IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Edgy MD May 25 2013 05:53 PM

We're in the the bottom of the second inning, and there's no score, and no thread, and that's what we call Metsapathy.

Hey, it's a Recker day! He can whiff too!

2-out, no one on, 8 & 9 spots coming up ... sounds like the perfect time for a five run rally!! Mets, meanwhile, have two hits and haven't scored more than five runs in an entire game since the 3rd of May

Edgy MD May 25 2013 07:03 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

No kudos for yielding about 17 straight two-out hits in the fifth, giving the Braves a 5-0 lead. Two hits so far for the Mets, the sort of offense that presses the pitcher to perfect, which they can be, until they're not, and then dams break.

Without GKR, this team is unwatchable....

Edgy MD May 25 2013 07:07 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Not enough to outsex Mike Nickeas, Anthony. You need to outhit him, too. And that's not such a tall order.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 25 2013 07:13 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Howie and Josh talking up Gee's future as a reliever. Completely hopeless the 3rd time through a lineup but not so bad the first time through. Perhaps he take over for Brandon "0-2 count" Lyon.

Edgy MD May 25 2013 07:15 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Lewin going on about damage control, underscoring how Gee has pitched as well as most in most of his innings. His problem is that where others might have the occasional one- or two-run innings, Gee gives up five-run innings. That, I think, happens with teams who don't score. Pitchers kill themselves trying to be too perfect.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 25 2013 07:16 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Perfect, schmerfict. Stop serving up the meatballs.

Robert Carson's one "value-added" thing: he doesn't break when the other guys hit liners literally off of him. (The downside-upshot? He continues to pitch when the other guys hit liners literally off of him.) SIDE NOTE: Just started paying attention again; I've been driving since the first and unable to listen on the radio. Figuring that it would be the fifth or sixth when I got where I was going, I almost expected something like five runs to have come in by the time I checked back in.

Edgy MD May 25 2013 07:48 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

I get why there are napkins and wrappers out there blowing around in center. I don't get who is out there buying food. Unless it's stress eating.

Edgy MD May 25 2013 07:54 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Josh Lewin reads the MLB "rebroadcast, retransmission" warning, and caps it with, "And honestly, if you're going to be disseminating, I don't know why you'd choose this one."

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 25 2013 08:07 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Good Lord, do I hope those people with the wrappers got DISCOUNTED stress-eats.

Edgy MD May 25 2013 08:08 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Valdespin getting plunked on the hand. That's what this game needed.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 25 2013 08:09 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Not really. Knob job, on par with the broadcast and the game in general.

Edgy MD May 25 2013 08:13 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

How's about not gettng shut out over 11 innings today?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 25 2013 08:18 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

"Hey. HEY! Watch it." -Producers of actual stage shows involving copious fecal matter, on hearing this game being called "a shitshow"

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 25 2013 08:19 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

The numbers are there, sorta, and it's way down the list of problems, but I dunno if I can even remember David Wright having one of those big killer David Wright Games this year.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 25 2013 08:23 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

There was a 2-HR game, I think. OE: Hey, I'm not senile yet! (In a loss, though.)

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 25 2013 08:24 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

That's like 40% of his HRs right there. See if I've forgotten that game, I've forgotten a lot.

Pitchers kill themselves trying to be too perfect. could also be the defense. i.e. when a pitcher's a little off and yielding more balls in play a good defense might convert them into outs (a swifter LFer, though Duda wasn't horrible on it, probably dives and makes the catch limiting it to 2 runs)

Edgy MD May 25 2013 08:34 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

It could be. I just see pitchers working without a net. Ike whiffs. Day's proceedings were missing that.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 25 2013 08:37 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Twelve games under before Memorial Day, looking worse if you watch the games, with regression from presumed bedrock players, and-- talk about lacking even cold consolation-- this team is likely not getting either of the top two draft picks next year. It gets late early these days.

Edgy MD May 25 2013 08:46 PM Re: IGT, 5/25, in the Key of Gee Minor

Seemed like they were only six games under six games ago. The commitment to Ike has cost them, but...

I'll die before I root for a team to do worse to get a better draft position. DIE!

DIE! come on, there's nothing better than spending September hoping David Wright strikes out in big spots so the Mets lose and the pimply teenager we choose might help the Mets win game in 2017 more than that other pimply teenager we'd get if Wright homers in that spot.
