IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

G-Fafif Apr 15 2018 02:20 PM

I'm no Fman (who among us is?), but I've got the lineup: Nimmo RF Conforto CF Cespedes LF Frazier 3B Flores 1B Rosario SS Reyes 2B Nido C Syndergaard P They're all wearing 42 and mufflers.

d'Kong76 Apr 15 2018 02:36 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

Brewers RH Jhoulys Chacín (0-1, 6.59 ERA) vs. Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (2-0, 3.94)

Benjamin Grimm Apr 15 2018 02:45 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

I wonder if Gary Cohen knows how to pronounce "Jhoulys".

d'Kong76 Apr 15 2018 03:57 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

I hope someone does because I certainly don't.

I believe you're up to the task, G. A new streak starts today, if you believe it does.

Love the sentiment behind Jackie Robinson Day. Not sure I feel the same about the 42 tradition. Seems a bit unnecessary and silly and detracts from the overall, serious message. I feel like announcers and fans get caught up making dumb “it’s 42 again, he’s everywhere” jokes.

Frayed Knot Apr 15 2018 04:41 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

Cloudy / Windy (20 mph) / 41 But the rain is expected to hold off until 4, so they have incentive to get the thing started on time and over with as quickly as possible. Games already canceled today in Cleveland vs TOR, Minneapolis vs CWS, Chicago vs Braves. And also in Detroit where the afternoon half of a scheduled split DH is a makeup of yesterday's washout vs the Yanx and is itself now a washout. The second half of the DH appears to be in limbo for now.

G-Fafif Apr 15 2018 05:05 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

The players are all wearing 42, but the thermometer can't get above 41.

bmfc1 Apr 15 2018 05:07 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

For some of us, note that the game is now part of MLBN's regional coverage this afternoon.

Ashie62 Apr 15 2018 06:11 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

Cespedes has to be wearing 10 pounds of armor and winter wear

Odd time to burn a pinch-hitter and a catcher, Mick.

Thor looks locked in in the mound and hitting too!

Chad Ochoseis Apr 15 2018 07:07 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

Odd time to burn a pinch-hitter and a catcher, Mick. Yeah, Gary's saying the same thing. Not sure if the logic was that Syndergaard is a better hitter than Nido (a distinct possibility), or what. Even so, there's a good chance Nido would have drawn the walk. Either way, why do all that burning in a game that very well can go into extras? I dunno. I want to think that Mickey is playing six-dimensional chess. Maybe he was trying to get an insurance run thinking that the game may be rain-shortened.

Edgy MD Apr 15 2018 07:09 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

And Syndergaard ends up getting one more out and departing.

Edgy MD Apr 15 2018 07:15 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

Be interesting to hear what Mickey has to say about his 5th/6th inning moves. I would have left Nido in to hit for a whole variety of reasons most of which already mentioned above and/or by Gary & Ron.

Edgy MD Apr 15 2018 07:31 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

It's weird, with the universal 42, no names on the back, and most of the players in cowls, trying to guess which player I'm looking at by his build.

Maybe they should make a rule where, on Jackie Robinson Day, one player from each team is required to attempt a steal of home.

Frayed Knot Apr 15 2018 08:44 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

I thought Wilmer's ball was a double off the bat. No way did I think he hit it well enough to get out, particularly in this weather, but that boy do hit the ball hard at times.

With his walkoff homer Sunday, Wilmer has joined an exclusive club and attained a singular distinction. Twelve Mets have ended games with home runs three or more times; only two have made a weekend of it; only Wilmer has done it in Loverboy style. Details here.

That really is a big deal, though, seeing the team's top reliever in a tie game at home, isn't it?

Benjamin Grimm Apr 16 2018 06:16 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now

That's more of a road team thing. As the home team, the Mets would never have found themselves in a save situation once we entered the ninth inning with a tie score.

Edgy MD Apr 16 2018 06:19 PM Re: IGT 4/15/2018: MIL@NYM -- New Streak Commences Now
