Harvey vs Fernandez, 1:10 first pitch.

duan Jun 08 2013 10:54 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

is this looking like it's going to happen?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 10:59 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

weather looks fine here. Maybe some rain later but fine now

Zvon Jun 08 2013 11:02 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Looks good.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 11:18 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

GAMEON! Harvey deals in the first and his pitches look lively. 3 up 3 down, 1 k.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 11:31 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Singles by Muffy and Duds put runners at the corners. 2 out... Byrd is not the wyrd. Ks. Stranded.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 11:45 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

JUANDERFUL!!!

Zvon Jun 08 2013 11:46 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Wow, Laggy waited real nice on that curve and doubles to the gap. Ike, who walked, scored by doing something around the bases that was a little faster than his walking. Mets up, 1-0

Zvon Jun 08 2013 11:51 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

I shouldn't make fun of Davis on the bases. He had to chugAchug to go from 1st to home. Brantly singles so there goes that.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 12:15 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Fish tie the game by doing fishy things in the Mets general direction. Ozuna was a fish outta water. Picked off! 1-1 after 3&1/2

Edgy MD Jun 08 2013 12:37 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

What if, after a little patience, love, and stumbles along the way, Lagares maybe turns out to be good? Any notion that he may be worth that kind of commitment?

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2013 12:44 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Marlins continue to be the best team I've seen this year ... based soley on games vs NYM

Fernandez has a tasty looking glove.

What I miss? Not that glove that I love seein on Wrights catch, just replayed. That was great seeing the looks on the fans faces. We have only 3 hits? Come on Mets!

That complaint is more accurate if you just go from 2009 to present: 44-37 which is exactly half of an 88-win season pace But this team is something completely different (and not in a Monty Python way). They're en-route to maybe challenging for the worst single-season record ever, yet when we see them they're not only winning but usually look good in doing so. They hit our guys including Harvey who nobody else hits; their pitchers shut us down completely, they run, they play D, and they take advantage of every break we give them. And this is the 10th game of the season already so it's not like we're talking about just one series. Hell, the Cardinals didn't look this good against us, neither did the Reds and lord knows the Yanx didn't either.

Edgy MD Jun 08 2013 01:17 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

They ain't gonna break no 1962 Mets records. There's talent on this team, if under-ripe. Was nothing on the 1962 Mets like this pitcher Miami threw at us today. Meanwhile and ominously unexpected exit for Harvey...

Zvon Jun 08 2013 01:17 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Harvey removed from the game. No word why.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 01:22 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Whatevers wrong it doesn't look apparent. Ronnie says maybe lower back, upper buttock.

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2013 01:28 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

And the worst part about the Harvey injury (well, maybe not the worst part, but the bad part for today) is that this is now a battle of the bullpens and, two batters in, we're already in trouble.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 01:28 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Edgy MD Jun 08 2013 01:35 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Seemed to be a festival of bad execution. Pierre, who I imagine is one of the top ten sac-bunters of all time, faked out his own runner by pulling the ball back so late. Buck almost lost the runner hung out there by throwing before he committed to a base. Then neither the lead runner worked to give the trailing runner as much time to break as possible, nor did the trailing runner break at all.

Edgy MD Jun 08 2013 01:36 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Tightness in the lower back for Harvey. Probably nothing. Possibly everything.

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2013 01:42 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

I agree with the PH factor here -- now the question is do you switch off of Turner to Ankiel or Jordany? I'd stick with the red head.

Depends upon platoon splits. I'm not sure, but I may go with Ankiel.

Since Swan doesn't seem to be here I'll say it for him: once again this team got its outs in the wrong order. If the fly outs to CF then RF had been in the opposite order we would have scored.

If the Marlins catcher lets that bunt drop they have an easy DP. Buck never moved I'm surprised Gary & Ron didn't say anything.

Buck leads off with a single. Nice. I wouldnt want to be his legs today. Laggy moves him into scoring position.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 04:25 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Holy smokes. Ankiel got beat bad.

Lefty Specialist Jun 08 2013 04:31 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

You kind of get the feeling that they'll never score another run, ever. Both teams will just collapse from exhaustion and call it a tie.

duan Jun 08 2013 04:31 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Ok, to give my brief story of this game. 5.50 pm, ask here is it likely to be on, ye say yes. MRS is in bed having nap, 3.5 year old daughter watching "Sofia the 1st" on TV 3 month old daughter snoozing. So, I'm tidying the kitchen and the like while watching the game. 6.45 visitors call to drop off a few bits, stop watching. 7.00 visitors gone, cooking dinner for the 3.5 year old (I say 3.5 she's almost 4 actually) 7.20 3.5 month old daughter eating dinner (penne with a ragu) I'm prepping bottle etc for 8pm feed 7.35 Far better half up, 7.50 start feed a few early, move to watching game on Apple TV 8.40 finished feed, bigger one is in bed. 9pm start prepping our own dinner, herself's working on computer so turn it off in main room and back on the iPad. 9.30 dinner ready to eat, turn off game. 10.30 finished dinner and come back in to tidy kitchen while herself gets back to work GAME STILL ON?????????? 11.25, started prepping next feed. SERIOUSLY. It'd be one thing if the game STARTED at a feed, like the 7pm ET ones do, but the game was 1.45 IN when I started the little lady's last feed. I'll be starting another one in about 35 mins!! What are the chances?

