IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

Edgy MD Apr 10 2017 02:51 PM

The Mets head down the turnpike to take on the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phils join the Mets in a four-way tie for first at 3-3. (Atlanta's extra-inning win over the Mets in Game Two is their only win so far, so they remain alone in last at 1-5.) Jerad Eickhoff, a man who grew up with a name that either kills you or makes you stronger, defends for the Phils. Yes, it is spelled "Jerad." Righthander Eickoff gave up two runs in 6 2/3 innings against the Reds his first time out. He's not a star, but he's really steady, and while he doesn't scream #1 starter! at you, he may have the best line of any of your rotation fixtures at the end of the year, like last year, when he went 11-14 with a 3.65 ERA. Not particularly strong against lefties though. There's that. Maybe Neil Walker wakes up tonight.

Reyes 3B Cabrera SS Cespedes LF Bruce RF Granderson CF Walker 2B Duda 1B d'Arnaud C deGrom RHP Conforto to sit and learn.

Terry was apparently unconvinced by Lenny Dykstra's graph. (See Rico Brogna's thread.)

Edgy MD Apr 10 2017 08:17 PM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

It seems to me that five-into-four is easy. Among left, center, right, and first, you have four positions to play five guys at, and each of them can play 80% of the time (more or less), achieving the status of "regular." Of course, that would mean Wilmer Flores' first base-against-lefties at bats would have to be taken more at second and third. But Walker and Reyes are certainly not making that an unthinkable option.

I'd like a wide-awake offense, please.

This inning isn't going to convince anyone that Grandy ought to be the center fielder this or any night.

31 pitches in he 1st by deGrom. Be prepared Josh Smoker.

Zvon Apr 11 2017 12:27 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

Just tuning in. Gah, gotta go w/Comcast. 2-1 Phils. Mid 5th. Bruce went yard, huh? We need the real Bruce this season. That would be nice.

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2017 12:28 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

7 NYM HRs this season ... 6 of them with bases empty. It's good to know some things never change.

Lefty Specialist Apr 11 2017 12:38 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

Hate to say it, but somebody besides Reyes needs to be playing third right now.

Ashie62 Apr 11 2017 12:42 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

The Mets need to dominate these early season divisional games. This was/is a chance to get a jump on the Nats but being given away. Reyes? lost. Does T.J. Rivera play 3b?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 11 2017 12:47 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

I think. But play it well? I'm with you, though. Between the offensive desert and the general sloppiness, this game has a weirdly old-time, Soilmaster-Special quality to it.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2017 12:56 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

Good. First and third and no out. Let's get deGrom off the hook. And then put the Eick on it.

7th inning. 3 hits! This is getting ridiculous. We got something going here though. 1st & 3rd. And Walker ties it with a sac fly!

They should have tossed Ramos. And the double warnings are counter-productive.

Edgy MD Apr 11 2017 01:25 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

“I will not participate in the World Baseball Classic because Carlos Guillen is the least serious and most deceitful [person] that may exist,” Cabrera said, according to a rough translation of remarks reported by ESPN. “What a shame that Omar Vizquel, with all the respect he deserves, is accepting all this scoundrel-ness.” http://nypost.com/2017/02/09/asdrubal-c ... ble-cross/ Scoundrel-ness. That's the sort of intrigue that is afoot.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 11 2017 01:29 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

I think this is about the Epic Cabrera HR off Ramos last season.

Frayed Knot Apr 11 2017 01:31 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

That would be your NL HR leader Jay Bruce (and tied for ML lead). He shoulda flipped the bat.

Zvon Apr 11 2017 01:32 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

I'm gonna have to make Bruce one of these. Wow, Bruce is hitting. Of course, no one else is, but one step at a time.

Kruk (Phils booth) says that Ramos could not have picked a worst time to try and get even with Cabrera. He also thinks it was unwarranted. Listening to Mackanin now (Phils manager) and he had no idea Ramos was going to do that. Then they ask him if Ramos did it intentionally and he responds, " I don't know. I'll ask him tomorrow." Cripes. I don't see Mackanin lasting long.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 11 2017 02:29 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

JUST caught up on DVR. I'll take it. Though if Addison Reed's home run rate comes anywhere near where it was earlier in his career, it could be an ugly regression we've got coming.

TransMonk Apr 11 2017 04:14 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

We need someone other than Cabrera and Bruce to step up. Actually, we need a lot of someones. Good win, though.

Fman99 Apr 11 2017 11:11 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

Twas fun to watch. Bruce is dialed in, though he's always been a hot/cold guy like this. Hoping he can hit until some of the other bats wake up.

Lefty Specialist Apr 11 2017 11:54 AM Re: IGT 4/10/17: NYM@PHA -- deGrom deMonday

Yeah, we know what cold Jay Bruce is like. But pretty much everybody else in the lineup looks lost these days. A little shakeup is needed, Terry. May I recommend TJ at third, Rivera behind the plate and Conforto in center? Reyes worries me. He's swinging at balls that almost hit him, then watches pitches right down Broadway. I know he's happy to be back and all, but he's pressing.
