The great April he had, combined with all of the gushing from Keith Hernandez, made me think we had a superstar in the making.

It seems wise to perhaps reevaluate that expectation. At least for the short term. He's still young, and may yet blossom. And hopefully if he does, it will be while he still plays his home games in Queens.

Re: IGT #115 8/12 Padres @ Mets

We never did get a KTE for these guys back when we split a four-game series out there in May -- which is OK because it would be unusable now anyway seeing as how the entire team has turned over since then now has a almost a complete new cast of characters.

C - Derek Norris is still there but is hitting .191 though with usual catcher's pop (12 HRs)
1B - Wil Myers is a once highly-touted prospect who just starting to come into his own now that he's on at least his 3rd org and 3rd position change
2B - the only thing I know about Ryan Schrimpf is he's last in the league in vowels
SS - Alexi Ramirez is the Cuban ex-ChiSox who was one of the endless post-Reyes candidates we discussed here. Kind of good that Sandy et al didn't listen to whichever of us was touting him: .237/.273/.327
3B - Yangervis Solarte had like six good weeks in the Bronx a couple years back before being dealt off for Chase Headley in a move the Yanx probably regret: .292/.357/.490; 11 HRs
LF - Rookie Alex Dickerson has been playing lately because the name change didn't reverse the declining fortunes of Melvin Upton
CF - Travis Jankowski (Seawolf is going to remind you that he was a Seawolf) took over when Jon Jay got hurt and might not give the job back. He runs .. A LOT! - 25 steals in just 187 ABs including home twice
RF - some rookie named Jabari Blash got the job when Matt Kemp was sent away in the latest episode of a team sending Matt Kemp away. Blash appeared in the May series but spent most of this year in the minors

They sent away every pitcher who started against us in the series out there (Rea, Shields, Cashner, Pomeranz) even though they then got Rea back after he hurled 3 innings for the Marlins but he's DL'd now anyway.
So we'll see former Astro/Marlin Paul Clemens on Friday. We should kick his ass just for the name alone
Saturday, facing deGrom, will be Jared Cosart who, just for variety, is a former Astro & Marlin
Sunday they've got TBD going against Matz. Not sure if TBD also pitched in Miami and Houston but I'm going to assume he did just to make things easier.

Beltran arrived, got hurt, didn't help them and left with no compensation by way of a draft pick. Wheeler gave the Mets a year and a half of pretty good pitching regardless of the injuries. Other than not having to deal with Zack's elbow, I don't see what the Giants won.

Judging by today ... Seth Lugo c'mon down!!

I mean with Harvey & Wheeler already not available, Verrett came into this season as the 7th starter so once that option fails it's not like whatever you go to after that is going to be ideal.

Getting the tying run to the plate after the start to this game is something, but we're also past moral victories at this point of the season.

side note: Ledecky just won the 800 meters ... by about 400 meters (OK, probably only by like 50 or 60 meters but it might as well been 400)

They should decide who gets the Silver, Bronze, and nothing via an intense session of Rock-Paper-Scissors
(actually I think they just award three Silvers in this case)

Meanwhile, between Keith making references to 'Paint Your Wagon' and 'Archie Bell and the Drells' they should get Warner Wolf to dust off one of his old schticks and comment on some of Keith's commentary:
"... and if you had Keith Hernandez and a reference from the last half century ... YOU LOSE!!!"
