IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2015 11:43 AM

I had forgotten this IGT was on me, mainly because I a) start so few IGTs and b) win even fewer In fact I think yesterday's win via my IGT brings my winning total over the last two seasons to somewhere around one. 7:10 PM Syndergaard vs Mark Buehrle Buehrle is now 36 y/o in his 16th season of ML ball notable for several things: 215 wins, 14 consecutive seasons of 30 or more starts (read that one again folks), two career no-hitters (one a perfect game), and being perhaps the quickest worker in MLB This season he's 7-4 w/a 4.25 ERA. He's a soft-tosser by today's standards who tends to give up his share of hits (>1/IP) and strikes out very few (~4 per/9 IP) but compensates by keeping his walks down (usually between 1 and 2 per/9 IP).

Toronto at NY Mets When: 7:10 PM ET, Monday, June 15, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets boast a young pitching staff that is the envy of most of major-league baseball. That staff will get its toughest test on Monday, when the Toronto Blue Jays and their major league-best offense visit for the start of a four-game, home-and-home interleague series. The Blue Jays put up 31 runs in a three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox over the weekend and topped it off with a 13-5 victory on Sunday that pushed their winning streak to 11 straight. Toronto is averaging eight runs in that span and showed off the power up and down the lineup with home runs from the likes of Ryan Goins and Danny Valencia in Sunday’s triumph. The Mets took two of three from the Atlanta Braves over the weekend and are clinging to a half-game lead in the National League East. New York showcased its own offense with four home runs in Sunday’s 10-8 victory – its first double-digit scoring output in nearly a month. TV: 7:10 p.m. ET, SNET (Toronto), SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays LH Mark Buehrle (7-4, 4.25 ERA) vs. Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (2-4, 4.15) Buehrle is making his third straight start against an NL East team after allowing two runs and eight hits over six innings in a no-decision against Miami on Tuesday. The veteran scattered six hits in a shutout of the Washington Nationals in his previous turn. Buehrle has yet to earn a win against the Mets, owning a 0-3 record with a 4.39 ERA in four starts. The Blue Jays will be getting their first look at Syndergaard, who started his career in the Toronto system before heading over to the Mets in the trade that brought R.A. Dickey to Canada. Syndergaard was on the wrong end of a no-hitter by San Francisco’s Chris Heston last week and has lost his last two starts. The 22-year-old surrendered a total of 11 runs and 20 hits in 10 innings against San Diego and San Francisco. WALK-OFFS: 1. Goins is 6-for-14 with nine RBIs and four runs scored in his last three games. 2. New York C and former member of the Blue Jays organization Travis d’Arnaud has hit safely in four straight games since coming off the disabled list and has five runs scored and four RBIs in that span. 3. Toronto SS and former Met Jose Reyes has hit safely in 11 straight games.

Just waiting for me to get around to posting this, huh? Cuddyer has more career ABs vs Buehrle than against any other pitcher* and is hitting .318 with 3 HRs & 11 2Bs among his 36 hits. * by a LOT! (117) - Sabathia is next with 68

I got a baaaaad feeling about this series. Toronto is just firing on all cylinders right now.

winning 15 in a row is hard.

Well, logically, it becomes a lot easier once you have 11 wins already in the bag.

What's this i read about Cuddyer awarding the MVP of each game with a garish Met logo belt? The player keeps it in his locker until he loses the belt to the next games MVP. Anyone hear about this? Anyone have a pic?

Bautista takes Thor out in the first. It was not a bad pitch. 98mph on the inside corner. But Bautista got all of it plus, pulling it into the 2nd deck. 1-0 Bluebirds

Zvon Jun 15 2015 05:27 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

30 plus pitches for Noah in the first. Toronto tried to keep it going but Synderguaard, working very carefully, got out of a first & third situation. For those who care Reyes K'd leading off the game.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 05:33 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Mets down 1-2-3 in the first. Cuddy hit a long drive to deep right that Bautista nabbed short of the OF wall.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 05:39 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Thor returns the favor with a 1-2-3 second.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 05:56 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

I stepped off for a few. Tracker said an injury delay in the 3rd, after Reyes lined out.....oh, I see, they are talking about it now. Home plate ump was injured by a foul under the chin. Yow. He leaves the game. Hope he's okay.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:04 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Quite a delay here as they rotate umps. Why is this taking so long?

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:09 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

13 minute delay. Sheesh. Nothing bothers Buehrle, perfect thru 3.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:18 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Wow, they are way out in front of Thor's change-up. Strikes out the side & has 7 Ks after 4 innings. Still 1-0.

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2015 06:20 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Biggest problem right now (aside from being no-hit thru 3 innings for the 3rd time inside a week) is that Syndergaard has logged 5+ innings worth of pitches in just 4 innings. Buehrle, meanwhile, has thrown less than half as many. Now no-hit thru 4

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:23 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Cuddy shoulda been swinging 3-0. With two outs, take a poke.

Frayed Knot Jun 15 2015 06:24 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

He did the first time around ... didn't do him any good.

We are fortunate that there are a few Blue Jays who will chase out of the zone. Frayed Knot wrote: He did the first time around ... didn't do him any good. I think he still should be swinging away.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:28 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

So this Reyes guy seems like a player.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:30 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

I may have to take all that back. Thor paints the inside corner with a wicked fastball and Reyes stands there dribbling.

themetfairy Jun 15 2015 06:31 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Thank goodness for Duda!

