Darn
wanted to see MURPH in the lineup. Ah well. At least F! gets in the batting order vs. the lefty. Want him a bit higher in the order though.

Fucking Jerry said he'd give F! and Murph 1 game out of the 3.....WTF man lol.
Can we just kill this bastard seriously he’s so far past incompetent. I don’t understand Jerry’s logic to giving Tatis more time at first than Murph. Not like he’s been solid at the plate this series.

I think..
Jerry is obsessed with this power thing now, and believes Tatis has more than Murph.

So Tatis can hit a grand slam every 20 years good for him lol. Murph has more HR's and RBI's thus far and has solid potential. He just needs the consistancy of playing games

Either give the guy a shot or send him back down so he can see a bats and get experience every game. Jerry is rotting his potential and confidence away by implementing this ludicrous method of playing time.

Do you actually think Murphy's a better matchup against Moyer than Tatis?
I would be upset about this if it were F! sitting and Murphy was in, but this is the one that I can deal with. The kid is 20 years old and probably isn’t that far behind Murphy in terms of ability. He’s getting better, and could be special. Murphy had perceived grit and a “blue collar style” and a great 150 big league PAs. This after a minor league season that was something between very good and tweeneresque (for a corner guy). I don’t think Murphy’s as bad as he’s been this year, but I also don’t think he’s THAT far from his ceiling still. Extra minor league seasoning isn’t going to be as important for him if he’s not getting starts. He’s also not a particularly great option for first base on a contending team, but he’s better than anyone else aside from Tatis, who is probably about equal.

Murphy as a super bench player with a .750-.800 OPS
Would be awfully valuable to this franchise going forward.
by All Shook Down on Jun 11, 2009 7:03 PM EDT up reply actions
This I agree with
And while that might not mean he should be in the minors to get PAs, it might mean that he should be there to learn a few more positions. Trying him at 2B at the big league level is a difficult gamble to make, but if he can do it in the minors for a little while, also get in the batters box everyday, that might be wise. Plus, Buffalo’s so crappy, Murphy could probably be an upgrade for them at every position, so there’s no worry about blocking someone else positionally.

If Tatis ever connects on one of those fastballs down the middle
that he frequently gets, maybe he could show off some of that power
I also think
If the Mets had won last night, Jerry would have felt more comfortable giving Murph a shot. Especially if Murphy didn’t have that big strikeout. Given the situation, he felt he had the choice between starting F! or Murph, and if that’s the decision you give yourself, its not a hard one to make. I don’t entirely agree, but I can stomach it.

damn it
why is omir “i swing at the 1st pitch even if it is in the dirt” santos still in the line up
by JADDENHOPKINS on Jun 11, 2009 6:15 PM EDT reply actions
Right lefty matchup is more important than actual talent.
at least in jerry’s mind
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Omir makes me appreciate Schneider even more
Because he is terrible behind the plate.
One of these days he is just going to stop hitting period.
He's been pretty lousy at catching too
Or so it seems. There’s very little to go on besides observation.
Also, I want to gag when the announcers say that the pitching staff “loves how he receives the ball”. That’s the catching equivalent of “she’s very good at walking” and “you are very human”.
by All Shook Down on Jun 11, 2009 6:43 PM EDT up reply actions
By the way
I would love to see Murphy at 2B this season. Can he possibly be worse than the f’n black hole that’s stationed there currently?
Hey now
Castillo has been solid defensively and his bat has been better than expected.

Btw
Only Schumacher, Burriss, Uggla and Callaspo have been worse — two are new to the position and the other two have long been considered butchers.
by All Shook Down on Jun 11, 2009 6:37 PM EDT up reply actions
Castillo is at replacement level this year
If Murph can play even credible D at 2nd, he’s better than Castillo.

If Redding has a bad outing tonight...
They could weigh their options right?
Cutting him loose at this point wouldn’t be the worst thing
But we can't afford for him to have one.
"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
Yeah I know that.
They are going to have to make a decision sooner rather than later.
Moyer could have a terrible outing tonight as well.
I hope Redding pitches as well as he did last week. He definitely earned himself a spot for now. I don’t totally dislike him per se, but if they have better options, use them.
Problem is
What are your better options? The answer is probably Jon Niese. But his results have been pretty poor and the organization isn’t going to go for it unless he strings a couple of “good starts” together. Still, a .385 BABIP in 206 BF is pretty absurd, and indicates just how little support Buffalo has given him. He’s doing everything you want him to do though.
But that’s about it in terms of other options. What’s the latest on Ollie? I feel like news on him has been quiet.

