If that had been CoJack, there’d’ve been no 12th inning :-)

No emoticon required. Delgado’s scorcher probably would’ve bounced off Conor’s eyebrow all the way to the wall.

by Diamondhacks on Jun 11, 2008 10:30 PM EDT 0 recs

If it was hit right at him

I think CJ would have stopped the ball and been able to pick it up in time to get the runner.

Now if he had to move at all to his right or left, all bets are off.

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 10:31 PM EDT up 0 recs

Well, I guess,

Delgado has a pronounced limp ;-)

They’re wondering who’s still watching from across the country. They should talk to some of our British contingent if they want to know about late nights…

Looks like we’ve got EdGon.

Bottom of order,

I would go with Gonzalez.

yep.

looked like he got hit in the foot, plate ump didn’t call it, and he crushed a pitch into the bleachers.

WOO.

by emilylovesthedbacks on Jun 11, 2008 10:36 PM EDT up 0 recs

It was beautiful

He got hit by a pitch, they didn’t give him the base, so he took three more.

That's exactly what it was

Almost doesnt matter how the game concludes. Mets fans had bags over their heads, with their guys up in the bottom of the ninth of a tie game. Priceless.

This is so unbelievably stupid.

EdGon is the long man. He’s it.

Why the hell are we saving Lyon for a “save situation” when one run loses the game right now?!?

How can the local writers let Melvin get away with this bullshit?

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 10:39 PM EDT 0 recs

This requires further study.

Is this the CW? That you save your closer in a tie game?

Max Scherzer is all out of bubblegum.

by DbacksSkins on Jun 11, 2008 10:44 PM EDT up 0 recs

It's the second time Melvin has done it this season.

The last time was in San Diego. Lyon was unavailable, but Pena was the “closer”. He elected to not use Pena and have EdGon stay in and eventually lose.

There is flat out no reasonable justification for this practice. An extra inning tie game is an even higher leverage than a lead. If the long reliever can pitch in a tie game, then they can pitch with a lead. And what happens if the team gets a lead, the closer comes in and then blows the save? Then the team is doubly ######.

I know, I remember the first game.

Yeah, he sure "squared up"

on that single.

by DbacksSkins on Jun 11, 2008 10:41 PM EDT up 0 recs

Agreed.

If not for the brilliant managing of pinch hitting Burke for Salazar, that ball would likely be caught.

by dahlian on Jun 11, 2008 10:42 PM EDT up 0 recs

Well, I'm not certain of THAT,

but it was still a fucking stupid idea.

And no other pitcher would ever give up a hit like that.

Med-its-gon.

:-P

by DbacksSkins on Jun 11, 2008 10:44 PM EDT up 0 recs

Why does that matter?

Every pitcher will give up a single like that from time to time, and that seriously could have been caught by Burke. But, of the whole roster, no one else gets smack talk about it from you for pitching like that.

And, of course, you don’t acknowledge that Gonzales pitched a perfectly fine inning other than that one at-bat.

I figure if I failed to get banned from GLB, I can at least be ignored by foulpole.

Yeah. You can wear that badge with pride.

Although, being ignored by foulpole is much more annoying than being banned from GLB, simply because of all his stupid comments that BEG for a response.
