IGT 9/22/16: PHI@NYM -- Fall Aboard

The first game of autumn: Phillies at Mets, Thursday night, 7:10 PM, Adam Morgan vs. Seth Lugo. Mets look to shake off their three-game yeech.

Great idea.

On the other side of the continent, at 10:10 PM, the Giants visit the Padres. The Cardinals are off before starting a weekend series at Wrigley.

The three Wild Card contenders are 80-72. Win each series and the Mets finish 87-75. But win the first game of this series first.

Lefty on the mound.

I pray that Terry doesn't do something stupid like start Eric Campbell. It also demonstrates the failure of Sandy and this organization that they were not able to get a major league quality right-handed hitter.

My kingdom for right now for Bubba Trammell.

Re: IGT 9/22/16: PHI@NYM -- Fall Aboard

I think I'd rather go with Reynolds over Campbell:

1. Reyes 3B
2. Cabrera SS
3. Cespedes LF
4. Rivera 2B
5. Granderson CF
6. Reynolds 1B
7. Bruce RF
8. d'Arnaud C

I guess in this scenario my RH pinch-hitter is Bartolo.

I had never seen a Taylor Swift video before. How do I wash the taste of that out of my mouth?

Oh, of course, more FRAMPTON!!

I played this on guitar, although not for many a year.

[youtube:je2yida1]7kGQq9BBriE[/youtube:je2yida1]

*grabs acoustic.
The whole song is only a few chords and IIRC the same chords used in Rocky Racoon, only in different order.
Start Aminor and walk it down to an E.

Yep, that's Stevie on harp.

Maybe because I had heard bits of the song a billion times. Some commercial? Don't recall.
But I didn't even know it was that song until she got to that "Playahs gonna play" line.
Swift does absolutely nothing for me, musically or otherwise.

Had this lineup been handed to you six months ago, you'd ask who the Phillies are bringing over from Clearwater -- and is Reyes any relation?

September sure makes strange Metfellows.

Re: IGT 9/22/16: PHI@NYM -- Fall Aboard

And for the Phils to be in this position, to totally ruin our season, is just par for my course, I guess. I hat 'em.
You can spin it some other way if you wish (we don't score!, TC is a tard!, etc.) but this is where I'm at.
I don't hope, I don't pray, I demand a sweep here.

Apparently Collin's desperation is contagious.

Jay's last 12 games, which have encompassed 10 starts: 3 singles in 38 at-bats, 1 RBI, 5 walks. The Mets have played 15 games in that span, so he hasn't been used at all in three of them and was limited to PH'ing in two of them.

With five playoff positions, now everyone with a .500 record is still a contender. So it's no longer so easy to find that one extra player you need for 20 ABs in September, much less to expect him to clear waivers.

Michael Mayer ‏@themainemets
Curtis Granderson now has 24 solo home runs this year, tied for the 3rd most in the majors with Miguel Cabrera and Carlos Santana.

I could easily just copy and paste that info w/o the source and suddenly look kinda intelligent and informed, if that's possible, but I feel who ever goes to the trouble of finding that out should get the credit. I hope no one minds when I share tweets here.

Those Vimo vid clips, or whatever they are (from twitter), it took some doing to get that to show up here. Problem wasn't on this side. I had to dig for one of their links that worked. I get the impression they would rather I not find them and link the tweet itself.

It's great for early news reports, like the recent NYC bombing and the quake that just occurred in Japan.

Conforto and Bruce are pretty much the same player these days (both were voted the boy most likely to start his AB with an 0-2 count) and it's actually Conforto with the slightly higher K-rate for the season.

If they don't win it here and don't get to the 9th slot doing so (JF due up 5th this inning) I'd like to see him out there for a 2nd inning.

I think this is the first time I've heard Asrubal speak.

Did not understand a word he said.

I'm glad that it wasn't just me. He did say, and even if we didn't hear it I'm sure he said, "I just wanted to hit the ball hard."

I think Asdrubal's dramatic come-back HR wins, but not by much.

Oh, and lost in all this excitment, can we never see Jim Henderson again? Thank you.

You don't want that. Big Jim was put in an a very difficult situation. And that walk came after several strikes three were effectively fouled off.

You'll need Jim Henderson before this is all over. The real problem I had was Terry going to the guys he had taxed over the previous four days, and not giving the Hendus and the Robleses a chance at their own inning or two, instead of having to bail out the gassed front-liners.

Re: IGT 9/22/16: PHI@NYM -- Fall Aboard

Eleven innings played. Twenty-seven home players used. Two-hundred fourteen home pitches thrown. Two-hundred sixty-three minutes consumed. Two arms raised skyward. One-hundred eighty emotional degrees traversed. And, in the final scene, the Three Amigos riding off into the sunrise, having rescued their team’s season yet again.

Their reward as midnight approached was that justice had been done.

Jose Reyes. Asdrubal Cabrera. Yoenis Cespedes. Their night. Their month. Their year. Our Amazin’ good fortune. Thursday they were aided and abetted here and there by a handful of their 24 accomplices, but when you got right down to it, it was they who lassoed a loss and giddy-upped it over and over until it galloped across home plate a glorious win.

The Mets reached base via hit, walk or error seventeen times. Bundled at the top of the order — a veritable penthouse suite crowning an otherwise ordinary off-ramp motel — they accounted for eleven of those appearances. They scored four and drove in seven of the nine Met runs, making almost all the difference in what became a 9-8 victory that obscured the frustration and heartbreak that defined the two previous evenings at Citi Field and made a person overlook everything that seemed to be going irredeemably wrong in those innings that they could not personally repair.

The Mets used 27 players? Who uses 27 players? No basket of deployables is that deep, yet Terry Collins kept dipping in until he became the first manager in the 55-year history of the franchise to deploy one Met for every out required in a normal nine-inning affair. Natch, this wasn’t a normal night, nor could it be confined to nine innings.

This team plays a Game of the Year about once a week.

I'm not asking for every reliever to be trashed. I'm asking for Jim Henderson. Jim Henderson who was great for us in April, but has been awful since then, and is getting worse. His pitches seem to have no life and he seems aware of it. He is our worst reliever, particularly in the second half.

Perhaps I spoke to broadly when I said I don't want to see him ever again, but in an extra-innings nail-biter that we have to have? I know it ended well, but imagine we had come up a run short.

Sure, if you take my statement and lump it together with everyone else's IGT statements, many of them emotional and reactionary (they are IGT statements after all), then the collective call to banish every reliever can be colored as foolish.

But if you look at my statement individually, as I intended, it is that I don't want to see Jim Henderson in that spot. Jim Henderson is our worst reliever. It is perfectly valid to state that we should not use (or be forced to use) our worst reliever in that spot.

Agreed. I spoke to broadly about never seeing him again. It would be great to get him back into gear, but that 11th inning was not the spot for him.

Further agree that mismanagement in the prior games helped to create the need to bring him in to replace our main horses, how appeared to be gassed.
