RHP David Phelps, 7-6, 2.52 vs RHP Uncle Bartolo, 12-7, 3.44

Need to step on the gas here. They won the first two games with walk-ons, now they need the pros to finish the job.

Ashie62 Aug 31 2016 01:20 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Lets see how many pros are able.

Fish place tonight's schedukled starter Phelps on the DL, so instead we'll encounter the MLB debut of RHP Jake Esch, considered a talented but middling prospect: 26 years old, still kicking around Class AA.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2016 02:36 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Grandy suddenly hitting cleanup. Flores over Lonesome Dove at first against a righty. Johnson batting eighth when he had hit third and fourth against righties earlier in the week. Bruce buried in the sixth slot. Terry is rolling the dice. The big, fuzzy ones.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2016 02:41 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Jake Esch: high upside but frustratingly inconsistent 26-year-old right-hander. Mid-90s fastball, a plus change up, and a plus slider, along with a developing curveball. Gets into control problems, as indicated by his 3.0/9 IP walk rate, along with his underwhelming 6.5/9 IP strikeout rate. But his middle name is Otto. That's got to be worth something. Jacob Otto Esch. I think he was a higher up in the Luftwaffe.

Lefty Specialist Aug 31 2016 02:47 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Let's hope their walk-on doesn't perform as well as our walk-ons.

I like our chances.

It's baseball, we're always a blink away from a 8 1/3 gem with two sprinkled-in hits by the first-time guy... (and if that happens don't anyone try to pin it on me)

Zvon Aug 31 2016 06:34 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Who got that hit? Awww, fuck that guy. Double fuck him. Almost had him picked off and then throws one away. Ichiro on 2nd, no out.

Zvon Aug 31 2016 06:47 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Yea he scored. 2 run job. 2-1 Mets

I wonder if they'll trade for him next season also.

They pull a half a game ahead of Pittsburgh, and that'll be a full game if the Cubbies hang on.

At seasons start I hoped for better come September, but I'll certainly take this and love it. Team is heating up at the perfect time.

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2016 09:10 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

SF won today, but the Dodgers have lost one and are in the process of losing the second (rained out on Tuesday) so there may be a new NL West team to pursue in the WC chase. Pitt losing 3-1 in the 6th, StL losing 3-1 in the 7th, and the Marlins have obviously lost already.

Zvon Aug 31 2016 09:11 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

The Mets are now 9-3 since Yoenis Cespedes and Asdrubal Cabrera came off the disabled list. Wilmer Flores has a career high 9-game hitting streak. Familia: 44 saves (record breaker) with a month left. Wow.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2016 09:30 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Tuning in now to St. Louis losing to Milwaukee. Old Buddy Carlos Torres on for the Cerveceros, two out and bases loaded for Peralta. OE: FLY OUT TO CENTER!

Frayed Knot Aug 31 2016 09:31 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Bastardo just balked in a run vs Cubs ... and then allowed a few more via hits. 5-1 Chicago

Edgy MD Aug 31 2016 09:32 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

I knew that signing would pay off.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2016 09:39 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Kirk struck out on high cheese, the way he does.

Edgy MD Aug 31 2016 09:50 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

And the Brewers win! Mets within a game and a half of the second wild card slot. In addition to Carlos Torres bailing out Matt Garza, ex-Mets get BIG representation from Kirk Nieuwenhuis, proving all the Brewer scoring with a three-run homer and making an outstanding diving catch on top of that. Made the catch for the last out, too.

MFS62 Aug 31 2016 10:10 PM Re: IGT-08/31-Marlins at Mets-Meaningful Game in Almost Sept

Ichiro will be voted into the Hall of Fame and Pete Rose won't. And that makes me break into my happy dance. Later

Dodgers wound up scoring three in the 8th then five in the 9th -- including a 2-out 9th inning Grand Slam by (who is?) LF Andrew Toles -- to pull out that second game. So while fans of the SFG were likely already thinking of being just 1/2 game out in the West as the Rox were leading 8-2 entering the 8th, they suddenly had to contend with a 1-1/2 game deficit again.

That was a shit sandwich for Colorado to eat. They were red hot and sneaking into the periphery of the playoff picture. The double header sweep would have been a helluva day's work to sleep on.
