Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 5:07 pm]: Start 4/23 chatter
Name [April 23, 2013 – 5:35 pm]: Battle of the lefties
Name [April 23, 2013 – 5:43 pm]: Niese gets the tough draw again. It’s a raw misty day in NYC today. At least it’s in the 40s and not 30s
Name [April 23, 2013 – 6:51 pm]: It’s kind of funny how both LA teams have been spending but losing.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:16 pm]: nice job coming back on Kemp
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:19 pm]: your thoughts on Tejada leading off?
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:24 pm]: 2 outs, but we worked the count well in both
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:27 pm]: way to not work the count Wright
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:30 pm]: meh, my chat not refreshing, but i have multiple stuff open
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:30 pm]: oh, there it is!
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:31 pm]: and he just lost the zone…
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:32 pm]: 1 down, 2 to go
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:35 pm]: Has ollie perez come back?
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:40 pm]: thank ***
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:40 pm]: niese just gift wrapped them that run
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 7:41 pm]: So…I’m trying to use my name and it says it is already taken. Not sure why that is.
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 7:42 pm]: So, this says that my name (with a space) is already taken. Weird.
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 7:42 pm]: Also, my entries don’t automatically show up apparently. Hence the similar posts
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:43 pm]: for some reason if switch back and forth from another app. this chat won’t load
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:44 pm]: Also, you’re a writer so you’re name should be in red, if you’re logged in.
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 7:45 pm]: Yeah. Not sure what’s going on here.
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 7:47 pm]: Let’s try this….
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 7:47 pm]: Nope…
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:48 pm]: i fear that one run might have been the game vs Kershaw
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:50 pm]: test
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:50 pm]: test
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:52 pm]: well, this aint good
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 7:54 pm]: Who got hurt? I’m in a blackout area and have to watch the gameday feed.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:54 pm]: niese got drilled in the leg
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 7:55 pm]: Thanks. Not good. Hopefully it’s just a bad stinger.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:56 pm]: i’m also on gameday and looking at the twitter feed and it doesn’t look good
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 7:57 pm]: They are running out of options for SP’s! Nobody is really ready in the minors.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:58 pm]: Still have McHugh and Schwinden
Name [April 23, 2013 – 7:59 pm]: and Charlie Leesman is a FA, Mets should really look into him NOW
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 7:59 pm]: True but imo they are both just fillers at this point.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:00 pm]: well, what do you expect. What team has a MLB caliber pitcher just waiting in the minor leagues
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:02 pm]: Very true. Just saw the replay on gameday. He was limping too bad walking off. May be ok.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:04 pm]: wasn’t*
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:05 pm]: as long as anything isn’t broken, it looks like it might just be a big big bruise
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:06 pm]: hope so. I really believe this team has a chance for the 2nd playoff spot this year. It feels like 2004 or 2005 all over again.
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 8:07 pm]: In case anyone was thinking Montero (who has just been absolutely dominant in AA), Martino squashed that on the Twitter
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:08 pm]: Lol! I wouldn’t bring him up. Could hurt his development.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:09 pm]: i think we have a good chance ofr playoffs too. our offense can carry us and probably will have to until the SP settles in
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:12 pm]: Agreed. Just wait until Ike starts hitting and I truly believe he will. Kind of excited about Lagares tomorrow as well.
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 8:12 pm]: Well, I agree that it’s too soon but there’s not much more that Montero can do but keep doing what he’s doing at this point.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:16 pm]: Anyone want to guess the pitching order TC will use to get innings? I’m thinking Carson for 1 more inning, then Familia for 3, then Edgin for 2
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:17 pm]: and now kershaw has lost the strike zone lol
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:17 pm]: crazy game
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:19 pm]: Rob, I agree. I just remember all of those years (the past 2 decades) where the Mets rushed prospects. Glad to see they changed their approach.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:19 pm]: Murph!
