IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

Centerfield Jun 21 2017 02:07 PM

Mets at Dodgers. We are starting Tyler Pill. The goal tonight is to record an out before they've scored four runs.

d'Kong76 Jun 21 2017 02:18 PM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

I care! Let's GO Mets!

Benjamin Grimm Jun 21 2017 02:25 PM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

This season has kinda fallen short of expectations, hasn't it? A .600 pace the rest of the way gets them to 86 wins. That sounds nice, but this doesn't look like a .600 team, does it?

Lefty Specialist Jun 21 2017 02:57 PM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

It's a lot more likely that this team finishes with 86 losses.

Fman99 Jun 21 2017 03:11 PM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

This IGT title made me LOL. Nice work.

I'm just looking for going 1.000 tonight. OE: Actually I just aim for a scoreless first.

You can't have these absolute non-competitive games from Wheeler, Gsellman, even deGrom. Even if they were all just slightly worse, including Lugo and Matz, than what are dreams are, they'd have a realistic shot at that.

Chad Ochoseis Jun 21 2017 04:12 PM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

At the current pace, the Nationals will win 99 games and the Diamondbacks will win the second wild card spot with 100. Not that anyone believes the Rockies and Diamondbacks are quite that good, but 86 wins this year will be barely good enough for a participation trophy.

Nationals won't win 99 games and if they go into the playoffs the way they're constructed now they'll get destroyed. It wouldn't be hard to see either a. The Nationals pitching really start to cost them. Maybe not 86 games..but closer to 90? b. one or both of the Rockies falling off that pace and having a bleh second half, in which the second wild card ends up less than 90. The Mets aren't out of it because of the field, they're out of it because them turning on a dime to be a consistent winner seems implausible at this point.

Considering that the last two seasons the Mets looked absolutely miserable at this point of the season and still ended up in the post-season + the core of talented young players that I'm not ready to give up on yet, I'd say as bad as it seems now that the season isn't over. Not saying things are going to get better, just that it's too early to call.

Edgy MD Jun 21 2017 04:56 PM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

Good call.

Frayed Knot Jun 21 2017 04:56 PM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

The one thing keeping the current Mets from being completely out of it at this point is that, once again, the NL as a whole is getting its collective ass kicked by the AL. The record at the moment is 80-57 which translates into the AL playing inter-league games at the pace of a 95 win team while the NL wins like a team on pace to win 67 over a full season.

NY Mets at LA Dodgers When: 10:10 PM ET, Wednesday, June 21, 2017 Where: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California By Gracenote At this point, it’s almost news when the Los Angeles Dodgers don’t hit at least four home runs in a single game. The red-hot Dodgers have won five straight games and 11 of their last 12 heading into Wednesday’s matchup against the visiting New York Mets, who have allowed a total of nine homers and been outscored 22-6 in the first two contests of the four-game series. One day after Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger recorded his fifth multi-homer performance in a 10-6 victory, Corey Seager followed with the second three-homer effort of his career in Tuesday’s 12-0 rout. Bellinger went 3-for-4 with his National League-best 22nd home run and four RBIs in Tuesday’s win as Los Angeles moved a season-high 20 games over .500 and remained one-half game behind first-place Colorado in the NL West. While the Dodgers are powering forward, the Mets have lost five of their last six and fallen a season high-tying eight games below .500. New York could use a strong start from Tyler Pill on Wednesday after Zack Wheeler and Robert Gsellman opened the series with back-to-back early exits. TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, SNY (New York), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Tyler Pill (0-2, 3.75 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Rich Hill (3-3, 5.14) Pill will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to make a spot start in place of Matt Harvey before the Mets go back to a five-man rotation next week. The 27-year-old Pill last pitched for the Mets in relief on June 10 at Atlanta, working one scoreless inning. He earned a return to the majors after allowing two runs over seven frames in Thursday’s start for Las Vegas, where he’s gone 4-1 with a 2.04 ERA in eight turns this season. Hill turned in his worst performance of the season on Thursday, allowing seven runs over four innings in a 12-5 loss to Cleveland. The 37-year-old was 12-5 with a 2.12 ERA last season but hasn't lasted longer than five innings in any of his eight starts this year. Hill has gone 3-1 with a 2.83 ERA in six starts at Dodger Stadium this season but owns an 0-2 record and 13.50 ERA in four career games (two starts) against the Mets. WALK-OFFS: 1. The Dodgers are 36-14 in their last 50 games, their best 50-game stretch since 2013. 2. Mets SS Asdrubal Cabrera (thumb) began a rehab assignment Tuesday with Single-A St. Lucie and could return to the team Friday in San Francisco. 3. Dodgers 3B Justin Turner went 0-for-4 on Tuesday, ending his 14-game hitting streak.

"Watch the skill! the balls they'll drill!"

Out of town update: Max Scherzer carried a no-hitter into the 8th but then the Marlins scored twice -- IF single, Error, HBP, Wild Pitch (scores 1), and then an RBI single by Stanton Four Miami pitchers held the Nats to 5 hits including a Ryan Raburn HR for their lone run (are their subs on a HR/day quota or does it just seem that way?) Scherzer walked 1 and K'd 11

Oh, I'll watch. But while finding a reason to root for the playoffs may be an optimistic, good-for-the-soul call... it certainly isn't an objectively good one. I mean, I'll be happily wrong, but... not only are we injury-ravaged, but the ONE thing that was our supposed strength is actually the thing that's been worst for us... and doesn't promise to get much better. I'm a thin-principled-edge away from turning into the skid and rooting for a collapse/high draft pick.

Hey, Ann Coulter is back behind home plate. She disappeared after the third inning last night.

It could be an incredible simulation. The Mets infield has not been an incredible simulation of a big league infield.

Frayed Knot Jun 22 2017 03:09 AM Re: IGT - 6/21 - Who fucking cares anymore

Good thing there were runners on 1st & 2nd there so TJ didn't have to throw across the diamond. The inning would probably still be going if he did.

Much ado this morning about Puig's slow trip after his HR and Flores' response. Puig trots around the bases faster than Flores runs. Here's an idea: stop giving up so many homeruns. And I'm pretty sure that Yo recently clocked in at over 30 seconds, too. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseb ... -1.3267785
