So on Friday, the Nats faced a young Mets starter with mid-90's electric stuff. Then in the nightcap they faced Harvey.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 03:18 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Since the June 16th double header when Harvey and Wheeler swept the Braves the Mets are 21-13. That was the start. If we can sweep the Nats today in this double header, this would be the hump. Now with Harvey going up against Ohlendorh I figure tonight is a sure thing. Ohlendorf has a ERA of 18.00 vs. the Mets. But we know there are no sure things with our Mets.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2013 03:20 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Ross Ohlendorf is the night cap's mound opponent -- he's the brainy right-hander from Princeton who was smart enough to get away from the Yanx a few years ago. Recently called up by the Nats after spending much of his career with Pittsburgh, 2012 in Sandy Eggo, and then the first half of this year in AAA Syracuse, he's made 1 start and 7 relief appearances for Washington giving up just 6 runs over 27 innings (2.03 ERA, 0.94 WHiP). He was last seen bailing out the Nats during Zimmermannn's last start when he got even more torched than today (pulled in the 2nd). Ohlendorf in that game threw six innings of relief work giving up two runs. He's started most of this year in the minors and most of his career so he shouldn't be on a short leash despite being mostly the long man since his call-up.

Wow. Shorty says Lagares is his centerfielder until further notice.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 05:20 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Apparently this Ross Ohlendorf is a different pitcher. He's the same guy, but a different pitcher.

Zvon wrote: Wow. Shorty says Lagares is his centerfielder until further notice. Good, I'd say he's earned it. But with the Mets saying they won't trade Byrd and Young also earning a spot (for now) this leaves few ABs to find out if any of the guys in AAA are the real deal this year.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 05:24 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Damn. Bad collision between Carrot Top and Brown on a pop up. Red took the worst of it, and held onto the ball.

They had lost 10 of 12 going into the Kirk Niuewenhuis game (so let it be written, so let it be done), including two sweeps by the Marlins, and were on the verge of getting swept by the Cubs with what, up until the ninth-inning rally, was just looking like a terrible effort.

We have no idea where we are really going but that can be the start.

I'm in the car en route to dc . Heard mfys go down 6-0 in the 2nd between innings. Go Muffy

Zvon Jul 26 2013 05:55 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

He better not be. Harveys last pitch that inning (Ks Span) clocked at 98. And it looked faster than that.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 06:01 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Satin drives one off the outfield wall and soft shoes it to second for a 1 out double.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 06:07 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Buck drives in Satin with his own double to the left field wall. Keep it goin. Everybody doubles today!

Lagares hits one 400 feet but it finds a glove up the outfield wall. Wasn't gonna clear it. Nice catch, Span.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 06:35 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Harvey gives up a broken bat bloop single to Werth then walks Desmond. No out.

Holy shit, what a great play by Turnip and Muffy throws it away, no DP, Nats tie it. Damn, that DP would have been just as good as the one thats the current top play on ESPNs top plays.

Great play by Turner but wow, murphy fucked that up a dozen ways... He had time to set and throw, but even if not you can't make a wild throw there... Just put the ball in your pocket and let Harvey face the pitcher with the lead still intact!!

Fman99 Jul 26 2013 06:42 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Yet another game not on TV at my house, thanks to FIOS. I'm switching back to Time Warner, I'm tired of this foolishness.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 06:47 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Murphy got the force and he had plenty of time. The throw hits the runner as hes coming up the first baseline and the ball deflects into fair territory. I thought that was gonna keep the run from scoring but it didn't.

Ha! Zimmerman sucks. He sucked earlier but I let him slide.

Zvon wrote: Ha! Zimmerman sucks. He sucked earlier but I let him slide. He has the rep of a good fielder (which he once was) but the statute of limitations ran out on that one years ago. Nats fans act as if he's still good but his glove is shaky and his arm has never recovered from shoulder problems.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:07 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Thank you LaRoche. He fields a bunt by Harvey I'm pretty damn sure was gonna go foul, and Browns in scoring position. 1 out. Lagares.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:14 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Lagares going for the fences now that he got the gig? He hit another to deep center. Don't be changing to try and please us Laggy. Just do what you do, and do it well. Wright strands two with a foul out to end the Mets 7th.

Edgy MD Jul 26 2013 07:19 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Man, those double plays can really take the air out the ballpark.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:21 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Q tells Murph "Ill make the throw myself, tyvm" and Matt gets a nice DP. Harvey at 84 pitches. O'dorf 114. Stammen up in the Nats pen.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2013 07:22 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Clippard is one of these relievers that really slams the brakes on a game pacing-wise; lots of pitches and lots of time between each.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:23 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Ha! Zimmerman unsucks! Thats a first. Off Scorer takes back one of his errors.

Matt takes the mound in the 8th. Keep everything in order Mattman. And then SCORE SOME RUNS METS! Make believe he's Wheeler or something. Get Harvey a win! If Harvey shits the bed this half this message will self destruct.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:31 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Hairy Harper to pinch hit.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:40 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

That is probably it for Harvey. Due to bat this inning. 99 pitches. If we are going to score some more runs lets start now.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:45 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Brown joins the double club! And that was close. DO IT IKE!

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:46 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Wild pitch, Brown to 3rd. 1 out.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:50 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Ike walks, Lagares pops out foul to 1st. Damn. Well, couldnt ask for more than having Murphy up here. 2 out, two on.

Fman99 Jul 26 2013 07:50 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

I can't read updates in this thread, because I'm a good 3-4 minutes behind the actual game play on the XM broadcast, but I will say, Josh and Howie are great broadcasters. I don't get to see it happening but it's a nice change of pace to let them paint the picture.

Frayed Knot Jul 26 2013 07:52 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

And once again the outs come in the wrong order. Flip the pop-out and the fly=out and we're in the lead here.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 07:53 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Murphy flies out to center. Gah. Did Gary say that this would be Matts 11th no decision? Did I hear that right?

Felt like every Harvey start there. As much as Hawkins, blame the offense for this one. They shot their load earlier today and forgot to show up tonight.

Zvon Jul 26 2013 08:05 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

Its games like this that make me wonder why I take the Mets serious. You get a pitching performance like that in the second game of a big double header against a division rival and you can't support the pitcher with runs. They have been scoring more lately, but obviously, not enough. This one knocked a bit of wind out of my sails.

bmfc1 Jul 26 2013 10:20 PM Re: NYM @ WAS 7/26/13 Game 2

In the first game, there were two guys with Recker jerseys and with them was a kid with a Recker tee shirt. My son and I said that they had to be relatives. When Recker doubled and scored, they were taking pictures. I had to go see them and ask... it was Anthony Recker's father, brother, aunt and cousin, there from Pennsylvania. John Recker, the Dad, walked by later and we talked for a few minutes. This was on a par with meeting Dillon Gee's wife (when Lefty Specialist was visiting). Between games we went to Starbucks and in walks Guys!
