPeterson on May 13, 2008 8:25 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
you play the percentages
It was still the right move.
by DoctorK16 on May 13, 2008 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I gotta agree
His career out rate is 85%.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/mainejo01.shtml
Practically anyone else in baseball and I agree with JP, but he hardly knows which end of the bat to hold.

Damn
Delgado smoked that ball, great catch by Milledge. Tough to fault Dr. Teeth there.

this game
is a straight-up continuation of last night
2 runs on 9 hits for the Mets
2 runs on 2 hits for the Nats
ughhhhh

wow.
Reyes is back to about his 2004 form—he won’t take a single pitch.
by anonymous on May 13, 2008 9:04 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
that wasn't even a swing
Reyes looks horrible
by JohnPeterson on May 13, 2008 9:04 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Reyes looked good over the weekend
It’s right handed he seems to be messed up now.
by DoctorK16 on May 13, 2008 9:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If he keeps it up
Reyes will get the overrated tag hung around his neck. This goes back to last September. It may not be a slump, but a trend

YES!
I’m pretty sure 2 runs on 11 hits would drive me mad

Oh hey, we just got this guy back
let’s put him into a tie game… err, 2-run lead.

Sanchez
hasn’t been great lately. Hope he’s on. The set-up problem could get bad.

all he needed to do was hit from the left side
nice hit there. but why is he in the dugout?

Maine start
Johnny boy had a heck of a day. They better hang on to this one for him.

Take it to Church.
Ryan Church is 8th in the league in RBI. Who saw that coming?
