IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Ashie62 Jul 16 2017 09:05 PM

Our starter has a better ERA than theirs, really!

Ashie62 Jul 17 2017 05:18 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Most Mets players are auditioning for whether or not they will be here 8/1. O.T. But bye Asdrubal! LETS GO SHaMS

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 07:06 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Will Wheeler flourish now that he knows what the inside of a ball looks like?

Ashie62 Jul 17 2017 07:09 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

It is most certainly so.

Lefty Specialist Jul 17 2017 07:22 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Build that trade value, Mets!

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 07:26 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Get your bets down. For once, Terry posts his lineup before the opposition. No surprises.

Bit of a different StL team from the one we saw pre-break in that OFs Randal Grichuck and Steven Piscotty have both been DL'd so that their OF these days is Pham & Fowler in LF & CF with either the 28 y/o rookie Jose Martinez or the guy whose name Keith & Gary were tossing around yesterday, Magneuris Sierra, covering RF. 2B Kolten Wong, who was not active in the last series, has since been called up and started two of the three games since the break. They came out of the break losing 2 of 3 in Pittsburgh with both losses coming via walk-offs Carlos Martinez pitched on Sunday so he should be the one guy we miss in this four game set - although he was also the one guy we hit in the earlier series so go figure. Looks like we'll get Wainwright followed by Wacha. After that Wednesday & Thursday both say TBD but it'll probably be some combo of Mike Leake and Lance Lynn

Pissing rain!

No pissing rain at Shea/Citi...

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 11:45 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Tonight's trivia question: Keith is one of five players with 25 or more homers with both the Cardinals and the Mets. Who are the other four? Um ... Bernard Gilkey, Carlos Beltran, Joe Torre, and ... Ken Boyer?

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 11:46 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Torre and Boyer are both wrong, wrong, wrong.

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 11:46 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Zeile's one!

themetfairy Jul 17 2017 11:53 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Shamsky?

Edgy MD Jul 17 2017 11:57 PM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Why were we playing Tommy Pham with the shift like he's Dave F. Kingman?

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 12:03 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Céspedes just doesn't seem to know what he wants to swing at.

Mets are hitting the ball hard all night, until they get a guy in scoring position. A very strandy night team tonight.

Hey, it's Mazzilli All-Star Homer Day!

Lotsa chances for TJ so far tonight ... and he's gotten each and every throw all the way across the diamond!!

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 12:36 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Wild Wheelie just walked three in a row.

Nymr83 Jul 18 2017 12:37 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Three straight walks with 2 outs, the last one on 4 pitches, that's where I'm willing to pull a starter out of the game early.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 12:39 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Cards are strandy too!

And just like that we're behind.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 12:55 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Frickin' DeJong.

Frayed Knot Jul 18 2017 01:02 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Wheeler retired 15 of the first 18 he faced, and then 2 of the next (final) 9

Sheesh. Welcome back, Hansel.

Somebody get Reyes some oxygen!

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 01:21 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

There's your strategy. Keep hitting it to Fowler.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 18 2017 01:21 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Let's get Hansel and undeserved win here.

Shouldn't this be Grandy's at-bat?

And STILL no hits w/RiSP!! Speaking of which, the reason why the Sawx have sucked so bad vs the Yanx this year? Because they're [u:2hrfylo9]2-for-51[/u:2hrfylo9] w/RiSP on the season!!

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 18 2017 01:41 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Sewald, though. Sometimes, people put the lie to the "fact" that spring numbers lie. Hey! Ex-Met sighting.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 02:03 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

First-pitch ball to Duda, and then three strikeouts on nine pitches. Not the sort of highlight I was looking for.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 02:22 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

This game may be the Mets' all-time record-holder for Archie Bell references.

Frayed Knot Jul 18 2017 02:25 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Cecil came into the game with a one run lead on Sunday in Pitt: 1B, GO, RBI-2B, GO, IW, RBI-1B ... Ballgame! Of course that was against a team who gets, y'know, hits and stuff with runners on base.

Were I a Best Fan In Baseball, Matheny's presence in the dugout would not fill me with confidence.

Losses like this wouldn't happen if Yeonis Cespedes were still alive and playing.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jul 18 2017 10:22 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

Cespedes is killing this team. And not for nothing, another game lost when the 1-out assignment becomes a 1 walk assignment. I sorta knew.

Edgy MD Jul 18 2017 11:01 AM Re: IGT 7/17 Cards vs. Mets Wainwright vs. Wheeler

And what an refusal to acknowledge what Jay Bruce has given this team this year, that Céspedes hasn't, giving Yoenis the 3-0 green light.
