So what's this about Miami Manatees?

Ceetar Aug 01 2013 08:38 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

quick turnaround, perhaps Buck is leaving for paternity after the game and Centeno is going to NY or going with the team to NY?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 08:48 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Whatever, just be sure to credit 62.

Frayed Knot Aug 01 2013 08:56 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Turner in for Murph rather than Q surprises me.

"What's a Seawolf? I'm a Seawolf." Rooting for eight scoreless for Koehler, then a twelve-run ninth inning off the Marlins' bullpen.

Kong76 Aug 01 2013 10:56 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

We're now talking about how Ike is fouling off pitches he would have missed in the beginning of the season in the booth. It's sad ... swing and miss, two men left on.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 11:25 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Single, walk, HBP loads bases with 2 out for Ike. PS -- Eff this Stony Brook guy.

Kong76 Aug 01 2013 11:27 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 11:27 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Fouls out to 3B. Eff Ike Davis.

Kong76 Aug 01 2013 11:30 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

He's left 5 men on through three .. could be a longggg day.

bmfc1 Aug 01 2013 11:30 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Ike had one good week in the minors and was recalled to the Mets. He's pretty much what he was before being sent down, with a few more walks. Tejada and JV are hitting in the minors but you don't see them recalled. The Mets should have left Satin in the lineup (remember how hot he was?) and told Ike that he needed to perform well for a month.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 11:43 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Lagares triples with 1 out.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 11:44 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

oo, Laggys got balls. Turns a double into a triple. I thought he was gonna be a dead duck.

Kong76 Aug 01 2013 11:46 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

He wobbled around second like a duck ... stranded.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 11:50 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 11:51 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Squinty's defense going down the tubes as well.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 11:51 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

If Qs gonna do shit like that he's become useless.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 11:54 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

They strand Stanton. I forgive Q.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 12:02 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Tyrna walks, on base for the 3rd time, Wright singles, 2 on 1 out for Byrd. Ike on deck.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 12:04 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Unfuckingbelieveable doubleplay.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 12:05 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

UGH! Great diving catch in center gets Wright doubled off.

Kong76 Aug 01 2013 12:05 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

At least Ike didn't get the LOB!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 12:27 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

5 walks, 5 hits off this poorly educated Miami pitcher but we've hardly mounted a threat.

metsguyinmichigan Aug 01 2013 12:36 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

It must drive Harvey crazy that he has to throw a shutout to get a chance at a W.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 12:39 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

For the sake of my own sanity I need to see the Marlins strand runners on the corners with no out. Theres one out :)

metsmarathon Aug 01 2013 12:39 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

i imagine that to an extent he thrives upon it.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 12:41 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Matt vs. Stanton. OO, huge K!

Zvon Aug 01 2013 12:45 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 01 2013 12:46 PM

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 12:45 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

There goes the shutout. Maybe we can get a few guys on next inning and hit into a DP then run out of PHers.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 01 2013 12:47 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

That sounds like a plan.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2013 12:49 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

"Every pitcher in baseball who faces Matt Harvey They all become Koufax or Gomez or Spahn "I'm pitching eight innings, and strike out a dozen I thought I found vict'ry, than whoops! she was gone..."

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 12:53 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

On the upside, Harvey has extra time to make his magazine shoot tonight in Miami.

seawolf17 Aug 01 2013 12:57 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Shit. Now Koehler's in line for the W, which means I'm conflicted again.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2013 12:58 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Oh, this is so on you. SO on you.

i need SOMETHING to root for this year, and as a SBU alum, its not like we've got a bunch of pro athlete alums to cheer for. It's this guy and Joe Nathan, and that's pretty much it for the history of the school.

Kong76 Aug 01 2013 01:28 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Run suppport, gee that never occurred to me ..

seawolf17 Aug 01 2013 01:29 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

I think we'll see Travis Jankowski and Nick Tropeano at some point in the next couple of years too. And the guy we just had sign a three-year deal with the Eagles.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 01:46 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Inspiring 9th inning comeback begins with a Squinty single, now Muffy batting for The Germenator.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 01:46 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Down goes Muffy.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2013 01:47 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

GAet that tying run to the plate, Eric Young.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2013 01:47 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

That didn't quite do it. But way to hustle anyhow.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 01:47 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Young tries to hit into game-ending DP but saved by his speed.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 01:49 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Aug 01 2013 01:49 PM

So the Mets have not been shutout for quite a while and this suckass Miami team is gonna pull it off. Lets see if Turner agrees.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2013 01:49 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Give life, Turner, not death.

Edgy MD Aug 01 2013 01:50 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Damn, I hates closers.

Zvon Aug 01 2013 01:50 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

He does.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 01 2013 01:50 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Thanks for nothing.

seawolf17 Aug 01 2013 02:37 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Okay, this one's on me. ... AND ON TOM FUCKING KOEHLER, BABY. "Big right-hander from the northeast pitching six shutout innings in Miami today for the W? Yep, that's me."

Zvon Aug 01 2013 03:04 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

His first win at home this season. Gets it, of course, vs. the Muts.

Ashie62 Aug 01 2013 06:15 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

Eric Young is not long term OF answer... Juan Lagares is.. I was feeling really good about this team and then come Atlanta, Washington and then the fish.. I believe I will be rooting for players to make numbers from here on... Why is Ike still on this team? Is his head the far up Collin's ass?

Edgy MD Aug 01 2013 06:58 PM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matine

Can you please speak to the relative short- and long-terminess of Young and Lagares? How long do you believe Young will be productive and why? How long Lagares and why?

Vic Sage Aug 02 2013 08:50 AM Re: IGT, 8/1 --- Miami Matinee

i need SOMETHING to root for this year, and as a SBU alum, its not like we've got a bunch of pro athlete alums to cheer for. It's this guy and Joe Nathan, and that's pretty much it for the history of the school. Not only that, but Koehler is from New Rochelle, too... he went to my daughter's HS. And he's a native NYer. And he was born in the magical year of 1986. How can i not root for this guy? Can't i get like a special dispensation under these circumstances? I throw myself on the mercy of the court.

Edgy MD wrote: Can you please speak to the relative short- and long-terminess of Young and Lagares? How long do you believe Young will be productive and why? How long Lagares and why? Yeah, i'm not sure i get that either. It's not like Young is old. He's 28, coming into the prime of his career, and we don't know his ceiling since he's never been given a full-time major league job, despite showing flashes in Colorado and here. Lagares is younger (24) with obvious physical tools, but his minor league production has not been extraordinary (too many Ks, not enough BBs or HRs or SBs), nor was his major league production impressive either, until about 2+ weeks ago. Sure, he has the upside of any 24-year old physically talented athlete, and i hope his current success continues, but i don't know at all that a guy who has had almost no experience above AA ball is going to have a superior career to an experienced 28-year old with some limited major-league success already to his credit.
