sheeeesh.

ATLANTA -- The New York Mets are choosing to proceed more slowly withDaniel Murphy's rehab and now are eyeing next weekend's series against theCincinnati Reds at Citi Field for his activation.

Murphy landed on the disabled list on June 5 with a strained left quadriceps.

General manager Sandy Alderson recently had identified Tuesday's series opener in Milwaukee as the target date for Murphy's return.

Murphy might be playing in minor league rehab games midweek.

He still has hurdles to clear in his rehab progression, particularly involving running.

Murphy is expected to return to the majors as a third baseman for the duration of David Wright's absence.

looks like we have another "real winner" of an ump behind the dish today calling balls & strikes....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

No score after 2.....but Harvey is already at 47 pitches. Braves making him work and his locations are missing the mark.....not good on a very hot 94º day in Atlanta.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Mets tried to trade Dillon Gee, but teams weren't exactly knocking on the door..lol.
He'll go to Las Vegas if he isn't claimed off waivers by Tues.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Harvey needs a quick, minimal pitch 1-2-3 inning here in the 3rd.


LGM!!!

LGM!!!

He allows a 2 out single...but gets the 3rd out on 4 pitches for a total of 14 in the inning...(61 thru 3)

A little better.

Mets bats must wake up eventually...right?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Here we go again....lol....Mets are hitless thru 4.

Pretty bad when all our pitchers need to be near perfect in just about every game because the offense is absent +/or invisible.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Harvey bounces back with a 1-2-3 4th inning..on just 8 pitches....(69 total)




Onto the 5th.... still no score.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes a hit!!
Flores leadoff single....can they cash it in???

Nope..of course not.

Plawecki flies out mildly on only 2 pitches....and Herrera GIDP on 1 pitch.....LMAO

What was I thinking?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Dilson Herrera is going to be a good player. The organization loves him...but he's obviously not ready for this level just yet....(and he's not the only one that isn't.)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Thru 5, game still scoreless....Harvey now at 86 pitches.


LGM ..... FFS!!!!

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

wow...Lagares is swinging at everything way out of the zone and missing horribly.....a sign of fatigue?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Stretch time at turner field....still nothin' doin'

This could very well be Harvey's last inning...he's currently at 97 pitches thru 6.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Braves take the lead. Ciriaco with the pinch hit RBI single. Teheran only had 78 pitches, but we needed a run and Ciriaco came through.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Harvey gives up a 2 out double that almost cleared the wall....but now the Braves send up a PH for Teheran..

Stay Tuned....

and just like that...a PH rbi single to cenetr...and Lagares throws too high to the plate....runner takes 2nd.

Harvey w/ a season high 115 pitches...gets pulled.


LOLpen time.

re: Lagares.....he's not only pressing at the plate, but he's not making his usual spectacular plays in CF, or throwing out runners....

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Braves take the lead. Ciriaco with the pinch hit RBI single. Teheran only had 78 pitches, but we needed a run and Ciriaco came through.

Wow...Really dude???

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Brew Crew must be eagerly awaiting our arrival in Milwaukee...and licking their chops.....lol

 

[Chewbaccer]

Wow...Really dude???

Yes dude, you need to get rid of that ornery.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Yes dude, you need to get rid of that ornery.

or maybe you ought to get rid of that silly avy...and go post on your teams board??

what say you?


oh..that's right....no one ever posts there.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

LOL ....Torres about to walk the park here?