Holt and Mejia?
They can’t be worse, right? Underdeveloped sure, but not worse.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
That'd be irresponsible of the Mets to call them up this soon.
Niese, Brandon Knight and Redding are your options.
by All Shook Down on Jun 11, 2009 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions
Never going to happen
They were monitoring Holt’s innings very closely to begin with. The only way he sees big league time at all this year is in the pen. Then again, I said no way Mejia belongs in Double-A.

I meant it jokingly.
But Holt could be here next year he continues to play this well and continues to develop his secondary pitches. Mejia is at least two years away, unless he just dominates this year and early next.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Lol fair enough
The promotion definitely makes their arrivals feel sooner. They’ll both probably be in big league camp next year, so we have that to look forward to.

But would using Niese on the big club for an extended period of time
Be a problem? He has proven somewhat that he can be a cost effective option in the majors for a bit. Who knows, maybe he strings good starts together and gets some better D behind him…
Like I said, I’m not totally opposed to Redding…but the Mets are in a pretty interesting situation when Ollie comes back.
I don't disagree with you
But I have a feeling the organization does. I was hoping Niese was coming back up after the west coast road trip.

Niese
At this point, I don’t think it hurts to let him pitch. Obviously the organization doesn’t see it that way…like you said.
He could be very valuable late in the summer though.
It hurts them
In that it means admitting they made a poor $2.5 million investment in Redding. The worst part of all this is, if the Mets do callup Niese, I could completely see a scenario where the result was Stokes getting DFA’d. Redding to pen and some peculiar need to keep the second lefty who’s been ineffective against lefties.

Jenrry Mejia's second AA start today:
4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K’S
He was mostly hurt by errors behind him (Duda and Tejada) that made him work more.
His numbers in the two starts combined:
11 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 1 HR, 5 BB, 9 K’S, .231 BAA
And remember, this kid is 19 years old. Impressive.

yes,
but those probabilities do not take into account who’s batting. Consequently, for some hitters, the bunt can increase the probability of winning.

I'd actually prefer Wright hitting second
but since that would mean he would be asked to bunt constantly it doesn’t work. But yes, Wright should def be hitting in front of Sheffield.

I honestly wasn't trying to be
I’m trying to remind you not to get caught up in the moment and go look at a large sample size.
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
you're missing the point, though
we’re not really criticizing Santos for making outs, we’re criticizing A) the Mets’ front office for making the bad decision to keep him based on a small sample size during a hot streak rather than the much larger sample size that suggested a regression to a lower level, and B) broadcasters who bought into the hype.
as has been said multiple times, we hope Santos is the very best he can be for the Mets, but because we know that’s unlikely to be very good, we think the front office should be mocked.
It's an empty .270
His OBP is sub-.300 making him a pretty easy out.

We have different ideas of "contributing" I guess
He’s basically a RH version of Brian Schneider. 270 singles hitter w/o much power or walks. And Schneider walks a bit more often. He’s barely above replacement so I can’t see how he can be called a contributor. Although I understand your point that this board is particularly hard on him.
its just silly
he’s playing pretty well for who he is. plus it is hard to ignore the FACT that Castro never makes it through more than July. Never (except 2005).

Even so, why wouldn’t it make sense to keep Hippo unless and until he gets injured, and then use Santos, who is not as good at baseball?

But Santos has already shown signs of regression.

Castro still should have been kept and Santos in the minors.
That way “when” castro is injured Santos is still there as a replacement

then you’d have exactly the situation you have now!!
thus you’re criticizing the mets for deciding that 2 months more of Blastro wasn’t worth riding a younger, cheaper, most-likely-to-be-healthy, similar BACKUP catcher while he was hot. That doesn’t sound like such a crazy decision anymore.

