NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 05:49 AM

[youtube:5rygk35z]SxPbyBeURHs[/youtube:5rygk35z] Don't hafta say it, but Big Game! We shouldn't expect the world from Mejia, but would be nice if we could contribute to Jordan Zimmermann's recent struggles. Feel better about this game taking place today than on June 6 when it was originally scheduled.

Lets sweep this shit and end their season early!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 09:20 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Young was originally in the lineup but late scratch with knee issues. Lagares - CF Murphy - 2B Wright - 3B Byrd - RF Davis - 1B Brown - LF Recker - C Quintanilla - SS Mejia - RHP

Muffy hits his first home run since 2009, 1-0

Zvon Jul 26 2013 11:39 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Zvon Jul 26 2013 11:39 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

That was a shot.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 26 2013 11:40 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Hit a long way, yes.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 11:48 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Mejia whiffs Harper. Nice start!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 26 2013 11:49 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

One batter and all, but... he made Harper look silly. And it wasn't just the stuff, too-- he set him up with a fastball in, then moved outside, then struck him out with breaking stuff down-and-in (Harper's wheelhouse, apparently).

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 26 2013 11:52 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Lombardozzi and ZimmOne work singles on good inside pitches-- Zimmerman getting sawed off at the bat handle-- and Mejia's got some stew to simmer down here.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 11:53 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

I hope when he was visualizing his start Mejia looked beyond Harper. BIG K of LaCockaRoche

Gets Werth 0-2 on two swing-and-misses, then induces the roller to Murphy. I counted five (Good Lord!) swing-and-miss strikes in that inning. I'm not sure if it's because it's been so long since we saw him last (and, of course, SSS and all) but Oh Jenrry looks like a completely different, better guy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 11:57 AM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Mejia strands two on base in the first. Very excited about this game. It's almost like I have early strain of 'pennant fever' More like "screw-this-up-and-you-won't-get-pennant-fever fever"

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr wrote: I counted five (Good Lord!) swing-and-miss strikes in that inning. I like the strikes that are in a spot that even if hit they weren't gonna be slugged. If he can keep close to the strike zone and away from the bats he's gonna be fine. I liked the control I'm seeing.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 26 2013 12:09 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Four up, three down (with an infield hit off David Wright's arm in there). Kid continues looking good. As Z said, the control-- mostly strikes, mostly on/around the edges-- is notable.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 12:16 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Lagares doubles with 2 out.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 12:17 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

I don't know about you guys but I find 14 doubles for Laggy with his limited playing time to be very impressive.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 12:20 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Whoa Muffy has hit his second HR since 2009!! 3-0

Zvon Jul 26 2013 12:20 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Wow.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 26 2013 12:21 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

MURPH SMASH!

Wright wrobbed at the fence.

MURPH TAG! MURPH THROW! MURPH WANT ALL THE SCHAEFER!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 12:49 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

What number is Mejia wearing? Hawkins has his old 32.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: What number is Mejia wearing? Hawkins has his old 32. Whats it to you? Oh yea.... Number 58. I apologize in advance for making Muffy stand out in the Shea parking lot for his most recent KaBOOMs? I wanted the Shea stands to be behind him and that's the only way I could get it done.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 01:01 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

He was NEVER a 32. Thanks!

Zvon Jul 26 2013 01:05 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Laggy walking in a game is as rare as Muffy smackin 2 KaBOOMs. Laggy steals a base for the first time and Zimm is afraid of Daniel, as well he should be. Murphy rips another but it don't fall in due to Harpers bazaar catch.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 01:11 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Sheesh. Is Harper an attention whore? Hey kid, if you're hurt sit down. Take the rest of the day off. Please?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 26 2013 01:15 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

See, Zachary? Pitching five without incident or stress ain't a big thing, right?

Mejia looking gooooooood

Six scoreless. Muy bien.

Recker wrecks the outfield wall for a lead off double in the 7th.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 01:40 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Lagares with a RBI single. 4-zip.

Nice. Lagares drives in Reck with a 2 out single up the middle. Knocks Zimm outta there. From facebook via New York Mets Memes:

Let's chew this bullpen up.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 01:46 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Murph drives in another with a seeing eye single to center. Hellz yea! And we got two games today? I hope the same Met team shows up tonight.

Murphy sez: 'I laugh in the face of your Lefty-switches Davey'

Edgy MD Jul 26 2013 01:48 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

I have to say, I thought the better plan was to start Harvey in game one, get the Nats all tenderized and discouraged-like for Mejia. Maybe it was the better plan anyhow, but I can't argue with the results. Love getting a piece of the opponents' pen at the start of a series.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 01:49 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Mejia up to 84 pitches as he takes the mound in the 7th.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 02:03 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Mejia done for the day. Great job! 0 runs, 7 hits, 7 Ks. I'm going to try to not get too excited until we see him pitch a few more times.

Rice gets the mound, Newy gets left.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 02:18 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Rice with a real nice 8th. 9 pitches. Sweet DP.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2013 02:21 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Scott Hairston into the game. Sandy Alderson remembers out loud that the Mets went in a different direction. Raises his hand for a high five. Everybody in his box looks away and leaves him hanging.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2013 02:22 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Look at Rice taking care of the RHBs (3 outs from 2 batters) after the leadoff single to the lefty

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 26 2013 02:25 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Lagares doubling once every 8 ABs.

Thats okay. Murph likes rib eye steak singles too. 6-0 Mets 5 Ribbys for Dan.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 02:35 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Wright gets in on the act. 7-0. Hey, save the next seven for tonight.

Exciting win. Mejia with a great performance. Murphy is hotter than the month and Ike possibly gets his groove thing back. DO IT AGAIN TONIGHT!

Sorry, Turner, but you've got to start Murph in Game Two.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 03:19 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

From a pre-game article on CBSsportsline: Zimmermann is 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA in his last seven starts versus New York (45-53). Daniel Murphy and Ike Davis are a combined 2 for 29 against him since 2012.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2013 03:22 PM Re: NYM @ WAS, 7/26/13 Game 1

Just goes to show you how wrong stats are ... except when they're right of course.
