Matz vs Ryu (LHP). C'mon guys! Give my wife a birthday present. Later (This didn't violate any CPF tradition, did it?)

Did I miss where Bruce was hurt and/or traded?

Chad Ochoseis Aug 07 2017 12:08 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Stiff neck, according to Howie.

Chad Ochoseis Aug 07 2017 12:10 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Howie sounding really pissed about how long it's taking the game to start. Apparently some "network stooge" is holding up the game.

RealityChuck Aug 07 2017 12:20 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

It's an all-shortstop infield!

Fman99 Aug 07 2017 12:23 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Mats showing utter disregard for the baserunners and now BOOM. Wheels, off.

Ashie62 Aug 07 2017 12:34 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Thought it was a rain delay.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2017 01:10 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Can this game be any more of a nightmare? When the LAD hit it hard they get hits, when they hit it soft they get hits. When Matz gets ahead he manages to allow walks anyway, when NYM batters get ahead they manage to K anyway. And the only reason Matz lasted through 3 innings on his 70 pitches is that two of the nine outs he recorded came via baserunners, so instead of 15 pitches/inning that you'd like to see he's taking 10 pitches per out. He's the only guy who can go from a scoreless 1st inning and the network in a commercial to barely surviving the frame when the most predictable set of occurrences happened after the overturned SB call.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2017 01:15 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

And replay reopening a scoreless inning, and it turns into a three run inning.

Rockin' Doc Aug 07 2017 01:23 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

This team is depressing to watch. I'm watching just to get a look at Amed Rosario.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2017 01:52 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Did Matz have any swing-and-misses tonight? There were probably a few, but every strike he got in this game seemed to be either foul balls (a ton of those) or borderline strikes where the call went his way.

d'Kong76 Aug 07 2017 01:53 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

I didnt expect to be watching, now can't stop watching, even though I kinda feel like not watching. Makes sense, right?

Edgy MD Aug 07 2017 01:55 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Well, looks like Rosario has a backhand after all.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2017 01:58 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Howie "Neil Walker's still trying to get going... ." Yeah, get going or get going!

d'Kong76 Aug 07 2017 02:32 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Hearing the video-game-esque audio on slides into bases makes me sad.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2017 02:33 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

The Dodgers pull their guy while he's throwing a one-hit shutout, with no walks, and eight strikeouts. Stupid game.

d'Kong76 Aug 07 2017 02:37 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

That too!

The Dodgers can't get out of town fast enough.

Oh, Kenley Jansen.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2017 03:01 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Brandon Nimmo, player of the game.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2017 03:05 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

In the 17 innings since the three-HR inning which kicked off Saturday's game the Mets have four hits, three singles (only two out of the infield) and Rene Rivera's meaningless 9th inning HR

A runner on second!! #moralvictory

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2017 03:40 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Now we know how the '86 Pirates felt (1-17 vs NYM) but even they didn't get out-scored by as bad a ratio (slightly more than 2-1 instead of nearly 4-1).

Lefty Specialist Aug 07 2017 09:46 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Didn't watch, and now that seems like a good idea.

Fman99 Aug 07 2017 11:24 AM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

I turned it off when it went from 5-0 to 7-0.

Howie for President. He tells it like it is. Later

Benjamin Grimm Aug 07 2017 02:24 PM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

It doesn't sound like he'd be qualified then. It seems that being "presidential" means making up crazy shit.

Howie and Gary are both sure to get in some day.

Howie and Gary were, at last check, a significant portion of the committee, so they'd have to step out of the room...not that the committee seems to exactly exist anymore. The rest of the gang was comprised of Jay Horwitz, Marty Noble, Al Jackson (who had a stroke last year), Dave Howard (who left the organization in 2013) and Tina Mannix (senior marketing director who, based on a look through recent media guides, hasn't been with the organization since maybe 2011).

Benjamin Grimm wrote: Howie and Gary are both sure to get in some day. Sure, but as far as I'm concerned, that clip I posted above should have just moved his induction up about two years. MLB gets an insane amount of money to let ESPN unmake the schedule — money, that, a few accounts later, helps pay (among many other things) for Howie Rose's salary. Good on him for biting the hand, though. Josh Lewin doesn't have the juice to safely make that kind of statement.

"Network stooge" seems a little unfair. Just a guy doing his job. Lash out at the network, not the guy. The Mets should let us take over the HOF selection.

Chad Ochoseis Aug 07 2017 07:39 PM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Me, and I was quoting Howie Rose before the game began. It was early in the thread. And I do get the impression Howie was pissed at ESPN, not the guy, for delaying the start of the game.

G-Fafif Aug 07 2017 07:42 PM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Howie has semi-playfully used "network stooge" for years in this situation. I'm sure it's nothing personal, and I'm just as sure he'd maintain that stance to the network stooge's face.

I've seen that movie two dozen times. No.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2017 09:29 PM Re: 8/6 IGT L.A. vs Mets

Man, besides being the subject of one of the two greatest American-produced sports films ever, the Bad News Bears only lost the championship lost by a hair, and it was only because the Yankees exhibited lousy sportsmanship like the real turds they were that denied the Bears glory. But the Bears being the Bears, they knew more joy and vindication as runners-up than the Yankees ever knew as champs. Now that we know a little bit more about Atticus Finch, I think we can safely say that Tanner Boyle is the greatest fictional American hero of the 20th century. I wish the Mets were the Bad News Bears.
