Lets get one!!!

Man, Lance Lynn. I just have inexplicable antipathy for so many of these Cardinals. Meanwhile, God has intervened. And will not let Bartolo Colon bat eighth. [list=1:3ggp3gav][*:3ggp3gav]E.

I'm setting the over/under at 15 Mets runs and taking the over.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 11:17 AM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Matt dD tweets a shot of his hose before the game. Goodness, we are going to win by a huge margin today.

Ceetar Jun 18 2014 11:56 AM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

leadoff homerun. poo. aww well, first inning runs usually means you lose right? that's what I've been trained to expect.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 18 2014 11:57 AM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

With those hose of MDD's, you really should expect the best.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 12:18 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

A walk for Grandy and a hit for Tea. And that's all the scratch we've got through three. Matt den Dekker's socks, we call on your powers NOW!!!!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 18 2014 12:29 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Here's a shocker, Muffy thrown out on the basepaths again.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 12:30 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

At least when Wright tries to do too much, he's a zero. When Muffy tries to overdo it, he subtracts.

He occasionally gets over-aggressive, but that's like saying a guy occasionally gets thrown out stealing so he should never steal. It's a net-positive.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 12:42 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Yes, well, I wasn't speaking of in the net. I was speaking about specific instances of trying to do too much to rescue a slumping team.. Murphy is certainly an asset and a half, in the net.

Murphy is certainly an asset and a half, in the net. I think he's easy to identify specific instances where it seems like that but hard to prove. Perhaps it's simply the other way. Murphy's playing the same way and the games where the Mets don't win are the ones where he doesn't make it. Where someone misses a sign, where a diving catch doesn't catch the ball. Weaker offenses are going to tend to play closer games where one bad break could be the difference?

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 12:49 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Three Cards down End of four Chris Young up Time to score!

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 12:53 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Searching for moral victories here.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2014 12:56 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Doesn't help that we're about 2-for-8 on hard-hit balls so far today. Nor does the fact that we've turned two of the four base-runners they have managed to get back into outs.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2014 01:00 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Five complete innings in under an hour and a quarter ... is that even allowed these days?

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 01:01 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Certainly not the moral victory I'm looking for, but Bartolo is probably your best bet if you want a fast game. Speeds things up during his at-bats, too.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2014 01:01 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Leadoff double for Colon. Now all we need is three or four more hits this inning to get him in.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 01:02 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

AND HOLY SHIT!! Bart doubles and comes around to score!

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2014 01:05 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Gee & Mejia still hitless among NYM pitchers with at least double digits ABs (14 & 16)

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 01:05 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Both of them may be "in the clubhouse" with those numbers, so to speak. Let's pick this one up.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 18 2014 01:06 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Here we go again.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 01:07 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

OK, Mets in command! Now what we need is the old four-inning, one-run save.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2014 01:08 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Three outs at 2B in half-a-game It's not helping matters when we only require the opposing staff to only retire 20-something hitters per game instead of the full 27

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 01:12 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

If Wright doesn't get thrown out, we'd have Lynn chased by now. Chris Young, talk to me, buddy.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 01:15 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

I retroactively want to sent Abreu up there.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 18 2014 01:16 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

This is the kinda dumb shit that should get Terry fired. Having less talent than the other team is one thing but no excuse for the mental errors.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2014 01:17 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

That, btw, was the 2nd run scored by Bartolo in his career, the first since 2002 w/Montreal.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 01:19 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

It sure would be nice to know that he's (Terry) coming down on his team over it (the mental errata).

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2014 01:20 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Don't really think any of today's stuff were mental errors (yesterday was another story). Murph took a decent chance but got thrown out on a nice play/throw by Jay in CF. Granderson's was just a straight steal attempt (would have helped had CYoung not swung through another pitch) and Wright was safe but then bounced off the base with his slide.

Eric Young was leading off for the Brewers. Mike DeJean finished the game for the Brewers. Fast forward to 2005 and DeJean gave up the last Bartolo hit while with the Mets.

Seth Maness, huh? Mets used to have and Eric Maness grinding it in the minors. Same family?

Colon getting his bunts down? EY finding his stroke? Cubs and Cardinal living together?!!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 18 2014 01:34 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Eric Young is formless, shapeless. HE CANNOT BE CONTAINED.

Well, I'm whistling Wright. That was one where, even though it never went to replay, the existence of the replay rule likely caused the out call because it certainly would have been reversed upon review had the Cards challenged it. David just slid a bit late and hit the bag kind of hard and awkwardly then couldn't do the right-foot/left-foot switch quickly enough.

Benjamin Grimm Jun 18 2014 01:45 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Bartolo: Only 76 pitches through 7 innings. I'd like to see him finish this game.

Through 8, only 80-some pitches, retired 13 of the last 14 ... let him stay in!!!!!

Benjamin Grimm Jun 18 2014 01:58 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Bartolo: 86 pitches through 8 innings.

With all due respect Jason Motte, I'd really love to see this heat make your beard spontaneously combust on the mound.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 02:02 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

A lot of Civil War re-enactors in beisbol these days.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 02:03 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

And Abreu steps up to bat for Colon. Strap in, peeps.

What the hell. He was hot!

Edgy MD Jun 18 2014 02:09 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Am'n I reading correctly? den Dekker not replacing Young in center? den Dekker not replacing Young in left? den Dekker not replacing Young in center who in turn isn't sliding over to replace Young in left? Tejada not replacing Flores? Recker not replacing Teagarden? Campbell not replacing... SOMEBODY?!!! I need to replace my underpants!

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 18 2014 02:10 PM Re: IGT 6/18 Mets @ Cards Colon v. Lynn Daygame

Leadoff double in the bottom 9th. Of course.

Thanks for not walking the leadoff hitter, Jenrry. Oh, wait.

Josh making it seem as though the plan was to allow 2 runners so as to exploit Holliday's double-play tendencies.
