Open Thread - Game #27: Mets vs. Diamondbacks (05/02/2008)

New York Mets at Arizona Diamondbacks, May 2, 2008 9:40 PM EDT





W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - John Maine 2-2 5 5 0 0 0 0 27.2 26 11 11 3 17 23 3.58 1.55


W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP
2008 - Micah Owings 4-0 5 5 0 0 0 0 31.0 22 12 12 4 9 28 3.48 1.00

The Mets lineup display is a bit wonky (damn you, data provider!). Perhaps the machines are as surprised as we are that Moises Alou is making his season debut tonight in Arizona. He should be slotted in between Carloses Beltran and Delgado, the power righty bat to play the meat in a sucktacular Puerto Rican sandwich.

With the early game on Wednesday and the late game tonight, it feels like the Mets haven't played in a week. Micah Owings is on the hill for the Diamondbacks, and he would probably be batting sixth in the Mets' lineup were he pitching for us instead. John Maine has had three pretty solid games in a row, even if he is still walking a few more batters than he should.

Shut up and play

Lets do this. April wa not a great month but nobody ran away and hid in the division. Alou is back and we are in Chase Field which has been very kind to us of late. Lets Play Ball!!

It’ll be interesting to see how we handle Micah Owings at the plate and on the mound.

Ooh yea

Lead-off triple baby. It was a bit of a bloop, but it still came pretty damned close to clearing that right-field fence.

Of course

You’ll get a different POV here, I’m sure, but the more the merrier.

What do we know about Owings’s injury? Seems to be favoring his right ankle?

by Eric Simon on May 2, 2008 9:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's tender, but just a bit of a strain.

May affect his control, though…. as we’ve already seen.

Wright

He really doesn’t have very good speed. He’s a smart baserunner, and he does a great job of picking his spots for stolen bases, but he’s pretty sluggish to be honest. Not slow, but I don’t think he’s any faster than average.

by Eric Simon on May 2, 2008 9:52 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Well, he did steal 34 bases last year

That’s one every 5 games. Stealing 15 or 20 may be picking your spots, but you’ve gotta have good speed to go 34-for-39 IMO.

Yeah. We're paying extra

for everything that doesn’t show up in the stats. Like how he always flips when throwing the ball back into the infield. And how he has a goofy TV show. And stuff.

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

by DbacksSkins on May 2, 2008 10:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yea

The advanced defensive metrics ranked him favorably last year, and he has definitely improved over the last couple of seasons. He’s not the best 3B in the league, but he’s in the top half. Should that be enough to win a GG? No, but Derek Jeter has three of ‘em, so Wright is a fine choice by comparison.

by Eric Simon on May 2, 2008 10:17 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah.

1st criterion for winning the GG: You won it last year.
2nd criterion for winning the GG: You can hit well.

The Mets just light it up out here. Not sure if it’s the humidity, but they love hitting at the BOB. Or, whatever it’s called now.

Humidity, or lack thereof?

We also have the 2nd thinnest air because we’re at the 2nd highest altitude—after Coors.

Not as badly as it did last year

But Sosa and Heilman have been bad. We should be OK, though. Duaner Sanchez is finally back.

This idiot, who used to call games for the Rockies, is permatemping on the Mets’ radio broadcasts this year. It’s more fun to complain about his crappy calls than just to listen to them.

In this particular case, he tied himself in knots trying to explain why he mis-called the play rather than just going on with the game.

Hmmm...

maybe I’ve been too harsh on him. He does so many different things for our team. So many different types of outs.

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

Gotta love

Delgado with his arm around Reyes. Hilarious. What advice could he give him about that?

Web Gem

So who had the better web gem Wright or Reyes?

by MAN in the BOX on May 3, 2008 12:08 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Wright

Reyes’s play was great, but Wright’s was a much tougher play.

Mets win

It was a great win last night, but two things; first we need to be more consistent (can’t get blown out at home by the minor league Pirates, then beat up on the D-backs in Arizona),
second, when Reyes gets on we are a different team. Lets hope this is the start of something good!
