Have any of our position players ever pitched?

If so, I vote for them.

mota

and I’d need another beer.

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.

cause he's not Castillo

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.

carlos

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

I love it when

Keith goes over the fundies.

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

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 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.
