Murph
getting as good as Delgado was on getting those throws coming from Wright.
Sigh….
by MetsFan4Decades on Jul 12, 2009 1:37 PM EDT reply actions
what happens to murph when delgado gets back?
i assume late inning defensie replacement and occasional start
"Put it in the books. The Mets are the 2006 National League Eastern Divison champions"--Howie Rose
since murph went 2-4, he's gone o fer
Have to bench him. Jerry, you gotta bench him. Play Tatis instead. Or, you have murph bunt.
I’m sure he;ll do that

You down with OBP?
No, not French-ie!
2 at bats, 4 pitches.

At least it was a halfway decent at-bat...

When did we learn how to score runs like this?
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
when
Omar made roster moves (Pagan up, Evans down, Frenchy for Church) that finally made Jerry to play the same (correct) lineup twice in a row.
Where has this been?
Keep the same damn lineup after the break and see if we can save this godforsaken season. It finally appears to be working.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
And get rid of Livan
so that our pitcher’s can keep us in games
by Jadden Hopkins on Jul 12, 2009 2:14 PM EDT up reply actions
Yup
Cut Redding, move Livan to the pen (his rubber arm would be nice there for some cleanup work) and put Niese in the rotation.
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
we should be next until next week
unless the braves have a LHP that i am not thinking about

Phillies are crushing the Pirates
Can’t catch a break
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
It's too early to worry about Philly games
The Mets just need to win their own. They have enough games against Philly that they can make up the difference.

Still think we need one more move before we can realisticly think about catching Philly.
I’d like to see about grabbing Johnson out of Washington. This would allow Manuel to platoon Murph at third and give Wright a day off in the second half when he needs it.
I still want Rios, but I doubt it happens with the Francoeur trade.
I really think Delgado will be back soon enough that Omar has to look for an upgrade to the OF.

He’s been looking good

frenchy
nice job, that swing looked prety good
yes...
and the Reds are actually ahead of the Mets in the standings… This is what keeps me still optimistic. Most teams in NL are simply bad.
FOur game set with Atlanta after the AS break
That could get scary.

i heard Ollie is going to start the 1st game
I hope Niese starts the 2nd

They said...
It will be Ollie first and Johan, Nieve and Livan for that 4 game series. Said they are giving Livan one more start.
by MetsFan4Decades on Jul 12, 2009 2:48 PM EDT up reply actions
I probably missed the Livan announcement...
is it sure thing?
That's
what Gary Cohen said earlier.
by MetsFan4Decades on Jul 12, 2009 2:52 PM EDT up reply actions
thanks...
I turned on the game later. So is it set that Livan gets start against the Braves, or is there a possibility that he gets pushed later against the Nationals – against which he’s been great so far. I mean, the Mets have potentially 6-7 starters they can use for the Braves/Nationals series after AS. They can pretty much tailor the rotation against opponents.
7 run lead
throw fucking strikes.
Omar and Jerry, dumbest tandem in baseball and winning in spite of them.
Wright didn't look like he was giving a pep talk there
Looks like he gave Pelf an earfull.
he better
this is the most runs we have scored in over a week
by Jadden Hopkins on Jul 12, 2009 2:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Touble here
Pelf needs to K this next batter.
I really think Big Pelf starts to lose concentration around the middle part of the game
This is a reoccurring thing

That balk three his game off
Kiner mentioned the guy umping the game calls more balks than anyone in the game.

That first pitch looked down the pipe
Dont let him go back out.
Now we need more runs.

3 of the next 4 are RH

Wus up with the Mets constantly chasing pitches out of the Strike Zone?

This is gettin ugly now
Just need six outs.
That’s it.
Nice Job, Green. We get two homeruns to put this game out of reach and you promptly give one right back...
Are you on Cincinnati’s payroll or something?
Ugh
3-0. Come on, North Korea…

Didn't exactly get a good hop off that ball
Tht kinda delayed the throw. Ball was inside on him coming up from below.
alright, whatever
frankie can hold a 2 run lead. we need an out here.
3 run lead.
And Frankie should get this done.

Uh, wasn't his fault
He gave up 1 hit. He did an excellent job.

And that one hit, IMO, Castillo could have had if he wasn't hurt.

Was he really hitting 99? Pitch f/x gave him credit for it a few times.
he was throwing hard
but the 99’ers weren’t very accurate. low or inside

It wasn't set in stone
Look at the some of the games the Red Sox (a very good team) have played lately. I’m grateful to still have the lead.
"I have discovered in twenty years of moving around a ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually inverse in proportion to the price of the seats." - Bill Veeck
Frenchy swings at Ball 2
Same pitch Castillo swung at.
That seems to be their specialty
in the late innings. “We’ve already scored nine! Why would we want to score more?”
"I have discovered in twenty years of moving around a ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually inverse in proportion to the price of the seats." - Bill Veeck
Their other specialty
is lead off walks. Ugh!
Goddamit, Frankie
Another leadoff walk?
"I have discovered in twenty years of moving around a ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually inverse in proportion to the price of the seats." - Bill Veeck
I get the feeling that he likes havin a guy at first
Wierd but I woder if he likes the possibilty of a DP ball and a play at two bases. Just in case he gets into trouble late in a count.
7-0 in the fifth, 9-3 in the eighth
Tying run at the plate in the 9th.
Why am I not surprised?
After Tatis's homer
Fangraphs had us at 99.2 chance to win
Well, now we're one out away
So it’s very high. But I would’ve liked to know what it was when they had scored a couple of runs and had bases loaded, 0 out in the 8th.
"I have discovered in twenty years of moving around a ball park, that the knowledge of the game is usually inverse in proportion to the price of the seats." - Bill Veeck

Phew
OK. We’ve played pretty well the last couple of days, and now the All-Star break is finally here.
