IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

G-Fafif Aug 06 2013 01:29 PM

The Wilmer Flores era begins... Eric Young, Jr. – LF Daniel Murphy – 2B Marlon Byrd – RF Ike Davis – 1B Juan Lagares – CF Wilmer Flores – 3B John Buck – C Omar Quintanilla – SS Jenrry Mejia – RHP

Benjamin Grimm Aug 06 2013 01:42 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Ike Davis batting cleanup. Sheesh.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 01:42 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Mets history! Yay!

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 02:46 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

That's a weird-assed lineup. I'd think Murphy-Byrd-Davis going 3-4-5 through the lineup is where I'd start, but there aren't a lot of good choices. Maybe they're hoping tonight's the night to send Ike a message.

Ashie62 Aug 06 2013 02:50 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Without Wright these three need to wallop to get us near 81 wins.. And when that happens Mgmt will put Harvey on an inning cap..oye

Zvon Aug 06 2013 05:15 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Ha! Fowler sucks. Nice play by Buck but if he didn't get that guy as far off as he was he should pull himself from the game, and the position.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 05:16 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

And forth my mimic comes. When they him spy, As wild geese that the creeping fowler eye, Suck it, creeping fowler.

Ashie62 Aug 06 2013 05:22 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Go Wilmer go!!!

Zvon Aug 06 2013 05:29 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Hey, that was a good piece of hitting by Ike. Don't deny it. Laggy drives in 2 with a TriBOOM!

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 05:29 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Se๑or Doble is now Se๑or Triple!

Zvon Aug 06 2013 05:32 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

A tap out by Wilmer. Oh yea, happy birthday rook. In the very least you are now part of Met trivia.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 05:53 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Was that Fred Wilpon behind the cage during the 'bunting practice' clip?

Zvon Aug 06 2013 06:11 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Ike with a lucky bloop pop up seeing eye double. And Tulo might be hurt.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 06:23 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Mejia already with seven strikeouts through four. I swear he was running off the mound before Cuddyer was done swinging there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2013 06:23 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Lotsa Jenrrosity out there tonight. A first-to-seventh-inning guy.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 06:27 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Tulo not hurt enough, stays in. Mejia pitching a fine game so far. 1 hit, 7Ks, 1 BB in 4 innings. Wilmer pops out to left with a nice sliding catch by the Rocky guy.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 06:32 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Did I just see Gee and Harvey giving each other a titty twister?

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 06:35 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Gotta make that play, Iko. That was a DP ball.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 06:36 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

I'll say it. Muffy has become a defensive asset. A modest asset, but an asset nonetheless.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 06:36 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Oy, Ike. That may have come up a little on the 2nd hop contrary to Keiths beliefs. It costs us a run as the next Rock hits a sac fly, but a very nice DP ends it there.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 06:51 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Shit. That's scary. Home plate ump hit in the throat by a foul ball. He looks okay for the most part but will leave the game.

Fman99 Aug 06 2013 06:51 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Home plate ump caught a foul ball right in the throat. Now we're on the "changing umpire protective gear" delay.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2013 07:03 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Even the games we play that are moving along quickly get the brakes slammed on them by unforeseen circumstances.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:06 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

awwww fk me, first batter for the Rockies after the delay goes yard. 2-2

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 07:06 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

That's what happens when a pitcher takes a long rest. I blame Buck, just because.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:07 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Edgy MD wrote: I blame Buck, just because. ha. Ronnies right. Why wasn't he soft tossing, staying loose? Darn fool kid.

Fman99 Aug 06 2013 07:11 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Flores boots one at 3B. C'mon, you SHaMs.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:11 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Wilmers first ever chance becomes his first ever error. Great.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:12 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Well, that ones outta the way. Keep your head in the game rook.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 07:14 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

We need to go hook him.

Fman99 Aug 06 2013 07:14 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:15 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Bases full O' Rocks and Mejia will get the hook.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:18 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Yea, show em that arm Lagares!

Fman99 Aug 06 2013 07:18 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Torres induces the shallow pop up to center. One out left to get for Torres.

Fman99 Aug 06 2013 07:18 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

WOW WHAT A CATCH BY YOUNG!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2013 07:19 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

I gotta say it. I like Eric Young Junior.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2013 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

He still plays too damn deep but that catch makes up for it - in that case anyway.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:21 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Master Young with the masterful catch gets us out of it. Very nice.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 07:22 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Young, man. Minus the seven weeks before the Mets got him, he's been everything we could have hoped for from Michael Bourne, hasn't he?

themetfairy Aug 06 2013 07:22 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

That was a Schaefer deserving catch by EY!

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 07:23 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

So, how about this pitcher wearing zero? Bring out the grumpy the old man in you or what?

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 07:25 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Davis reaching 11 times in 13 appearances. batdavisleadoff!

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 07:34 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Keith just asked if Olerud has a shot at the Hall of Fame. Not until you get in, buddy! They're forgetting all about Jeff Kent.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 07:35 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Between Culberson and Flores, I'm starting to thing Ron Darling's 1980s salon mullet is coming back.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:38 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Two runs in the first and nothing since. This is getting oooooold.

Ive been excited about Young since the minute he took the field for us and played as well as he did. Between him and Laggy, and maybe even Byrd, this changes the whole deal in the off season as to what we need to improve the team.

Fman99 Aug 06 2013 07:55 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Assuming that those three guys continue to play at this level, if we had an opening day OF of Young in LF, Lagares in CF and Byrd in RF I would be fine with that. Look for a SS or a 1B on the free agent market.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 07:56 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Byrd with another really nice catch. In a way Im just as excited over Byrd as I am Young. He has been so solid.

What SS's are available?

Quintanilla will be available, I think.

You know, I bet the Mets take a sniff around Jhonny Peralta.

A dead hop and a fast Young equals a Met lead.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 08:17 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

So who closes?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2013 08:19 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Juan Lagares, devastating middle-of-the-order slugger.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 08:20 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

I'm OK with Hawkins in the chamber. Just keep an Aardsma and a Feliciano in the clip.

Edgy MD Aug 06 2013 08:22 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

How grating must Young's play tonight be for fans watching from Colorady?

You don't see diving catches in foul territory by infielders all that often.

Zvon Aug 06 2013 08:33 PM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Ike closes it with more leather. Good game!

smg58 Aug 07 2013 05:36 AM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

The way Ike is drawing walks, don't they have to start throwing him more fastballs soon? (PS his OPS since the ASB is 1.056). I'm sure Mookie Wilson had a big smile in the eighth inning last night.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2013 06:37 AM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

Yeah, maybe if this year can't be 1973, perhaps it can be 1983. I wonder what the dates were on Mookie's two mad dashes from second on George Foster grounders.

G-Fafif Aug 07 2013 06:56 AM Re: IGT 8/6/2013: COL @ NYM: Welcome to Floral Park

July 31 and August 3.
