Billy Wagner Mirrors Real Life

you know...Billy Wagner can give me enough agita watching him close out games for my New York Mets in real life, but in The Show 2008, I've had a few near heart-attack moments with Billy Wagner. Last night:

My starter, Nelson Figueroa was in line to get his first win as a New York Met. He was called up to take Pedro's spot on the roster. Pedro had a finger injury that put him on the 15-day DL.

The Mets were up 4-3 when I brought Wagner in to pitch the 9th against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

Tony Abreu (in for Garciaparra who was ejected over a close play at first) stuck out looking-one out

Russell Martin, after fouling off about 8 pitches, got under a high fastball and popped out to Wagner near the pitchers' mound-two out

Matt Kemp, pinch hitting for Hong-Chih Kuo, HOMERS (his 4th) to left...a 405 foot blast into the pavillion area....

It was off a 2-seamer that didn't break back far enough OFF of the plate...

and the Dodgers tie the friggin game....LOL

But my Mets got 4 runs in the top of the 12th and defeat the Dodgers 8-4.

Wagner's numbers so far:

16 games

1-1

4.59 ERA

10 saves; 2 blown saves

15.2 IP

14 hits

4 home runs

7 walks

18 K's

righties are batting .155 against him

but.....

lefties are batting .500 against him

My Mets are 22-11; 7.5 games ahead of the Phils who have lost 5 games in a row

Re: Billy Wagner Mirrors Real Life

Not sure if you are aware but the righties/lefties batting average against pitchers is the wrong way around in the game when you press select while playing.

I didn't know this.

And its only when you press select during the game?

This makes so much sense. It drove me nuts, bc im the Rays, and my first 3 batters are lefthanded followed by a right hander, and id always look and say "how can i be batting .333 for righties with only 1 RHB having been up"

Re: Billy Wagner Mirrors Real Life

And here I was looking in this thread expecting to hear there was a douchebag attribute!


Actually, I got to see this game played the other day for almost a full game and I'm amazed at some of the pluses. I can see where some guys are aggravated as well, however.
