... trying to kill our out of the pennant race blues The final left coast trip of the year, so our games for the next week and a half have starting times of: 10:10, 10:10, 10:10, 9:10, 10:10, 4:10, 4:10, Off-Day, 8:40, 8:40, 3:10. Enjoy! This is of course also a trip that will straddle the trade deadline, one which we all expect is going to bring around at least some moves. And just think about how conveniently close the replacements from Las Vegas will be!! SD: 43 - 55. DFL in the NL in RS, 3rd worse (just ahead of us) at preventing runs but are in the midst of a winning July (10-8) and are coming off taking 3 of 4 from the Giants We kick it off on Monday with deGrom vs Clayton Richard Richard is 34 y/o ex-Cub, ex-ChiSox who is on his second go-around with the SD Fathers TL/BL; 20 starts; 10-10; 5.35 ERA; 1.60 WHiP. We did not face him at CitiField back in May. We lost 2 of 3 in that series.

NY Mets at San Diego When: 10:10 PM ET, Monday, July 24, 2017 Where: Petco Park, San Diego, California By Gracenote The New York Mets will attempt to keep their focus on the field this week while ignoring the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, which could affect several of their key veterans. New York opens a 10-game road trip Monday against the rebuilding San Diego Padres, who took three of four from San Francisco over the weekend. Players such as Jay Bruce, Lucas Duda, Curtis Granderson and Addison Reed could be on the move from the Mets, who saw their four-game winning streak come to an end with Sunday’s 3-2 loss to Oakland. New York has fallen 10 games back in the National League wild-card race but has a few untouchables - including Michael Conforto, who belted his 19th homer on Sunday. The Padres have several players on the trade block, including setup man Brad Hand, but Wil Myers isn’t expected to go anywhere soon. Myers has homered in three straight games and figures prominently in the long-term plans of the Padres, who won two of three against the Mets in May. TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), FSN San Diego PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (11-3, 3.37 ERA) vs. Padres LH Clayton Richard (5-10, 5.35) DeGrom has won a career-high seven consecutive starts, posting a 1.51 ERA and a 50-to-10 strikeout-to-walk ratio over that stretch. The 29-year-old Floridian settled in after a shaky first inning on Wednesday and held St. Louis to one run and seven hits while throwing 110 pitches over 6 2/3 frames. DeGrom is 1-1 with a 1.80 ERA over 20 innings in three career starts against the Padres. Richard is looking to bounce back after surrendering a career-high 11 runs - 10 earned - on 14 hits over 3 2/3 innings in an 18-4 loss at Colorado on Wednesday. “I have to take responsibility,” Richard told reporters. “Unfortunately, it just seemed like mishit balls found the right spots. It was a Coors Field day.” Jose Reyes is 3-for-14 against Richard, who is 2-3 with a 4.17 ERA in seven career starts versus the Mets. WALK-OFFS: 1. San Diego 3B Cory Spangenberg is 13-for-32 during his eight-game hitting streak. 2. Reyes is one stolen base away from becoming the 39th player in major-league history to record 500 in his career. 3. The Padres activated Manuel Margot from paternity leave and optioned fellow OF Franchy Cordero to Triple-A El Paso.

Late night games hurt me. Luckily I will be on vacation the latter half of the week and, if I can pull down an XM signal over my phone while camping in the 'Dacks, able to catch a few innings here and there.

de Grom has an outside shot at 20 wins -- but a lot of things have to break right. Dealing Addison Reed would not help in his effort.

I kinda know Spangenberg and Renfroe, and guess I've heard of Margot and Coleman. Pirela rings a faint bell. Maybe? Is Torrens that guy who went nuts in that Colorado hotel and chased his kid around with an axe?

