IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Edgy MD Jul 02 2016 09:26 PM

If we want a sweep, we've got to go through Jon Lester (9-3, 2.03) But the Mets counter with some guy named Syndergaard. Hell yeah, we want a sweep.

Frayed Knot Jul 02 2016 10:10 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Y'know, with Lagares scheduled to play, Zimmo maybe leading off again, possibly Granderson slated to be back, all combined with Lester's odd throwing/holding problems with runners at 1st ... the Mets might even get a chance to run in this game

I wonder if Grandys job is in jeopardy before the end of the month.

If, at some point, Lagares, Conforto, and Nimmo are all up and hitting at the same time then, yeah, you start to figure out how to handle/phase out Granderson. But they're a ways from that point now.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 03 2016 12:56 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Loving this so far! Grandy back and tells you to stop counting him out. Yo deposits a broken bat base hit to make it 6-1!

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 03 2016 12:57 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

I wouldn't mind the Mets using these uniforms next year as Sunday alts, minus the patch and name plate.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 03 2016 01:03 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Adios Lester! But I have to say that a fair number of these hits were of the 100-bouncer, bloop, broken bat variety. Not complaining, mind you.

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 03 2016 01:43 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Thor doesn't get cheated at the plate. He's hit the ball hard! Now, with the score being what it is, do you pull him after five or six innings to preserve the elbow?

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 01:49 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Six innings at least. I'm just tuning in. Funny to see the canary-colored compression sleeve on René Rivera

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:00 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

So, maybe we haven't seen all there is to see from Wilmer Flores.

Edgy MD wrote: So, maybe we haven't seen all there is to see from Wilmer Flores. Not that he's not always trying his best. But I wonder if the idea of Reyes playing third base exclusively and Loney doing pretty well at first has been a factor.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:36 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

He's certainly had some of his best periods in the past when his job was on the line. Is Kong at the game today? I think I saw Kongwife on TV

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:38 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Should Nimmo be called back from first? Didn't he seem like he took that HbP with intent?

Well it wasn't spurring him on to multi-hit games prior to today so the cause-and-effect thing is a tough sell. Madden seems awfully liberal with his position player changes in this series but just the opposite when it comes to swapping out pitchers.

That guy who just missed that homer on the Party City Deck (or whatever it is), didn't that look like Kong?

Mets Guy in Michigan Jul 03 2016 02:42 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Wilmer says "Let's see Jose go 5 for 5."

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:45 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Edgardo Alfonzo is the only Met with six, right?

Speaking of pulling pitchers, Strasberg just yanked after 6-2/3 despite a no-hitter.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:50 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Interesting to hear Keith call Steve Bedrosian and Scott Garrelts the hardest throwers he's ever faced. I would have guessed about 100 guys before coming up with Bedrock, and I'd never have thought of Garrelts.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:51 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Position player pitcher alert! In the seventh inning! Guess who rules. The Mets do!

And his odd usage continues, pulling a pitcher in favor of a position player just after allowing said pitcher to hit the previous half-inning. Montero is also his 3rd catcher and he's now used all of them in just 7 innings.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:53 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Soft stuff, but with a little sink.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:54 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Looked like he hit Rivera with a knuckler.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 02:55 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

And we get the answer to the burning question: Do you have to be a pitcher to retire De Aza?

Centerfield Jul 03 2016 03:05 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Nice to get some nice easy wins against the Cubs. We're going to need them. We won't be able to avoid Atlanta forever.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 03:07 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Another baserunner or so, and Flores may get a chance. Let's go, DeGrom!

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 03:10 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Would have been the silliest challenge ever.

Hey, Logan Verrett, come on. Get with the program.

WILMAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Tie goes to the record. :)

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 03:20 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Should have given Montero a little bit more punishment. They came up one hit short of their team nine-inning (or eight-inning, in this case) record.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 03:24 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Flores sucks! Get him out of there!!

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 03:25 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

I imagine it'll be a long time before anybody besides Rivera catches Syndergaard.

Edgy MD Jul 03 2016 03:27 PM Re: IGT 7/3 CHC@NYM

Weird inning happening. Get the last out, Mets!

Jeez. 14 guys left on base. Why can't this team hit with RISP?!?!? I shouldn't have to say this, but sarcasm content = 100
