[jersey cubs fan]

Mets announcers are apoplectic on the Soriano scoring decisions (hit instead of blatant error)

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soriano grounded to shortstop , safe at first on a throwing error, E6, Castro & Rizzo scored

[GammonsPocketTweets]

Better get a 7 run lead with Edwin on the mound.

25 pitches in the first. That'll hopefully help us get to their 3rd-worst-in-MLB bullpen early here.

Soriano grounded to left field

 

Left field?

 

So I hit a wrong button.... sue me !! :wink:

[sneakypower]

that Soriano GB should have been a base hit and an error

 

they did that to Castro a couple weeks ago, he ranged several steps to the right of 2B and bobbled the ball in the transition and they gave him an error; really irritating

[Fred Hornkohl]

Duda flied out to left field

Fred, you're 3 pitches shy of the Gameday box score for both pitchers, FYI

[Fred Hornkohl]

Castillo flied out to deep center field

[sneakypower]

Castillo

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fred, you're 3 pitches shy of the Gameday box score for both pitchers, FYI

 

Thanx

So 2 runs, 4 line drives, and a 5th guy who torched two balls a few feet foul. Good first trip through the order.

don't see how it's a hit. It was a slowly hit ball that was picked up cleanly with plenty of time to throw him out and if the 1B was any good he was out by multiple steps.
