3/9 O's v. Mets

[baseballnelie]

Ground ball up the middle that Cabrera fields and fires to 1st for the 1st out of the inning. Uehara has been replaced by Scott Chiasson after just 2 innings of work.

[baseballnelie]

Church walks on a 3-2 pitch.

[baseballnelie]

Another ground ball up the middle that Cabrera fields while standing on 2nd base and tosses to 1st for the double play to end the inning.

[Fan4Life]

So Baez has a nice outing, and then Koji struggles.

[baseballnelie]

Pie grounds out to 2nd to lead off the top of the 4th.

Roch made a comment on Koji's start today:

"We're sitting in the nose-bleed seats, but he was missing pretty badly in spurts. There were a few borderline pitches that didn't go his way."

Sounds like he may have had an offday. I'll def be interested to hear his post-game interview.....I hope he's above just blaming the umpires.

[baseballnelie]

Zaun rips one deep to right that is just foul.

Also the Mets changed their pitcher at the start of the inning to Duaner Sanchez.

[baseballnelie]

Gomez walks on a 3-2 pitch.

After reading some of his other comments from his post-game interviews, I don't think Uehara will blame the ump for his a few mistakes because I think Uehara threw a lot more pitches that missed badly than were poorly called.

[baseballnelie]

Single for Cabrera on a grounder between SS and 3B. 1st and 2nd now with 1 out.

[baseballnelie]

Freel with a single up the middle that looks like it went off the pitchers bare hand to score Zaun, and again 1st and 2nd with 1 out.

[baseballnelie]

Sanchez just took a couple pitches with the trainer out there to make sure he was alright.

[baseballnelie]

Jones rips a single to left that is bobbled and allows Cabrera to score after he stops at 3rd until he notices it was bobbled.

[baseballnelie]

Montanez chases a low and away change-up for the 2nd out.

[baseballnelie]

Sanchez gets Wigginton to strike out swinging to end the inning.

They keep showing the MLB 2k9 commercial on MLB.tv. I have to say I like that commercial a lot better than the MLB 09 The Show commercial, but The Show is a lot better game haha.
