Shortest homestand ever between two long road trips and an All Star Break. It's, like, three home games in four weeks. Sorry, Matt Harvey, you need to stop partying and report to work for a few days.

Ceetar Jun 30 2017 05:44 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

I'm pretty sure I'm not off Monday.

cooby Jun 30 2017 05:55 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

I'm pretty sure I'm not off today either

Fman99 Jun 30 2017 05:58 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

I'm off till Wednesday, starting in about 2 hours and 3 minutes. So, FUCK YEAH. And because of that, playing the greatest party song ever, by the greatest bar band EVAH. [youtube:3okicad8]oBiSJ8jCTjA[/youtube:3okicad8]

seawolf17 Jun 30 2017 07:30 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

I'm off today and Monday (and the rest of next week because fuck stress) and yes, I've already poured my first beer of the weekend after spending the morning throwing out three enormous garbage bags of crap out of the kids' rooms and the kitchen.

Ashie62 Jun 30 2017 08:55 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Wheeler comes back tomorrow, guessing Conforto hits the DL.

cooby Jun 30 2017 08:58 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Will wheeler stay healthy for 48 hours?... Stay tined

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 09:47 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Duda back out there, but the lineup is still looking unConfortoble. Welcome back, Ty Kelly!

I don't know how difficult it was to research this but I heard on WFAN yesterday that deGrom's career ERA in games that start before 5 PM is the lowest in baseball over the past 100 years. It is around 1.60. Its around 6:30 PM, too late to call MLB and have the game moved up. But for future reference ... Later

Ashie62 Jun 30 2017 10:47 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

The 7 day weekend is where its at. No Conforto.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 11:07 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Has anyone ever tracked the Mets record based on who the announced 'State Farm Agent of the Day' is? I certainly think that sort of information is vital to know. Maybe Elias can tell me.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 11:52 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Curtis knocking it up the middle consistently. First run in.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2017 11:53 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

And Cabrera running like a shlub to first.

Frayed Knot Jun 30 2017 11:55 PM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Nice that they finally got a run across, but this Lively guy is 50-some pitches in and has retired [u:2aw52ahw]4 of the 11 batters he's faced[/u:2aw52ahw]. With a stretch like that he should already be in the shower with at least a 5-spot attached to him.

Ceetar Jul 01 2017 12:00 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

been a Lively game so far.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 12:01 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Man, Kelly looked overmatched against deGrom.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 12:05 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

A double call by the ump? How bush league, but he got the call right.

Ceetar Jul 01 2017 12:07 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

runs now?

Lefty Specialist Jul 01 2017 12:15 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Annoying SNY trick: that little box that shows the baserunners on the whole diamond which blocks a quarter of the screen. Please stop.

Don't mind seeing it once if there's an unusual shift going on, but show it then remove it. I think they're starting to get the hang of their new toy, but in the first couple of uses they were leaving up there too long.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2017 12:36 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Oh geez. I was starting to believe

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 12:39 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Outfielders losing a ball should count as an error. Every time.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2017 12:42 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

That lost ball screwed up a lot. Not just the no-hitter and obviously the run, but it also cost deGrom another 8 pitches to get through the inning and prevented him from leading off the 6th with the 8 & 9 hitters instead of the top of the order.

Even Herrera is befuddled tonight.

Let's get him a pad.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 12:59 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Lively's high heat is ... lively.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2017 01:01 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Yeah but we probably should have knocked him out in the 2nd. I have a bad feeling suddenly

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 01 2017 01:04 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Travis

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 01:05 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

d'Arnaud the old p'Raud!

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 01:07 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Williams had pretty bad stole base percentages in the minors. I looked it up this morning.

John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: Yeah but we probably should have knocked him out in the 2nd. I have a bad feeling suddenly Yup! This is going to be a battle of the bullpens over the last 2-1/2 and that's probably the one place where the Phils match up well vs us.

This game needs a Dudy Bomb.

Frayed Knot Jul 01 2017 01:11 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

4 Philly CY winners? Carlton, Bunning, Bedrosian and ???

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 01:16 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Foul tip strikeout, but look at Nimmo working the count.

Kelly so far in front of Blevvy's curveball that his eyes were closed by the time the ball hit the catcher's mitt.

Edgy MD Jul 01 2017 01:24 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

Two Phils with their first big-league hit tonight. We can't afford to give them that much hope. And now they're pinch-hitting for Herrera?

Frayed Knot wrote: Frayed Knot wrote: 4 Philly CY winners? Carlton, [crossout]Bunning[/crossout], Bedrosian and John Denny & Roy Halladay I was thinking Jim Konstanty (1950). But the reliever won the MVP, not the Cy Young award. Later

Mainly because the CY award didn't exist until the late '50s - and even then there was only one combined for both leagues until a decade after that.

Neshek is one of those guys I would imagine Washington is eyeing.

Fman99 Jul 01 2017 01:43 AM Re: 5-Day Party Weekend Kickoff IGT 6/30

I like the little inset window of the infield in the lower left, mid pitch. Cool to see what the fielders are doing in that otherwise mostly empty space.

The Mets used five infielders today, all of whom came up as shortstops.
