IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

Wheeler. Wainwright. Win. No, not you. You. 4:10 start.

Been an up and down year for the soon-to-be 36 y/o Wainwright. He's 9-5 but with a 5.48 ERA and 1.55 WHIP as he seems to alternate good performances with ones where he gets smacked around. At one point towards the end of May he had 4 straight outings where he allowed a total of 1 run, but since then has coughed up 9, then 2, then 9 again, then 2, 2, and 6. He notched a win in his last outing as part of the four game split the Cards just had with the Marlins but only because he was given 14 runs while he struggled to get through the minimum five. The short outing in general is becoming the norm for him these days; he hasn't once gone beyond 7 this year and in more than half his outings (9 of 17) he's lasted 5 innings or less.

Curtis Granderson – CF Asdrúbal Cabrera – 2B Yoenis Céspedes – LF Jay Bruce – RF T.J. Rivera – 3B Lucas Duda – 1B José Reyes – SS Travis d’Arnaud – C Zack Wheeler - RHP Conforto off the DL. Nimmo on it (partially collapsed lung...not THAT serious, says his manager).

Was kinda hoping for Nimmo.

Let's GO Mets!

Curveballers like Wainwright seems to be among the most susceptible to getting screwed by 2017.

Frayed Knot Jul 08 2017 08:42 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

TJ gets a long throw across the diamond to 1st on the fly!! That's a nice change of pace.

Frayed Knot Jul 08 2017 08:49 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

Wheeler = 33 pitches thru 2 innings, Wainwright = 33 pitches thru 3, despite both allowing only 1 baserunner Seen this movie before.

I feel like TJ could have smothered that ball and kept the run from coming around

And BTW, nice job representing by The 7 Line Army in the outfield! An oasis of blue within the sea of red today.

Dammit d'Arnaud

I hate to say it but I have more confidence in Rene Rivera's hitting than d'Arnaud's. Is Salas done? I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and blame it on overuse.

Yeah but dArnaud a better pitcher than Salas. Salas is terrible. We got a dead cat bounce last year.

Run harder and you may find that ball, Brucie. But I'll take the Goeddel K.

Frayed Knot Jul 08 2017 10:46 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

Was that our 56th strikeout of the day or 57th, I lost track?

Edgy MD Jul 08 2017 10:46 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

Cecil making Mets look stoopit.

Edgy MD Jul 08 2017 10:47 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

Also very kind of the Mets to help yet another temporary Cardinals shortstop find All Star form.

DeJong! Did the Mets forget to scout this guy?

cooby Jul 08 2017 11:01 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

Is this team streaky or what?

Frayed Knot Jul 08 2017 11:13 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

This game is a prime example of one that was sailing along for six innings ... but that was more than an hour ago. Once we hit the 7th though it was like the brakes got slammed on and the last 12 outs have gone by at a snail's pace. The NYM 'basket of deplorables' bullpen hasn't helped.

Ashie62 Jul 08 2017 11:13 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

Wheeler is the POTG Then again.. DUDA

Ashie62 Jul 08 2017 11:19 PM Re: IGT 7/8/2017: NYM@STL -- Either Way, a W

We lost.

The Mets aren't good enough to beat the better teams (Dodgers, Nationals, Diamondbacks, & Rockies) so they tend to go on losing streaks against them, but they are good enough to beat the weak, bottom tier teams (Phillies, Giants, Reds, & Padres) when their wins tend to mount up. Against the other mid-level teams, victory is roughly a 50/50 proposition (unless of course, Montero is starting, then the odds drop dramatically).
