PrintToronto Blue Jays at Washington Nationals, Jun 19, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Hey all, the Jays look to make it four in a row tonight when they make the short trip from Philadelphia to Washington to take on the Nationals. Washington continues to be first in war and first in peace but, unlike the Senators, the Nats are last in the National League (the Senators always played in the American). Nonetheless, things might not be so easy for the Jays as they look to do battle with up-and-comer Jordan Zimmermann, tonight's starter who has been quite good (though at times unlucky) so far this season. We'll need to make sure we see the bullpen early because Zimmermann has had some trouble going deep into ballgames, but has been quite good as long as he's been in.
There was quite a bit of activity on the site this afternoon, Tom took a bit more detailed of a look at Marco Scutaro's walk-double yesterday, Hugo highlighted another unfortunate setback for Dustin McGowan (get well soon, No Run-DMc!) and Ed from Federal Baseball gave us a little preview as to what to expect to see this weekend from the Nats. I also made a little post on the Nationals starters we'll be seeing, so for a little more information regarding Zimmermann, you're welcome to take a look.
Scott Rolen continues to hit cleanup and Lyle Overbay continues to hit in front of Big Rod and the pitcher's slot (if Tallet bats three times with the bases loaded, I'm going to be very annoyed). Speaking of Tallet, he's looking to rebound from his atrocious start against the Marlins last Sunday.
Let's get this series started off right, boys!
Special thanks to Modest Mouse's "Never Ending Math Equation" which has now been used for post titles an unprecedented (at least as far as I know) three times today.