Frayed Knot Jul 24 2017 11:41 PM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

And if you can't tell their hitters without a scorecard, knowing their pitchers just got more complicated as well as the Padres and Royals just swapped multiple hurlers: Padres get: (currently DL'd RHR) Matt Strahm, (LHR) Travis Wood, and Minor League IF prospect Esteury Ruiz in exchange for [u:1jipfl9d]Ryan Buchter[/u:1jipfl9d], [u:1jipfl9d]Trevor Cahill[/u:1jipfl9d] and [u:1jipfl9d]Brandon Maurer[/u:1jipfl9d] Cahill had been slated to start against us in Wednesday's game. Maurer had been their most recent closer, Buchter a lefty set-up man.

What's with the new file name and how many times it's been viewed thing?

I think that's because I uploaded those pictures from my hard drive.

WHAT'S WITH THE PITCHER WEARING #3??!!

What a first inning. Goodenesque. 85 Goodenesque.

Getting ready to dvr, deGrom strikes out the side... maybe I'll watch a little more...

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 02:28 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Those few weeks when Wilmer sat and Duda-Cabrera-Reyes-TJ played every day? Stupid.

This is the awesomest possible phrase: Flores, Cabrera, and Boo Three fourths of the infield, the next coupla days Flores, Cabrera, and Boo Dudes that are more or less out of position All in the care of a New York physician Driving a Pads rally into remission Flores, Cabrera, and Boo

Fman99 Jul 25 2017 02:51 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Best case scenario for a West coast 10 PM start, early runs. I can go to sleep happy.

41Forever Jul 25 2017 02:57 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Cespedes pitching? Yikes.

themetfairy Jul 25 2017 02:59 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

I'm going to be a curmudgeon. I love Yo, but I don't want to see him risking any further injuries by screwing around throwing bullpen sessions.

Frayed Knot Jul 25 2017 03:06 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

NYM bats woke tonight to the sound of thunder (see what I did there?)

Frayed Knot Jul 25 2017 03:27 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

If your name is going to be Dusty Coleman, shouldn't you spell it Dusty Coalman?

Frayed Knot Jul 25 2017 03:58 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

This game seems like it should be more lopsided than just a 4-run lead for the Mets ... and now here it is down to a 3 run lead with [crossout:14troqmp]7[/crossout:14troqmp] 6 outs still to get.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 04:03 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Yeah, and Richard should have been chased.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2017 04:22 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

See, I think this is just, like, a regular Richard start. He's kind of unchasable. Frayed Knot wrote: If your name is going to be Dusty Coleman, shouldn't you spell it Dusty Coalman? Maybe he thought to, but cooler heads prevailed. [High-fives self]

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 04:24 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Commence the tacking on.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2017 04:25 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

It occurs to me-- maybe belatedly-- that Nelson Figueroa should have always had a beard to adorn/underscore that non-chin of his.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2017 04:30 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Retired an All-Star, struck out Cespedes, didn't allow a hit? Not a bad debut for the straight-from-single-A rook.

Frayed Knot Jul 25 2017 04:35 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

C'mon Addison, don't blow a) this game or b) your trade value

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 04:36 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

And hopefully he didn't give his team a lift, because this is 2 close 4 comfort.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 04:39 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Gah, Lagares could have caught that with his shoes.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2017 04:40 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Apparently, Addy really doesn't want to leave this team.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2017 04:42 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Mandalorian bounty hunter Jabari Blash is now the potential winning run.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 04:43 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

AAAAAHHHH!!! I thought that was fair!

Frayed Knot Jul 25 2017 04:45 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

The other upshot of this ragged inning is that it blew any chance of being a sub-2:30 game Those are rare enough these days but are extra welcoming in west coast affairs.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jul 25 2017 04:45 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP Edited 1 time(s), most recently on Jul 25 2017 04:46 AM

Reed has the mug AND summer haircut of an undersized 12-year-old little leaguer. Two outs. Let's hope he's got more sangfroid.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 04:46 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

We need a guy named SZCZUR. Right now, though, we need to bury him, not praise him.

Edgy MD Jul 25 2017 04:46 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP

Poopy-pants save.

Frayed Knot Jul 25 2017 04:47 AM Re: Workin' on our night moves -- IGT 7/24/17 @ SDP
