Well

Out of our hands . . . just fucking win this win and let’s see what happens.

Let’s Go Mets! Ya Gotta Believe!

Super positive thread

Good vibes, people. We have the whole offseason to piss and moan. Let’s Go Mets!

fucking rain delay.

I can’t believe Omar couldn’t have done something about this terrible weather. Man, what an incompetent. Paul DePodesta would have used a sophisticated meteorological computer to work out his pitching plan.

… there, that took care of that.

let me get back to you on that

The butcher and the baker and the people on the street, where did they go? To meet the Mets!

by Rod Gaspar Fan Club on Sep 27, 2008 1:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I guess

One benefit of the rain delay is that Santana is getting closer and closer to pitching on full rest.

Off-topic

Does it bother anyone else that Kelsey Grammer spells his last name with an “e”?

It's a common mistake.

That’s one of the most common misspellings in English, so it just shows he’s not really that different from the rest of us. At least Aaron and Tori have better Spelling.

However, if any of you are out of town subscribers to “Extra innnings” and like me, can’t see the damn game on account of Faux policy feel free to email me and join my powerful social movement. I plan to spend/waste all my time this winter petitioning MLB to amend this ridiculous policy.

Santana looks strong

maybe he can put to test this crap that he has to have 4days rest-that he can only go 5 or 6. He’s a stud. A gamer. The best in the game. May prove to be the real bright spot in another disappointing season.

Johan's been strong

and, other than the first four batters of the first inning, so has Nolasco.

by pingel on Sep 27, 2008 2:40 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

me too

But I seem to recall that Beltran hates batting second, and I’m concerned that he be happy — as long as Murphy and not the second baseman du jour is the alternative 2-hole hitter.

by anonymous on Sep 27, 2008 2:41 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

which is weird

because he’s got great skills as a #2 hitter and also because he’s GOOD at it – his career OPS in the #2 spot is .924, better than anywhere else in the lineup except 7th/8th (which I assume must’ve been way early in his career with KC and is only 141 combined plate appearances)

by JoshNY on Sep 27, 2008 2:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes

(with the caveat that lineups don’t really matter much) Beltran’s skills seem like a natural fit for the #2 spot — great on-base ability, real homer power but also constant doubles threat, amazing baserunning (best SB ever!). All that to me adds up to a natural fit in the 2-hole. But, because lineups don’t matter much, I still think it’s more important to keep the dude comfortable and happy with his role.

by anonymous on Sep 27, 2008 2:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

sorry

that should read “best SB rate ever!” (obviously).

by anonymous on Sep 27, 2008 2:54 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

true, as I understand it they don't matter much

maybe he sees better pitches as #2? maybe he’s just trying really hard to show that he’s awesome so that he gets moved back to 3/4/5?

by JoshNY on Sep 27, 2008 2:56 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

refresh my memory

With all the statistical studies (or “the” study) that argue that lineup doesn’t matter, then why don’t they advocate having your four worst hitters hit 1-4? Your best hitters still need to hit more often right? A team like this that often lacks a certain chemistry on offense, I would not take any option off the table.

If Beltran could help the team more in the 2 hole, than I don’t see the argument that he shouldn’t bc he’s not “happy” there.

by itsmetsforme on Sep 27, 2008 3:06 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah, the most important thing is the number of ABs

Hitters higher in the lineup sometimes get one more AB late in a game, so they end up getting a couple dozen more ABs over a full season. That’s about the sum total of the lineup’s effect.

by anonymous on Sep 27, 2008 3:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

my default assumption is that Belty would

embiggen the team more in the 2 hole with the particular skill he has.

thanks

I’ve seen that argument before but. I dunno. I guess I just hold out hope for some magical tweak that would address the way this particular offense goes cold at the same time so often. Isolate the contagion.

i can understand blacking out the fox games

but it pisses me off when there’s an early saturday game that is blacked out cause it might overlap with the fox game for like 20 minutes. that’s annoying.

by englishgrey on Sep 27, 2008 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

i think so

fox is supposed to be the only channel with baseball on saturday afternoon, so they always end up blacking out the 1pm sat. games even though fox doesn’t broadcast them

Church needs this off-season to get right

The guy showed some great skills before going on the DL and other than that great slide the other night, he has been horrible. Leaving way too many men on base.

by losangelesmets on Sep 27, 2008 3:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

my opinion, and i am alone here

is that he needs to fight for a job next spring with everyone else. a couple months of promising play ain’t enough to keep omar from looking for possible better outfielders.

Santana the Magnificent

He should pitch the 9th. If only ahead by 2 he has to. He’s getting stronger. Why does everybody assume because he’s pitching on 3 days rest he runs a real risk of hurting his arm. Show me evidence that this is true. Keep plugging Johan you have every other sucker on this team quadrupled in character.

but I don’t think it’s even a point of debate that overwork is tied to arm injuries

by JoshNY on Sep 27, 2008 3:51 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed, but...

Johan is an athlete vs so many other pitchers that put on weight and their mechanics change as the work increase , etc… I am not saying you aren’t correct, but I dont think 3 weeks of high pitch count and 1 short rest start constitutes over work.

Mentally, I am sure the guy is glad to finish given how many times he has been screwed this year by the bullpen.

When they induct Santana into the Hall of Fame,

this game is going to be a big part of the highlight reel, and an argument for him wearing a Mets logo on his cap. Am I the only one thinking of Schilling’s “bloody sock” game, Leiter against the Reds, and Bobby Jones’s playoff one-hitter? This has to be one of the greatest pitching performances in Mets history.

by anonymous on Sep 27, 2008 4:01 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Of slightly less import than those other games

But only barely so. Probably the second-most important regular season pitching performance in franchise history, after the Leiter start.

Someone is streaming this game so If you can’t watch it here is the post

I have it running, but it requires a lot of buffering, and you need the tvant streaming client to see it. I might go back to the MLB audio feed from Pat and Ron.

Just click on the row with the Brewers vs. Cubs. It is a few minutes behind the actual game because of buffering issues, and it’s not easy to find the tvant client on the internet.

on the face of it, not sure the mets would stand a chance vs cubs if they got that far

however, the mets are so hot and cold, and they’ve been slumping their way through the past few weeks, i wouldn’t be surprised if they went on a tear.

i was thinking that

the sad facts are a) we are depending on Ollie and b) Johan on one day’s rest would be better than anything else we got on monday