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:19 pm]: who woulda thought Carson could start a rally vs Kershaw
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:20 pm]: Lol! Ya right. Go Carson! What about Hawkins or Lyon?
Names [April 23, 2013 – 8:21 pm]: Wright!
Names [April 23, 2013 – 8:22 pm]: loving our offense right now
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:22 pm]: Wright has been solid thus far.
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:22 pm]: Yay,we got the old chat back.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:22 pm]: not working well though
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:22 pm]: for me at least
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:23 pm]: Love this offense so far! They are fighters!
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:23 pm]: Kemp is having a rough start to the season.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:24 pm]: I have to refresh a lot to get everybody’s post.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:25 pm]: yea, that’s the problem with this chat so far. it seems like if you switch back and forth to another app or web page, this chat won’t load automatically
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:26 pm]: Byrd, finish him off!
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:26 pm]: I have too much ADD to sit here and stair at chat not to mention staring at gameday and reading Adam Rubin’s tweets… oh ya and the Knicks game.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:28 pm]: well, at the very least we got the lead and ramped up Kershaw’s pitch count
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:30 pm]: Ya but I still don’t know how I feel about Byrd. Of course I am always a fan of a guy that puts the ball in play in that situation and doesn’t strike out. Make them earn the out.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:30 pm]: hopefully since Carson got to see the plate up close and personal, he can now realize it’s the same size plate as every level of baseball he’s played and he can find the strike zone
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:30 pm]: Adam Rubin: “Ex-ray was negative on Niese, being called a bruise.” Good news!!
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:31 pm]: Lol! I like that one!
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:31 pm]: Hopefully,Niese just got a bruise.
360fan_750 [April 23, 2013 – 8:32 pm]: good news!
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:36 pm]: Hey just got back – what’s the score?
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:37 pm]: 2-1 Mets
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:37 pm]: all right!
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:37 pm]: Is the chat software working okay for everyone?
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:37 pm]: Not bad. We figured out that we have to hit reload if we change tabs or windows.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:38 pm]: That’s less than ideal.
RobRogan [April 23, 2013 – 8:38 pm]: Not particularly, but might just be me. I’ll email you.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:38 pm]: Did Buck homer?
360fan_835 [April 23, 2013 – 8:39 pm]: hey guys…how do I change my name
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:39 pm]: No.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:39 pm]: big news was Niese left the game
360fan_835 [April 23, 2013 – 8:39 pm]: it says it’s already taken
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:39 pm]: RBI singles by Murphy and Wright.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:40 pm]: Put a 2 after it or something.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:40 pm]: Thanks Steevy
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:40 pm]: I’m in and out while I get kids to bed.
Joe V. [April 23, 2013 – 8:41 pm]: so…how’s the game going? Just got back from class.
Joe V. [April 23, 2013 – 8:41 pm]: what happened with Niese?
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:41 pm]: Niese was hit by a comebacker and has a bruise. X-rays came back negative.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:42 pm]: On his leg that is
Joe V. [April 23, 2013 – 8:42 pm]: That’s a relief
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:42 pm]: Giving Kershaw a nice easy inning.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:43 pm]: It looks like Duda is watching the first 2 strikes all night. Hard to complain because he’s had a good start but not sure how I feel about that approach, especially against Kershaw.
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:45 pm]: Kershaw is a tough match up for Duda,heck,for anyone.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:47 pm]: You’re right about that. Glad they got two and Kershaw has 85 pitches after 4. Should be gone after 5!
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:48 pm]: Brian, just wondering if this version was the same version you installed last year?
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:49 pm]: Carson has impressed me tonight
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:49 pm]: Edgin better watch out.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:50 pm]: You spoke to soon.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:51 pm]: it’s still impressive, how often does he have to pitch this many pitches?
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:52 pm]: Agreed. He has done well. Just rough timing.
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 8:52 pm]: Hi gang!
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:52 pm]: There you go Terry, he gives up a home run now lets play the match up game for 4 1/3 innings!
