4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Let's begin again. Begin the begin. Zach Wheelchair on the bump. JCL in the cheap seats.

Fman99 Apr 17 2017 11:17 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

The Phillies as opponent, bad at baseball, bullpen that looks messier than JFK's limo.

Ashie62 Apr 17 2017 11:58 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Hoping the Mets are as good as REM in this rich pageant in philly..

I was going to comment on the title of this thread, but I decided to be Miles Standish-Offish instead. Later

Lefty Specialist Apr 18 2017 02:03 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Hope everyone's feeling hitterish. I don't expect Zack to go very deep and it would be nice to have a nice cushion at that point. I'll be in the left-field box seats, except that those seats will be in Busch Stadium as I'm in St Louis on bizness.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2017 02:26 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Cardinals off to their worst start (4-9) since 1988 so you might see a test of how far that famed mid-western politeness and boosterism of the crowd will bend. I suspected St Looie for a team due for at least a bit of a fall this year off of last year's 86 win non-playoff team -- Alex Reyes injury, Wainwright & Molina getting old, shaky defense, too 'lucky' with non-repeatable RiSP & PH success in recent years, etc., plus there are only so many [crossout:143myn76]rabbits[/crossout:143myn76] rookies you can keep pulling out of hats whenever they need one -- but they really look like shit so far, something which would be fine with me if only part of that hadn't come vs a three-game sweep by the Yanx this weekend. At one point there were Yanx running all over the bases courtesy of Molina passed balls and I'm thinking, 'Who da fuck are these guys?!?'. Bottom Line: 2nd worst in NL in RS/G (only slightly ahead of SDP and they're barely trying) [u:143myn76]PLUS[/u:143myn76] 2nd worst in RA/G just ain't gonna get it done.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 18 2017 03:13 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

I always root for St.Louis to stink up the joint, figures they'd do it vs. the MFYs this weekend. I mean, they played terribly in that series, pitching, offense and defense. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Megdal! Tonight the Lunchman will be in 512 (I think). I packed gloves and a hat even though it's nice out now.

Lefty Specialist Apr 18 2017 03:41 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Much gloom in STL, despite the win last night. The horrendous defense is not 'The Cardinal Way', and there's a feeling that a stripdown and rebuild may be necessary, something they've avoided for decades.

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2017 04:51 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

With their best pitching prospect, Alex Reyes, out until sometime in 2018 with TJ surgery, and no one seemingly sure whether Michael Wacha is the stud he looked like pre-2016 or the one with the 5.00+ ERA last year, Carlos Martinez is StL's best young (25) pitching hope right now, but it's safe to say he's still a bit erratic yet. Anyone see his pitching line vs the Yanx in Saturday's game? ... 5.1 IP, 3 Runs (2 earned) on 4 hits, but with [u:1u9qdwpv]8 Walks + 11 Ks[/u:1u9qdwpv] (on 118 pitches)

Ashie62 Apr 18 2017 05:23 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

It will be chilly at Citi tonight. St. Louis may do a rebuild. I guess a trade of the Matts, Carpenter and Adams is a start.

cooby Apr 18 2017 05:49 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

I hope St. Louis loses the rest of their games

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 18 2017 05:58 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Tonight the Phillies will pitch Zack Eflin, a promising but unsure kid who was called up to take the place of Clay Buchholz who's out for surgery already: [tweet:1uzrycb0]https://twitter.com/RumHamSinkie/status/853255966816698368[/tweet:1uzrycb0] Eflin saw some time last year before going down for knee surgery and only has 10 innings in the minors so far so would help to get to him early. The Mets beat him 5-zip last year in the deGrom one-hitter. I was at that game!

Frayed Knot Apr 18 2017 06:05 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Zach Eflin sounds like a member of some Disney-owned boy band. Instead he's a former 1st round (33rd overall) pick of the Padres -- in 2012 out of a Florida HS -- but was traded twice on consecutive days in December 2014 before reaching the big leagues with Philly. From SD to LAD in the Matt Kemp deal, and then with another minor leaguer to the Phillies for Jimmy Rollins. Really, LA, you deal two minor leaguers including a recent 1st round pick for the aging carcass of Jimmy Rollins?!?! I suppose one could argue that they needed a SS and JR played there almost every day for a team that went to the playoffs (and lost to the Mets) but he hit all of .224/.285/.339 while doing so.

Mets have walked three times so far in the first, lead 2 to 1.

Herrra homers for filthy Bruce singles in Conforto, Cespedes to 3rd. Cespedes scores on wild pitch 2nd inning 2-1 Mets

Benjamin Grimm Apr 18 2017 11:41 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

It wasn't a "for sure" triple in any case, but we have to accept that Reyes has lost a few steps. One of my brothers wants him gone. I say you don't give up on Reyes this soon.

Lightning could strike, he gets entrenched at a nu position, and suddenly he has five more healthy years in him. I'd give that about a 6% chance, though. It's as likely that he gets released and hangs them up within a month, I guess.

