IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Ashie62 Jul 18 2012 05:02 AM

My big mouth assures a 9 game winning streak for the Mets so have at it Mr. Young. 99 degrees in DC. Just for today Ashie will not vent or otherwise be an asshole..

Benjamin Grimm Jul 18 2012 06:54 AM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Please make sure it's just for today.

Ceetar Jul 18 2012 01:04 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Some random bullpen stats I crunched today. Manny Acosta, with 33 runs allowed, is still tops in the National League among pitchers with no starts. Heath Bell is second with 28. The non-Acosta relievers are pitching to a 3.77 ERA. The bullpen with Manny Acosta in it was posting a 5.54 ERA. Since the last time he appeared in a game, the Mets bullpen has posted a 4.07 ERA. League average is 3.85.

Mets – Willets Point Jul 18 2012 01:21 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

C. Young. So close to Cy Young, and yet so far.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 01:33 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Won a lot more games then Anthony, though. I guess it's a pretty safe bet that Young is the winningest name in baseball history. Johnson is probably second. Maybe Niekro third.

bleh Tejada-6; Murphy-4; Wright-5; Davis-3; Duda-9; Bay-7; Torres-8; Thole-2; Young-1

No Valdespin against the righty after what he did last night? He could have started in CF for Torres (they want to give Bay ABs, I guess).

I can't imagine Collins wants to play him....

Adam Rubin ?@AdamRubinESPN TC said he needs to maximize outfield defense w/ Chris Young pitching, hence Bay, not Valdespin. TC said he'll still "mix and match with Bay That makes sense but Duda is out there.

Rubin also says that Rauch will be available tonight. He was not available yesterday after having both knees drained.

Mets go back in mid-August for a weekend series. Could play two on Saturday (7:05 scheduled game) or Sunday.

Closed door meeting for the Mets. That's a well you can only go to twice a year.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 05:09 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Ruben leading off. Six game hit streak.... ... pops to second.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 05:10 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Murphy up. Peerless builds America's best boilers. he went 2-2 last night after entering late as a pinch-hitter... ... and he skies that shit to right. Morse puts him away.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 05:12 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

David Wright digging in. Drove everything to the warning track last night.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 05:15 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Ike Davis, hitting .290 over his last 29 games.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 05:15 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Strikes him out on the change. Let's dampen their spirits in the bottom of the inning.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 05:20 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Lombardozzi leads off and flies to the track. Some kid named Harper up now and Young wants nothing to do with him.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2012 05:21 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

Lines to left-center. Bay steps in front of Torres for the play. Get in the game, Crane Pool. Ryan Zimmerman stepping up... ... matches his Norfolk playmate David Wright with a two-out double.

You don't want to miss t-shirt night against the Dodgers. First 20,000 get a Dodgers t-shirt. HAH! Duda digging in. Sore hammy. Collins sez he's not running any slower than usual.

Ceetar Jul 18 2012 05:27 PM Re: IGT Wed 7/18 Mets @ Nationals C.Young v. J Zimmerman

I think the better case is Kirk, but if Jason Bay has any chance (and I know most don't believe he has a chance) at getting going, you figure it's with some regular reps to start at least. timing wise.

Until the 9th inning anyway, this game was the story of the big hits we didn't get and big ones they did: LaRoche's two-out HR and then Lombardozzi's two-out double. We play a lot of games just well enough to lose to these guys.

These are the type of games the Nationals have been playing, and mostly winning, all year. Every time I turn on one of their games in the mid innings it seems like it's still scoreless, or maybe 1 or 2-zip. That's what happens when you get nearly 70% quality starts Of the last 13 NYM losses to the Nats this season and last -- seven have been by 1 run (including twice in extras) and two more by 2 runs The remainder were by 3 (once), 4 (twice) and one 9-run blowout

Back from my 4th loss this year at Nationals park. On the bright side, the pizza was good for DC and the lame PA Announcer wasn't there. Sadly, his backup sucked too: at one point, he said that Ike was batting when it was Wright. Here's the question: why didn't Shorty bring in Edgin to face Lombardozzi? There were two on and Edgin is a lefty just like Lombardozzi. He didn't so I asked my son BEFORE Lombardozzi came up, "why is Edgin warming up if he not going to come in right now?" Those were the two runs that lost the game and, to me, another example of why Shorty is an awful in-game manager. I would like to know why he had Edgin up but didn't use him with two on. Did he actually have confidence in Batista? FK--thanks for the note on all the close losses. Maybe this is what happens when one manager is playing three dimensional chess and the other is playing checkers.
