I need to doublecheck the guys at the post more carefully I guess.

Question
Who has the better pitcher tonight? Redding or Martis?
"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-
swag contest
for all the bitching we do about how terrible the team is, look how low the scores have been this month. We have so much faith in the mets winning…although they were playing the Pirates. and should have won.
When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."
i know it's the nats
but this might be hard to win.martis has 5 of the nats 14 wins and redding is our only pitcher not on the dl with a era over 9.00

I really want to type something cheery about how the pitching staff might hold the Mets heads above water for a little while
But I can’t in good conscience do that if Tim Redding’s name is going to appear on the Mets side of the box score. Alas, maybe tomorrow.
Lets go bats pitching something completely unpredictable happening!

Yeah
But I mean, it’s not like Martis has been any good. He’s given up at least 5 ER in each of his last 3 starts.
Really, Jerry?
Yeah that's true
I’m just being neurotic because of the brewing tension surrounding the team. This could be a slugfest that goes either way. Problem might be that the Nats actually have a few guys who can slug beyond Dunn and Zimmerman.

I still think F!'s readier than his statline looks
His OPS isn’t anything pretty right now, but he hasn’t looked overmatched at all. He’s only struck out three times in his first 30 PA, so he’s getting the bat on the ball. Its just a matter of squaring it up a bit better. He’s actually done an excellent job of tempering his approach and not getting overaggressive as many youngsters tend to. He’s not expanding his zone much (23% O-Swing, and even just 63.5% Z-Swing), and he actually probably needs to get a bit more aggressive, which is not what I anticipated at all.

i'm still not convinced though
that he’s past the jose reyes circa 06 type of patience though, which is look at the first two pitches for strikes and then have to work out of that hole. However, Reyes dealt with that by swinging at a breaking ball in the dirt, so F! is already better.
When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."
Absolutely
I don’t take this as any kind of longterm indication, but its just kind of odd in the context of a young player making his big league debut, especially one known for his aggressiveness already. You’d expect the complete opposite in his first week. He doesn’t have the two strike discipline to take that many pitches in the zone. At the very least, it indicates an interesting thought process for such a youngster.

But he is putting the bat on the ball
Which is going to be his biggest challenge in my eyes. I don’t expect a .350 OBP, but I’d love to see a solid ISO and at least a decent average. If he manages not to punchout like this, I bet he’ll get there.

you mean this year
because i’m pretty sure, based off what I’ve seen, that seasons like .330/.450/.550 are totally within reach in his prime. 50 doubles, 20-25 homers, plenty of walks.
When asked why I was a Mets fan, I responded, "pain is my lifeblood."
Yeah that's this year
I dunno about the .450 OBP, I think .310 / .380 / .600 is a more reasonable absolute ceiling. Ridiculous power but fewer walks.

So?
The play was in front of him. He made a bad decision. No doubt trying to do too much considering my adult league team could post a W agaisnt this lineup.
he nearly HR
it hit the top of the high wall and he was thrown out trying for third with 2 out. Horrendous Baserunning
It was close
But it hit the base of the wall. Its a deep gap, lol.

we’re facing a bad team with a mediocre pitcher and have gotten lucky breaks

Because we have no lineup
Sheff makes a much bigger difference than people want to give him credit for.
Tatis isn’t hitting, Schnieder isn’t hitting, Murph isn’t really hitting, pitchers don’t hit.

this means that when it's a tie game in the 9th
he’ll look down his bench and see that his only options are oil spill and fat livan.
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
this bullpen
is just like every RP that’s ever been successful anywhere.
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
this was wright's fault
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.

David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
some guy they pulled off the street
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
It looks like strokes

David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
"Thank god we didn't play a fourth game in Pittsburgh, we'd probably have lost that, too! Ha ha!"
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Why does Green's jersey
say “Stokes” on it?

David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.

David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
oh thank god we're taking that socks guy out
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
because i don't think it's legal to play people you don't actually have on the team
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
beimel
looks like the caveman from the geico commercials
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
Hey Beimal, meet you at Union Pool later? Number 97? Wow, how weird! You're so unique!
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
when you say you've seen him steal third base
you mean you’ve seen him get thrown out at third base
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.

don’t try to hit one out F! just drive in a run or two

My dog just barked at Beimel
I’m pretty sure he thinks Beimel’s also a canine.

its odd to be indifferent to your team. I feel the same way.

Its hard to say this is "our" team, when you only know a few of them
I just realized this Socks guy today
Why not
Its been such a great well played classic so far, why not play extra??
they already used him
duh
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
Tons of sarcasm there. He is my least favorite proffessional athlete probably
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Its reasonable to believe a Mariner's fan would still like Putz.
I just hate how he threw Ichiro under the bus. Fanboy Mariner fans don’t like Ichiro.
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
but he's so quick!

Recap from tonight's MASN feed:
“[Any National] is the best thing since sliced bread.” – Rob Dibble
“May I fondle you, Rob?” – Bob Carpenter
The no's were for Dibble, who eats A LOT of baked ziti, amirite?
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.
Yeah, he does
It was just a general apology. I underestimated how embiggened it would be.
Really, Jerry?
dibble looks like as much a douche as he sounds
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
I'm going to boo Dukes next time the Mets play Washington just because I think he's stupid
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.

David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
The Mets announcers have both been really impressed with that 0 WAR Reed has put up this year.
I hope you die. I hope we BOTH die.

i don't know why or how this comment ended up here.

Rob Dibble
“I had Jeremy Reed as my pick of ROY when he came up”
Really? Where did MASN get this guy?
Reed was a pretty bigtime prospect
A mirage, maybe, but he was hyped.
the career K/9 leader?
the same place they got their bullpen.