Keep the winning streak alaive
Scutaro is going to stretch a walk into a home run tonight, I can feel it.
haha, thanks
Ralph Kiner once bollocksed it up, said last in the national league, but he’d be right now
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
not to take anything from Vernon
that was a solidly hit ball, but does anyone think that Scooter doesn’t turn a hit like that into a fairly routine out?
Nick Johson's .412 OBP
would look great in the Jays’ DH slot
oh come on Darren...all pitchers have a bad game now and then...even Doc....
lets not whine too much that Tallet’s had a bad one
yep
a hit that was kinda lucky and a walk was the only blemish. Would like to see a bit better control but if he averages 15 pitches per inning I don’t think anyone can complain.
not sure how comfortable i feel with him doing that
some guys can do it but some guys turn into oliver perez.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yeah
just seems like a good way to mess up your rhythm. if i were a pitcher i’d try to do the things the same way all the time. imagine if brandon league purposely changed his release points . . . he already has no idea where the ball is going
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
better than swinging at balls off the plate
and hitting it weakly
he's no Scutaro
but Lyle is tied for 15th in the AL in walks, but he’s done it in 16 fewer games played. Not too shabby
Zimmermann pitching very well.
Wow Wow Wow. Those pitches could have been strikes (according to mlb gd).
he's leading off the inning
he could get a run for himself
yankees winning big already
unfortunately.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
tallet's a lanky guy
with a big strike zone . . . as long as you get it over the plate and it doesn’t bounce it’s probably a strike
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
bluejays.com/jayscare
sounds like that URL could double for their charity and their Hallowe’en party.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
i always liked the way that spelling looked
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
What do you all think of the stone wall behind homeplate?
I like it.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Ballparks should have personality
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
those guys don't seem to have a lot of fans around here...
I think it is cool umpires should have groupies too
I thought it was kinda funny the first time I saw it...
…but sheesh, after five minutes, it gets a little old.
hits one hard
but the old at’em ball.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Dang
hard hit out
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
did tallet go for the mutton chops
in honor of Dustin McGowan?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
maybe tallet is easing up on Nick
because he’s trying to convince JP to go after him
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
barrett's making progress in his rehab right?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
just look for someone who looks like scoot
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
hahaha
he looks like me and none of those guys did, so i don’t think so
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
E-4 on a routine chopper
it must be so frustrating to watch a poor defensive team. I think we don’t always appreciate the Jays defense
strangely
when Anderson Hernandez was coming up with the Mets he was an all-defense middle-infielder
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
and now
he’s a no defense, no hit middle infielder?
Looks that way
though he did hit a three-run homer against the skanks yesterday
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I haven't been watching many games lately
can someone explain to me why Cito has been telling the pitchers not to swing?
what's the update on Downs, anyway?
I haven’t seen anything . . . would assume he should be back soon, but . . .
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
He doesn't want guys straining their obliques
or stubbing their toes
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Zimmerman at 77 pitches through 4
that error cost him a bunch, if we put something together in the next inning he could be done soon
that's been his achilleus heel
has only pitched more than six once
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Error plus walk let us clear the pitcher
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
as a general rule
it’s not a good idea to walk josh bard.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Or anyone named Josh, or anyone named Bard
or anyone who is a bard.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
i don't know
i feel like Fflewder Fflam could probably hit
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Interesting call
intentionally walking Hernandez to load the bases for Zimmerman.
Two questions: 1) is this a common NL tactic? 2) If you were Acta, wouldn’t you just tell Zimmerman to not swing
Damn, kid is fast
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
But he practices this all the time
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
that was a tough DP
Hill had to go a long way and make a turn around through. Would have been difficult to double up any but the slowest runners
Wasn't sure they'd even get the play at second
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
wow, I'm not doing so well with typing today
I meant to say “time 4 runz,” but 4 runs would certainly be nice, so let’s go with that
LOL, I was going to say, 4 is a fairly specific numbers of runs to be asking for.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
ironic that they gave up a run to the part of the nationals offence featuring
josh bard, willie harris, anderson hernandez and jordan zimmermann.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Sounds like the forwards on my soccer team
Can’t hit anything but the keeper…
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
I'm sure it would function as a slight psychological advantage, ya
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
not a good inning there.
at least vernon took a few to drive up zimmermann’s pitch count . . .
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
what is he at? 87 pitches through 5?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
hey, the mock umpires are starting to get groupies
look at the blonde girl moving in for some conversation
we were talking about getting Johnson to add some power to the lineup
but only 5HR on the season. Great OBP, and certainly better than Millar, but not a ton of home run power it seems
overbay-type
high obp + doubles power.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yes but we could use another lefty
in this lineup
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I'm not knocking the guy
he’s way better than Millar and would be a good pickup, and if all they want are relief pitchers, I imagine the Jays could come up with a competitive offer. He’s just not going to add too much power.
no argument here.
but i’d rather add a guy with a .420 obp and .450 slg than a guy with a .350 obp and a .500 slg
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
really?
our lineup’s problem is not OBP, but power. Given the high OBP’s elsewhere in the lineup, I might be inclined to sacrifice a bit of on base for power. I know the whole thing about a point of OBP being equivalent to 3 of SLG, but a slightly lower OBP guy isn’t going to significantly affect the Jays’ overall OBP and the power could really help, especially on those off days when we can’t seem to string together hits
he'd be replacing kevin millar
who is hitting .248 / .317 / .395 . . . I’ll take the hundred points of OBP
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
well, he's definitely better than Millar
no question there. And I definitely want Johnson (I remember defending the proposition on a previous game thread some time back), but I might also be inclined to look at a more powerful guy should one come available.
What do you think the asking price will be for Adrien Gonzalez? Can you imagine him hitting in even a neutral park like SkyDome with a modicum of lineup protection?
They want to build around Gonzalez
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
but not Peavy?
Im really hoping Gonzalez gets traded for fantasy purposes.
Gonzalez is still cheap for a while, I think
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
signed though 2011
4.75mil in 2010, club option for $5mil in 2011
looked like vernon got a good jump on that one
or else he was positioned well.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
he has been very solid
seeing him run that down, reminded me of O’s CF (Jones I think) .. man that guy was fast
is probably blowing a bubble while diving to make a game-saving catch right now!
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
need to get this guy out of the game
He’s gonna be some kind of pitcher
76 pitches and we burned our bullpen to the ground yesterday
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
That's results-based thinking
You have to judge whether the odds were right, whether it worked out or not.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Actually thinking about it
we used all our relievers, but a few of them only for 1 out
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
what did Camp do yesterday
he can be a several-inning guy, no?
Voodoo Joe flies out
what is it with guys swinging on the first pitch against a new pitcher? Wouldn’t you at least want to see one or two to get calibrated?
they liked it when the umps were calling out the yanks vs. jays
but not anymore cause they are doing it to ‘our’ guys
That really bad Tigers team a few years ago didn't.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Shhhh, don't break it to him.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
Ya, exactly
Didn’t Cito say basically “That’s why we play the game” after the Phillies game?
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
come on
he is ready to get pulled
he is not on tonight

boom
Big Rod throws out Harris. One more strike and the pitcher leads off next inning
that works
now lets get the batter to waste another pitcher

DOA. Nice toss Barajas!
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
how do the jays rank in caught stealing outs
they have been catching lots of guys lately
grrrrr
s’okay, let’s just get the pitcher and get some runs
Prehistoric Hoops - a neat little Raps blog
They've put the Picture-in-Picture up for the fake umps
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
why do the umpire guys
need to stand up to make calls? I call strike all the time at gaemes, but I do it while seated.
doesn't RSN realize
that the more coverage they give the fake umps, the more they are going to keep doing it
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I think they do
but don’t really care. Good on Fletcher for calling them out on that
holy cow
man, i would have been so angry if that went out
ok … that is enuf … Carlson is DONE … get him out
I don't know that that was a lucky catch
the ball hung up in the air, Wells got a good jump and had plenty of time to settle under it. Good thing it went to the deep park of the park, though
long loud out to Vernon
nice catch, but that was scary for a second
remember that guy in the 1980s who had the rainbow hair
he would show up at all the events .. World Series, NBaA etc …
I don't think you'd be too happy
to be sitting behind someone who stood up between every pitch, even if they sat for the beginning of the next play.
every strike
so around half of the pitches. I know I would get annoyed very quickly, especially if I was shelling out top dollar for the close seats
i'd already be annoyed that i was at a nationals game

