Surprised to see Cespedes in today. Day game after a night game. Would have loved to get Conforto a start, but all three of those OF's smoked the ball last night.

Pre-Game Kwiz. As we know, Mets are on a 14-game win streak vs. CIN. The Reds last beat the Mets nearly two years ago this week. Name me: a-the Mets starting + losing pitcher b-the Mets' big RBI man that day - they scored 1 run c-the reliever (1 scoreless inning) who it turns out was making his final Mets appearance

Ceetar Sep 07 2016 10:30 AM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

a. Bartolo Colon b. Granderson c. Carlos Torres

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 07 2016 10:34 AM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

no, no and no

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2016 10:48 AM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

I know that Gary gave the other side to the story on the last Cincy win during Tuesday night's game, noting that a bunch of guys no longer with the Reds were the main actors: Johnny Cueto with the win, save to Aroldis Chapman, HRs by Todd Frazier & Chris Heisey. The really sad part from a Reds viewpoint is that I don't think they got very much in return for dealing away all those guys - although Finnegan and some others may pay off down the road.

sharpie Sep 07 2016 11:03 AM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

I'll go a. Zack Wheeler b. Kirk Nieuwenhuis c. Daisuke Matsuzaka

Yup, if it helps all 3 Met answers are no longer Mets.

With your last bit of info, I'll change to: a. Dillon Gee b. Kirk Nieuwenhuis c. Daisuke Matsuzaka

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 07 2016 11:37 AM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

We have one-third of a winner: a-starter + loser was Dillon Gee Still looking for the RBI man and the reliever making his final Met appearance

Yes! Now we need the reliever. For me he's one of those guys on the "He was a Met?" team.

TransMonk Sep 07 2016 12:31 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

The Reds are playing some really bad baseball today.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 07 2016 12:39 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Did you say that before they got caught stealing home with Votto at the plate?

A Boy Named Seo Sep 07 2016 12:40 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Haven't heard Keith be so crotchety and angsty in a long time. It's hilarious.

I can't remember a team playing this badly in a long time. That said, there are still six innings left to play in this one. Plenty of time for Cincy to make up for their poor play...so let's score 11 runs in the 4th, Metsies!

Reds are sucking but its good all the same to the Mets beating the sucky teams a little more convincingly lately

Zvon Sep 07 2016 12:54 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Ahh, not a straight steal. lol. Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a team so out of it.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 07 2016 01:13 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Yeah but this game is giving me bad feels. The Mets are struggling to be up 2-0. They gotta have a big inning and put these turds away.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 07 2016 01:24 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Good Grandy. The Mets have to lead the majors in solo HR's right? I looked up before the game and they were 4th in all of baseball in homers and 27th in RBIs. Good lawd.

Zvon Sep 07 2016 01:31 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

twitshit: The Mets have 26 home runs in their last 13 games and 191 on the season. Curtis Granderson becomes the first Mets outfielder since Carlos Beltran (2006-2008) to hit at least 25 homeruns in two consecutive seasons. Curtis Granderson now has 5 home runs in his last 24 at bats. Race is on for Granderson now with 25 HR. Fewest RBI in a 25-HR season belongs to Joc Pederson and Ron Gant with 54. Grandy has 45.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 07 2016 01:56 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Damn, Jose, just chill at 2nd, bro. Give Grandy a shot at an actual RBI.

Nymr83 Sep 07 2016 02:07 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

real bonehead play making the last out like that

Edgy MD Sep 07 2016 02:12 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

And Terry somehow moved Grandson to the middle of the lineup at just the right time. The Mets are Kings of the Pinch Homer, aren't they?

Frayed Knot Sep 07 2016 02:22 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

So between the HBP, the Reds checking their video guy to check on the HBP, manager Price going to the umps to talk them into a crew review so it'll be a challenge while not really being a challenge, the umpires convening to decide whether they want to go to the headphones, the umps going to the headphones and waiting to hear from headquarters in NYC to decided whether the HBP actually was HBP, the confirming of the call which led to the Reds changing pitchers (which likely would have happened anyway but, for some reason, wasn't done simultaneously with the review), and finally the warming up of the new pitcher (who should have be warm already), ... we're looking at, what, maybe seven, eight, Ten?, minutes between pitches thrown? So, just like it's not the heat but the humidity, it's not necessarily the length of the game but the pace of that length.

A Boy Named Seo Sep 07 2016 02:31 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Ynoa doesn't look good. I mean his Abe Lincoln beard, of course, but the pitching part is shaky, too.

Edgy MD Sep 07 2016 02:32 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

Y'know a good time to start warming up another pitcher?

Centerfield Sep 07 2016 02:41 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

And yet again Terry waits too long to bring the hook. Understandable though, considering he only has 38 relievers left in the pen.

Centerfield Sep 07 2016 02:45 PM Re: IGT 09/07-NYM @ CIN-Another Day, Another Matinee

I'm following on Gamecast. How close was that double to being a game-tying GS?

Great. That was a game that around the 4th or 5th inning, I thought we could easily fumble due to missed opps. This team is weird and somehow winning!
