The Mets try to take the rubber game as R.A. Dickey squares off against Cole Hamels in a matchup of All-Star hurlers. Game time is 7:10 PM.
START 7/05 CHATTER
I’m going to miss the beginning of the game but will join in as soon as I get home.
Dickety doesn’t have it tonite, hope he gets it soon
me too. its grim
This is remenisent of the Dickey-Sabathia matchup
Haven’t been able to watch the game until now, but ive listened to some radio and it seems like a lot of his hits have been bloops, was he just unlucky tonite or did the phils have a good gameplan?
I’m here in time for the comeback!
i just got here too
great – let’s see if we can pull out a win.
Just hope Chris doesn’t come along to jinx us like he did yesterday.
Looks like the top of the order is coming up, and they have been productive tonight
Just looking at the box score — 11 hits for the Phillies
Hairston and Wright with homers
Cohen has been mentioning recently that the Phils had a good gameplan, but i was listening on the radio a bit and a lot of them sounded like bloops
i wonder what the BABIP for this game is, probably abnormally high
Rats
****, thought it might fall, guess the mets want to wait until 2 outs to rally
.400 before Tejada’s AB
That was a disappointing inning.
Battle of the Bullpens. Whose is going to be worse tonight?
Mets have been really bad vs lefty starting pitching this year,
so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they have a chance to lose the 2 games started by lefties
wow
Murphy!
Got a lot on that throw. Didn’t look so it was amazing how accurate it was.
could that be the spark the mets need for the rest of the game?
Let’s hope. Not a surprise with how much they struggle vs LHP
ohno
Rauch not looking very impessive…
Walk Utley
or bring in brydak
Was that Beato warming up when they showed the bullpen? I don’t remember a #27 on the roster earlier and that was his number last year.
Yea, they were listening to us yesterday and brought him up today
Is that Chris?
hope not
Who went down or was DL’s?
Hefner went down
interesting
nice pitch. Be nice if Byrdak could do that twice more.
nice job thole
shades of wigginton
Can’t believe they sent him there. Even with the bad throw he was out by 10 feet
He wasn’t even at 3B when Hairston picked up the ball.
A lot of anti-Duda sentiment on another discussion board. What’s the perspective here? Calmer,I’m sure.
yea, i thought it was a very dumb move
I’m a big Duda fan. But they’re are going to have to pick between he and Davis, I think.
duda is in the same position murph was a couple of weeks ago, since he play bad defensive, he’s useless if he doesn’t hit
The new dimensions haven’t helped him very much on defense. Not sure what the numbers are but he looks terrible out there.
he had a key misplay in this 6th if you missed it brian
He gets bonus points for trying to make it work but he’s a 1B or DH
No, I didn’t see that. I know last year he had to poorest UZR of any OF with at least 300 innings.
UZR/150
Well, Collins is not easing Beato back into things, is he?
i don’t think he trusts anyone in that bullpen
Yeah. I’m still on the fence re Duda. I’d like to see Davis solidify at 1st…
Davis’ big edge was defensively but he hasn’t looked as good with the glove this year.
hopefully beato can be that 8th inning guy
I agree, Brian.
i was just about to comment on his fastball, and cohen just mentioned it
Woo-hoo
Let’s get Beato a win!
Gotta like DW and Hairston coming up against Bastardo
Bastardo was dominant last season, but it looks like he’s struggled with a 4.00 ERA this year
Nite guys. Doing this on a nook is slow motion. LGM
thanks for dropping by
Walk and then Hairston blast
rats
i thought that strike was low ball 4
Bastardo not looking good tonight
had a pitch to hit
that was a strike
ugh
if someone gets on base, we might see valdespin vs papelbon
It’s the whole reason he’s up now, right?
if i remember correctly, the mets won both series at philly and the lost the series in NY, right?
this dog is cooked. RA blew any chance at starting the ASG with this miserable showing. Phillies give me heart burnn
Matt Cain didn’t have a good game either, so he still should start.
ohno Chris F is here
I simply cannot for the life of me understand why Mets lefty batters are absolutely paralyzed against left handed pitching. Its essentially 12-15 free outs.
you better not jinx us again
Ha!
yes
Pence Rollins Wiggington Pierre …. Hamels….I HURT!
Chris thanks for the Chris Young numbers you pointed out earlier today.
Sad that im thinking about this, but is Ruiz juiced up this year?
I doubt it
Parnell looks nice tonight
Let’s get some runs!
Well, the 2 all-star pitchers haven’t been good today, let’s make it 3 for 3
No sweat. It was a real eye opener to me about CY. I think intrinsically, I knew it was something like that, but the data are quite astounding.
OK fans LGM!!!
Chris Young is sorta like Chris Capuano last year, and look at Capuano now
Ike please do something
Sure. I think CY will be better after another year and conditioning. Right now though..
When Chris pointed them out I thought Hisanori Takahashi
The lefty meltdown…….please help me belive !
Yes!
Ike
All star pitchers aren’t pitching like all-stars today!
!!!!!!
Let thole hit, i have a good feeling
How does the sign go? “Met Power”
got the job done, I guess
Knowing the mets, they will probably strike out here, and then get a hit with 2 outs
and that hit will be valdespin
Ok, how to play this?
put it in play of couse
had some giddyup on that one
yep, fair enough.
just fly ball Capt
well, part 1 of my projection came true, now i hope part 2 does
would be a huge win if they do win
well, ‘Spin is in
hi doug
good AB by Spin
Tejada’s been hot
he wanted no part of Jordany
Make me a continued believer RT!
this is a good game no matter if they win or lose
can papelbon pull off a heath bell?
true name…who ever you are!
i want a balk
C’mon Ruben
wow – can’t believe he laid off that one.
I thought that pitch was more of a strike than that earlier strike 2
Doesn’t look like we’re going to get a replay
exciting game
25 pitches – time to hang one
can murphy do what turner did to bell?
Wow!
!!!
oh
my g
***
Thought Pap was going to be able to tag him there
no…unreal
G O D is censored? why?
ball game!
yes!
NOW it’s a great game
Just like i said, all 3 all-star pitchers had bad nights
AMAZIN!
good call name. DW is simply unreal. That was a magical 9th
Gotta love Dickey’s reaction
Keep winning 2 out of 3
Now it’s time for payback against the Cubs
RA was awesome with that!
Yeah Brian.
They got another lefty tomorow, but after that the Cubs are trotting out 2 righties who have been really bad this year
Johan on the mound tomorrow night. Hope to see everyone then!
yep
mosnter good win. a playoff like win against a real foe. thats what playoff teams do.
you gotta think this win also helps RA get the All-star starting nod, because instead of the storyline being RA’s struggles, it becomes the magical 9th inning
true. but it was a lousy outing. 1 game worse thatn he previous 10
I’m just saying that the casual fan is going to forget about RA’s struggle with that 9th inning, which no doubts helps his all-star start cause
Wow, Nationals also get 2 in the 9th to win 6-5, no help from the giants
i hope he gets the start, but reading LaRussas words today make me think otherwise
LaRussa’s excuse is lame. Because he doesn’t think Posey can catch him? Pshh
I think Dickey takes over the NL lead in IP’s as well with this start
Well, see ya guys tomorrow