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:33 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Flores swinging.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:33 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

HA! You suck Bautista. Can't field Duda's grasscutter to first. Scored a double, and rightly so. No one out.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:34 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Disastrous whiffs looking we're getting these days.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:37 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Flores & Mayberry do jack shit. Swing the bat Wilma! It's up to Herrera. Gah! Grounds out. That was an odd one. You never see a third baseman go for the runner like that. But Duda was right there.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:42 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Ever since I compared him to Wheeler he's been pounding the zone. Noah at 10 K's, 101 pitches, 6th inning.

Ashie62 Jun 15 2015 06:43 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Noah hasn't gotten much support of late.

themetfairy Jun 15 2015 06:44 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

OK - Let's get Thor a lead!

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:45 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Time to get the run back if not more.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:46 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

I'm not a fan of the two step that Flores does EVERYTIME he fields a grounder. Once I saw him not do it, on a Jeter fade/.jump/throw play deep in the hole. I don't recall if he got the runner but it was a good strong throw. He does not need to build momentum with the arm he has. I wish he would lose the two step. Another K for Synderguaard ends the Jays 6th.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:49 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

There's a place for diving/sliding into first.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 06:49 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

OH! Nice running by Plewicki. WHAT!!? Error?! I guess it was pretty routine. Reyes lollypopped it.

Cuddy REALLY busting it down to 1st. I like seeing that. Too many times I see em running like it's the monthly softball game that they're playing. CTorres for the 7th?

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:58 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

I wouldn't be surprised to see Terry try to use five pitchers to get the next nine outs.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 06:59 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Great curve by Torres to get Kokopelli.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 07:02 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

On the other hand, let's try and get nine outs out of Torres.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 07:08 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

We've benefitted from some shady defense: Encarnación's olé play at first, Bautista's playing a flare into a double, and Reyes sailing his throw on Plawecki's grounder in the hole.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 07:08 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Granderson set to PH for CTorres w/2 out. Plewicki walks . Curtis will bat.

Gwreck Jun 15 2015 07:08 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Shouldn't we be using D'Arnaud (or at least Campbell) instead of Granderson there?

Zvon Jun 15 2015 07:09 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

CTorres coulda done that Grandy. He Ks.

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 07:09 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Sending a lefty up to whiff against Buehrle, instead of Campbell. That's not a good testimonial.

Zvon Jun 15 2015 07:11 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

We've benefitted from some shady defense: Encarnación's olé play at first, Bautista's playing a flare into a double, and Reyes sailing his throw on Plawecki's grounder in the hole. I thought it was Bautista at first. So it's Encarnacion who sucks. Bautista does too but no advance on his suckkage.

FWOWWWW! Why the heck was Pilar so deep? Hey, Toronto, that's what losing feels like. I know, it's been a while.

If we can't get a 12-game winning streak this year, we'll be damned to let someone else get to 12!

Mets Guy in Michigan Jun 15 2015 08:39 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

Remember the part when I doubted before? I was wrong about that! No streak for you, Jays!

METS WIN! HOLY SHIT!

Nothing like winning a game via Duda's legs. P.S. - I would have scored Duda's hit a double

I don't enjoy dumping on him. But man, when you have a young ESL player, hyperventilating and deliriously happy, and you get only three questions, stop asking philosophical questions about polysyllabic abstractions like "resiliency." He has to translate into Spanish, come up with an answer and translate back, and after three beats the moment is lost, so he's going to spit out some banality. Stick to baseball questions — pitching, hitting, running — because that's an everyday language for all players. >Wilmer, how good did that feel? >What pitch did you get? >Did you ever see Lucas run so fast?

Thoughts on the Game - this one would have sucked to lose - shifts giveth and shifts taketh away - not often you give up runs in the 9th & 11th innings and still win - Until Tejada's walk w/1 out in the 11th, the Jays pen had gone 10-up/10-down - the only way Bautista can be hitting those pitches is that he's guessing and cheating for them. But give him credit, he does it very well and then doesn't miss them - I liked that we got Encarnacion out of game but then it looked for a while that his running replacement was going to have the winning run scored and his defensive replacement have the game saving defensive play - I would have scored Duda's hit a double; there was never a throw home - Gutsy and great call by Tuefel to send Cuddyer and nice read by Duda to go to 2nd. Both decisions made all the difference. - I had no problem with the Grandy PH. Buehrle's not a classic lefty killer and the alternatives were the spare catcher and the worst hitter on the team

And it if you ask a question that contains one of those polysyllabic words, if the player responds with a blank stare (while he's trying to figure out what he was just asked), don't repeat the question using the same word. It happens all the time, and it shows the asker doesn't understand what's happening. Later

Edgy MD Jun 15 2015 09:25 PM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

My problem with the Grandy ph was wanting wanted to save the lefties Granderson and Ceciliani for when the lefty was out of the game. If you can't use Campbell there, he probably shouldn't be on the team. But that's a bigger issue. It's certainly understandable why they'd roll the dice with Grandy there with two on. Any game the Mets win these days with d'Arnaud out of the lineup feels stolen. Feels like we finally have bullets in our gun when he is out there. And if and when Murphy returns, the lineup will go eight deep most nights.

Especially since the Jays' closer is a lefty so saving Grandy (or Ceciliani) for later probably just puts him in against a different LHR

The key play in the 11th, really, is Tejada going all statue-like between 1st and 2nd and extending the inning, when the second basemen should have just flipped it to SS to get the game ending GIDP.

Frayed Knot Jun 16 2015 06:29 AM Re: IGT 6/15/15 - Blue Jays @ Mets

And not just 'go statue' but then made the 2B chase him for a sec in order to kill any chance at a DP. Makes one wonder what Murph would have done in that kind of situation (either as the fielder OR runner): Run into the fielder? Run backwards? Call a time out? Throw to 3rd? Fake a punt?
