Hooray for Ar-Zep

 

[Windu]

I love Fox's decision on where to air each game. I'm in AR and they decide to air the Oakland/LA game. Thanks Fox, I really wanted to watch those two teams play..instead of you know the Braves..which are in the South.

 

[Doytch]

Good to see Zep get the win. He battled back after a shaky first couple innings, which I wasn't really expecting.

 

[jman2050]

Today I love Yankee Stadium. I'll probably hate it tomorrow when Inge hits a 320 foot cheapie to right.

 

[clemenx]

:lol :lol :lol Francoeur fucking sucks, i can't believe they walked Wright intentionally on the 1st inning.

 

[Wickerman]

Yeah, he probably would have stuck out

 

[The Frankman]

Amazing graphic. Beltran-Delgado-Reyes-Wright only missed 8 games combined last year. I think they're already missed 100 this year.

:lol :lol :lol Francoeur fucking sucks, i can't believe they walked Wright intentionally on the 1st inning.

With Sheff out Wright is the only threat in the lineup. I was surprised they didn't walk Wright off the bat.

 

[jman2050]

The fact that Francoeur is batting 5th for this team tells you all you need to know about the Mets right now.

 

[clemenx]

Johan hasn't looked bad, 1-0 loss confirmed.

 

[The Frankman]

Johan hasn't looked bad, 1-0 loss confirmed.

Why do you say this? Is it the fact that in his last 6 starts Mets have scored 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, and 1 run?

EDIT: WTF come on Prado now? Jesus Christ.

That shit usually happens to everyone's top starter. It's because he has to face off against the other team's top starter, usually.

Sometimes, though, it's just bad luck. Harang had that shit happen to him for that season he was good.

 

[LJ11]

Prado is just hanging over the plate. Brush him the fuck back in his next at bat, tired of seeing him hang over it

 

[Y2Kev]

i bet cajole that wright would hit 9 hr this half

 

[The Frankman]

Well I can tell two adjustments that need to be made with Jeff:

1) For a guy who stands straight up his swing is extremely long. Kawakawi only throws 92 and Jeff is behind everything.
2) He has the same problem Tatis has this year: Needs to stop wrapping the bat around his neck.

You should give scouting tips to my little brother, surely he'll hit better than Francoeur with your wisdom.

 

[LJ11]

Wright was smoked with a 92mph fastball, send him some tips Frank.

Francoeur's problem is that he chose baseball instead of football. That throw in the first was pretty ace.

If these adjustments were any good, all batting instructors would know them.

 

[Wickerman]

FOX broadcasts are so much more tolerable with Thom Brennaman doing play-by-play

 

[Y2Kev]

wright :lol

edit: oh, I thought he fell.

dirtyyyy

 

[clemenx]

DAVID NOOOOOO

 

[vas_a_morir]

I don't know if that was dirty or not. A hard slide is ALWAYS dirty, really.

 

[Wickerman]

It looked like he simply turned his ankle

I did get worried for a second though

 

[clemenx]

Wright is gonna have more IBB than Pujols with Failcoeur hitting behind him.

 

[LJ11]

I'd seriously consider a squeeze.

 

[clemenx]

6-4-3 or 3-6-3?

Yeah, squeeze. Lololol thanks Kenshin.

 

[Vargas]

It is nice to see a run walked in when it isn't the Mets doing it.

 

[Wickerman]

That's Mets baseball right there

What could have been a big inning turned in a measly 2 runs without the ball being hit out of the infield

 

[clemenx]

2 measly runs? In this season a 2 run inning is jackpot baby.

 

[The Frankman]

I just came back from Warhawk how did the Mets actually score?

 

[LJ11]

With Castillo on second, they walked Wright, infield hit by Francoeur, walked in a run, and Santos got the runner on 3rd across.

 

[Wickerman]

This is true

 

[snack]

Lind > Inge

So awesome.

QFT. Lind's HR today nice.

 

[The Frankman]

Just came back again and saw the last play. Gutsy play.

Also Anderson may be Santana's next-to-last guy.

 

[clemenx]

I don't care if he has 150 pitches, I really don't trust any of the "8 inning guys" at the moment.

Fuuuuu, get a DP.

 

[The Frankman]

Feliciano? Green I understand. Heck I'd use Frankie in the 8th.

I like Santana brushing McLouth a bit.

 

[The Frankman]

115 pitches by Santana. 5 hits. Gets out of a big jam. What a job of pitching.

 

[clemenx]

Yeah, Feli is a good one, could trust him.

I almost shitted my pants on the McClouth AB.

 

[Wickerman]

LIGHTS OUT!!

Way to go Johan

 

[LJ11]

No idea why Prado took that first pitch, it was right down the middle.

 

[The Frankman]

Is Rosenthal reporting the Braves' steroids on national TV?

HE'S TRYING IT!!! :lol

 

[The Frankman]

*sigh* curveball from a lefty to a righty INSIDE??? 2-1 game.

and of course a single to McCann. Might as well started the inning with Green.

 

[Flizzzipper]

Jason Giambi is batting .191 this year...wow! :lol





His OBP is 50 points higher than Willy Taveras'

 

[The Frankman]

Got him! What a throw by Santos and WTF are the Braves stealing on a 2-0 count? Someone missed a sign.

 

[LJ11]

Why on earth was Murphy playing so close to the bag? WTF!

 

[The Frankman]

Why did Misch throw the 2-2 count so far outside? Now it's 3-2 and the runner will run.

ugh.

Why on earth was Murphy playing so close to the bag? WTF!

He got caught not getting back. He wasn't holding him on and yet didn't get back....

 

[clemenx]

Look at those leadership skillz by Wright.

 

[The Frankman]

Bring in Rodriguez please.

Is that Brian Stokes? Why not bring in Rodriguez???

 

[clemenx]

Bring in Rodriguez please.

It's only the 8th dude, no matter what you can't use closers for more than 1 inning, they'll sue you!

 

[LJ11]

I knew this shit would happen, you could just feel it. Santana pitches a good game, and the pen fucks it up.

 

[The Frankman]

I don't get why Misch was fooling around. Had Kotchman 0-2 and threw 4 pitches nowhere near the zone.

It's only the 8th dude, no matter what you can't use closers for more than 1 inning, they'll sue you!

Rodriguez thrives on innings. He needs to get some work in.
