From what talking heads have been saying
it seems as if an integral component of “edge” is coming from behind, so if Livan gives up some early runs, don’t worry – they’re just setting the stage to keep their “edge”

interesting question
Keith just said that the Mets have committed only one error in Livan’s starts because he works fast and keeps his fielders on their toes. I wonder if there is actually any causation between the two.
by JoshNY on May 5, 2009 7:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I guess we should check to see if lots of errors were committed
whenever Steve Trachsel pitched.

by Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright on May 5, 2009 7:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
for that to be fair you'd need to compare him to a fast moving pitcher on the same team
by rob neyer for prez on May 5, 2009 7:25 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
2006 (the year that Trachsel won 15 games even though he blew)
Mets errors were responsible for 3 unearned runs being charged to him. That was the fewest of anyone who started more than 10 games for the Mets. (Glavine 10, Pedro 6, Duque 5, Maine 4.)
Not that that proves anything, of course.
by JoshNY on May 5, 2009 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It'd be an interesting project
For instance — was the Mets defense behind Trachsel worse than it was behind, say, Pedro in ’06?

by HotChipWillBreakYourLegs on May 5, 2009 7:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They say that a lot, the old school baseball players
and that’s why Ollie is death on defenses because he’s slow and he walks the park and he doesn’t pitch to contact unless the ball goes over the fence, so the fielders don’t feel involved and then aren’t loose and ready to make plays when the ball is actually hit at them.
Or some bullshit like that.

according to gameday
that last pitch was a strike, not ball four
by englishgrey on May 5, 2009 7:42 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
It would have been called a strike, IMO
I don’t hate him for swinging at it.
by Prince on May 5, 2009 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
He hasn't called it a strike yet, but maybe it was
The fact of the matter is, our hitters in situations when the pitchers has to throw them a meatball are not waiting for their pitch. They are swinging at the pitcher’s pitch and letting them dictate what to swing at.
Worse case, that pitch is called a strike and it’s a 3-2 count.

If you're pitching against the Mets...
You just have to load the bases whenever possible, and you can take a 0.00 ERA to the bank.

Kotchman is slow
He picks up the ball and makes a good throw he has a good shot at Kotchman.
Instead he made the chance of getting Kotchman out at second 0.

No way
That was hit shallow and slicing toward the line and Kotchman was busting it. He bobbled thinking he could gun him down at 2nd, but there was no way that was happening.

I disagree yet again
I see what UZR is saying with him. He’s not better than Beltran, but his range is good and his arm is strong and increasingly accurate. He will learn how to track the ball and hopefully become more sure-handed (that will be the greatest obstacle) and become an above-average CF by summertime.
I’m bullish on him. Murph for 2nd base!

At first I really like watching Livan starts...
Because besides Johan, he’s the only starter that doesn’t walk dudes and throw a million pitches early. But then his true talent level shines through….and it isn’t a pretty sight.

is there anywhere to see what the top individual seasons are? In my searching around, the best season I’ve seen is Mantle’s 1956, when he had a 13.0 (he followed with a 12.5 in ’57. Mantle was flat out awesome).

I’m assuming that if his 2001 season wasn’t over a 13 and Mays never even really came close to a 13, then nobody else since 1955 did. Even Pujols’ best season was only an 11.1. I’d be really interested to see how guys like Williams, DiMaggio, Gehrig, Ruth, and the deadballers (Cobb, Wagner, Speaker, etc.) rank on that.

WTF, that was an unlucky inning for Wright.
That was a bad throw, it just happened it went right to the glove of the moving fielder who happened to be right next to Wright’s leg.
