GDT @ Mets 4/26

[Enscheff]

KEMvP is protecting Freeman so well he has the highest walk rates in his career with KEMvP hitting behind him!

Wait...that's the opposite of protection. Why is this protection phenomenon so complicated?

5-0 in the 1st!

If Julio blows this, I'm not gonna be his fan anymore

 

[50PoundHead]

Lane Adams effect.

5-0 is the only explanation you need, simpleton

 

[thewupk]

Lane Adams effect.

still not strong enough for Swanson to hit the slider

Julio doesn't have to face Bryce Harper, so there's a small chance we'll be okay.

So Freeman waking ahead of KEMvP and then KEMvP flipping a single to right, and then Flowers hitting a 3 run double is evidence of KEMvP giving Freeman lineup protection?

Help me. I'm sooooo confused about lineup protection!

The BABIP gods are making up for the screwjobs from last week.

I agree

eventually....all things even out....thus sayeth the lord

 

[msstate7]

Nice to see Julio has been able to move forward with his life after such a traumatic experience last week

 

[Enscheff]

Teheran throwing darts so far.

 

[sturg33]

Are there people left who actually do still believe in lineup protection? Hasn't this year basically proven that it is meaningless?

 

[sturg33]

Brandon Phillips hurt? Jace pinch hitting for him

 

[Garmel]

Damn. I hope BP will be okay.

 

[msstate7]

I hope Phillips is precautionary with the big lead

You'll have to ask the folks around here that think Freeman took off because he had KEMvP hitting behind him.

I'm still trying to understand the phenomenon myself.