Zvon Jun 08 2013 04:31 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

I like the little things I'm seeing from Lagares, like that backup on the pop out to Murphy. Maybe he was a little too intense there but I still like it.

duan Jun 08 2013 04:35 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Ah, I only just saw that, the MLBTV delay is quite long on the Irish ipad tonight.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 04:39 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Then beware It would help if the Mets did things worth typing about.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 04:40 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

There's nothing to spoil.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 04:46 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Marcum mowing 'em down. Looking to the buttend of the order for the 8th time to win this thing now.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 04:50 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

oo, big lead off two bagger by Justin.

duan Jun 08 2013 04:52 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

I stopped and restarted to catch up and missed the double. Lagares has just popped up.

Ankiel is just brutal.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 05:04 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Hopefully this game will go on long enough for Nieuwenhuis's plane to get here from Vegas, then we can release Ankeil and PH Nieuwy next time up.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 05:08 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Now talk about Rick Camp Gary.

duan Jun 08 2013 05:13 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

right, about to do night feed. Chat again @ inning 23/24 ?

Kong76 Jun 08 2013 05:14 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Gotta like Marcum this afternoon/evening (so far).

Zvon Jun 08 2013 05:16 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

7 shutout innings from Marcum? Thats freakin amazin'. Whatever he does from here on out he will not get any blame from me. I salute him!

Kong76 Jun 08 2013 05:19 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Hope they can reward him with a W.

Gwreck Jun 08 2013 05:23 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

When do we send Marcum to right and bring Ankiel in to pitch?

Lefty Specialist Jun 08 2013 05:25 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Marcum is coming off an injury. You can't really expect him to go too much longer.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 05:31 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

He's in trouble here, but 103 pitches from Marcum? Yikes. And Miami takes the lead 2-1. If the Mets dont come back no one besides pitchers are getting any brew from me.

Kong76 Jun 08 2013 05:33 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Pushed him a little too far, I guess.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 05:36 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Shaun lined up for a loss. If they don't get him off the hook its a sad, sad state of affairs.

Kong76 Jun 08 2013 05:38 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

They can't beat the Marlins ... it's depressing.

Zvon Jun 08 2013 05:38 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Frayed Knot Jun 08 2013 05:49 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

The offensive incompetence is just stunning. 15 base-runners from the 9th thru 18th innings, a bunch of them reaching 2nd with no or one outs, and not one of them scored. You can't even script a run of failure that bad.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 08 2013 05:54 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

When it comes to Ankiel, I've not only gone over to Team GetThisFuckerOutOfTheUniformImmediately, I'm throwing my hat in the ring for team captain. I mean, at least Ike's young and useless.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 05:56 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

I mean, it was only a matter of time before Ankeil became part of the problem and not part of the solution. He swung and missed with some impressive spreads today.

Oh, I don't think subjectivity comes into it. At six hours-plus, with about 15 minutes of eyeworthy play, and a possible injury to our most valuable pitcher/player/commodity, today was absolutely, unequivocally a waste of time.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 06:11 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Well, I like baseball to accompany me while I eat lunch, run 7 miles, shower, slow-cook chicken on the grill, eat dinner, clean the cat box, play scrabble, etc and I got that all done with this stupid game happening today.

metirish Jun 08 2013 06:14 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

@Mets Prior t tomorrow's game ,the #Mets will recall outfielder Kirk Nieuenhuis from Las Vegas(AAA) and designate outfielder Rick Ankiel.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 08 2013 06:14 PM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Adam Rubin ?@AdamRubinESPN 1m Rick Ankiel is out with Mets. Been DFA'd. Kirk coming up.

Marlins are playing young kids who should probably be in the minors, and are letting them take their lumps at the major league level. And they've been kicking Mets ass while doing it.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 09 2013 04:12 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

I can't imagine that activating Charlie Puleo and putting him in left field would be at all helpful.

Frayed Knot Jun 09 2013 06:38 AM Re: IGT 6/8 Marlins vs Mets "Rain Rain Go Away"

Looking at the P-b-P data from yesterday [u:7upjpxsg]just for the potential game-winning ABs[/u:7upjpxsg] --9th inning or later with a runner on 2nd and/or 3rd-- IOW: without even getting into the times where an extra-base hit or, obviously, a HR would win the game, just those where maybe only a single or, in some cases, a good enough out would win the game. 9th inning -- K, BB, GO 10th -- Foul Out 12th -- Fly Out, Fly Out/DP 13th -- Foul Out, K 14th -- Ground Out 15th -- K, K 17th -- Fly Out, Pop-Out, K 18th -- K, Foul Out So not only is that 0-15 (plus a walk) w/RiSP ABs [u:7upjpxsg]just in game-winning situations alone[/u:7upjpxsg] (they were 0-19 overall) but only three times did they even manage to get the ball out of the infield (all Fly-Outs) and they were clever enough to turn those three into four outs. The other 12 RiSP ABs produced a stunning TWO ground-outs, FOUR infield pop-outs (three of them foul), and SIX Ks We have a new definition of the word Pathetic
