IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

41Forever May 16 2017 12:36 PM

I'll try to bring some good luck here. I get that the DBacks are trying something bold and new, and there are people who scoffed at looks that are now considered classics, like the Astros' rainbows. But I'm just not getting into what the Snakes did, especially the pattern on the caps. The Mets, by comparison, look so good out there, at least until the bullpen takes the hill. Here's hoping for a complete game from Tommy Milone, (1-0, 5.88) tonight against Zack Greinke, (4-2, 2.79.)

NY Mets at Arizona When: 9:40 PM ET, Tuesday, May 16, 2017 Where: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona By Gracenote Zack Greinke seeks his fourth consecutive victory when the Arizona Diamondbacks host the New York Mets on Tuesday in the middle contest of a three-game series. The right-hander has a 2.06 ERA over his last five starts and allowed only one run in three of the outings. Greinke was superb in his last turn when he allowed one run and one hit over eight innings while beating Pittsburgh and struck out 11 for the second time in four outings. He will be looking to pitch the Diamondbacks to their fifth victory in the past seven games as well as follow up a performance in which teammate Zack Godley held New York to one run and one hit over 6 2/3 innings in Monday's 7-3 victory. New York has dropped five consecutive games - one shy of its season-worst slide - and has allowed a whopping 42 runs during the stretch. The Mets badly miss injured left fielder Yoenis Cespedes (hamstring) while center fielder Curtis Granderson (.148 average) has been unable to shake his season-long slump despite going 1-for-3 in the opener. TV: 9:40 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN Arizona PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets LH Tommy Milone (1-0, 5.88 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks RH Zack Greinke (4-2, 2.79) Milone allowed two runs and six hits in a five-inning no-decision against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday in his first outing with the Mets. The 30-year-old began the season with the Milwaukee Brewers and was waived May 7 after going 1-0 with a 6.43 ERA in six appearances (three starts). Milone made one career start against the Diamondbacks in 2012 as a member of the Oakland Athletics and allowed four runs and nine hits over five innings in a no-decision. Greinke owns a splendid 1.03 WHIP through eight starts and has 58 strikeouts against only nine walks. The 33-year-old hasn't lost at Chase Field this season, going 3-0 with a 2.27 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in five turns. Greinke is 4-1 with 2.74 ERA in seven career starts against the Mets and has shut down right fielder Jay Bruce (7-for-37, 11 strikeouts, one homer) while struggling with shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (15-for-35). WALK-OFFS: 1. Diamondbacks LF Yasmany Tomas hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the eighth inning Monday - making him 5-for-34 in May. 2. Cabrera (thumb) will likely miss his third consecutive game Tuesday and the Mets are considering placing him on the 10-day disabled list. 3. Arizona placed CF A.J. Pollock (groin) on the DL, recalled OF Reymond Fuentes from Triple-A Reno and designated RHP Enrique Burgos for assignment.

Not watching until they win. I missed most of the 2003 season this way.

Can Granderson bat 10th?

d'Kong76 May 17 2017 01:02 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

I'm doing what I did last night, dvr'ng game and auto-dvr the fast forward thing. Hopefully tomorrow I won't be doing what did this morning, deleting both. I'm not always like this/that, I can go through stretches of suckitude with the best of them but not right now for some reason...

I put it on. Lord help me, 11 o'clock curfew.

Wilmer with a ground rule double into the pool...... Not something one gets to do a lot

Fman99 May 17 2017 02:09 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Grandy with the bases loaded BB. We'll take it!

cooby May 17 2017 02:14 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

My god. we've sunk so low

themetfairy May 17 2017 02:26 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Luis Gonzalez looks like d'Kong with a toupee.

Edgy MD May 17 2017 02:30 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Looks about 20 years older than he should.

Edgy MD May 17 2017 02:31 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

But yeah, looks a little d'Kong-y. But dang, second and third and no oots.

Wow, Duda threw it almost in the same spot as 2015, huh?

Edgy MD May 17 2017 02:51 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

I disagree that Duda could've had the runner there. That one seemed to be on Walker. But a tip of the hat to the Diamondbacks for creativity and their aggressiveness. Take a note, Walker.

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 02:53 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Either Walker OR Duda coulda/shoulda had Goldschmidt out ... but neither did.

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 02:54 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Oh good, another XBH!

Edgy MD May 17 2017 03:01 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Ed Lynch gonna be in the booth. Worth staying up for, d'Kong!

d'Kong76 May 17 2017 03:02 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

'nother half hour, against my better judgement.

Edgy MD May 17 2017 03:04 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Fucking Grandy. His hardest hit of the year.

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 03:04 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Would have been better had Curtis done that in his last AB when the sacks were drunk, but we'll take it.

Edgy MD May 17 2017 03:09 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Great job, Eddie.

d'Kong76 May 17 2017 03:13 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Ed Lynch in the booth makes me glad to stay up, and not potentially deleting the game in the am.

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 03:38 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

5 ER in 5.2 innings - and so the league's worst starters ERA ticks up a couple more notches.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 17 2017 03:43 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Ed Lunch. Almost as hot as Rene Rivera

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 17 2017 03:58 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Seaweed giving them good innings. He's salty and a little slimy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 17 2017 04:33 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

Drive safely.

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 11:59 AM Re: IGT 5/16/17 -- Best uniforms in baseball vs D-Backs

I feel like the fact that we neither got blown out nor had a full-on bullpen meltdown made this loss seem like it was a step in the right direction. How sad is that?
