8 pitch 1st... So far this is the super nova we love

 

[The Frankman]

Man I love listening to Kiner.

EDIT: Holy shit how does he call that pitch to Kirk but not the closer one to Votto? JESUS ump.

Chris Young: Pimp

 

[The Elite]

I'm at the Rogers centre. They opened the dome and it's starting to rain. 

 

[The Frankman]

Holy crap it looks like Cueto just strained his back on the mound.

EDIT: Ok he said he's fine.

 

[The Frankman]

Wait, Dusty walked to the dugout and got him Gatorade? Is he cramping or something? I've never seen a manager walk off and get a pitcher a drink before.

 

[Link]

Bullshit that Cueto is getting that outside call while Young isn't.

 

[McNei1y]

LaRoche bopper

Five-pitch inning. I said goddamn!

Awesome. Find a chick and hire a room in the hotel.

 

[CygnusXS]

My prediction for tomorrow's lineup: Simmons bats 2nd, Heyward bats 8th.

According to the Gameday picture he's getting the inside corner too.

I like how this guy thinks.

Murphy's become such a hacker, doesn't draw walks and is content with fouling off pitches out of the zone than taking a called ball.

 

[Link]

Wtf, Torres?!

 

[The Frankman]

I don't know what's happened to his "power". I mean dude hit a few homers last year, he does realize that if he's not taking walks, not hitting homers, and not reallly gettting many XBH he's basically Luis Castillo 2.0?

Whoops, my bad. Luis Castillo drew walks.

 

[storybook77]

My prediction for tomorrow's lineup: Simmons bats 2nd, Heyward bats 8th.

I just wish he'd experiment for one or two series having Heyward up in the lineup to see what he can do when Uggla, Jones, McCann, and hopefully Freeman are behind him. I'm sure he'd see a lot better pitches than he does down in the lineup.

 

[Link]

Fuck this ump.

 

[The Frankman]

If Torres threw the ball on line Cozart is dead at home plate. My God Torres is having a terrible series week month. Tie game.

Oh BTW I hate this ump.

 

[LJ11]

Great D.

Phillips didn't overswing and he gets a hit, what a surprise.

 

[Link]

That's probably game. No way this offense scores 3 more runs today.

 

[The Frankman]

Great D.

Phillips didn't overswing and he gets a hit, what a surprise.

Actually that's not really Young's fault, pitcher has to back up home because that's usually where the play goes. Duda's throw wasn't terrible, but he was blocked by the runner. That's a situation where either the SS or LF has to back that play up.

Just a weird play and one backup responsibility that wasn't made.

EDIT: still, result is 3-1 Reds.

Zimmerman's lack of production is a big concern.

 

[The Frankman]

... didn't Cueto just balk?

He's been garbage.

Don't worry, Young will get called for it next half-inning.

 

[jman2050]

Nova's bunting stance = lolllll

 

[The Frankman]

... remember what I said about Andres Torres earlier?

yeah...

 

[CygnusXS]

Just score 1 run. ONE.

 

[The Frankman]

ahahah Keith Hernandez is KILLING Brandon Phillips. I love it.

 

[Windu]

Just score 1 run. ONE.

you expect too much.

 

[McNei1y]

Damn you Cano.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Weeks on base?

Twice?

IN ONE GAME???

This is my World Series victory.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

nice Cano, nice.

 

[jman2050]

Granderson owns.

 

[Malo]

Curtis!

 

[Prade]

Can someone go back to Tampa and bring back some infield dirt for this team?

 

[The Frankman]

I gotta say, another good outing for Chris Young. I'm really happy for him and encouraged by his performances coming off such a major surgery, especially with his injury history.

Pitchers	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	PC-ST	ERA
C Young	        7.0     9	3	2	2	2	0	103-72	3.06

He's been pretty solid! Hopefully we can find someone else once he stubs his toe and goes down for the year his next start.

 

[jman2050]

Harper's going to punch something before this series is done.

 

[calder]

Everytime Colby Rasmus gets a hit and they show his dad I'm expecting him to be starting an argument with someone. So far so good!

 

[Link]

Amazing. Cueto had what? 50+ pitches after 2 innings, yet ends up making it through 7. Nice plate discipline, Mets.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Maybe Matt Harvey!

Dammit you're not thinking positive!

 

[Sharp]

Hey EJax, how about some not sucking

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

bunt I guess...

 

[jakncoke]

It sad that today and yesterday will be the peak of Alvarez career. 5-8 4 hr 9 rbi

 

[jman2050]

Jones should've kept going.

 

[CygnusXS]

At least one baserunner in every inning except the 5th. No runs scored. Barvesball.

 

[Y2Kev]

What will Girardi inevitably call Harper? Harpy?

He prefers Bam Bam.
