Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

Frayed Knot May 25 2017 02:47 AM

7:10 deGrom vs Dinelson Lamet Lamet was just called up and will be making his ML debut From John Sickels: Lamet ranked eighth on the pre-season San Diego Padres Top 20 prospects for 2017. Signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2014 for $100,000. He was already 21-years-old, unusually aged for a Dominican player, but he’s certainly justified their faith with his pitching. He posted a 2.99 ERA with a 120/44 K/BB in 105 innings in Low-A in 2015, then vaulted three levels in 2016, ending the year in Triple-A. Posted 3.00 ERA with 158/61 K/BB in 150 innings between High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A with just 126 hits allowed; impressive 90-96 MPH fastball with good movement, also has a plus slider, racks up strikeouts; change-up erratic, some observers rate it as major league average, others say it is quite weak; opinion on the change-up determines if you see him as a starter or reliever; given proven ability to eat innings I’d give him a chance to start and see if the change can progress to decency. So far in 2017 he’s thrown 39 innings for Triple-A El Paso, posting a 3.23 ERA with a 50/20 K/BB with 32 hits allowed. Lamet is officially listed at 6-4, 190 (although he looks heavier than that, he’s probably 220), a right-handed hitter and thrower born July 18, 1992. He’s maintained the mid-90s fastball he showed last year and has held his peak velocities readily. He still has the plus slider, too, and the K/IP ratio in the Pacific Coast League is not lying about his ability. His control can still wobble at times and opinions about his change-up remain mixed, although this hasn’t had any serious negative impact in Triple-A. The Padres obviously believe in him as a starter and they know him better than anyone. If they are right, he could be at least a number three starter.

I guess we get Travis d back in the lineup today. Raining heavily this morning.

Edgy MD May 25 2017 01:57 PM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

It may be just in time. Rivera is starting to hit like Rivera again.

MFS62 May 25 2017 02:36 PM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

The MFYS have already postponed their game. And the relievers are hoping the Mets will so the same. Later

Frayed Knot May 25 2017 07:57 PM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

Nats and Braves both pre-lost this afternoon, so if we do get this game in there's a chance to leap the Braves and close the gap on the Nats.

seawolf17 May 25 2017 08:16 PM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

deG pushed back because of "weather" (read: probably a severed arm, we'll see him again in 2019) Montero gets the call, will give up twelve runs in three innings.

Frayed Knot May 25 2017 08:25 PM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

Translation: They know this game is going to be delayed, interrupted, or just plain canceled so why waste a potentially good start from the guy who is essentially our only reliable starter this season. They were going to have to go to a new starter on Saturday anyway so the spare guy goes tonight instead.

Frayed Knot May 25 2017 09:14 PM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

So Cabrera active but not starting, and Jay Bruce's back tightness turns out to be a minor thing after all. Both lineups contain a d'Arnaud batting 8th.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 25 2017 10:26 PM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

It's not raining now and slowed up considerably some time ago. I'm sure they get this one in.

This is just depressing. Give all who came tonight a free ducat for September, there will be plenty of room.

If this goes 11-1 with Plawecki pitching I have to believe some change will come.

Shutout inning, bitches. I think his deal is he's not cahnfident using the top half of the strike zone. That's half a pitcher.

El Met homers off of Lamet.

Questionable send? 2nd and 3rd w/ 1 out and Bruce coming up wouldn't be so bad. Great relay throw.

Edgy MD May 26 2017 12:23 AM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

Lamet's done. And tell him to give Robles back his haircut before he leaves the park.

d'Kong76 May 26 2017 12:24 AM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

Yeah, that was a nice bang bang play for the bad guys. Great when it works but feels like they ran themselves out of the inning there.

Edgy MD May 26 2017 12:24 AM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

Shoulda bunted, Conforto.

And they go to Rivera instead but he does a Grandy and whiffs.

Time to get two, but only two, runners on this inning. Your mission is to guess which two will be stranded. Walker is the early favorite.

I was right about the only two hits part, but they accidentally scored a run while doing so. Someone will need to talk to them about that. Those 8 LOBs could be even worse seeing as how they've also had three runners erased on the paths: the one out at home and the two on the front end of GiDPs

d'Kong76 May 26 2017 02:10 AM Re: Padres @ Mets IGT, Thu 5/25/17

I keep reading that the Mets don't want to promote Tyler Pill because they're not sure that he'll be effective in the major leagues. I have to think it's worth a shot. They're giving major league innings to pitchers who are proving that they're not effective in the major leagues.
