IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

Mets undefeated post-earthquake. Angel Pagan – CF Ruben Tejada – SS David Wright – 3B Lucas Duda – RF Jason Bay – LF Nick Evans – 1B Josh Thole – C Justin Turner – 2B Jonathon Niese – LHP interesting lineup. I kinda like it.

Flip Bay and Evans and you have four J's in a row....apart from that not all that interesting.

Looks like the quake even shook-up the lineup. Now let's hope it causes some actual damage.

Ball leading Duda to RF...

Gwreck Aug 23 2011 05:40 PM Re: IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

So we had second and third, nobody out and then proceeded to strike out looking three times in a row? Swinging at only 3 of the 13 pitches?

Frayed Knot Aug 23 2011 05:49 PM Re: IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

0-6 w/RiSP by the 2nd inning, no balls out of the infield, 5 Ks, all looking. You can't even do that trying.

They talk about the wind at Wrigley, but I've never seen anything blow like the Mets' offense at Citizens Bank.

Do you suppose we can keep the combined score of this series under 30-0 ??

Well at least Niese was good tonight ... for two innings.

Ceetar Aug 23 2011 06:49 PM Re: IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

I'd probably be the second or third best player on the Mets if they signed me tomorrow.. geeze.

Ashie62 Aug 23 2011 06:55 PM Re: IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

Long tossing programs for Niese, Gee and Pelfrey next spring. All three are finished for 2011.

Not so confident in Capuano, but he may be shuffled aside for Schwinden. Also, there still lingers a small chance of Santana.

Doesn't help matters that this also happens to be 'Bloop one in front of our Outfielders' week.

This is beyond hard to watch. Absolutely horrible.

I beg to differ. Mike Baxter looks like MGIM.

That stupid protrusion in the LCF wall make it impossible for Victorino to play Evans ball off the wall. He had no idea which way it was going to bounce. I guess people don't complain about the outfield walls when you're winning?

Niese to the DL per Rubin, Mets will need two starters for next week, for Niese and for the DH Rubin also says.

Ashie62 Aug 23 2011 08:23 PM Re: IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

About that long toss program........

bmfc1 Aug 23 2011 08:31 PM Re: IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

I had something to do tonight so I missed the whole game. Jealous? I think my head would have exploded when all 3 batters in the same inning got called out on strikes.

Although probably should've let him finish this game to 'stretch him out' if that was going to be the case. Actually, I forgot about Misch. I always forget him. I wouldn't mind seeing Cohoon either.

I forced my attention to wane after the first 1 1/2 innings. After the scoring began, I turned it off, and started hoping my Phantasy guys were the ones doing the damage.

MFS62 Aug 23 2011 09:43 PM Re: IGT 8/23/11 METS @ Phillies

I want to put chili powder in Victorino's Preparation H. Later
