I think, for my own sanity, I may consider ignoring this game tomorrow. We'll see...

At least it's not like we're tremendously shorthanded and have to face Scherzer on national television or anything.

Good day for a nap or yardwork.

"Sunny Sunday" perhaps but not at 8:05. Howie said today "that's 8:05 PM... 8:05 AM would be preferable."

Centerfield Apr 23 2017 12:08 PM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
What is more likely tonight? A Scherzer no-hitter or a Mets win?

Watch it on ESPN Deportes. It is WAY less annoying than the regular ESPN broadcasts.

Frayed Knot Apr 23 2017 08:26 PM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
I suspect it'll be back to ESPN's standard SNB crew of Schulman, Mendoza, Boone - meaning no clown shows involving Dallas Braden except for the pregame nonsense.

After the sunny Sunday is blanketed in darkness, the Mets will try to light up the night with this lineup:

Not a bad lineup all things considered. Plawecki gets another shot.

Facing the Mets line up is apparently how pitching staffs pad their stats. Beyond the home run hitting, there is little about the Mets offense to like. I expecti Scherzer to dominate the Mets hitters as the Nationals cruise to a series sweep.

Reyes is in the lineup. I predict Jose's gonna have a big game. He's GOTTA have a big game!

Zvon Apr 24 2017 12:14 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Howie (radio) is a pitch ahead of the ESPN TV broadcast. I can deal w/that. I'll hear what's going to happen from Howie before it happens.

Great interview of Cespedes. I'm very impressed that he has worked so hard on his English.

As I've explained before, ESPN isn't televising a baseball game they're running an episode of their weekly TV show, and if that happens to involve showing you pieces of the game well then that'll be a nice coincidence.

Wheeler's looking about as good as he has all year, that Murph granny-- which was golfed, on a not-terrible pitch, btw-- notwithstanding.
|
Frayed Knot Apr 24 2017 01:30 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
|
A quick 5th though gets him to 77 thru 5, just a shade above the 15/per standard and more or less where you'd like to see him. Certainly could get him through two more if things don't go all pear-shaped.
|
Edgy MD Apr 24 2017 01:31 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Wheels has sure shown fortitude of character from where I sit tonight.

Frayed Knot Apr 24 2017 01:33 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Conforto now 5-fer-11 career vs Scherzer .... even if those last two haven't exactly been shots.
|
Frayed Knot Apr 24 2017 01:34 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
That didn't look fair to me.
|
Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2017 01:35 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
I think Cabrera was arguing that it was foul. I believe both you and he may have been correct.
|
41Forever Apr 24 2017 01:36 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Conforto ain't going back to Vegas any time soon.

Fman99 Apr 24 2017 01:41 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |

I like this one, this is powerfully goofy and awesome looking.
|
Fman99 Apr 24 2017 01:43 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Wheeler gets through 6 IP at less than 100 pitches thrown. Nice to see progress there, especially after the first inning doodie fest.
|
Zvon Apr 24 2017 01:48 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
|
I didn't think it was but no one even questioned it. lol& ty@Fman Thank God for Conforto or this would be torture to watch. We have got to take advantage of the fact Scherzer does not have his good stuff.
|
Frayed Knot Apr 24 2017 01:48 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |

It's up to him at this point to not only make himself indispensable to the roster but also to the starting lineup. Make it so that someone has to take a spot away from you.
|
Zvon Apr 24 2017 01:49 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |

I didn't catch that. Looked a good foot outside from the rear view.

Cabrera questioned the home plate about it because it's his call until the ball reaches 1st base (which it never did) and those calls aren't reviewable.
|

I didn't think it was but no one even questioned it. Because it ended an inning, we got no analysis. It's not reviewable but it should have been discussed. The ESPN crew would rather discuss their fantasy teams. Also no analysis of strike 3 to Granderson.
|
Frayed Knot Apr 24 2017 01:54 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
|
92 thru 6 so this is almost certainly his last inning even if he goes 1-2-3 Unfortunately, Scherzer's on an even better pitch count - 78
|
Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2017 01:59 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
The ESPN booth talks virtually non-stop, unfortunately very little of it concerns the actual game being played.

Zvon Apr 24 2017 02:00 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
I'm happy with Wheeler's outing. Nice to see him get a little deeper into the game.
|
Fman99 Apr 24 2017 02:02 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
I want more analysis of Scherzer's non matching eyeballs. He's an odd looking bird.
|
Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2017 02:04 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Overall, an encouraging start by Wheeler.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2017 02:17 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |

Overall, a very GOOD start. He made one or two mistakes, and they weren't even big ones; he just happened to get punished for one of 'em.

But like in Friday's game it was an opposite field hit by Harper off Smokie that set it all up. The guy is really good and his team is otherwise hot, we couldn't have caught them at a worse time.

Yes, it's a ballgame, and yes, it's irritating that it's a 10-straight-minute stint in the middle of the ninth... but Shulman bringing up Bumgarner's dumb dirt bike decision, then holding Boone's feet to the fire-- following a harsh-but-fair critique of Bumgarner-- about his own contract-violating off-field injury with the MFYs made for pretty compelling TV.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2017 02:41 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |

Or, alternatively, hit. That'll work, too. Why even bring IN Ollie for a LOOGY thing with a three-run lead?
|
Zvon Apr 24 2017 02:43 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Lead off single for Bruuuuuce.
|
Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2017 02:45 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Short cameo appearance by Oliver Perez. Dusty does know that Walkers a better hitter with most of his HRs coming from the left side? Apparently not. Either that or he knows what he has in Perez.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2017 02:49 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Walker is, like, allergic to low, down-the-middle fastballs with two strikes? It's a problem, lately. He just refuses to touch them.
|
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 24 2017 02:51 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
Cespedes in the on-deck circle, going Willis Reed on us here?

Reyes going Reyes, unfortunately.

That's 1-8 in their last 9. Gross.

Rockin' Doc Apr 24 2017 02:55 AM Re: IGT 4/23 Sunny Sunday Mets vs Nationals |
I figured there was little chance of Cespedes actually getting to the plate since that would require Reyes to successfully reach base.

And then tack on one more scoreless / 1-hit inning to the above. But it turns out that the Rockies can hit the Nats pen as tonight they smacked around all the guys we couldn't touch. Romero: 2 runs allowed in 2/3 of an inning Treinen: 3 runs on 6 hits in 1/3 In all the Rox scored 2 in the 6th, 2 in the 7th, and 3 in the 8th to lead 8-4
