BILLY DON'T DO NOT-SAVES

SO DON'T DO IT TO BILLY

OR HE'LL DO YOU IN

I was at game 3 and some kid behind me kept yelling "SOUP AND SAMMICHES" but he ended up getting thrown out of the stadium for underage drinking by a guy who was like 80 yrs old and wearing a DEA hat.

More McCarver brilliance tonight when they walked 'Yadi the body'.

Buck: That would qualify as a bad walk as it clears Carpenter for next inning.
McCarver: But a GOOD walk for the Cardinals!

Uh, no shit.

game 7:

Suppan vs. Trachsel? Ollie Perez? Darren Oliver?

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 19 October 2006 05:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Perez is starting. I'd wager with a very, very short leash.

― bnw (bnw), Thursday, 19 October 2006 06:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Perez, then Oliver in long middle relief.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Thursday, 19 October 2006 06:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Why not start Oliver?

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 19 October 2006 08:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Because Randolph liked what he saw out of Perez apparently.

― Tim McCarver (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 October 2006 11:00 (seventeen years ago) link

And what was that?

― Joe Buck (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 October 2006 11:01 (seventeen years ago) link

A pulse maybe? Look I was a catcher. You'll have to ask Joe Morgan to tell you what a former secondbasemen might be thinking in a situation like this.

― Tim McCarver (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 October 2006 11:02 (seventeen years ago) link

La Russa calls runs "points."
-- Euai Kapaui (tracerhan...), October 18th, 2006.

Hence, figures to be ILE's favorite baseball figure.

Simple on the starter: if Perez is OK (like for 3 innings), D. Oliver gets to pitch deeper into the game. If he stinks, Oliver comes in as soon as 2 guys get on.

I do not want to see Billy Fucko in any more tie or 1-run games.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 October 2006 12:27 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, suppose Perez loads the bases with one out in the second with the Mets already down 1-0? Do you lift him for Oliver? Why not just give the start to the guy most likely to give you 4-5 quality innings?

I don't the Mets' pitching staff was assembled with a mind to have Darren Oliver pitching in the late innings in a close Game 7. That would be a big waste of the league's best bullpen.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 19 October 2006 12:46 (seventeen years ago) link

The Mets' pitching staff wasn't assembled with a mind to have a month like this in any fashion!

it could be as simple as Randolph is more comfy w/ Perez for goofy reasons like Darren O not starting since '04... but since everyone but Maine (incl Glavine) may get the ball tonight, someone's gotta start (who isn't Trachsel).

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Is Perez really better than Trachsel though (Game 4 not withstanding and three days rest to boot)?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Perez was pretty effective in Game 5! Willie just left him in too long. (I still don't understand how you let him hit in the 6th after you just scored 6 runs and he gives you 5 innings of 3-run ball.)

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate to use this cliche, but it seems the foggy circumstances behind Trax's late-season leave (reportedly marital woes) and rumored ask-out the other night = Willie has "lost confidence."

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait Perez pitched in Game 5 too?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Thursday, 19 October 2006 13:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I meant 4.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 19 October 2006 14:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Rob (Houston, TX): So, fire up the old predictometer...who wins tonight? And do they take even one game from the Tigers?

Rob Neyer: (12:07 PM ET ) I should probably quit now, since I did predict Maine beating Carpenter and I did predict that Oliver Perez would be named as Game 7 starter. I'll bite, though: Cardinals win tonight, and the game's mostly over by the sixth inning.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 19 October 2006 15:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Max (Brooklyn, NY): Rob, what about Perez for 3, Oliver for 2, Feliciano/Bradford for 1, Mota, Heilman and Wagner take care of the rest?

Rob Neyer: (12:45 PM ET ) How about Perez for one or two innings, and then replace him with a right-hander like Heilman for as long as Heilman can pitch? That would complicate La Russa's life a little bit.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 19 October 2006 15:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Tough to score points against that strategy!

― mattbot (mattbot), Thursday, 19 October 2006 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

kevin kennedy had this "theory" last night, saying randolph trusts last name oliver more than first name oliver, and would prefer to turn to D.O. if O.P. gets in trouble rather than vice versa.

― gear (gear), Thursday, 19 October 2006 16:22 (seventeen years ago) link

haha, Joe Sheehan ballistic over 'points'

Joe Buck: "Suppan with only 12 wins this season..." Now what I know about fantasy baseball could fit on Wee Willie Keeler's jockstrap but if I'd picked up Soup for 2006 and he got me 12 games I'd be laughin.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 19 October 2006 23:38 (seventeen years ago) link

that's tied for 20th in the NL (out of over 100 starters).

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Thursday, 19 October 2006 23:41 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not "not handing it to him" or anything.

― Euai Kapaui (tracerhand), Thursday, 19 October 2006 23:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Lot of nervousness with the fly balls so far.

― Michael F Gill (Michael F Gill), Thursday, 19 October 2006 23:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Uh ... they're not pinch-hitting for Perez leading off the bottom of the fifth?

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 20 October 2006 00:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Cliff Floyd does not make that play.

That catch was brutal. SOOP has been nails tho. Great game.

― bnw (bnw), Friday, 20 October 2006 01:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Suppan hit for himself in the 7th?

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Friday, 20 October 2006 01:35 (seventeen years ago) link

unnnhhh....it pains me so grievously to see Wagner warming up for the ninth. It feels so...Mets.
