IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Edgy MD May 06 2014 07:42 PM

Zack Wheeler puts his 5.13 ERA on the line against Tom Koehler, whose ERA is less than half that. At least I think it is. I didn't go to Stony Brook, so I don't know. The Marlins sideliney woman was asking us to tweet in suggestions for Derek Dietrich's walkup music. I think we should storm them with "La Vie en Rose." Mets will win. Mets. Big.

seawolf17 May 06 2014 07:50 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

So very conflicted about this game.

d'Kong76 May 06 2014 08:17 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Root with heart you will young seawolf, and conflicted not you will feel at end.

Edgy MD May 07 2014 06:13 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

I have a theory that their bioclocks can catch up with the brutal travel schedule just in time for them to grab this game.

seawolf17 May 07 2014 07:31 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Nope. Still conflicted. I'm going to do what I always do, which is root for eight shutout innings from TK and then a crapton of Met runs in the ninth off the pen.

Vic Sage May 07 2014 08:19 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

good plan; i'm in.

Edgy MD May 07 2014 08:54 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Lagares is in center, so let fans all be attentive Murphy is at second, where he muffs, but is inventive Wright of course, is there at third, his arm be like a cannon Granderson plays right because we paid him lots of mammon Young's in left, no not that Young — this one is the other Duda plays at first because we banished Ike, his brother Recker catches day games and he gives me palpitations Tejada plays at short despite the fan base protestations Wheeler deals today — I hope he soars to his potential Something 'bout a Mets day game is just so quintessential

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2014 09:28 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Ogden Nash would be proud of that.

Hope Koehler stinks it up like a bad urinal mint! Yelich, LF Dietrich, 2B Stanton, RF McGehee, 3B Jones, 1B Ozuna, CF Hechavarria, SS Mathis, C Koehler, P

We need wins! If my kid was pitching I'd root for the home team. (of course, I wouldn't tell him)

Rice's back hurts so much he cannot lift his arm, Roobie says. I suppose if he still can't move it Thursday we're going to see Dana Eveland or Darren Gorski or John Edgin or some shit up here for the Phils.

Edgy MD May 07 2014 10:53 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Two injuried pennies at once? Terry's gonna ride Matsuzaka and Torres hard the next couple of days. We are under way, scoreless into the top of the second.

Edgy MD May 07 2014 11:11 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Here we go... Wheeler at the bat.

Edgy MD May 07 2014 11:11 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

31 pitches thru 3 for Wheeler. Bet he's never been that low before.

This is an economical little series we've got going here.

Two more innings at a pace that's brisk, baby.

Frayed Knot May 07 2014 11:45 AM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Koehler being just as good and as efficient as Wheeler.

Frayed Knot wrote: 31 pitches thru 3 for Wheeler. Bet he's never been that low before. It then takes him 50 pitches just to get through innings 4 & 5 - but the scoreboard is still unblemished so it's OK. Would have been nice, though, had he not walked Mathis w/2 outs and left himself with the pitcher leading off the 6th

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 07 2014 12:02 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Wheeler Ks again in the sixth (in somewhat-BS-y fashion, but still).

Frayed Knot May 07 2014 12:20 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

I suspect the walk to McGehee was semi-intentional but still, four walks in a six batter span ins't a good sign and he needed more than twice as many pitches to get through innings 4-6 six (73) than it did for him to get through 1-3 (31)

JUMPING JEHOSEPHAT A MET BASERUNNER

Edgy MD May 07 2014 12:32 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Wheeler packs it in after 104 pitches. I dunno. I'd've given him a shot at another inning. It's Florida, man.

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2014 12:36 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

I think if I was a manager, and my pitcher had a cold dead hand, I'd be sure to take him out of the game. I see that nobody else seems to know what that C stands for on the MLB.com scoreboard.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 07 2014 12:41 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

"Challenges remaining," I'd imagine. Following the hit/sac... Abreu on to hit, Satin in the on-deck circle, more subs coming in the ninth. When Terry uses his bench, he really uses his bench.

Abreu looked like he was in control of that at-bat, right up until he was headed to the bench. SUNYboy over here, man.

I went to a New York City school. I have pride when my sister and brother Jaspers succeed and do great things. But if and when young men from alma mater play for teams other than the Mets, or worse, directly thwart Met ambitions, I label these men as TRAITORS. Because that's what they are. Hey, look, Reed Johnson is still playing.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 07 2014 12:55 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

These guys throwing pitches for our team, though? They're PROFESSIONAL RELIEVERS.

Frayed Knot May 07 2014 12:56 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Nice relievin' so far. But whoever gets the 9th inning is going to have to deal with Stanton and even worse (for this week anyway) McGehee.

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2014 01:12 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Bottom of the ninth, two on, nobody out. Terry should signal for the triple play here.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 07 2014 01:14 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

This is the kind of move that's going to get the fans even more against Farnie than they already are.

Edgy MD May 07 2014 01:15 PM Re: IGT 5/7, Mets vs. Marlins

Winning run on third and signalling for Farnie instead. Yikey.
