Interesting to know what "every day" means.

Interesting to know what "every day" means.

AB: "'Any day' means any day I choose to play him! Shut up and enjoy the game."

We need a Giantspeak glossary and book of unwritten rules evidently.

Yeah, "every day" probably means "every day he is in the lineup he plays". Or "every day, he'll have the opportunity to play"

This from Schulman regarding Shaw yesterday:

I was actually hoping he'd get a few, just to see how he'd handle it. I've heard he's not the worst out there

ELo w/Dinger 1-0

ELo w/Dinger 1-0

But no SDI

 

[Stokes1931]

The Mets' .160 hitting catcher is 2-3 today.

Loving the old fashioned pitching duels, but really saddened by how poor this offense is.

Welp, TZ should be smiling.

edit 3: JH Qeeerist, on to the 9th, tied.

 

[Stokes1931]

1 walk

13 K's



But great pitching by Dutch and the bullpen.

 

[1phlapdown]

by my quick count: 5 er in last 63 inn.

Free baseball!

Gork/Hundo/BB9/Herk/HanSack 0-17

otoh, Dutch is making me look bad and the bully continues to be nailz!

 

[Stokes1931]

If Moronta could cut down on his walks, he would be utterly fantastic. He's having a great season, and has been nails with inherited runners.

I read recently that this is his new mission in life. Perhaps he lurks on the Hoop?

 

[Stokes1931]

Belt, Pence or Hanson could end this right now.

so, you're saying he's another one of my alts?

DAMN YOU...ER...US!

 

[Stokes1931]

Hanson looked promising pre-ASB.

He has looked DFA worthy since.

He's hitting now .220 with no walks post-ASB. None. Nada. Zip.

Pre-ASB he had 13 doubles, 2 triples, and 6 homers

Post-ASB he has 3 doubles, 2 triples, and no homers

Out of shape? Regressing to the mean? Pitchers adjusting to his weaknesses?

I like his versatility and his speed, but he only has six stolen bases and has been caught three times.

 

[1phlapdown]

I hope Strick doesn't break his hand again.

Looks like the weaklink bullpen choked away another fantastic effort from our offense