If Jose gets released by the Mets he'll be searching hard for another gig rather than just meekly hanging it up. He has children to support, including some with his wife.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 19 2017 01:10 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

It not ready to give up on José yet either, but it's not too early to think about how much more rope he gets.

Zvon Apr 19 2017 01:40 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Reyes is lost up there but I can't give up on him. I might bench him before the break if he don't come around, but I wouldn't release him. After the break, all bets are off.

Zvon Apr 19 2017 01:45 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Benjamin Grimm Apr 19 2017 01:45 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

By "the break" do you mean the All-Star break? You'd continue to let him play every day, with a .085 batting average, for about 90 games???? Familia returns on Thursday.

Ashie62 Apr 19 2017 01:48 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Do the Mets starters have to leave early? I had read give TC as many relievers for Christmas as you can and he will use them all. I have no clue on Reyes but the trend is what it is.

Is there any other "break" in this game? ;) At a certain point in between I would have to do something if he remained in the toilet. Have him coming off the bench might wake him up. I'd just hate to make it to the post and not have Wright & Reyes on the squad if it's possible. It's a sentimental thing, I know. But I feel strongly about it. Up until the ASG. And then, it depends how the team is doing as well as how Reyes is doing. But if he continues on as he is.....he could very well be outta here. I'd be bummed. OMG,lolol.....Reyes drops an easy pop up! CUT HIM! I kid. But jeeze...

Zvon Apr 19 2017 02:46 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

We'll get it back. Montero is in my doghouse. Him, I'm ready to release.

Edgy MD Apr 19 2017 02:47 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Yeah, except there's never enough pitching if you're not planning on scoring more than twice. Doubly so if you're not scoring and your starter is going five. Just never.

Zvon Apr 19 2017 02:48 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Two runs, that's another story. Jeeze Travis. Gah, well he makes that play more than not. Horrible timing.

Fman99 Apr 19 2017 02:49 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Let's get Montero out of there, replace him with a plastic tee. Same thing. Now 4-2 dickheads.

Criminy. The Bizarro Reyes-slash-d'Arnaud Game?

Edgy MD Apr 19 2017 02:50 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

That second hop seemed to skip. Got to step up and get the long hop. Play it like a third baseman.

41Forever Apr 19 2017 02:50 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

That's an error on Lagares? No way.

Lagares played that perfectly and made a very good throw. No reason for him to get an error on that play.

41Forever Apr 19 2017 02:53 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Montero's gotta be headed back to Vegas soon. Maybe when Familia returns?

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 19 2017 02:54 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Optionless or no, Montero has to be the next head on the chopping block.

Not this time.

And even that would be excusable if this game was an outlier for him this year but it's far too close to the norm for him so far. But, like I said earlier, this game has sucked since about Pitch #1 and it's about to be a shitty loss as it passes the four-hour mark. And the Nats won. At least the Yanx got their winning streak all busted up.

Montero's ERA now 9.45. We got a total of 4 hits! Vs. the Phils! That's Phathetic.

Absolutely frigid in the Prom, bailed on our seats for the club in the 5th, watched as well as we could till my brother took off after 9 then I wondered around the 400 level watching Montero do his thing. Felt we were in trouble when Walker retired himself on 1 pitch with 1 out in the 1st after their guy had already thrown 30 pitches. Doodoo and at least 1 other guy also first-pitched themselves out and allowed Eflin to work until the 5th when a better offensive club would have knocked him out of the box in 2/3rds. Couple walks, a single and a wild pitch isn't enough offense to get by. In positive news Zach Wheeler warms up to When the Levee Breaks."

G-Fafif Apr 19 2017 04:47 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

A game as cold as it was dismal and dismal as it was cold. Saw JCL from a distance pregame. Thought about shouting. Didn't as it felt too far for flagging down. Took tenth-inning refuge in the Promenade Club, which was deserted by the final out. SNY was a tick behind the live action, so it was eerie watching Montero give up run after run behind soundproof glass and then hearing Gary Cohen report it as if it were new. Our section featured a guy in a cape with a stuffed lion, the latter to pay homage to Cespedes, the former, well, who asks a guy why he's wearing a cape if a phone booth isn't nearby?

Lefty Specialist Apr 19 2017 11:54 AM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

Followed this shitshow on my phone as we watched the Cards beat the Pirates 2-1. Bucs had 11 hits and one run, so we're not the only ones with offensive problems. Have to assume Montero gets the DFA when Fammy returns. He's been given chance after chance after chance. Time to cut bait. If he succeeds somewhere else, so be it. But he's blown every opportunity the Mets have given him. Buh-bye.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 19 2017 01:20 PM Re: 4-18 IGT: Philly at Mets: Miles Standish Proud

I'd keep running Montero out there until the All-Star break. And then if his ERA is still around 10.00, I'd start to use him a little less frequently.

Maybe Jose has his mind on problems at home or such. I cant help but to think an active Familia may have helped the Mets avoid some of this recent mess.
