jakobnicholas Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Zack Grienke is pitching insane at the moment. ZERO earned runs this season so far. He pitches tonight, weather permitting. Check out the great cover story of Zack on this week's Sports Illustrated. Interesting dude. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Remember how the Mets bullpen was supposed to be good this year? Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the Mets seem to be honoring Brooklyn Dodgers history more than Mets history at Citifield? Link to post Share on other sites
Smokestack Joe Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Yovani Gallardo is pitching like a stud. 8 scoreless innings, 11 strikeouts, and hit a solo homer to win 1-0 to sweep the Pirates. Go Brewers!! Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 And remember how Jon Lester was going to be really good again?He's having another tough night. Looks like Lester is just throwing too many balls in the strike zone. Striking guys out left and right, not walking more than normal, just allowing a bunch of hits. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Nice night for Jonathan Van Every of the Red Sox. Your first major league homerun, and it's the 10th inning game winner. Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the Mets seem to be honoring Brooklyn Dodgers history more than Mets history at Citifield? No, you aren't. I was at yesterday's game. Let's just say that my son is 8 months old and I still have time to not raise him as a Mets fan. Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 And the Greinke streak ends. 7 innings pitched: 2 earned runs, 8 strikeouts, 2 walks. The Blue Jays were amazing at laying off his pitches that dove down in the dirt or curved late. When I watch a MLB game like last night's, I'm sometimes stunned how small the strike zone is AND how batters can train their eye to read a pitch that might be an inch outside or inside or high or low and NOT swing. It's amazing. We're talking about pitches coming in at 90+ miles an hour. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Needles or not, he's a go-getter. "The Daily News also alleges that Alex Rodriguez "pitch tipped" when he played for the Rangers by letting opponents at the plate know which pitch was coming in lopsided games. A-Rod allegedly expected players he helped would return the favor when he was having an off night and needed to improve his overall numbers." Ouch. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Matt Garza is unreal today. Just lost his perfect game in the top of the 7th, but has still faced the minimum as the next guy hit into a DP. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Wow. Marlins damn near lost it in the bottom of the 9th and runners on 2nd and first. Ball hit into the hole with 2 out and Amezaga makes a ridiculous diving stop and flips to 2nd for the out. You'll see that play on Sportscenter a few times tonight. And then we score 5 runs in the top of the 10th without an out. This has been awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
