Let's go Pelf!
Have I mentioned that I don’t particularly care for the Phillies?
Not one bit.
"It's Father's Day today at Shea, so to all you fathers out there, Happy Birthday." -- Ralph Kiner
I don't think anyone on this site does.
"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran
And here is why
They are overrated. I dont care if they won the world series. They are simply an overrated team that got lucky and will never be heard from in 5 years. This “rivalry” will be long forgotten after Ryan Howard has moved on Jimmy Rollins will be OBPing, .320 if he is lucky and Chase Utley leaves for the Yankees.

That's just it
I think they’re boring and I don’t look forward to playing them. I can’t work up a good-healthy hatred the way I have in days past for the Braves or the Cardinals. Or even the Yankees!
"It's Father's Day today at Shea, so to all you fathers out there, Happy Birthday." -- Ralph Kiner
i agree
i don’t take the franchise seriously still. to paraphrase john lennon, “i don’t believe in Phillies.” The fact that they haven’t handled being world champs particularly class-i-ly just reinforces my feelings. that said, they’re still better than we are.

Lineup
Same as last night for the Mets while Jimmy Rollins moves to the leadoff spot for the Phils.
"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran
So then I assume
That Murph and F! will get their lefty at bats against Moyer.
"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran
while
I like having the same lineup for the second straight game, I have to wonder about Scheider’s position on the depth chart. The guy is actually 4/12 against Hamels. Is Santos now officially starting catcher for the Mets?
I would have been shocked if Jerry would have givin Schnieder the start...he is a lefty ya know.
But overall I agree with you, but Jerry doesn’t look at history or stats, he goes with his gut and lefty-righty matchups. With a lefty on the mound he wants a righty in the box.

Like,
He makes me sad. Then, I feel guilty for disliking him. I mean, he didn’t do anything wrong, he’s trying his best to contribute to my favorite team. And that makes me depressed.

You probably dislike him a little
because of all the attention from the clutch hits. Santos has gotten some big hits, but he’s just not that good and we gave up a superior player to keep him.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
yes,
that’s true. On the other hand, while I liked Castro, he really was a bit lazy and could not be relied on. Hence, I really do not complain too much about getting rid of him.
At the end of the day
Josh Thole is the catcher of the future
by aparkermarshall on Jun 10, 2009 7:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Right
I don’t think the difference between Santos and Castro is a losing and winning season, respectively. You just hate to see the GM make the wrong move.

Then sheff would never get anything to hit
And it really would be all Wright and Beltran

made Hamels work
Let’s get to him as he tires in the 5th.
Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.
I like Sheff, he's been a pleasant surprise
but can anyone tell me why he bats ahead of Wright?
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
I think
That Jerry believes David Wright is a better, more threatening hitter, than Sheff. So by putting David behind Sheff (who has great plate discipline) it forces the pitchers to pitch to Sheff and if they walk him then Wright is there to back him up
"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran
basically all statistical analysis will tell you
that small effect of “protection” in the order is not equal to what you get from getting the extra at-bats from wright
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
The whole protecting a batter has been disproven.
But that’s probably Jerry’s logic
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
I never said it was smart
just the reasoning
"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran
has it really been "disproven"
or have studies thus far failed to show the effect assumed?

At this moment,
David Wright has the highest OPS+ of his career (155 before the single)
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
yay dubs
lets get something started
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
hamels balks
the incredibly slowwww movement to home.
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
not that it matters

Wright
hitting the ball the other way is nice-like he used to do in 05-06

are solid defensively at every damn position

despite the high steals
Wright’s % is bad

That could have been bad
had Hamels saw him

nice pick
nothing you can do

if church was struggling
wright might try to swipe third
but not now
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
hard to steal third with a lefty batting too

so
it took 3 pitches to get two outs after getting our leadoff man into scoring position with none

Now you guys are presenting Omir’s stats since the trade without any comparison, say to Hippo’s, as evidence he sucks forever.
I’d still rather see him than Schneid.

Santos is smart
He knew he only had to play baseball until one of the other catchers were traded. At least we didnt get rid of a solid major league bat with pop
small sample size fun:
omir santos since ramon castro was traded: 5-21 with one double.
hippo was his inspiration!

that's probably what my grandpa said
when Joe DiMaggio was in Center for the Yankees. He was wrong. Hopefully you are too (not b/c I don’t love Beltran, but b/c I want Mickey Mantle 2.0 after he retires)
I really hate when people
compare Ted Williams and Dimaggio.
Williams was much better throughout their careers.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
huh?
was I comparing them? Also, Williams was a much better hitter, but most accounts make him out to be Manny Ramirez-esque in the field, while DiMaggio is Beltran-esque. If true, that would certainly make up a lot of ground between the two of them.
If only the recieved the attention they deserved
More so Beltran and Reyes than Wright and Santana
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
That's a bit much
Longoria’s a beast also. As are Sizemore and some others.

I was told by a Phillies fan
that the Philly media is all over the Phillies for that stuff, too. He is wrong.
The Philly media
if anything, kills the Mets, too.
I don't know
I’m really not sure if that’s the case. Speculation about who the media “favors” always comes from both sides.
Really, Jerry?
I'd say the national media
pegs the Mets as gritless choke artists, and Reyes as an asshole. Generally.
I agree that Reyes is portrayed negatively
As for the “gritlessness”, the media always tries to explain teams’ success or failure. This is just their way of trying to rationalize the Mets’ September struggles.

