IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Chad Ochoseis Jul 27 2016 12:18 PM

Adam Wainwright, who's been hot, faces Logan Verrett, who's been good enough. MLB.com's preview notes that Wainwright pitched successfully against the Mets once in 2006.

Both the Gnats and Fishsticks playing gay dames today.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 12:29 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

And both leading early.

Chad Ochoseis Jul 27 2016 12:45 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Nats playing not two miles from where I'm sitting right now. Was thinking of going, but life got in the way.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 12:58 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Mets need a hero tonight.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 27 2016 01:46 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

This is a Big Game again falling to Verrett, and we really need to bats to support him. That is all.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 02:04 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Yeah, and as much as a more dynamic offense might have dug the Mets out of Game One yesterday, the most dynamic player they have is out of the lineup. I'm trying to tell myself that any minute now, one of d'Arnaud, Flores, Lagares, or Conforto is going to wake up just a little bit more matured, and turn the game into his plaything. All of them, actually, I'm hoping.

Ceetar Jul 27 2016 02:15 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Curtis Granderson – RF Asdrubal Cabrera – SS Yoenis Cespedes – LF James Loney – 1B Neil Walker – 2B Wilmer Flores – 3B Michael Conforto – CF Travis d’Arnaud – C Logan Verrett – RHP Flores in against the Righty, so we'll see how this goes..

Ceetar Jul 27 2016 02:48 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

He's got 817 PA against righties and over 100 this year. Maybe he'll hit them eventually, but the Mets should assume he won't and have someone ready to go if Reyes can't.

Historically biggest game in the history of really-biggest-July games in history.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 06:22 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Verrett has a smooth enough 1st. Walked a Bird, stranded at 1st. 0-0 Mets

Zvon Jul 27 2016 06:28 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Ahhh, tsk tsk. Cabrera gaps one but is thrown out at second. Like Keith said, it took a perfect throw from Piscotty. Be nice if Cabby went on a lil hot streak, balance out that RISP BS.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 06:39 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

In the 2nd: Loney, lead off double. Walker, RBI single. Flores, single. 1st & 2nd, 0 out. 1-0 Mets

bmfc1 Jul 27 2016 06:58 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

How much longer are we going to be subjected to the mediocre-at-best Logan Verrett? He's a AAAA pitcher, not a starter on a winning major league team.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 07:12 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Shit. What happened? I stepped off. Oh, that Wainwright lead off walk. That's when I stepped off. I had a bad feeling about that walk. And Holliday does his job. Two early walks in this game is concerning enough, but the lead off walk to the pitcher was a big red flag to me. Logan has a smooth 4th.

I'm not huge on Verrett, but I think he's an adequate fifth starter. And, I don't know what the other option is until Wheeler gets back.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 07:47 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

3-1 Cards after 5. I'm yawning over here. Wake me the fuck up Mets.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 07:58 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Nice to see that Wainwright curve miss.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 08:00 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Damn. I thought Wilmer got enough of that.

Must. Score. Runs.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 08:14 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Leadoff dude on. That's supposed to help, right?

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 08:16 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Cool by De Aza, but we'd have a run home if d'Arnaud was running there. Shouldn't he have been running?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 27 2016 08:19 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

one of these guys will get a hit

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 08:20 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Just not Grandy. Wainwright seems to be grinding. Good pitch followed by bad pitch.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 08:21 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Ehghg, at least Grandy swung the bat. That fkn curve.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 08:23 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

I'd send De Aza. Nothing but curves are coming.

Flailing at the curve. Garbajelski. Let's go, Yo.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 08:27 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Wainwright's setting them up with the curve. The hard curve then the softer one. Grandy was waaay out in front of that 3rd strike. Asdrubal, not as much, but still fooled.

Fman99 Jul 27 2016 08:27 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Hey, a run, neato!

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 08:28 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

OK, I'll take that. Hard to believe that's his first wild pitch of the season. Good to have a Molina back there.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 08:28 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

WILDPITCH! 3-2 Redfeathers.

Let's cut Familia some slack and get him another run or nine.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 08:49 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Amazing thing is that Terry made a point of saying that the team needs Céspedes to carry them. With all that heat on him, he comes through like that.

Edgy MD Jul 27 2016 08:53 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

So this is where Broxton ended up. Not quite as massive as he was as a Dodger. More like an offensive guard and not so much the defensive nose tackle that he was with LA.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 08:54 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

I believe the Cards have more 2-out RBI hits in this game than the Mets have in all of July.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 09:14 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

After the Cespedes homer I really put this one in the books (in my head). And it's rare that I do something like that no matter who our closer is. What a run Familia. What an amazing run.

Zvon Jul 27 2016 09:17 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Frayed Knot Jul 27 2016 09:17 PM Re: IGT 7/27 STL@NYM, 7:05PM

Whatever we do we can't put the leadoff runner on. That move just kills every inning we have.
