PrintNew York Mets at Colorado Rockies, Apr 14, 2010 8:40 PM EDT
Some questions for tonight's game:
- Can young, cheap and good pitcher Jon Niese give us something to be optimistic about?
- Over/under on leverage index when Jenrry Mejia enters: 0.30
- How many cans of Copenhagen will Mike Jacobs chomp through?
- Can Jeff Francoeur extend his seven game hitting streak?
- If Jose Reyes leads off the game with a single, will Luis Castillo bunt?
- Will Gary, Keith
and Rontake more live phone calls?

At least

what’s the over/under on Bay seeing anything worth hitting?

Over/Under 1.333333...
And that’s putting it nicely, though Jacobs has the added advantage of a “Thin Air Powerup” if he hits anything

True
But they never went out and bought three or four big money players in one transfer window like Chelsea or Real Madrid do habitually – there’s always been a good number of home-grown players.
like the good old boys
Scholes, Giggs, Neville (How the hell is he still starting, and still getting mention in the press for England?)
but you have spent lots of money on Rooney, Berbatov, Carrick, Ferdinand to name a few

Neville
is a joke now, he can hardly move. He shouldn’t be keeping Rafael out of the team. Scholes is finished too. Giggs maybe has a season left as a squad player but his final ball is terrible.
Yeah, they're all fairly useless
I mean it’s a bit of an indictment of Man United’s squad when Park was brought on when you needed to score v Blackburn

I agree I don't want anything to do with him

don't know for sure
but since has hasn’t looked that bad at the plate, I suspect BABIP is unusually low
lol I just looked it up
.389 according to fan graphs he’s hitting a crapton of grounders so far and few fly balls. I’m going to assume we broke him, cause we break everyone, except frenchy apparently.
in billionaire russian playboys we trust.
Jason Bay baBIP
2009 – 0.315
2010 – 0.389
Career – 0.327
Of course, bay has struck out entirely too much thus far, so don’t blame the baBIP for his troubles

He does see a lot of pitches and he does get on base relatively well.

it's the expectations/results thing though
the Giants after 5 games looked like a Super Bowl contender, and they had an ’07 Mets level collapse. Actually it was more like ’08, since it can almost entirely be blamed on a single unit: safeties/bullpen
The Islanders I was expecting to suck, and they stayed in the playoff race for way longer than I expected, and showed some definite growth by their young players. For the first time in my entire life I actually feel positive about the direction the Islanders are taking – they have good young talent and are patiently letting them develop. What a novel idea…

hasn’t been great certainly but has’t beeen totally awful. Kept the team in the game at Coors and has been the victum of some tight calls at the plate I think.

Wait wait wait
Let me get this down: Tatis and Cora available.
You bring in Cora as the pinch HITTER, and you bring in Tatis as the pinch RUNNER?

I checked something
Their speed rating (2009)
Cora 4.8
Tatis 5.1
It’s near undiscernable

down by 7 runs, it's funny.
In extra innings, it should be a fucking firing offense.
It'll be interesting what he says about it after the game.

Well if he says it was the lefty-righty matchup, Gary just said Cora was actually better against lefties last season. So that’s out.

hahahaha why is cora hitting and not tatis
he doesn't need to defend it
when there’s apparently no one ever held accountable for any of their actions/decisions
in billionaire russian playboys we trust.
that about covers it

One thing, though
Tatis replaces him at 1B as a superior defender

No..
Tatis the hitter can still replace Jacobs.

Yeah, it was a fairly solid liner.
If that had been hit up the middle instead of at the 2B, he’d be a hero right now.

I just let out a string of explitives not to be rivaled

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
for me it was more of a heart-weary groan
but same difference.
That was a weak liner
which was about as hard a ball as Alex will ever hit.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Apr 15, 2010 12:11 AM EDT reply actions
hit it hard
but to the wrong place. Still another blunder by Jerry
I'm going to bed
We either lose it here or keep playing. Either way, I don’t want to see it any more. Night guys.
At least we're still in the game
Let’s get ’em out in the bottom 10th and we have the top of the line-up top 11.

This team really isn't as bad as 2-6, honestly

With many other coaches in sports
we always complain in hindsight, and are reminded that hindsight is 20/20, and anyone can second-guess.
Jerry gives us the privilege of always questioning his moves in advance, and always being right. Well Jerry, FORESIGHT is 20/15.

Here's where I disagree:
If Mejia is on the big league club, he should be there because Jerry has confidence in him. He should not be there for mop-up duty.
Of course, obviously, the decision to have him there is wrong in the first place, but not because of the home run.
by EricAColucci on Apr 15, 2010 12:25 AM EDT up reply actions
Do we think he's being pushed pretty hard on the Mejia thing
so he thought having him come through in a big spot would keep him up here?
It's true.
Especially since he put Tatis in 4 pitches into the at-bat.

The thing is, do you think that the Wilpons
