I hope
The Verizon Fios guy John Maine has a good outing tonight
"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"
Jerry may be feeling the heat more than we thought
This lineup is almost acceptable. Drop Cora and it would be close to decent
i dunno, they promised us Wright third

2B must bat second at all costs
It would be nice to see the guys who have little to no extra base hit ability bat at the bottom of the order for a change.
different enough for Jerry
Maybe he figures he should leave Bob Melvin with something easy to do as a welcoming gift.
well
I think Jerry is more like General Custer.
That would make Davey Johnson General Hooker then, correct?
Get’s the job done and lets his guys party all they want.

Who else is confident,
that by game’s end, Atilano will have more strikeouts than walks on the season?
I believe that's a given
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ
The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?
Well, he has three Ks automatically from DW, and probably another two from Frenchy
So if he keeps the walks under three, he’s there
by The Frito Pundito on May 20, 2010 6:57 PM EDT up reply actions
By the second inning
that will be accomplished
Um, because Wright is a much, much, much better hitter than Barajas????

Not this year buddy...
I guess you and Jerry think the same. Let me ask you this, how many HR’s and clutch hits does Barajas need before he can be put in the middle of the order? Or how many times does DW have to K and choke in the clutch for him to get dropped down??
Here are some stats:
Wrights’s OBP: .382
Barajas’s OBP: .303

Here we go
another night of Wright debates. Wright should absolutely be either the #2, #3 or #4 hitter considering his on base percentage numbers, and the lack of other options. He should hit nowhere else but one of those 3 spots imo.
rod barajas has a .303 on base percentage, david wright .382
I’d rather the guy that gets on base almost 10% more often

Why cant there be an argument
I want the Mets to win just as much as everyone but lets face it, it isn;t happening without clutch hitting and right now, Wright just isn’t doing it. I hope he hits 3 HR’s tonight but to this point it isn’t happening and Bay hasn’t either nor Reyes. All I’m saying is let’s move the guy who has been clutch BARAJAS up in the order, at least to 5th.

Clutch is not a repeatable skill
Find me one player who for their career has been significantly better in clutch spots than in neutral spots.
by Evan_S on May 20, 2010 7:13 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
Small sample size
It’s still quite early in the season. Wright is a far better hitter in his career than Barajas is, and it is quite likely that Barajas will falter as the season wears on, based on his career record (a far larger sample). Likewise, Wright will probably hit better in those situations as the season wears on.
As I write this, Wright hits a 3-run double. That’s a small sample, too, but it’s nice to see. :)
I'm glad he came up big finally
thope he does this more often then I wouldn’t even be bringing this Barajas stuff up
Wright is no argument the best player
But sadly, Barajas has been the 2nd best Mets hitter this year, so maybe there’s a point.
Now does anyone see why he's slumping?

Ha, get ready for the tired "give him more days off"

DW came through
now let’s get Angel on base and see if Hot Rod can show us some RISP production too
yeah, Howie, I'm sure "maturity" is the most important thing about Pagan's performance
It couldn’t possibly be that a regular starting job has allowed him to show what a decent player he always was.
Yeah all he did was motivate and anger the Nats with that 2b
that’s a bad job by him.
A first inning lead
remember way back when they used to do that all the time?
i think in '06 they scored in the first inning in like 8 or 9 games in a row.
august i think, i remember asking my girlfriend to date me shortly after they flashed the graphic on the screen

Hey where did crazyremy go after that Wright double?
That’s weird.
this is what's so silly about game threads
Whatever happens in a single PA shouldn’t affect anyone’s arguments or opinions about a player. But you get this stuff in the game threads where people are changing their ideas in reaction to what happens on the field.
Be careful what you wish for
We’d probably lose 4-3
How many is the Maine gonna give back here?
i’m thinking 9

John Maine vs Jerry Manuel

i still think you can stash him in the pen and he’d be a pretty good arm. he’s shot as a starter though.

