IGT 9/28/16 NYM@FLA Thin Line Between Love and Hate

The Mets seek to take the series, sending Seth Lugo to the hill against José Urena. Fun facts! [list][*]Lugo, in Spain, may merely be the fourth largest city in Galicia, but it is the only city in the world surrounded by completely intact Roman walls.

Yeah, he is kinda superfluous, since that lineup has two catchers.

We've faced this Urena guy twice this year and haven't hit him either time. - 1 R on 4 Hits over 6 innings on July 24 (Mets won 3-0) and then for some variety - 1 R on 4 Hits over 6 innings on Sept 1 (Mets lost 6-4) Other than that he's been more than hittable to other teams (5.95 ERA) and has been a mess in three of his four starts since the Sept 1st game vs us although oddly shut the Dodgers out on four hits through 8-2/3 in the other start ... so he's pretty much an erratic (near) rookie who we probably shouldn't even try to project on any given night.

Ceetar Sep 28 2016 08:48 PM Re: IGT 9/28/16 NYM@FLA Thin Line Between Love and Hate

If that's the way it's going to be I'll say right now that Conforto's going to do something HUGE off the bench.

The late lineup switch comes through again. Yet another example of the genius that is Terry Collins.

Just summoned up the replay of Bruce's shot. I love how we can do that these days. It's a kinda magic. Another sky-ball, like Loney's. Two extra long fly balls.

It's gonna be about if they can hit enough, seems like they'll have the pitching to get by.

He has mentioned it on a few of the recent post game shows I've seen. The only one he's let go longer was Gsellman in his last start. Later

This game is flyin' by. I did that 2015mfc Mets MVP last season, even put up a poll for it, and Grandy deservedly took home the trophy I imagined he'd have won if I was to make one. This season I think team 2016 MVP, and to me there's no question about it (so far-but I couldn't imagine what would change that with these few games left), is Asdrubal Cabrera. I wasn't even going to put it to a poll. Just make a card naming him MVP. I know Cespedes is doing his thing and some will justifiably say he's the '16 MVP, but in my thinking Cespedes is giving us just what we expected. What Cabrera has given us goes faaaaaaar beyond any expectations. And not just the numbers but the clutchiness. And not just the hitting but the fielding. I think if I did put it up for a poll I would have put Yo, Colon, and Familia in it. I wasn't even considering Granderson. I was Met-chattinup one of my brothers today, Grandy came up and how hot he's been, and my bro says Grandy's the teams 2016 MVP. And I was no way! And we had a pretty long conversion, a debate if you please. He brought up some great points and tried to make me consider a split, Cabby/Grandy. All I could agree on is that if we were just talking about the last two months or so I would split it, but as it stands, for the entire season I would not even put Grandy in the MVP poll. Now he's got me wondering. Not if Grandy is '16 MVP, cuz I don't think there is any way he'd get the votes to beat Cabs or Yo. I just wonder if I should put it to a poll. For the record, who is your 2016 Mets Most Valuable Player?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 29 2016 01:41 AM Re: IGT 9/28/16 NYM@FLA Thin Line Between Love and Hate

One of the beaters said Warthen had said that Lugo was a little fatigued coming in so they weren't going too far.

Given the emotions attached to Monday's game, that the Marlins brought on to the field with them, I think taking the last two games was really the best case scenario, realistically.

I also liked the way TC underlined every emotional statement with [sic] "....but we gotta win ball games." The 50 saves thing is hitting me as if it was 50 HRs. I never thought I'd see a Mets player save fiddy. What a wacky season!
