It's Sunday, so expect Rivera behind the dish, Granderson subbing for Céspedes and his hip in the outfield, and Flores to be somewhere in the infield. Possibly Reynolds Wrap also.

Pretty close, Edgy! I expect a big bounce back game from Matt. Let's hope the offense remains!

Crumbs. Roxx get their first lead of the series. I'd like to see a curve or a change, Matzy.

Edgy MD Jul 16 2017 05:27 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Just get at least one back, man.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 16 2017 05:35 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Get your shit together, Matz. I swear he's the most irritating player the Mets have. Great start, shit start, monthlong injury, you get it all with this guy.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 16 2017 05:38 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

eff you, Matz.

Edgy MD Jul 16 2017 05:39 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Well, um, 7-0 is a lot.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 16 2017 05:40 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Get the eff off the mound Matz.

What day is it? Sunday? I'll be taking a nap. Enjoy folks.

Go, Go, Goeddel!

d'Kong76 Jul 16 2017 06:10 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Jesus Alou, I fire up the tablet and we're down a touchdown. Plug in to HIGH... I said HIGH!

Edgy MD Jul 16 2017 06:39 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Duda just fulfills all haters' criticism of him by bringing his powa down 9-0. I'll take it. Let's grind.

41Forever Jul 16 2017 06:41 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Is Matz hurt again?

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 16 2017 06:42 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Probably. But if he's not, just wait: He will be. Worthless POS

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 16 2017 06:51 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Here's a real man, Matz: Jacob deGrom.

Field Goal; chip away, chip away at the stone...

Frayed Knot Jul 16 2017 07:00 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Thanks to Duda & Cabrera the Mets line score is no longer unsullied and, like Jon Snow, you only think they're dead.

41Forever Jul 16 2017 07:25 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

I think I'm starting to see why the other teams traded or passed in Cespedes.

Stop what you're doing: Neil Ramirez is in!

I see Neil Ramirez and know how this is going. 2 weeks to sell Sandy.

Digging holes in wet turf with your knee was in the scouting report. Just saw that, never mind.

Ashie62 Jul 16 2017 08:57 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Dump Asdrubal Cabrera, insert Amed Rosario.

I'd be curious to add up all his days on the DL, or, since its the Mets, days he should have been on the DL, but wasn't. It seems like he's been on the shelf a third of the time he's been here. When he's on, we all know he's a monster. But he can't seem to stay on the field.

d'Kong76 Jul 17 2017 01:28 AM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

And other teams knew this so they traded him or passed? But not the Mets. Did you see the divot he took out of the turf with his knee?? It was a monster divot! Terrible divot.

In the meantime, were you anti-Ces signing or just 'starting to see?' things that aren't/weren't really there?

It's right about two weeks shy of two years since the deal that brought him here and since then he's played 233 games as a Met. And while that's less than the 300+ that you'd want out of nearly two complete seasons, most of what he's missed is due to the injury that caused him to miss 37 straight games this year. Other than that, there's been one other DL stint and that was the bare minimum of 14 games missed in 2016. Today was a day off on account of his ugly dive Saturday plus maybe the day game, to read much beyond that is an over reaction. And while he has been here he's putting up a .282/.346/.545 line (better than his overall career rates) with 57 HRs and 110 XBH in what has been essentially 1.5 seasons. If you want to rue what we got out of that deal and everything that comes with it be my guest, but I won't be joining you.

The trade got us to the World Series, and I don't have any regrets. And as I said, I was very supportive of re-signing him. I saw the story on Mets Blog about him leaving the game Saturday with a sore hip and Terry's quote about sitting out today and thought he was going to be day-to-day again.

Frayed Knot Jul 17 2017 03:17 AM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

Well everybody is day-to-day technically. He hit the ground hard Saturday night, sat today as a result of that and the old DGANT. He'll likely be in tomorrow. Or maybe not, who knows. But players are going to get hurt, it happens.

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 04:00 AM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

And Céspedes' hip didn't give up no 13 runs. I think there's going to be more to this. When does a guy slide and his knee end up getting under the turf? I'm calling groundskeeper error.

I'm not offended, I just think your original notion that 29 other teams passed on Ces because they saw (and now you see) something that probably isn't there is silly. Did you see the size of the hole he put in the outfield with his leg?

Did you see the size of the hole he put in the outfield with his leg? I did, and it was huge. That had to hurt. He's on his fourth team -- granted, traded once for a future Cy Young winner and then for a future Rookie of the Year -- and none of the teams that are traditionally big spenders topped the Mets, so I was wondering aloud. Again, very happy to be wrong. When you made the comment about my staff and, "Politicians, lol" I wondered if there was something going on beyond a baseball discussion. That's all.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 17 2017 04:33 PM Re: IGT 07/16 - COL at NYM - Rockin' the Second Half (lll)

I feel like Cespedes has ben a huge disappointment this year, still struggling with the same injuries he suffered last year. The lineup hasn't been terrific altogether but Cespedes has also had pretty good guys hitting in front of and behind him all year but is sitting there with fewer than 20 RBI.
