IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Edgy MD Jun 08 2017 09:02 PM

Matt Harvey, veteran of many skirmishes, bearer of many scars, faces perhaps his greatest nemesis yet: TBD. I was surprised by the digital schedule on display Tuesday night that suggested Keith Hernandez was expected to return. That would be surprising, but hey, Yoenis, take a hint! Keith is 63 and recovering from a partial knee replacement! With Matz and Lugo expected to get the bump later in the series, Gsellman allegedly joins the bullpen. Still holding my breath for some hot new lineup action.

I think Keith is penciled in for the Chicago series starting Monday at home. Don't think he's going to travel to hot 'lanta for this one unless he was already down there for the Gregg Allman services or something. One never knows who Keith knows.

That T.B. Dee has a filthy slider. Filthy, I tell ya. (tomorrow is the 9th)

I typed that shit. I did. But it didn't take.

d'Kong76 Jun 09 2017 12:42 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD

Stupid auto-fill.

Ashie62 Jun 09 2017 11:53 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD

Per cbs TBD is, wait for it, Julio Teheran. Nooooooo

Edgy MD Jun 09 2017 12:19 PM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD

I fear no Julio Teheran. Or any pitcher the Braves throw at the Mets. Heck, if anything, I delight in opposing lefthanders' increased ability to keep Curtis Granderson out of the lineup. What I fear for the Mets is them beating themselves.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jun 09 2017 12:56 PM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD

Worth noting (especially with the impending return of Yo): Granderson has been hitting lefties and everyone else much, MUCH better than Bruuuuuce since April's end. Like, nearly 200 points of OPS better. Hell, HR numbers be damned, he's even outslugging the guy. Also worth noting: a Cespedes-Granderson-Conforto OF is likely much better defensively than a Ces-Conforto-Bruce one.

I mean, I'd be good with that. (Not exclusively, but at least partly because of the increased amount of deep flies and liners our staff seems to be giving up this year.) But, y'know, the powers-t-b?

Granderson and Bruce are welcome to wrestle for playing time, but his defense has been troubling me as much as anything. And my rooting interest remains a Nimmo-Lagares platoon in center. The problem with advocating for trades remains, as always, the vagaries of the market.

Walker still out with knee issues. TJ at 2B

TJ gets a starting nod. Good. With Legares, it would be better. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 10 2017 12:45 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD

Grandyman be like, shut up.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2017 01:07 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD

That Enciarte play had some Lagares polish. That shot was never more than 30 feet off the ground.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2017 01:17 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD

Hey, Harvey made a semi-tough play!

Edgy MD Jun 10 2017 01:20 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Harvey's at 104? Keep going. At least until he gives up a baserunner.

d'Kong76 Jun 10 2017 01:21 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

With some S(h)oddy footing below him.

Any chance of a score?

After 5 1/2, hard to feel one run is gonna cut it tonight...

Herb Gardner Jun 10 2017 01:40 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Oh I think one run is plenty

Ashie62 Jun 10 2017 01:42 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Harvey couldn't go six I guess. Teheren owns us. Get to the pen.

Herb Gardner Jun 10 2017 01:43 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Is it me or is everything suddenly in bold?

Suzuki could not have popped up higher there.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2017 01:50 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Ah, man you should have pitched Swanson away. You can't beat him inside multiple times in a row.

Seaweed.

Another 25-foot-high frozen rope of a drive by d'Arnaud.

Happy to have this be a close game, and have Harv not pitch like he had an onion stuffed up his butt.

Fman99 Jun 10 2017 02:25 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Cabrera's noodle arm costs an out there. Enough of him, really.

Edgy MD Jun 10 2017 02:26 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Well, I guess that's the difference between the two shortstops in this game.

Yay! Solid K/throw by d'Arnizzle to get 2.

Aw, Grandy is lolligagging out there. Fuck.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 10 2017 02:48 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Revolting

Edgy MD Jun 10 2017 02:49 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

It's not particularly fair to make too much of it, but a hit to Cabrera's left, and a hit to Cabrera's right, and the game is over.

41Forever Jun 10 2017 02:50 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

Rats!!

He didn't even dive for either one.

Aw fuck, I thought I had it on pause but just came up to see the final... probably better off...

41Forever Jun 10 2017 02:52 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

If only we had a young, dynamic shortstop like Swanson. Oh wait, we do. But he's playing in Las Vegas a little while longer so we can pay him less for an extra year.

Fman99 Jun 10 2017 02:54 AM Re: IGT 6/9/2017: NYM@ATL, Harvey@TBD (Teheran)

That 9th inning sucked a 2L soda bottle full of micropenises.