catchers
Barajas: 28SB/40 Attempts = 70% SB%
Chavez: 9SB/16 Attempts = 56%
Total: 69%
I don’t know how that ranks, but I’d think that’s excellent. It’s almost crazy for Chavez.
it's johnny bench like
though so much caught stealing rate is due to pitcher
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yep, but as i said
it definitely begs the question that the pitchers are doing nothing more than the average pitcher to hold runners on
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Wells was 7 for 16 with a homer against Tavares going into that at-bat
Motive?

no Tater for Dunn

I'm glad he didn't need contact for that out
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
because groundball pitchers throw under bats
and flyball hitters hit under balls?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
And vice versa
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
hm
never even thought of that, has anyone run numbers on it? Would be really interesting to see . . .
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I didn't make it up
I forget where I got it from though
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
well, that's it for me
going out, so I’ll take this pitching change as a chance to run down to my car so I can catch the rest of the inning on the radio.
Let’s go Jays
certainly wouldn't be confused with a woman

Lefty on lefty?
No.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
don't know
you don’t generally throw a couple strikes for an UIIBB
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Barajas' 23% GB rate makes that unlikely
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I guess that was one of the 23%
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
darn, was hoping it might work that time
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
plate appearance
not an official AB :)
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I saw him with a bat in his hand
how you figure this wasn’t an AB???
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." — Albert Einstein
Walks aren't officially At-Bats
neither are Sac Flys, Sac Bunts or HBP . . . I think that’s it but might be missing one or two
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I'm not sure about that
A walk hurts the batting average and if it wasn’t an AB it wouldn’t hurt the average…Same with a SacFly, it hurts that average even though it has value as an RBI
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." — Albert Einstein
Walks don't hurt batting average
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
I was pretty sure they did
They help the OB% but hurt the BA
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." — Albert Einstein
Don't technically hurt batting average
but players who walk a lot frequently have low batting averages because seeing a lot of pitches increases your strikeout-rate . . . if BB doesn’t help BA but K hurts it, in the long run, walking a lot probably hurts your BA
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
walk doesn't affect batting average
but helps OBP. SacFly hurts OBP but doesn’t affect BA
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I always wondered why hitters didn't counter the pitch inside to back them off the plate
by not backing off the plate

Millar's suckage in action?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
this is where the Jays miss Rance Mulliniks ... that guy was so so so money
late innings, runners in scoring … that guy (seemingly) always cashed
no extra base stuff, but always (again seemingly) hit live ball
can’t remember how many times heard that guy on the radio getting pulled in to make a pinch hit and win the game
next time Rance calls a game, if Inglett is still up, he should go talk to Rance about how best to fill that role

maybe rance could lend him a pair of the henke glasses

Seriously, Fletcher and Campbell don't know why they're the 51s?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Had the 51s' radio guy in the booth with them one weekend
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
hugo mentioned a few months ago
if the jays keep them for a few more years, should change their name to the Green Jays

I'd like to see Dopirak in AA be sent up in AAA for a few AB's then give him a shot at Millar's job.
Loving that 27% PD rate against lefties
even if they are minor league lefties
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Should be LD rate
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Except his overall LD rate has dropped every month
I guess hitting more fly balls? Keeping the slugging high, so they must be leaving the park.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
mock umps now have a prop ball that the blonde girl is fake throwing in
this is better than “the four guys”
basically a pitchout
but just missed him
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
no worries
accardo makes guzman look the fool!

He wasn’t good last year and he didn’t have a good spring…
He mechanics were off and his split finger wasn’t falling, plus the Jays have no options on him so they couldn’t send him down if he struggled. I have no problem that he started in the minors, Although I thought he would get the call for Wolfe earlier in the year.
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Accardo has a big beard in his picture on MLB GameDay. Looks funny.
Nice to see him pitch well. We need him big time.
as long as "do it'
means ground out on the first pitch
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
ok let's say it again
NOW would be a great time for VW to break out of his tater slump
Oh god yes
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
that looked like it might have been his pitch
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
holy crap
willie harris covered ground like tris speaker there
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
at least i didnt say
tristram speaker
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
haha
i wouldn’t go overboard there . . . speaker’s inner-circle hall, isn’t he?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
ha, yeah
I’ve always loved that line . . . fits so well with the Nats, too
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
plus I always felt bad for walter johnson
and i think he must have had the best mechanics of any pitcher ever
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
anyone ever watch video of him on YouTube?
one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I thought we had a pretty bad 1-run record
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
We had a great one
then we went on a bad streak
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Damnit
He had no business making that catch. Shoulda been a stand up doulbe… Frick.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
Makes our magic number 99
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
oooh
that pitch looked a lot better than the second strike . . . anyone on gameday?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I was,,,, but then I found a stream....
A certain significant other is using my tv since I was out :(
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
It was further inside, but could have been high.

