Philadelphia Phillies @ New York Mets GameThread, Jul 23, 2008 7:10 PM EDT

bases loaded with one out, and the mets can’t put up a crooked number. after the bottom half of the inning we have a one-run ballgame. it seems to happen quite consistently for this team.

I'm really getting tired of this discussion of the lack of complete games in baseball today

(Directed at Gary and Keith and Ron, not at you guys, that is)

It’s a health thing. Teams believe pitchers are more likely to get hurt if they stay in for another 20-30 pitches, and there’s too much money involved to take that risk. It’s not going to stop just because traditionalists dislike it.

Don’t get all BP/THT/Rob Neyer/Keith Law on us. You are being WAY too rational! (Still, I do think that a star pitcher who has gone over 110 pitches SIX times this season could have gone out to start the ninth….)

Victorino

So he was a state champion in the 100m. Why do announcers and hack sportswriters always bring up how baseball players played other sports in high school and college? Look at Darrin Erstad. Every fawning article ever written about him mention that he punted for Nebraska. Like it somehow made him a better baseball player. Ok, Victorino’s fast, but track and baseball are entirely different animals, and being a champion sprinter doesn’t necessarily transfer to baseball. Remember Herb Washington?

UGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!

2 more runners stranded in scoring position.

That's the advantage of the sacrifice bunt.

Give away your outs, don’t score any runs.

Maine

was the story tonight along with Reyes’ bomb of course.

by Endys Game on Jul 23, 2008 9:59 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

I'm still unimpressed with Maine this season

but i will give him this, he has come through a couple times in must win (for me at least) games. The last game of the Dodgers series in LA comes to mind.

5-0 lifetime

against the Philles

Beltran

So tired of being ahead of my time. Another dud 6th and 8th in big spots with RISP for Carlos Beltran. Carlos for Holliday? Yes, please.

BTW, Steve Phillips after the game: “It’s time Carlos Beltran starts acting like a 17 million dollar a year player.”

Agreed.

The 2008 NY Mets: Reyes singles. Castillo infield single. Wright walks. Beltran lines out. ZaBlanc bitches. Delgado strikes out. Reyes picked off third. Fans boo. Padres win 2-1.

You know that Steve Phillips is a moron and most things he says are wrong, right?

by JoshNY on Jul 23, 2008 11:16 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

well

if you want to agree with what STEVE PHILLIPS says, then go right ahead. you want to keep that kind of company, i’m not gonna stop you.

josh beats me by a minute! blast!

Wow

That’s an airtight argument from authority – Steve Phillips. You’ve seen the way he dresses and does his hair, right? I agree. He has really good judgment.

by Shomov on Jul 23, 2008 11:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Well

That, and he AGREES WITH ME, not the other way around. I’d like to think you guys sympathize with Beltran just because I’n so hard on him. It’s fair. I can be mean at times. But, game after game, the same behavior keeps coming out. It kills me that the very rare exception keeps you guys looking the other way for weeks on end.

He’s batting 5th now. And bunting. Lovely.

i sympathize with beltran

because he’s a fantastic baseball player, and there’s only one or two other guys i’d be okay with playing CF for us.

What a joke

You cite anecdotal crap, those who disagree with you cite career performance that contradicts your anecdotal crap, and then you claim WE’RE talking about “the very rare exception”?
