IGT 4/27: Mets @ Padres, Dutch Boy vs. Richard

La Hollaaaaaa! Let's try and catch some balls, yes?

Gotta beat up on the bad teams, and the Padres are a bad team. LGM.

Considering that right now they have two functioning starters, Syndergaard and deGrom, it's really important that the Mets get ahead and win the games they pitch. Otherwise you have to rely on bullpen magic and late-inning heroics, which are nice when they happen, but are not a sustainable game plan.

Benjamin Grimm Apr 27 2018 01:46 PM Re: IGT 4/27: Mets @ Padres, Dutch Boy vs. Richard

Hopefully the Mets mash the Padres this weekend. Rattling off three wins would be really beneficial. And you have to make hay against the teams that carry the adjective of "lowly".

I really hope that Vargas gives us a boost in this department. I know it's far from a sure thing, but it's what I'm hoping for.

Ceetar Apr 27 2018 02:23 PM Re: IGT 4/27: Mets @ Padres, Dutch Boy vs. Richard

I have more faith in Matz or Wheeler or Gsellman figuring it out than Vargas, who isn't particularly good. Mets lineup is gonna have to pick it up a little bit if we're gonna start relying on a league average type guy like Vargas.

d'Kong76 Apr 27 2018 02:24 PM Re: IGT 4/27: Mets @ Padres, Dutch Boy vs. Richard

They're gonna need to pick it up regardless of who you don't like pitching.

I like Vargas enough, he's not just very good and has a long history that suggests he's not going to be very good. He could be okay though. and that's fine too, but at this juncture I'd still kinda rather take my chances with the guys with upside. well if Matz and Wheeler became as good as deGrom and Syndergaard, or even next tier, maybe they don't need to pick it up quite as much? They should though, because because Frazier and Cabrera can't carry everyone. Conforto's doing okay and Nimmo, Lagares and Flores are doing good in limited time, but the rest of those guys really need to step it up.

And only deGrom had a better ERA. I’ll watch him pitch a little and see how he does before I decide that he sucks.

Last year they were pitching bad because they were hurt. This year they're pitching bad because, um, they're just bad. They have no excuses (unless they're hurt and not telling anyone, which is a venerable Mets tradition). But wasting that fantastic start by Thor is just criminal. They have dead spots in their order from 6-9, and they just can't get by with it any more.

I look at the team's stats and I don't have a fucking clue as to how the Mets had the NL's best record for most of the season. It looks now like they're finally regressing to the pumpkins that most analysts predicted they'd be.

We, meaning the reasonable folks reading this. okay, but we're not talking generally, we're talking specifically. flat out sucked? maybe. is not good? not hard. Vargas is a specific example of that. The best pitchers tend to accumulate wins because they're typically on the mound more, regularly, and longer. They also get more vitamin D. It's like looking at beer sales volume and concluding that Citi Field is the most popular bar in NYC.

They can still send Rosario back to Vegas. Flores or Reyes can get more starts and someone like Ty Kelly or Phil Evans can come up and take a bench spot. I don't expect that will happen any time soon, if ever, but it's an option.

No rookie first basemen till they prove they're way too good for the minors. We shoulda learned that last year. Hopefully that's the case before we have to take Gonzo out of his misery Rosario, I don't mind. He's still real young, he's hitting No. 9, his D has been pretty good when he pays attention and he's going to get better. It's not like we have a better candidate inhouse anyway.

Vargas isn't getting to the third time through a lot. The Mets are hoping for a lot of 5-6 IP 2-3run games from him. You may be right. I guess I assumed that because Vargas had 29 decisions and 18 wins last year (in 32 starts) that he was going deep into games. But I just looked at his Game Log from 2017. He pitched 7 or more innings in only 7 of his 29 starts. In comparison, Jacob deGrom last year went 7 or more 14 times in 31 starts.

Lefty Specialist Apr 27 2018 07:08 PM Re: IGT 4/27: Mets @ Padres, Dutch Boy vs. Richard

They look pretty committed to Rosario. There really isn't anyone else. You're not going to throw Reyes out there every day and Cecchini isn't really a shortstop, sooo......they're going to ride him for a while. A-Gon just looks weak out there. The base hits he's getting are from teams defensing him like he's still 2012 A-Gon: lots of dunkers in front of outfielders. They need to say, 'oh well' and get serious about a Bruce/Flores platoon at first, which has the virtue of extra Zimmo. No faith in Smith at this point as he's not exactly tearing it up in Vegas right now. Alonso will pass him next year anyway.

I mean, you could put Cabrera there and play Flores at second I guess. or sign someone/trade someone. But Rosario has potential and you gotta roll with it a little. I don't mind Rosario, but he's not actually hitting, nor walking. Hopefully he will on both counts. It does seem like sometimes he has good AB but gets a little jumpier late in games in big spots. That's probably just anecdotal though. John Cougar Lunchbucket wrote: I can't remember Conforto's last xbh. Looks like it's been two weeks. On the other hand, he literally hasn't had a game where he hasn't been on base yet. his wRC+ is still above average. He could certainly help more, production wise, but at least he's getting on.

He had to do a public apology for that one, although anyone who demands he do the same over this 'incident' simply wasn't paying attention to the context. But hey, at least tonight it took Keith two whole innings to repeat what Gary had previously said (the part about Richards being a former U-Michigan backup QB). Sometimes he spouts some piece of information while being oblivious to the fact that Gary just said the exact same thing only seconds earlier.

I just looked up [u:33i77rkv]the career[/u:33i77rkv] SDP records where Santiago does have the record for catcher HRs - but that doesn't necessarily mean he has the single season mark. btw, the club record is only 163 by Nate Colbert who had a short but dangerous peak as a slugger.

I send Lagares on contact. He'd probably be out there, but he'd force a throw and tag (and look at Asuaje throwing under pressure). If he's out. Lóbaton displaces him on first. On the other hand, as LWFS notes above, Lagares should have tried to score on the bunt, too. Come on, Sherlock.

Harvey being Harvey If the Mets need to go to another pitcher to bail his ass out of a 5-0 game I would offer him AAA or his release

Like, model-pretty. He looks like an overgrown little leaguer with that hat and No. 3. I'd be shocked if he's not a Met someday as Fred and Jeff love their Wolverines Yabbut those eyes and those Reckery features and those EYES, though. I see a bucktoothed 11 year old. Hey, Go Lobatron Good to see Clint Howard getting work playing a ballplayer.

Yes! Walk a batter in a 4 run game! Dumbass

That ball-four breaking pitch was Rick-Ankiel-in-the-midst-of-his-breakdown bad. It ain't about being dumb. He's losing a part of himself here.

Let him go lose it in Port St Lucie or Vegas then

Even the strikes are missing the target by a foot.

I hoping for a lot of blowout Mets victories so Harvey can work it out (whatever "it" is) and be productive again in some role. Later

I tend to think Harvey getting through last night, despite being as awful as he was, may be one of the more important things that happened last night. Remains to be seen but maybe.