There's no reason
to bash a guy because he’s hurt. He’s trying to help the team as best he can, but their Manuel defense is poor at best IMO.
There may be sunny days ahead.
I think he's angry at Maine complaining about being taken out
There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

because it was probably and issue during the warmup and he didn't tell him ?.

if maine was hurting before, didn't say anything and tried to pitch through it

maybe John said something when they took him out....
you know….
" I felt (insert ailment ) during the warmup, but thought I could pitch thru it ".
you know what I'm sayin' ?
I'm pretty sure that's not why Jerry is mad
When did Maine hurt himself? Probably didn’t feel right warming up and tried to go out there anyway. Then after 1 batter called for the trainer. I’d be pissed too. Maybe it’s his “non pitching arm” feeling numb again, who knows. Maine offers absolutely no consistency or stability, and if I was Jerry I’d be pissed too.
this is one of those very rare times,
where jerry might be right
by KeithsMoustache on May 20, 2010 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Let's be honest though
Had he complained about being hurt in warmups, Jerry would probably be pissed too. He called out Church for not fully healing after getting two concussions and then flew in a plane.
Let's all remember the Frank Thomas debacle.
It’s the seminal Jerry-gets-mad-at-injuries story.

wow.
All those offseason calls for Omar to get some/any starting-pitching depth are looking pretty prescient now, huh?
Can Dickey pitch again?
ha ha, we have no pitchers!!! We really should have signed Felipe Lopez.
well,
we have Ollie stretched out… I heard the guy can pitch deep.
sorry, sarcasm
anyway, 4 innings today would be probably enough. (Assuming Valdes goes 3.)

The Mets are going to need more arms for the weekend after this. It makes sense for the Mets to DL Maine regardless and bring up a reliever, at least for a few days, and then figure out Maine’s next start next week.
What is Tobi Stoner up to these days?

Now I'm not a major league baseball GM
In fact, according to Steve Phillips, I’m not even close to being qualified. So this is just my most humble opinion, and again, for emphasis, I’m not smart enough to be a major league GM. Now, I think it would be beneficial, in situations like this where one pitcher is injured (Niese), another just got injured (Maine), and a third just being terrible (Ollie), to have your top starting pitching prospect starting games in the minors rather than pitching mop up innings in the majors so he could fill in or something. But again, I’m no GM.
You can't have the engineers talk to to the clients!
I’m a people person!

didn’t “just injure” himself. he’s a walking injury and a shell of a pitcher. your point stands, just sayin’.

so, thinking ahead...
we’ll see Nieve (because it is the law), Pedro F (for a matchup), Jennry (when a righty comes to bat in the highest leverage situation possible), and K-Rod will warm up a few times and not pitch (because it wont be a save situation)
sound right?
I'd throw in an Ollie appearance
because we really think he’s going to figure himself out down in the pen
Raul Valdez: 2.31tRA (seriously!)

In my mind, I keep feeling like Valdes sucks
but every time I see him pitch, I feel like I’m being proved wrong.
don't worry, he'll regress to the mean soon
I absolutely do not believe he’s as good as the current level he’s performing at.
But what is his true talent level? There is not enough SS to stabilize any stat. I looked up his pitch fx too but 20innings is not enough either.
In lobby campaign for Chris Carter.
yeah, nobody knows for sure at this point
But I’d put money on it not being this good.
He doesn't have to be keep this pace to be good/valuable to the team.
In lobby campaign for Chris Carter.
I agree completely
I think he’s a great arm to have in the bullpen. I’m just saying I don’t expect him to continue performing this well.
In all seriousness did anyone here doubt that we'd be looking at a
rotation comparable to Johan, Pelf, Dickey, Valdes, Ishigari at some point this season? I wish it surprised me. I’m surprised only that Pelf/Johan haven’t been hit by a meteor yet.

Really?
A bases loaded walk angers you? When future generations unearth the Epic of Manuel, they will spend years figuring out the religious and social significance of the “bases loaded walk.”

Cut him some slack
BB was probably called for by Jerry, who couldn’t understand why they weren’t striking out trying to bunt the runners over.
im exhausted, literally
watching the mets is literally tolling my body physically
Now, when i hear a man gets 20 million dollars a year for playing a game, I say "good for him".
I empathize...
They’re exhausting my body.
Given that I'm losing my mind, I suggest that you reassess developing any sort of relationship with me.

MSN promotionals are hilarious, comparing nats to their opponents "which will own it?"
MSN slightly over selling the Nationals vs Pirates match up, methinks.

This Yankee series actually has the potential to be pretty damn good if the Mets offense decides to stop in
Taka vs Javy
Pelf vs Hughes (Young talent v Young talent)
CC v Santana (Two of the best pitchers in the game)
when you look deeper though the matchups aren't so great
Mets vs anybody

you could combine the money they're making

Since this is Jerry's Mets...
Why not start the game with the bullpen, let them pitch their 3, and then bring the starter in. This makes total sense to me in context, except that BBRod would not get the save opportunity.
