Some potential big Schaefer implications for this game.

I'm guessing that Chris Young could seal his first Schaefer pitcher of the month award with a strong outing today. Or if not strong, adequate, given the overall sorry state of Mets starting pitching this past month.

If Ike can get up 4 more times, maybe he can hit 4 more solo homeruns. Of course, by then Young will have given up a few more bombs.

Young is the new Batista.

Re: I.G.T 7/28 Mets @ Dbacks 8:10 pm est 3 days Til Harvey

We need to go at least four batters over the minimum in order to get Ike up twice more in this game.
The double bonus is that, if they actually do that, hoping that Ike hits his fourth might not be the only thing worthwhile over the final three innings of this game.

Maybe because he's given up 3 runs or less in 8 of his 9 starts prior to tonight?

Look, I think it's safe to say that he won't be in the CY race but let's not act like he's been awful either.

Re: I.G.T 7/28 Mets @ Dbacks 8:10 pm est 3 days Til Harvey

Tonight is really only his second lousy start of the 10 he's made. The rest have been a combination of good and mediocre.
The biggest problem is that we're not getting much length out of him. Sometimes that's been his fault, sometimes not so much.

Baxter should return on Monday so tomorrow could be Nieuwenhuis' last day in the majors until September 1.

In his last 72 at-bats, Kirk Nieuwenhuis has struck out 36 times. In 156 career at-bats, R.A. Dickey has struck out only 23 times. #Mets

I'm starting to root for players stat totals more than wins and losses now.

I'd like to see Ike hit 30 Knocks 90 RBI's and close it at .250
