Has Chipper played at Shea yet this year?
Four games. Braves won only one of them, and it was back in April.
Anderson CF
Prado 2B
Jones, C 3B
McCann C
Infante LF
Francoeur RF
Kotchman 1B
Lillibridge SS
Campillo P
No Kelly.
Naturally. A scary left-hander is on the mound. 🙁
To be fair, apparently he is 0-7 with 6 Ks against Perez.
Chipper says nice things about Shea, Shea gives him a bloop hit.
Good karma.
Ugh. Joe Simpson saying that Lillibrige will never hit 15 homeruns in the majors, like Lillibridge says he can/will, if he doesn’t cut down on his strikeouts.
I don’t know how many homeruns the top five lowest NL strikeout guys have, but instantly I want to say say “Adam Dunn and Ryan Howard.” They hit homeruns and strike out 150+ times per year.
Lillibridge isn’t the kind of guy who can afford to strike out that often, though. He doesn’t have the Second or Third True Outcome. He can strike out, alright, but he hasn’t seemed to walk or hit homers since he left High-A.
Oh, a sacrifice bunt! My favorite!
Is Escobar hurting again?
Lillibridge won’t hit 15 home runs until he can make contact with breaking pitches.
He’s hurt his trade value this year.
Damn it, David Wright.
Also: Albert Pujols is 1-1 today, .360 avg
Chipper is 2-2 today, .365 avg
You’re going down Pujols.
Pujols now 1-for-2.
Chipper 2-3 (.364)
Pujols 1-3 (.359)
Hopefully, Chipper has turned it back around. Pujols has outhit him significantly since Chipper peaked at .420 in June.
It’s just simply whoever is going to be hottest at the end of the year. We all knew that Chipper was going to fall off significantly after hitting .400 for most of the year and he did. Pujols is a consistent hitter and that’s how he got into this race.
Folk-hero status: Revived!
WOW!
This is unbelievable
winning the game would be even more unbelievable
Credit where it’s due, Bobby has managed this game perfectly so far.
NO WAY.
(Also, Nick C, not to quibble, but I think Kelly should have been starting.)
and now chipper’s 3 for 4…
Hey Stu… Vandy is the first team out of the AP top 25 (“#26”) in this week’s poll. Beat Ole Miss, and you’re ranked.
#22, maybe, but you can’t argue with his numbers against Perez or Prado’s performance in the game.
Moving Prado to short would give us a pretty bad middle infield defence.
Why did Corky come into the game instead of Sammons?
Holy cow, did I just see Yahoo right that they’re pinch hitting Corky in place of Francour?!?!? Wow… THAT has to kick Frenchy’s ego right in the nads.
Because Sammons is worse than Corky. His defense is terrible.
Nah, Francoeur left the game in a switch earlier, when Blanco ran for McCann.
If Escobar is unavailable I assume Infante will move to short and B-Jones will play left.
maybe he’s more efficient driving in runs than Francoeur
Even the Corkster’s getting in the act.
Let the next great Met collapse begin.
Mac, my theory is that Bobby is telling Frenchy to get his act together or HE will ship him out of town. If it was Sammons it would’ve been conceivable that it was just giving the young guy a chance, this makes it clear to Frenchy.
Escobar was used earlier in the game, so it has to be Infante to short.
Unless we plan to go with the aforementioned middle infield of doom.
Yes, Infante at short.
Uh-oh….
It will still be unbelievable if we win this game
Also, Delgado totally swung at that pitch.
Matt Ryan, first quarter: 0-5 with an interception.
fun to do that to the Mutts
Let the collapse begin!
Heh, heh. I flat out love beating the Mets.
Oh my God. We won.
Phils win tonight and they’re only 1 GB. Too bad they’re done playing the Mets.
Recap is up.
Nice way for Chipper to leave Shea. The only way better would have been for him to be the one to hit the three run dinger.
