Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Monday, August 25, 2008
Carlos Beltran smacked two home runs for the second time this season, but the bullpen ruined a solid effort by Oliver Perez as the Mets fell to the Astros, 6-4, in 10 innings at Shea.
Aaron Heilman gave up a first-pitch double to pinch hitter Geoff Blum and the tying RBI single to pinch-hitter David Newhan in the seventh inning. In the 10th, Pedro Feliciano served up home runs to pinch hitter Brad Ausmus and Darin Erstad as the Mets suffered their second straight loss.
...
Perez received a standing ovation when he was pulled with one out in the seventh inning… But the crowd, which started to get restless at the sight of Heilman, soon turned angry and rightfully so.
...
That was all for Heilman and the crowd immediately ripped into Scott Schoeneweis as soon as his name was announced.

1. Long John McCaine Mutiny on the Bounty (scott) Posted: August 25, 2008 at 02:45 AM (#2915050)i was sitting with my mother, and said "it's Brad Ausmus, i don't think we need to be too worried."
and then he hit a ####### homer.
Brad Ausmus.
he of a 16 year career w/ 77 HR total.
####### a.
(on a side note, can we please just DFA Heilman already?)
There's nothing the Mets can do but keep running Heilman out there. He was good as recently as last year, his peripherals aren't bad, and his stuff has never been better.
Maine's stuff was pretty good yesterday. He got beat but he was throwing great. If they do shut him down, do they call up Niese or stick with Stokes?
Eventually he found one -- Feliciano -- who didn't have it.

Thank you for dredging up horrible, horrible memories from 2005.
I actually didn't have a huge problem with Manuel's pitching choices, outside of his use of Heilman in the first place.
I understand your feelings on the Mets and their young pitchers, but at some point you have to figure they put winning this year ahead of of what Niese might give them in the futue, espcially as its not like they're going to be flogging him for 220 innings
That was about the most surprising event I've ever seen in a game like that. It was so surprising that I was too shocked at the time to realize how surprising it was. Absolutely unbelievable, especially since it wasn't some Crawford Box blooper but a 400-foot HR that would have been out easily in just about any other park (instead of barely hitting over the yellow line in left-center).
Yeah, he has upped his Ks, but at the costs of allowing more walks, and more flyballs.
holy christ, I didn't know Tony La Russa managed the Mets now.
That included Perez, who started the game.
Manuel could have tried to get another inning out of Joe Smith.
ahhhhhhhh
sighhhhhhhhhh
the reason grrrls aren't allowed to play mlb is because they know we go to bradley and say - boy if i throw you a high hard one down the middle will you do the same to me?
That's better than 2 balls in the dirt, I would imagine.
Nice!

What does "acquired from Baltimore" have to do with it?
Even now he's only had 4 save attempts in August. He flies just far enough under the radar that the typical fan has no high expectations for him.
And he was good for 3 straight years before this. Geez, tough crowd. This crowd is so tough that it even criticizes other crowds for not being tough enough.
