I bet we hear the word "butterflies" at least once during tonight's broadcast.

d'Kong76 Apr 07 2017 07:11 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

I just looked on betoneverything.bet and the O/U on 'butterflies' this evening is 2½... I'll take the over.

This thread is three hours old, the game hasn't started yet, but Kong is killing it. Expect some Schaefer after the game, Kong.

Ceetar Apr 07 2017 07:51 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

But I've got the garbage lineup! hah. José Reyes – 3B Asdrúbal Cabrera – SS Yoenis Céspedes – LF Wilmer Flores – 1B Curtis Granderson – CF Neil Walker – 2B Jay Bruce – RF René Rivera – C Zack Wheeler – RHP

G-Fafif Apr 07 2017 07:51 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Jose Cubed 3B Nice As' SS Yo! LF Flonase, for the clearing of base-al passages 1B Grand Old Man CF Kneel Before Walker 2B BRUUUUCE RF The French Rivera C Welcome Zack RHP

Edgy MD Apr 07 2017 07:55 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

So, it looks like a straight Dudaflores platoon is starting to look like a thing.

G-Fafif Apr 07 2017 07:56 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

It was said on last nights telecast that Wilmer would go up against each LHP ahead but not necessarily at 1B. I would guess some other infielder gets a blow tomorrow night.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2017 07:59 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Yeah, I guess I'm just a little surprised it wasn't tonight. Boo has feelings. And he can pick up on patterns as well as anybody.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 07 2017 08:02 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

I'm surprised too. I was thinking that Walker or Reyes would sit tonight.

G-Fafif Apr 07 2017 08:14 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Jose just getting hot and Neil had two hits last night. Let As' rest his 'drubal tomorrow night, shift Reyes to short, Wilmer to third.

d'Kong76 Apr 07 2017 09:34 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Whoa! Wheeler looking good in the 1st. Fastball hitting 97, slider sliding, curve ball curving. Got Dee Gordon to ground out and then K'd Ellis and Yelich.

Keith - "Tonight's the night you're going to want to break out the Danskin tights for the extra tall girl." Surprisingly, neither Gary nor Ron followed up on that.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 07 2017 11:36 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

I was a little worried about an appeal on the run that Curtis drove in. I wasn't at all sure that Asdrubal touched the plate.

And the ump didn't signal 'Safe', either because he thought it was so obvious (although he should anyway) or because he didn't think Cabrera did touch and left it up to Miami to to belatedly tag him.

Edgy MD Apr 07 2017 11:57 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

No reason the outfield should be deep enough for a Texas Leaguer to drop in off the bat of Gordon.

Keith's brought that up in the past. He learned from Bobby Bonds that tights under the uni was the key to playing in cold but few if any of them were made for men in those days. So if you're a 6' 2" athlete and go shopping for them you needed to scout out the ones for big and tall girls.

Crap. It's almost Montero time.

Frayed Knot Apr 08 2017 12:12 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Keith must have headphones that totally block out whatever Gary says given the number of times he says something seconds after Gary does. GC: Phil Regan was also on the 1969 Cubs coaching staff" KH (10 seconds later): And I believe he was part of the ill-fated '69 Cubs team"

Edgy MD Apr 08 2017 12:21 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Cool that something like half the highlights cited by Phil Regan were highlights he was on the wrong side of.

Edgy MD Apr 08 2017 12:26 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

"I had a kid who kid throw 100 miles an hour, but he's out of baseball. He said he sweat too much and couldn't grip the ball." I think I can guess who that was.

Edgy MD Apr 08 2017 12:30 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

John Holdzkom.

Zvon Apr 08 2017 12:32 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

80 pitches through four. I guess considering he hasn't pitched in over 900 days this isn't that bad. He seems to have picked up where he left off. Trying to nibble too much. The nibble dance.

Edgy MD Apr 08 2017 12:39 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Funny you posted that as I was just reading up on Toni Basil. Hey, T.J. Rivera, welcome to 2017.

After the opener, where we scored all those runs w/o a home run, I thought, excellent, we can score runs w/o the long ball. That's what we need to do and there's no stopping us! And then back to last seasons form. 6-1

More like three: the triple, the HR, and then that last RBI single right after I posted the last one. But in between they've had a ton of shit. Of course we've had less than shit so it's not like we'd be winning if only we had better luck. In the meantime the fans have just what they want on a 40 degree windy night, a blowout that's two hours old and not even half over yet.

Ashie62 Apr 08 2017 01:03 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

I've seen enough of Josh Smoker for the year. Gotta beat these teams Metsies.

Frayed Knot Apr 08 2017 01:04 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Yeah, one bad inning and that's enough for me too. So as of tomorrow, Smoker, Wheeler, Montero, and Robles are all off the team.

d'Kong76 Apr 08 2017 01:07 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

I'd rather have a position player than so many pitchers. I liked the 4 starter era with a staff of 9 or 10. And no I likely will not see that again.

Zvon Apr 08 2017 01:25 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Montero actually looks pretty good tonight. Yikes, Bour just misses a homer.

He gets out of it. Two blank frames . Booth says they are gonna whip out some baseball cards! I'm betting ToppsNOW, with all the publicity about the Colon card that Thor gave to Bartolo.

Zvon Apr 08 2017 01:35 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Conforto will pinch hit in the 7th. Man, it's gotta be tough coming off the bench in this cold

Ashie62 Apr 08 2017 01:36 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

A comeback would be a great way to reward the freezing faithful.

Zvon Apr 08 2017 01:37 AM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Wow, Topps gave the booth a 5000 count box of random baseball cards from various years. At first I thought they were all Mets and I almost fainted.

On the bright side Wheelie gave us the performance I was worried that Harvey would. It was disappointment house money. On nights like this, I feel like the O needs to do more damage. By this I mean, as big a hole as it was they knew it's depth nice and early, they're vets, it's not Kershaw out there. Make a game of it.

Yeah, focus on the O. Worrying about whether your last guy out of the bullpen can be more of a weapon is a trap. If he's good, great, but the offense should be carrying that guy; we shouldn't be looking to him to carry the offense.

Ashie62 Apr 08 2017 04:32 PM Re: IGT 4/7/2017 Miami v. NYM Welcome back Wheeler

Zack threw 80 pitches topping at 97 mph in less than optimal weather. I'm willing to call it a success.