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:54 pm]: Name – this is the same software but a different version.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:54 pm]: Is it working okay for you?
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:55 pm]: not really. if I switch tabs/apps the chat won’t load.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:55 pm]: perhaps you should reinstall last year’s verson?
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:56 pm]: Unfortunately, that’s not an option.
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 8:56 pm]: How did we score?
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 8:56 pm]: It won’t load or you have to refresh?
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:57 pm]: It works,I just need to keep manually reloading the whole page.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 8:57 pm]: I have to refresh
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:57 pm]: Back to back singles by Murph and Wright after 2 walks
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:57 pm]: Did anyone see how deep Lagares hit that ball?
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 8:57 pm]: Lagares up??
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 8:58 pm]: Short of the warning track,was nothing more than a standard fly out all the way.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 8:59 pm]: Too bad but I’m sure he’ll get plenty of opportunities.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:01 pm]: good job murph. Putting some doubt into Mattingly on whether he should come out for the 6th
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:01 pm]: A HR here by David would be sweet.
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 9:02 pm]: Agreed!
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:02 pm]: either that or enough pitches so that Mattingly won’t send him out for the 6th
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 9:02 pm]: He is due!
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 9:03 pm]: is that really 99 pitches on Keisha?
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:03 pm]: 101 now
Rob Rogan [April 23, 2013 – 9:04 pm]: Alright, looks like I got my account working.
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:05 pm]: Kershaw is a great pitcher but what’s with the Amish beard?
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:06 pm]: can buck finish him off this time?
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 9:07 pm]: Whats kershaws issue to have so many pitches in 4 2/3? Niese good?
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 9:07 pm]: Hope so!
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:08 pm]: Buck just missed that one.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:09 pm]: mlb.tv is killing me
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:10 pm]: Ump looking for an excuse to toss him,better be careful.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:16 pm]: Atchison has to be the oldest-looking Met since Julio Franco.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:16 pm]: another solid inning by atchison
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:17 pm]: Ha,yeah.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:18 pm]: Even Moises Alou looks at Atchison and goes — who’s the old guy?
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:21 pm]: Byrd has such an awkward follow through.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:21 pm]: I wonder if he’s going to challenge Turner for “RBI man” status
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:22 pm]: down to .250 soon he’ll be at 200 and off the team!
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:24 pm]: Oopsd,posted in the wrong place.5 HR 8 RBI is an ugly number Duda.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:25 pm]: i think justin upton has 10 HR’s 14 RBI’s
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:26 pm]: It’s not his fault the #4 and #5 guys aren’t getting on base.
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:26 pm]: Ike batting 4,please TC,make it stop,until he starts hitting.
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:27 pm]: Which Upton was that ripping into the ump the other day?He must have gotten a hefty fine.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:29 pm]: actually. duda is hitting behind buck, who is clearing the baserunners for him
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:36 pm]: I have a bad feeling about this game.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:37 pm]: walking juan uribe? really?
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:37 pm]: Also, Duda is not doing a great job when he does get baserunners. He’s come up with 35 guys on base and driven in 3. That’s an 8.57 OBI%
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:38 pm]: BJ Upton has come up with 39 runners and driven in 1.
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:40 pm]: No way you double Crawford on that but get the lead runner.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 9:40 pm]: I never wanted BJ, would have been nice to get Justin but not worth the trade price even with his 10 homeruns.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:40 pm]: what’s buck’s rate
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:41 pm]: Among players with at least 20 runners, Buck leads with a 31.25% rate
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:42 pm]: An end of season leader will be in the low 20s
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:42 pm]: Game over probably.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:43 pm]: Holy smokes – Marlon Byrd is second with a 31.03 rate! I knew he was doing good but that surprises me.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:43 pm]: Mark Ellis, really?
