The Mets are now allowed to leave Miami (W; 10-3).
I took a peek at ESPN’s Gamecast during the bottom of the ninth inning, and had a Chuck-like mental flash.
So I took a screen cap, and as I’m no longer the MLBlogs featured blogger (thanks for the ten-day hit, MLB Advanced Media; someone let me know if a guy I know named Mark B., who may work for your division or MLB straight-up, managed to see it), I no longer feel completely obliged to push baseball media with the MLB imprimatur.
This picture is the control; look for thick red outlines for the intended focus on subsequent shots. All images are thumbnails–you can get to slightly larger ones by clicking on them:
Onward!
10-3? You spoil us, line-up.
Remarkably, however, this was your line-up throughout the day, with every Met managing two hits…
…except for Anderson Hernandez… who had THREE. With an RBI and a walk.
For today, Mr. Hernandez, I’m sorry I occasionally mistake you for Argenis Reyes.
It occurs to me that I cannot recall a single Tim Redding at-bat. With his .053 batting average, it’s clear I’m not missing much. However, for the uninitiated (and to break this up a bit):
Ha!
You’re a professional baseballer, for Chrissakes. Don’t smile like you’re four.
It’s a rare day when Sean Green is called on to rescue Pedro Feliciano, but it’s also a rare day when every man in the Mets line-up records more than one hit. So it’s a very rare day.
My actual thought, hand to God: “Huh. Brian Stokes. Thought he was on the DL.”
My second thought was, “An intentional walk, with one out and no one on? Jerry, you son of a–” …and then I looked at the ball locator directly above.
I’ve got a rash from this intentional walk thing, and it’s beginning to cloud my judgment. I need to seek counsel. I shall, I shall.
And finally, some fun with facial hair. Shouldn’t be too hard to discern.
Heh, heh, heh.
Nice win in a walk, gentlemen. And my thanks to ESPN.
