Williams vs Seaworld, 8:05 PM, MLBN

No score in the 4th. Sewald looked good. Gave up a long double and a walk but that's about it. Plawexki smashed a liner of the Cubs pitcher's leg so hard he almost got thrown out at first by the catcher. Ben Zobrist can eat my asshole.

Funny, I tuned in with two outs in the top of the fourth and then got distracted. The bottom of the fourth must have went really quick 'cause I saw none of it. Need to win a fucking game, although I'm told it doesn't matter. Nothing really matters. Scaramouch, scaramouch...

d'Kong76 Mar 31 2016 08:08 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Oh snap, it is the bottom of the fourth.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 31 2016 08:15 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Big rally. Wright singles on a grounder to 2nd Zobrist overran, went to second ona WP, to 3rd on a sacred fly by Cespedes and scores on a Dodo opposite field bloop. 1- Zip!!

Edgy MD Mar 31 2016 08:36 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

And now we're mid-game and down 3-1. Would sure be nice to go into the season without a monkey on their backs.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 31 2016 08:36 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Chasen Bradford gives 3 back on a double, his own error, an infield single and a squeeze bunt. Playwhacky with his 2nd hit.

Oh, great effort by Grandy! Why can't Grandy play center and Cespedes in right? Keep Conforto in left and have Lags spell em' all.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Mar 31 2016 08:57 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Hardworking frame for Goeddel, who looks like he will Goe down the street and rent an apartment for the summer.

Edgy MD Mar 31 2016 09:04 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

I'll say this for the Cubs: Kawasaki looks fearsome and wonderful on those goggles.

Zvon Mar 31 2016 09:16 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Niiice pick off. David's throws have become a sticking point with me. Does he throw side arm all the time now because of the back? I know he's been doing it for quite a while- has he always thrown everything side arm? I seem to recall a day he threw some stuff overhand.

Edgy MD Mar 31 2016 09:17 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

I think it depends on his positioning. He throws sidearm coming in and from behind his ear when he's on his heels. Meanwhile, it's like we're not allowed to win or something. Come on, youse Mets. This bottle o' June 2015 is a crappy vintage.

Zvon Mar 31 2016 09:26 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Ugh, that hung with no break.

d'Kong76 Mar 31 2016 09:30 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Not sure what's more boring; Mets lack of O or the Cubs' booth.

Zvon Mar 31 2016 09:30 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

I'm so spoiled by technology. I want to know Robles's velocity and this Cubs feed doesn't show it. And they're not talking about it. I thought he was doing well--he looked flat there.

Zvon Mar 31 2016 09:39 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Jeez, that Grimm guy is in midseason form. I hope we don't see him again any time soon (not counting next inning if he stays in).

Edgy MD Mar 31 2016 09:40 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

The Cub defense meaninglessly bring their gloves out on the field, as De Aza, Granderson, and Wright whiff in order.

Zvon Mar 31 2016 09:50 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

haHA. No guys, there's no way Duda ever looks like Carew batting. Although that was a fine piece of hitting, thank you.

. [bigpurple:xyv2kk6h]14[/bigpurple:xyv2kk6h] Check under your DUAL ST IGT seats and arrive home safe. See you tomorrow... bring your rally caps!

Time to take this stuff down from the attic.

Game ll, Matz vs Hammel, 4:05 PM, limited coverage

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 01 2016 10:18 AM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

This was the first Mets game I think I saw all the way through this spring. We got a little unlucky in terms of runs scored against us (Bradford made a dumb error, then got dicked over by chopped infield hit by Kris Bryant and a squeeze bunt). Then some Cub scrubeenie hit one to Reno off Robles, not very encounarging. Few highlights for the O beyond I think 3 hits by Doodoo and 2 from Plawecki. I thought we were primed for an inning when Plawecki smashed that shot off the pitcher but Danny Muno followed as a PH and immediately hit into a mo-killing DP. GFY, Danny Muno. I worry this team will have a shit-ton of GIDPs.

Edgy MD Apr 01 2016 12:00 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

The team has been "unlucky" for a lot of these games, in that they're matching the other team with regard to base runners, but being outscored meaningfully. But after 10 games, you have to start looking at stuff — stuff like defense and base running and how few Met hits are leaving the yard.

Ashie62 Apr 01 2016 01:05 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

I know its' spring but 14? I like Zvon's suggestion of Conforto LF Grandy CF Cespedes RF Lagares spell em all. Or deAza I guess.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 01 2016 01:17 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Grandy in CF makes no sense at all. He's got the worst arm of any of them, and CF is very much a young man's position.

Edgy MD Apr 01 2016 01:19 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

The real issue is Terry's soft-handed refusal to give orders to veteran guys. Play where I say on the field, and bat where I say in the order ... Terry left that guy in Anaheim or something.

Frayed Knot Apr 01 2016 03:43 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Mets have scored an actual run (via an error of course because this is the 'No RBIs from Hits' Spring Tour) and lead 1-0 thru 1-1/2

Zvon Apr 01 2016 03:56 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Cespedes finally goes yard! 2-0 Mets

Ashie62 Apr 01 2016 04:22 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Yeah! Saving it up for Sunday. My ROY pick Matt Reynolds got sent to Vegas. Plawecki Henderson and Verrett start at Shea.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 01 2016 04:23 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

OMG YOU GUYS NO-NO THROUGH 4

Zvon Apr 01 2016 05:47 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Campbell & Rivera go back to back! 8-1 Mets

d'Kong76 Apr 01 2016 06:03 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Mets hit the High note!

Ashie62 Apr 01 2016 06:45 PM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Off the schneid.

themetfairy Apr 02 2016 09:39 AM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

Friday's game was fun. LOTS of Cubs fans in attendance but it was a mellow crowd. Nice to see the team finish up the spring on a good note. Fun Fact - after the win they played Takin' Care of Business on the PA system. We enjoyed hearing that for old times sake.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 02 2016 10:46 AM Re: DUAL ST IGT, 03/31-04/01, Mets' Vegas Tune-up

For some reason yesterday's Cubs-Mets game airing on MLB channel NOW!!!!
