IGT 7/30 - Welcome Back, Carlos... Wait, What?!

Edgy MD Jul 30 2015 08:06 AM

Jon Niese opposes Andrew Cashner. Mets who've hit Cashner well include Juan Uribe and Daniel Murphy. Pads who've hit Niese well make for a long list. Don't have another baby today, Mrs. Niese.

San Diego at NY Mets When: 12:10 PM ET, Thursday, July 30, 2015 Where: Citi Field, New York City, New York SportsDirect Inc. The New York Mets appeared on the verge of landing a new leadoff hitter by the time they took the field Thursday for the rubber match of a three-game series against the visiting San Diego Padres. However, New York general manager Sandy Alderson said after Wednesday's game that a reported deal to acquire Milwaukee's Carlos Gomez will "not transpire," leaving the Mets in search of another bat prior to Friday's trade deadline. New York managed only five hits in Wednesday's 7-3 loss but three of them were solo homers by Lucas Duda. The first baseman has clubbed six homers in his last four games and became the second player in franchise history with three blasts in one home game. Padres outfielder Justin Upton, another player linked to several trade rumors, homered and drove in three runs as San Diego improved to 7-4 since the All-Star break. Yonder Alonso also went deep among two hits to boost his career batting average against the Mets to .345. TV: 12:10 p.m. ET, FSN San Diego, SNY (New York) PITCHING MATCHUP: Padres RH Andrew Cashner (4-10, 3.93 ERA) vs. Mets LH Jonathon Niese (5-9, 3.75) Cashner, who lost seven of his first eight starts this year, is coming off one of his best outings after limiting Miami to one run over seven innings. It marked the third time in four starts that Cashner has pitched at least seven innings and the fifth straight turn in which he has not surrendered a home run. He suffered a bizarre loss to the Mets on June 1, striking out 12 but allowing six runs and 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings. With his wife in labor, Niese opted to make his scheduled start on Friday and was promptly rocked for six runs and eight hits over a season-low three innings. That ended a string of eight consecutive quality starts by Niese, who was 2-3 in that span despite allowing a total of 14 earned runs. Niese is 3-2 with a 2.04 ERA in five starts against San Diego but has struggled against Upton, who is 9-for-23 against him. WALK-OFFS: 1. Mets rookie LF Michael Conforto is 0-for-9 with five strikeouts since his four-hit performance Saturday in his second career game. 2. Padres OF Will Venable and 3B Yangervis Solarte have each hit safely in four straight games. 3. Mets C Travis d'Arnaud (elbow) completed his rehab assignment at Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday and is set to rejoin the Mets.

In the meantime, we have to put away trade talk and win this frickin' game. With the Nats & Marlins also playing at noon today, this is not only for the series win but we're either going to be 1 game or 3 games out about 3 hours from now - and not coincidently it dictates how we go into the weekend series vs the Nats.

Granderson scores on Muffy's sac fly - 1-0 Mets. And Tejada makes a beautiful play at short in the top of the second, making it two outs with a runner on first as opposed to one out with runners on first and second.

I'm still casting blame on Jay Horwitz for failing to put the brakes on the story while everyone (including the Mets broadcast teams) was reporting it as a done deal. He could have substantially slowed down this train wreck while it was in progress.

Mets – Willets Point Jul 30 2015 11:29 AM Re: IGT 7/30 - Welcome Back, Carlos... Wait, What?!

Barmes's E on a potential GiDP ball probably keeps Niese in the game as Campbell was on deck. Don't quite understand wanting to yank Niese so early. Yeah he gave up a run last inning but 2 of the 3 hits were cheesey/lucky.

They definitely used to do that last full inning stuff. Now I think their intent is to play it out and if I were the Nationals I'd make damn sure that's what happens.

Yeah, that was the rule prior, now the rule is if the visitors score in the top of the inning it becomes a suspended game(instead of the Mets winning by the game being called) If the game is suspended though, the resumption rules take effect. They have to play it before the next game between the two clubs. But because that doesn't happen, their don't seem to be any rules that state they HAVE to resume it. Now obviously in the interest of fairness MLB tries to get every game to actually be played. But if there are no mutual off days for a west coast/east coast matchup and the Padres have no interest in coming to NY for a half inning on October 5th?

of course, I'm not a rules expert. Maybe Sandy Alderson knows.

They blew a fucking 6 run lead. They deserve the L

I have this weird expectation that it wouldn't be nearly as demoralizing to let the Pads leave town with the game suspended. There's no outcome, and the Mets only lose half a game instead of a full one in the standings.

Which feels like it kinda sucks for the Padres (not that they're getting out right now anyway..) since they have a 7pm game in Miami tomorrow. so much for getaway day.

there were 2 outs, i'm sure the umps were trying to avoid the mess of awarding the mets the game by reason of rain and just let them get 1 out and everyone leaves. instead, they get an even bigger mess

MLB rules (this has been confirmed) are that you can't have a suspended game as the last game between the two clubs. You can't suspend the game, therefore the rule I quoted above takes effect and the Mets win.

Gary and Ron chimed in for a short while... have to agree with Gary that it's been the most bizarre last 24 hrs in (my) memory.

When you think you've seen it all. Totally deflating series in many ways.

Thanks! That was easy.

I feel the Mets themselves did everything right in that situation.

No rain in Midtown for the last half hour. Are they going to resume?

Zvon Jul 30 2015 04:27 PM Re: IGT 7/30 - Welcome Back, Carlos... Wait, What?!

Yes. Starting up now.

Zvon Jul 30 2015 04:29 PM Re: IGT 7/30 - Welcome Back, Carlos... Wait, What?!

Grandy flies out- a nice rip to center tho. 1 out.

Zvon Jul 30 2015 04:31 PM Re: IGT 7/30 - Welcome Back, Carlos... Wait, What?!

Citi looks empty but it's not quiet. Loud LETS GO METS chants.

Zvon Jul 30 2015 04:32 PM Re: IGT 7/30 - Welcome Back, Carlos... Wait, What?!

Tejada, overmatched, Ks. 2 outs.

Zvon Jul 30 2015 04:34 PM Re: IGT 7/30 - Welcome Back, Carlos... Wait, What?!

Muffy flicks a fluffy fly to leftcenter, out. Game over. First time in [u:2axwj216]45 years[/u:2axwj216] we lost a 6 run lead at home.

Alls I can say is I hope we are laughing about this game in October.