lol, I mean in the umps eyes. GD shows it still in the zone.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
yeah not complaining about the umpiring being biased at all
just remarking that its been inconsistent
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
I thought they were
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
They at least try to estimate them
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Same... I've seen various different heights of boxes between batters.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
(could say the same for the umpires)
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Yeah, like where's Pedrioa's zone?
His knees when he stands up straight, or where he crouches down if the pitch is low?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
how many MVP's do you know who can't hit pitches
at his knees when he stands up straight?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Why hit it at your knees
when you can make it middle in?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
That would make sense
Though I would think that after a while, the Gameday staff would eventually get a “book” on hitters’ stances and set it.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
although sometimes gameday depctions of strikes do not even look like what is going on the field … most of the time it is good .. but rarely, phew, way off

like torgen said
gb pitcher to a fb hitter
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Red Sox lost
and O’s beat Phillies for their 4th straight loss
My heart bleeds.
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
not sure
yesterday gave up the homer, but today got screwed on the grounder to first . . . take that out, it is a double with one out and he got the strikeout for Out #2 . . . don’t know that he hasn’t earned his keep
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Hayhurst has already been in....
Loaded the bases in the 7th
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
Oh, my bad
Thought you were talking about today… DOH
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
Ya, just realised that...
Who has options left?
I don't want to play golf. When I hit a ball, I want someone else to go chase it. ~Rogers Hornsby
He meant who leaves when Downs comes back if we keep Accardo
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Wait....
Do I see the umps behind home plate?
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
depends
hopefully rolen homers here
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
looks great
can’t say I blame him for being pissed at staying in Vegas all that time. A lot of $ on the line for those guys and only a certain window to make it.
Grizzly Adams on the mound?
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Not a great at-bat for Rolen
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Ok the stream and this thread is slowing me down.
Sorry Guys, actually watching the game wins out over listening to y’all talk about it. See ya after!
'But I don't want to go among mad people' Alice remarked.
'Oh, you can't help that' said the Cat 'we're all mad here'.
Are you telling me we're not a big draw in Washington?
I am shocked.

Nats are ranked 27 of 30 in terms of attendance

Marlins, I would assume
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Better at-bat for Lind
but not a great ending
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
2 out walk for Rios
Steal!
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Oh wait, lefty
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
don't basestealers say
lefties are either toughest or easiest to steal off of?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
ha, i think rickey said it
and rickey was never one to withhold an opinion
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
was caught against tim wakefield
i remember that one, sadly
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Is it the second or third day after a start?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
ya, I kid.
But didn’t he run past the bag once or something? Or was that a fielder’s choice
yeah
we’re not talking about that game. ever again.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
lind looked like he opened his mouth there for some reason
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
okay, brandon
let’s get through this one . . . then we score, then frasor for the save. easy as pie.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
if league throws pitches like that over and over
it should be
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
and he did right there.
absolutely filthy
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Pretty simple, I agree.
Though a simpler plan tomorrow might be this:
a) starter last through 7 innings
b) offense crushes balls like they did in Philly
c) sweep Nats.

Richmond?

Grover Cleveland?

Ha
was wondering if anyone would catch that one . . . nice one
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
Would he have a better chance in the Presidents' Race
than Roosevelt?
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
this is in very poor taste but
I think FDR would have a better chance in the Presidents’ Race than TR
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
OK .. he might be losing it here
when he is on he is great .. but when off, he cannot hit the strike zone if you pay him
You do pay him
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
fyi – what is the advantage or point of a new thread? thx

Doesn’t seem to be slow

oh well, rod
ball might be out in parks that are short down the line, but not here
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
and then the throw guy
who we determined is . . . Richmond?
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
yeah, but he pitches sunday afternoon
seems like it is kind of soon
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
When Gibbons had starters pitch in relief
he pushed their next start back a day. Works for Richmond because the fifth day would be an off-day.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
come on marco
can’t go 0-6 twice in one week, can you?

I guess Dunn really doesn’t care:P

won't argue when it helps us
but the balk rule is really idiotic
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
If there was no balk rule
there would be no stolen bases
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
Okay
the enforcement of the balk rule is really idiotic. The rule itself is good.
"The NY Mets are my favorite squadron" -- Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
The fact that you can fake to second and third but not first is idiotic
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
WOW
Balk!
