IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2016 08:35 AM

And remember that this is a 7 PM EDT start tonight, a game which may or may not be shown over MLBN depending on your area. Seth Lugo (and, No, we're NOT shitting you!!) vs Adam Wainwright (9-7; 4.71; 1.36) Wainwright is in the midst of the worst statistical year of his career which comes on the heels of the now 34 y/o missing most of 2015 with injuries. Mainly he got off to a terrible start, then seemed to find himself with a good month of July but has been shaky at best during four starts in August including giving up 6 runs to the Braves over 6, then coughing up 7 to the Cubs in just 2 innings in his following start. Needless to say this is an important game.

Two out of three ain't bad. It just, you know, may not be enough.

You know, you took the words right out of my mouth. You’ve got to be blind as a bat to mistake bad for good. In fact, if god could talk, he’d cry to heaven and say the future ain’t what it used to be. Me? I look at the box scores and just read em and weep. I feel like we’re jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. But it’s all coming back to me now and, for crying out loud, I’m all revved up with no place to go. Hell, it just won’t quit. But you don’t have to cry over me. I’m still alive. And why would i give up on my team? I'd do anything for love, but i won't do that.

Then tells her that her incessant whining isn't going to change anything. Then he plops down on her couch to watch TV and says "Wait, you want me to leave? Look at the fucking snow!"

bmfc1 Aug 25 2016 03:11 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Bruce has to be in there, regardless of his cramps and slump. And Flores has no business playing against a righty. K. Johnson booted a grounder yesterday so he hits the bench but he should be in there. And Rivera (w/o Noah pitching) against a righty? This is a must win and Terry has no fucking clue what to do. Fucking Molina is playing for the 3d day in a row but d'Arnaud can't?

Ashie62 Aug 25 2016 03:13 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Loney doesn't strike me as a clean up hitter. Bruce was hoping to play tonight. I'm waiting for this cramp to turn into a strained calf.

Ceetar Aug 25 2016 03:23 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Bruce has been garbage and I can't imagine playing hurt is going to help him be better. Plus De Aza's been pretty good after that horrible start. But yeah, no reason d'Arnaud shouldn't be playing today. And Kelly Johnson has been pretty good, he should probably be in there more.

d'Kong76 Aug 25 2016 03:28 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Rivera is Lugo's personal catcher.

Well, most of what I write doesn't matter, and the rest is probably wrong, but the Reds were negotiating with the Blue Jays this offseason before pulling out.

In fairness, Terry has a better idea of how bad Bruce's leg is than we do. d'Arnaud got a leg up on Crappiest At-Bat of the Year last night with that first-pitch double play in the seventh. I'd sit his ass down tonight, too. And with a pitcher making his second (third? I dunno) major league start, I'd rather have Rivera behind the plate even if d'Arnaud were hitting well. Can't say I disagree about Johnson over Flores at 2B, though.

I hope that fan gets tossed out of the park. It's one thing if it's hard hit and you can make some claim of self-defense or pure reaction. But when you reach over the stands to grab a 19-hopper which was clearly in play, I'm tossing that guy out on the street.

Cardinals hit five grounders in that 8th inning, all of them with possible force plays including four that were potential DPs, and we got all of two outs out of those five. Meanwhile the Mets killed the top of that inning with a bases-loaded/1-out GiDP which was Cespedes's third 3 GiDP in his last 6 trips to the plate.

Edgy MD Aug 25 2016 09:27 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Not only is De Aza out of my doghouse, I'll allow him to eat human food again instead of the shit I was dishing out.

Can't say I disagree about Johnson over Flores at 2B, though. Terry Collins, genius. And now Terry is a super genius as Rene Rivera is the guy who puts this game to bed (at least hopefully) with a 2-run single off the wall (not quite sure how he managed that).

The Triumverate of Chrome is still sitting back there.

One hopes that pitchers remember plays like the one Flores just made whenever they're given to bitching about singles that sneak through the shift.

I'm willing to send Gilmartin back to Vegas.

I had my nose to the grindstone at work today, so I didn't put up the transaction, but he was swapped in for Goeddel this afternoon.

Zvon Aug 25 2016 09:54 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Needed at least 2 of 3 here. And I need them to start giving us more than we need cause I need to relax.

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2016 09:56 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

We can't send every reliever back to Vegas folks!

themetfairy Aug 25 2016 10:03 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Sure we can!

Frayed Knot Aug 25 2016 10:22 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Cards - 8/25/16- Game #127

Not when starters are routinely exiting after the 5th, or are taking turns either being scheduled for or recovering from major surgeries, or when even that portion of the pen that folks aren't anxious to deport (Robles, Reed, Familia) is diminishing in effectiveness, quite possibly from overuse. IOW: Welcome to the world of spotty and erratic middle relief folks, this is what it often looks like.

Saw the highlights , good win ...back over .500 .....I guess that is what the team is

So, yeah, guys... that was pretty obviously the Alejandro De Aza Game, right?

I did make it until the end, but boy, I am dragging the ol' keister around today.
