IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

They may have Kate Upton but I'll take Thor. Verlander doesn't scare me but the Tigers do. A big series for the Mets to stay in the hunt.

Excited to be seeing the Mets tonight! It's rare that I get to see them in person. This year has been special -- saw them once in Cleveland and twice in Milwaukee. They've lost all three, so hopefully that ends tonight!

Meddle the mule is due.

Well, that was a lost opportunity.

WtF is calling this game for SNY?

Edgy MD Aug 05 2016 07:20 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Kelly Johnson 0-for-15 with seven strikeouts in his career against Verlander and... KAPOW!

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 05 2016 07:23 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

I was just the only guy cheering in the entire section. Awkward. Kelly Kaboom!

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 05 2016 07:25 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Now I'm the only guy not cheering...

Vaguely familiar from when I still had cable and still lived in the NYC area.

Thor not at his best tonight.

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 05 2016 08:06 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Comerica has a 420-foot centerfield. Just about any other park and Bruce has s two-run Homer.

Verlander might be done for the night. I hope so.

If the Tiggs score this inning, credit goes to them twice beating the relay to first.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2016 08:29 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Good job bailing, Noah.

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 05 2016 08:30 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Phew! And we're done with Verlander.

Zvon Aug 05 2016 08:34 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

112 pitches. I'd let him try for 120.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2016 08:38 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Shane Greeen of the Tigers: good slider. Sean Green of the Mets: not so much.

Zvon Aug 05 2016 08:43 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Goeddel did well. He's weird looking. Like a 6 foot elf.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2016 08:45 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Yankee castoff on the mound here.

Edgy MD Aug 05 2016 08:47 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Sheesh, guys. One hit since the fourth.

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 05 2016 08:50 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Feeling less confident.

Zvon Aug 05 2016 08:55 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Mike Puma nice enough to alert me to the fact that come Sunday we will not have won two games in a row for an entire month.

Mets Guy in Michigan Aug 05 2016 08:58 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

K-Rod. Grrrrrr.

Chad Ochoseis Aug 05 2016 09:02 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

OK, leadoff hitter on. Don't bring me down, Bruce.

Chad Ochoseis Aug 05 2016 09:07 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Fudge.

Zvon Aug 05 2016 09:12 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

I'm hoping for a few win streaks but we can't even win 2 in a row. It's amazin' we are still in this thing. Can I still say that at 9 games out?

My expectations for this team were way high.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Aug 06 2016 10:30 AM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

Thor spit the bit. Had the lead for about 5 seconds before he gave it right back. Boo.

Frayed Knot Aug 06 2016 12:43 PM Re: IGT 8/5 Mets v Tigers Thor v Verlander

For a guy who gets as many strikeouts and as few walks as he does, Syndergaard gets hit for a ton of foul balls which ratchets up his pitch count far too often. Not that I'm saying that's what caused him to go all out of kilter in the 4th, but he worked almost a double inning in the 1st (25 pitches - most w/men on) and neither his 1-2-3 2nd or 3rd innings were particularly quick enough (16 & 13 pitches) to balance that one off. So while Keith was harrumphing about how he wants his starters to go at least seven, Syndergaard effectively had already done between seven and eight innings worth of throwing out there (112 pitches) he just did so while only getting six innings worth of outs. Not that Verlander was a whole lot better, but he's been at it longer and, besides, in those games where the Mets do get the ace starter out of there they seem to have a habit of getting one-hit over multiple innings by even mediocre bullpens so the idea of playing catch-up goes out the window.