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:44 pm]: AJ Ellis
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:44 pm]: That’s better, I think
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:44 pm]: No they just said Mark Ellis
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 9:44 pm]: This is what I was talking about earlier when I said TC is going to play match up from hear on out. Since I only have gameday, I would say that pulling Atchinson was not a good idea.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:45 pm]: Atchison is going to have to be babied, though. He got burned out last year by the REd Sox.
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 9:45 pm]: Atchison looked pretty good. Lyon is all over the place
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 9:48 pm]: Brian – If that was TC’s thoughts then I get it otherwise. This matchup thing that all managers has switched too drives me nuts. I miss the ball play of the 80’s. Differnt game then.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:48 pm]: oh right, it was mark ellis. wow. even worse then
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:48 pm]: I know Name isn’t – but anyone watching the Knicks?
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:49 pm]: I’m the last one to pretend I know what TC is doing. If anything, I think he may be using Atchison too much right now. But his hands are kind of tied.
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:51 pm]: Lyon was the right move, had just given up 1 run before this inning
Name [April 23, 2013 – 9:51 pm]: anyone heard of this guy? 200 milion dodgers sporting a complete unknown lol
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 9:52 pm]: I am watching the Knicks score. Don’t get the game on basic cable.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:53 pm]: Isn’t it on TNT?
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 9:55 pm]: ON MSG.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:55 pm]: AHA – I’m watching on TNT
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:56 pm]: Knicks down by 6 at half and now up by 14
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 9:56 pm]: I wish I got MSG and TNT! I got cheap and wanted to save on cable. No SNY either! 🙁
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 9:59 pm]: How are you following tonight’s Mets game?
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:01 pm]: Gameday! It hurts and I’m in blackout area all the way in Upstate NY, North of Watertown. 6.5 hours from NYC and I’m still in blackout! Otherwise I’d just pay the $20/month for MLB.tv
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:02 pm]: I feel for you!
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:03 pm]: Thanks! Every season I swear I’m going to shell out the extra $ for cable so I can get SNY but I never give in.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:04 pm]: Look at it this way – you’re not putting any money into Wilpon’s hands.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:06 pm]: Brian – That is a great way to look at it! Thanks! LOL!
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:09 pm]: Other than wishful thinking… who here thinks the Mets can comeback to win this? Who’s will be the rally spark plug?
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:09 pm]: Knicks just steamrolled the Celtics in the 3rd quarter
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:10 pm]: I know right! They have been playing this way for some time!
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:10 pm]: Most teams try to get into the other club’s bullpen. We can’t seem to hit a relief pitcher this year…
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:10 pm]: It’s not the same Celtics team without Rondo
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:12 pm]: Edgin’s not long for the major league roster
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:12 pm]: I know. This teams offense dies after the 5th inning unless they are already far ahead then they just pad their lead.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:13 pm]: Have a feeling Edgin is going down when Marcum comes up. Either that or an outfielder.
DoesOfTheEpic [April 23, 2013 – 10:14 pm]: His pitching is driving me nuts!
Chris F [April 23, 2013 – 10:14 pm]: Shocking. Edgin has no bizz in the bigs.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:19 pm]: Marv Albert’s doing the game on TNT – what a treat
Name [April 23, 2013 – 10:23 pm]: Aw man, Edgin with his 4th straight bad outing
Name [April 23, 2013 – 10:23 pm]: He’s in serious trouble, especially after Carson’s performance tonight
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:27 pm]: Kenyon Martin is playing really well
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:28 pm]: Buck almost had another HR!
steevy [April 23, 2013 – 10:30 pm]: Knicks should have brought Marv back,I like Breem but even he misses so many games.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:38 pm]: Well, I don’t think he’s coming back as long as Dolan’s there. Marv’s got too much integrity to work for him.
Brian Joura [April 23, 2013 – 10:49 pm]: Now we just have to hope that Niese isn’t hurt too bad. Get them tomorrow
HR 8 RBI.That is ugly.
