Go Darren McFadden!!!
Mac, you know I love the Newsradio. It is the hallmark of adequacy if I do say so myself.
AAR, in regard to the Hudson pitch speed discussion from the last thread, you forced me to go digging in the Gameday archives. I went and looked at Hudson’s fastball speeds from the first three innings of his last three starts.

So, I was wrong to say he was hitting 93, but yesterday’s start was actually worse than his 4/16 “low velocity” start against the Marlins. I am worried.
Dale Murphy’s son is a Jet. No family deserves to be associated with the Braves of the eighties and the Jets.
Newsradio with Phil Hartman, solid show. Phil Hartman was brilliant.
Poor Dale Murphy stuck with the Jets, ugh. The man deserves better.
It said on ESPN that Shawn Murphy was drafted by the Dolphins.
no big surprise, but no Chipper and no Escobar today; hopefully both back on Tuesday
You’re right, he went to the Dolphins. I guess that’s an improvement. I guess.
your right, Yahoo says it too.
Much better than the Jets
Another poor Braves lineup. We need 7 strong from Smoltz today.
Re DFA’ing Schreiber–it’s especially odd given the stats for Jairo Cuevas. He has a 7.5 era and 2.25 whip this year. Last year he had less than 2k per BB and gave up better than 5 bb per 9 innings pitched. Hard to see what the Braves see in him over Schreiber.
They must know more about Schreiber than we do.
does make one wonder …
You know, the announcers on WFAN aren’t that bad.
Time for the big K here, Smoltzy.
Dale Murphy’s son is a Jet. No family deserves to be associated with the Braves of the eighties and the Jets.
Even if he were, it wouldn’t be an issue. When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way.
so much for the timely strikeout
ububba, from your lips to god’s ears
Way to come back on Beltrán. Which makes the wild pitch all the more regrettable.
Yesterday, before Beltran hit that double, I told my mellow Met-fan pal, “Y’know, he can turn around the negativity in this place with one swing.”
Bam. Two -run double off the wall.
He said, “Wow, can you do that again?”
Me: “No, I think I’ll shut up now.”
Re: Mets radio announcers.
I agree, they do a great job.
I’ve always loved Howie Rose, in any sport he’s called (very good hockey announcer, too). He’s no longer a WFAN studio guy, but he was always the most knowledgable, least condescending host. He was a Met fan since he was a kid growing up in Queens. It’s his dream job.
Gary Cohen’s a pro. Has a real honesty streak in him (a rarity when you consider the Yankees’ rubber-stamp radio crew). He can’t stand players who loaf & he’ll call ’em out on the air—guys on both teams. Doesn’t always hide his disgust for all things Pinstripe.
The new guy Wayne Hagin is competent, kinda boring, but certainly not obnoxious.
Of course, I was a huge Bob Murphy fan. Before his twilight years on-air, you could always count on tuning him in and within a minute or two, you’d have the complete pictutre of the game—score, inning, situation, etc. No frills, not too many pointless personal stories, just the ballgame & baseball. I miss that.
Ugh… So much for the 7 strong.
Game over.
Smoltz is not right. Well, we knew that before but he really doesn’t look good.
Hate to say it, but might as well get him outta there. Carlyle can pitch like this, too.
smoltz hasnt looked happy one time this year. he must really be hurting.
It’s 3-0. What did I miss? It doesn’t look that bad.
What’s not looking bad, Rob? Smoltz? Yes, he is.
Nah, I just tuned in. I haven’t seen the game. But the way you guys are talking, I thought it’d be 6-0.
The Pirates released Matt Morris. Worth taking a flyer?
Who is the color guy for WFAN? I, too, like these guys so far.
Smoltz isn’t throwing strikes and he’s velocity is down somewhat. Just not looking comfortable. Oh yeah, and the lineup is rather weak.
his not he’s… sorry
Hannah Montana kills the rally
Rob,
It’s probably Howie Rose doing color right now.
Also, Smoltz has been struggling mightily. He looks very uncomfortable. He’s getting hit & he’s taken more than a couple of those walks around the mound. There have been a couple of mound visits.
What the heck was that? Smoltz warming up between innings and throws it 5 feet!
well its 4-0 and I say we have no chance of coming back with this lineup. Actually, I dont even think we’ll score today
Matt Morris – no
Our lineup is not scary, but neither is their pitcher.
Take Smoltz out. What’s the sense in leaving him in like that?
be alarmed – Smoltz has thrown fastballs this inning and has only touched 90 once
Smoltz will do damage control for another 2 innings but it the Braves don’t get some runs, he’s done.
65 pitches through 3 for Smoltz.
ububba,
It’s the guy that apparently was a former pitcher. I swear his speech seems slurred but he always sounds like this.
Rob,
Are you talking about the Mets’ TV guys or the radio guys?
If it’s TV, the former pitcher would be Ron Darling.
None of the radio guys are former players.
Did you guys hear Joe Simpson right before the break right now? He said ball game and Jon said yep. He thought the commercial had already started.
Soriano still feels discomfort in elbow.

I remember Ed Kranepool. Didn’t know he played at age 17!
Smoltz is trying to pitch like a finesse guy right now, and obviously not succeeding.
Simpson is blathering on about Smoltz taking one to save the pen. That’s bass ackwards–if Cox considers the game a lost cause at some point the scrubs in the pen (this means Reslop) should take one for Smoltz. True in general, but even more so with an off day tomorrow.
It’s amazing. Even when Smoltz isn’t right, he owns Wright.
Career: 10 for 46, .217, 20 Ks
OK, that’s it for #29. Can’t say I disagree.
Can we at least get a scratch off Nelson Figueroa?
#44 – sure did, and I totally agree. This team plays with no heart and no emotion.
Emotion doesn’t win you baseball games, talent does.
when you’re bored you dont play up to your talent level
this is a pleasant surprise, keep it up. It would be a great time for Lillibridge to contribute
Come on, Lillibridge, one more run!
Emotion is way over rated. Competitive people win whether they are emotional or not.
Whaddya know, we’re down by one run.
Just teasing us, I guess?!
Ohman’s throwing strikes so far today!
I WILL unleash the mother of all musical criminals if the Braves lose by one run again.
Unlease the fury Mac!
Oops, unleash!
Ohman is a c&^k su%*er! Why is he on the team?
first pick off of the year?
Blanco = Harris
I’m starting to wonder if it’s even possible for the Braves to hit a home run in shea.
Hats off to Church.
That play by Church was unfair. Beltran did not have it, he was going to miss it even before the slide, so if Church doesn’t run all the way over we score another.
Urgh.
Ohman is awful.
I thought Ascanio was a guy with a bright future. We’re just not getting the breaks out in right center today.
9.72
Too bad that’s not a judge’s score for a pommel horse routine.
We have surrendered.
Everyone that flamed me last week when I suggested that we needed to trade for another SP that is known as an innings eater, you were wrong.
Well, at least Diaz broke up Wagner’s streak.
This team stinks.
This team is hurt.
The Mets have plenty of injuries too. They found a way to win.