No Jerry bet on 100 years of national league baseball

Anyone feel this is a must win
If we lose, we will sink into defeatism black hole thinking. I fear the Mets lack that gut, we got grit, but lack gut…mentally…does that make sense?
it's important
“must-win” is a stupid, stupid phrase

Most Valuable Pedro
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
Let's count the managerial mistakes in that half-inning:
1) Not pinch-running with Fernando Martinez.
2) Sacrifice bunting with a guy without a sac bunt since 2002.
2.5a) Not foreseeing that the Phillies would obviously IBB Church to get to Santos; or
2.5b) Thinking that he could rely on Omir Santos with the bases loaded, one out.
3) Letting Omir Santos hit.
He had to let Omir hit
At that point, Chollie just brings in Eyre to face any of our bench lefties.
I'd rather anyone else against anyone.
At least those other players take pitches and don’t pop up the first pitch like 25% of the time.

I guess
but then we’re in that spot where we’re using our entire bench in one fell swoop again. F-Mart pinch running, Murphy for Santos, then another PH, likely Schneider, who has to come in anyway…
Yea, but tied game, late, with bases loaded, one out...

Castillo poses an interesting question
If someone has the weakest .360 OBP possible and terrible range at an important defensive position, when does that OBP become outweighed by the total lack of power and crappy defense? Fangraphs has Castillo at almost exactly replacement level now.
I will not allow the denigration of the life essence
replacement is about right
his slow speed, no power, and awful range severely mitigate his OBP strength
he’d be a wonderful second baseman if he cost $2 million a year
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
maybe.
in reality, not like we have better options at this moment. so it’s better than all his faults without the OBP. and 2nd basemen typically don’t have any power OR any OBP, so it’s better than nothing.
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
2 million?
Replacement essentially means his performance is worth minimum.

But.. but… but… its the best bullpen in the league!Yet in close games they always seem to fuck shit up. It is nice that we used Sean Green in the 7th inning, no, no, can’t go to the 8th inning man in the 7th, even though there was no 8th inning lead to hold down. We have to save Parnell so he can come in against 3 lefties and intimidate them with his .340 BA against left handed hitters. You know they will lose tomorrow, Moyer will confuse the Mets, Redding will suck cock as usual… etc. They have a perfect opportunity to negate the horrible week last week by making up 3 games in 3 days against the Phillies, are on their way, and blow a 3 run lead in the 7th inning.

Neither do I.
Castillo hit a shot in the 9th that might’ve won the game but Park made a good play between his legs. Wright hit a shot in the 10th that would’ve won the game but Werth made a great diving catch. Shit happens. Would I have preferred they scored more runs? Yep. But it ain’t like they lost 20-0 and are stranded in last place. They are three games out of first on June 10 while missing their lead-off and clean-up hitters. Long ways to go.

"They are three games out of first on June 10 while missing their lead-off and clean-up hitters."
Which makes it even more necessary to win games against the division leader that you are ahead by three runs in the 7th inning, with the “best bullpen in the league”.
Believe me, I get that people who knee jerk off these losses piss you off. I am not one of those break up the core, Wright sucks, we need more rah rah type of assholes. But at what point do they start putting these teams away when they have them all but finished?

you don't bother
to offer anything meaningful that is. You just spout mindless WFAN rant shit and call it a day.
You couldn't have a less accurate idea of the type of fan that I am.
But you are right. The Mets played a perfect game and they should be applauded. Give me a fucking break. I get that it is a long year and all this shit, does that mean I can’t be pissed off that they literally handed the most important game of the year to our hated division rival? I also do find it meaningful that the Mets leave tons and tons of runners on base, and that our manager hasn’t the slightest clue to how to handle a bullpen or make in game substitutions. Maybe you don’t consider that meaningful, but I do. But go ahead, continue to make baseless claims about people you know nothing about. Again, you couldn’t possibly be further away from the truth by describing me the way you did.

It is weird...
how nobody can criticize David Wright, even when he makes an obvious horrible play, without sarcastic remarks. If Reyes made that play, we would have to watch baseball tonight, Mets postgame, every talk radio show talk about how he is immature, doesn’t care about baseball, and is overrated, yet Wright makes a critical error and nobody even seems to care. I love the guy, but why is it that he is criticism proof?

I would assume that it is the use of the moniker “Golden Boy”. I deign not speak for ASD but, to my mind, such terminology is a bit baiting. Just my opinion.

That loss sucked
but, perspective. Hamels vs. Pelf, you kinda expect to lose that one. The way it went down was awful, but that’s baseball.
Wright and Beltran screwed the pooch in the 7th (8th?), but I love them unconditionally so I’m over it. Something tells me the MetsPostblogFAN won’t let it go though.
it is time to trade them . . .
it is harsh but i think this team can’t suffer Wright and Beltran anymore . . . they are doing more harm than good for this team when the chips are down . . . i guess Wright didn’t know that Werth would catch that ball but he should have . . . and that ball in the seventh inning oy . . . i just don’t know . . . i think i just heard my microwave . . . burrito is done . . . mmm old el paso . . .
