IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2016 08:30 AM

Syndergaard vs AJ Cole This one sounds like the matchup is in our favor but we lost the last time these two faced each other 11 days ago as we wound up with just one run on four hits for the night. Cole's other three starts this year weren't nearly as good making him seemingly the latest in a whole line of hurlers who have either their only win or the best start of their season vs the Mets. And while it's easy to say that this is not a MUST win game or series because of the schedule which follows, remember how well that 'easy' sked worked out back in 2007 where shirley those final six games vs the 90-loss Nationals & Marlins would save us. Then one win and five losses later we were cooked. So while it was nice of the Cardinals and the Giants to combine for a total of just one run and six hits last night, we can't count on that continuing and I'd prefer that we NOT put ourselves in the position where we go into these upcoming series with the notion that we should and need to sweep them. Things don't always go according to script in baseball, the sport is kind of funny that way.

I'm discouraged by failing once again in what I think was our 3rd or 4th attempt to pierce the Magical 10-games-over-.500 barrier. I dunno about you guys, but as a general rule I'm skeptical of "believing" in a team until they reach this level -- particularly this one: I've been waiting to buy in forever, just telling myself: Let's get 10 games over, then go from there. Early in the season and now late, it's not happened yet. TEN. I WANT TEN.

Fman99 Sep 13 2016 09:45 AM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

I want deGrom and Matz to go into some kind of time share for a rotation spot. Let them each pitch once every ten days and keep trotting out Thor, Barty, Jizz-ellman and Loogie out there in the interim.

Dear Sandy, I want to express my appreciation for your decision to sign Astrubel Cabrera. We can discuss Antonio Bastardo a different day. Sincerely, Mets Guy

Edgy MD Sep 13 2016 07:01 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

T.J > A.J.

Benjamin Grimm Sep 13 2016 07:05 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

Did you see that huge lead Cabrera was getting off third base while Bruce was batting and the Washington infield was shifted to the right? I couldn't help but wonder if Cabrera could have stolen home if he burst for the plate as the catcher was throwing the ball back to the pitcher. You can do that, right? Anyway, I'm glad he didn't try it, because he scored on T.J. Rivera's single.

Edgy MD Sep 13 2016 07:06 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

What Cabrera has done with a bad leg is nothing short of remarkable.

Edgy MD Sep 13 2016 07:41 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

Nobody remarking on the Mets taking the 3-1 lead. Clearly everybody's riveted by the Music Triv Derby. Nine hits!

Edgy MD Sep 13 2016 07:51 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

Tying run at the plate, and the side is whiffed. Now, how about they run Turner?

Edgy MD Sep 13 2016 08:04 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

Murphy might have exceeded Armando Benitez' record for greatest revenge season by an ex-Met ever.

Noah's up to about 90 pitches. Do you send him out for the seventh? I feel more confident with him than some of the other options, but that last out was a pretty loud one.

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2016 08:19 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

I thought Rendon got enough of that one at the end of the 6th inning. < 90 pitches is fine for 6 innings ... so of course Syndy starts the 7th would be nice to have more than a 3-1 lead considering the 10-4 lead in hits

Fman99 Sep 13 2016 08:21 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

I was hoping that Gott and Teufel would get into a scrap as they passed each other near the 3rd base line. They finally could have settled that ancient struggle once and for all.

Tough to kill Familia for that inning as the game was tied by essentially four ground balls, only one of which left the infield.

Tonight turning out to be just the opposite of last night: Pirates win, Marlins win, Mets win, Cardinals win Giants are still scoreless in the 4th inning. Dodgers lost which pulls them back a game to the WC pack regardless of what SF does and with SF & LA still having six games vs each other, not seeing the Dodgers run away with the West might matter later on.

MFS62 Sep 13 2016 10:12 PM Re: IGT - Mets @ Nats - Game #145 - 9/13/16

Got home after the game to find that MMYF had replaced my plain old Mets blue mouse pad with one that pictures lots of bats and baseballs. (Non team specific) Its a good thing they won, or I would have blamed her for the loss. Now, that new mouse pad is staying right here. Later

Dusty Baker, quoted at espn.com: ""Blevins has been around a long time," Dusty Baker said, trying not to act shocked that Mr. Met-killer came up short. "They know Murph as well as Murph knows them. It's a situation where they got Murph tonight, but Murph's gotten them many, many, many, many, many, many times." What a jackass. I can't wait for the Dodgers to beat them in the NLDS preserving WSH's record of never winning a playoff series.

Although Kristy Ackert didn't touch that angle in her game piece, the Daily News headline writer tried to spin the Rivera heroism as vindication for Backman. It's a tall order, but The News would love to turn the Backman firing into Willywhack II.