No your statement is illogical.
I’m saying keep Castro, a better player, and Santos and Schnieder. IF Castro gets injured then play Santos (who isn’t the worst third option ever), and if Castro is healthy you have him all year.
Castro is better, plain and simple, and to trade him for nothing is absolutely ridiculous.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
O and even when Santos was "hot" he was still not as good as Castro, the numbers say so.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
That's kind of the point though
We’ve seen his best. It’s not going to get better, it’s going to get worse as he regresses to what he really is. Maybe we shouldn’t kill him for being who he is but he doesn’t really belong on this team, not over Castro or Valentin for sure. And it’s aggravated by the fact that mgmt seems to love him and has given him ~60% of the starts since his callup.
plenty of players play better too

When I’m not mad at the Phillies and am being objective, I really like him (and by that I mean hate him less than others). He just is awesome. Solid defense, great OBP, great slugger.
Alright, enough fawning.

I traded Jose Reyes for Chase Utley heads up in a standary 5×5 fantasy league just under a month ago. Felt like shit but knew it was the right move. And obviously it has worked out quite well.

Right at the end of Gary's home run call
Keith made a little “oh no” groan in the background. I had to rewind the tivo and crank the volume to hear it.

I really think
even the NY Post dudes will figure out takhashi sux against lefties. I think Jerry will be gone soon. Problem is Omar will say injuries are hurting us not jerry
Nah
my prediction is that the NY Post dudes will note that it was Ibanez who hit the home run, and the Mets totally could have had him and look at it all now.

I should note here that
Omir Santos anagrams as ‘Into Morass’. Sounds about right.
"parnell will have losses on back to back nights"
give ’em both to jerry
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
the phils picked up ibanez and chan ho
and that’s enough to beat the mets. Cause Omar knew he didn’t need to get anyone for the lineup, he had Delgado.

As someone who loves baseball
It also kills me to know we are being horribly, horribly managed and run as a whole, and the Phillies aren’t.
I can’t even throw it up to luck or some other bullshit. The Phillies are just run better.
I mean, look who is leading off for us right now.
I’m in a serious state of depression.

So when is it okay to question Ibanez?
37 years old, 14 year career, HR high 33, 2nd highest total 24. He’s going to have the second highest HR toal of his career at 37 by next week. He’s going to have the highest total of his career by the all-star break. He’s going to double his previous 14 year career high. But don’t question him.
Yup
Look at Sosa. No record of every taking steroids. Nothing. Ever.
Let’s see if he makes the hall.
Jerry Manuel...stop being....stupid...
And any other number of guys
But apparently speculation and presumption of guilt is acceptable in those cases.
Hey I never said
he was doing anything wrong. But who doubles their 14 yr career HR total at 37? He should sell a workout tape or something.
I think our commentary was more along the lines of
why is it acceptable to accuse some guys and not others? The backlash against this blogger has been swift but I don’t hear anyone decrying the rampant mainstream media speculation we’ve read over the last five years.
You answered your own question
The MSM didn’t do it so it’s wrong. If they did then, hey, they’re doing it in the public interest.
SHHHHHH

Where is the outrage?
There was a mob calling for Willie’s head two years ago. We have improved zero, and no noise. Manuel sucks. We need a real manager.
Outrage against the manager?
Plenty of it here. Unless maybe you were referring to the mainstream sports media?

Sure there is outrage here.
But you never hear anyone in the booth questioning him. Or anywhere else for that matter. When it was Willie, there was a Willie watcher every game.
by lstorie1971 on Jun 11, 2009 10:42 PM EDT up reply actions
It's just the news cycle
Willie wore out his welcome over time. Jerry will do the same. Let’s not pretend it’s about merit in this organization.
Wille was run out of town
because he pissed of the writers. The writers love Jerry. It happened to Bobby V too. He was smarter thna them and liked to remind them of it and they didn’t like that.
It was happening to Coughlin too but he won the SB so he is safe for now.
I love how manuel just used the "we don't have enough" line.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
Yeah
he took a couple of digs at Omar didn’t he?
Maine on the DL
Woo hoo! 2/5 of the rotation on the DL. Geez, if it wasn’t for bad luck…

Just accounced on SNY
Omar coming up to talk about it.
If half the minor league sysytem wasn’t also hurt they could bring up Holt.
Unless Delgado and Reyes are coming back SOON ...
Omar must make a move or two. We cannot compete without our “spark plug” and our “thumper.”

We have been competing just fine.
We just need a manager that knows how to use his damn bullpen.
