ATL: Teheran (1-1, 4.50) NYM: Vargas (0-1, 22.09)

Benjamin Grimm May 03 2018 02:17 AM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Hopefully Vargas reduces his ERA a little bit.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 02:38 AM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I was gonna that, but I figured it 'd itself.

I'm not happy about how things are going in this series.

Good lord.

Benjamin Grimm May 03 2018 05:23 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

He's actually raising his ERA so far, isn't he?

Edgy MD May 03 2018 05:24 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Yup. Looking like the nadir of two-time Mets.

G-Fafif May 03 2018 05:25 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Perhaps Vargas needs to miss his next several starts.

41Forever May 03 2018 05:27 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Vargas’ elbow looks hyperextended. Get him out of there. Dickey is still available, right? Can he be signed, in uniform and on the mound by the fifth inning?

Centerfield May 03 2018 05:32 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

This has the feel of one of those "you've been put on notice" series. This team looks like crap.

Centerfield May 03 2018 05:36 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

By 7:15 Tuesday night, Atlanta had scored 3 runs off Syndergaard. As of 1:35 p.m. on Thursday, the Mets have yet to match that total.

Lefty Specialist May 03 2018 05:37 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Reyes reminds us why he's not a third baseman. But Vargas escapes without any further casualties.

Lefty Specialist May 03 2018 05:47 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Conforto needs to sit. Nimmo needs to play. Vargas needs to be waterboarded in an undisclosed location.

cooby May 03 2018 05:57 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Lol. Following on ESPN game cast. Was Vargas bunting for a hit?

seawolf17 May 03 2018 06:08 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Okay, I'm officially hopping onto the "worries" thread. That winning streak was smoke and mirrors.

See, Vargas is making progress. That homer didn't go nearly as far as the rookie's did.

Okay, enough. And to make matters worse, Harvey is warming up in the bullpen.

bmfc1 May 03 2018 06:21 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Our future stars: Rosario: not great to start--no bat, not as good in the field as expected, hopefully it's only just a slow start. Dom Smith: late one day in ST and he's damned to hell, mocked all winter by the GM, never had a chance to make the team and maybe passed by Peter Alonso. Braves future stars: Acuna: holy crap!

cooby May 03 2018 06:22 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Good. Love to see how he handles this Re: Harvey

41Forever May 03 2018 06:23 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I can imagine that mound conversation. Vargas: Get me out of here! Eiland: No. We're already lost this one, and it's only the fifth inning. We need you to eat more innings so we can save the bully for a game we have a shot at winning. Reyes: I don't know, man. Wilmer: I'm worried about the people sitting in the outfield seats. They're going to get hurt. We need to give them gloves or something. Reyes: Maybe one of them can pitch?

G-Fafif May 03 2018 06:24 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I liked the covering of the mouths while meeting, as if the Braves might discover how exactly he's not getting them out.

Fman99 May 03 2018 06:26 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Well at least I know to not watch the replay. I didn't realize it was get away day, as in, get me away from these turkeys.

Lefty Specialist May 03 2018 06:26 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Vargas pulled after 4 2/3, eliminating his chance to pick up the win.

Centerfield May 03 2018 06:27 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I think there are a lot of positives to be drawn from the three scoreless innings in the middle of Vargas's outing.

cooby May 03 2018 06:28 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Harvey: fire putter outer

Methead May 03 2018 06:28 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I'm really just watching to see how much longer this no-hitter is gonna go.

A Boy Named Seo May 03 2018 06:31 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Conforto suxxxx. Glad Zimmo is rotting away on the pine.

41Forever May 03 2018 06:31 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

They should extend the netting all the way around the outfield when Vargas pitches.

A Boy Named Seo May 03 2018 06:33 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Gonzalez with another hard-hit ball to deep right field. That seems to be as far as he can hit them anymore.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 06:36 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I haven't been watching... oh, a no-no through six... guess I'll be FF'n a lot on the DVR later when the Mets are up.

Not for us! (I don't know)

Edgy MD May 03 2018 06:39 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

FFS, guys. You're hitting like suckers.

Edgy MD May 03 2018 06:40 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

And yes, after six runs in 4 2/3 innings, Vargas' ERA did go down.

Benjamin Grimm May 03 2018 06:41 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

No, not a perfect game. There was a walk to Cespedes.

Centerfield May 03 2018 06:45 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

So we get insanely hot, then suck ass. It's like we miss Duda so much we decided to turn into him.

Harvey can't get Major League hitters out anymore. Maybe he can learn this, but his OJT is going crappily.

A Boy Named Seo May 03 2018 06:56 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Jesus Christmas, Harvey.

41Forever May 03 2018 06:57 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I don't think Harvey's bullpen experience is going very well.

41Forever May 03 2018 06:58 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Which position player would be in a position to pitch? Nimmo?

cooby May 03 2018 06:58 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

I was really hoping Harvey would find his groove today; at least it would have been one bright spot. I thought for a while there it might happen.

d'Kong76 May 03 2018 06:59 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

He needs to go to AA (I'm afraid of what he might do in Las Vegas and I'm not talking about the altitude) and try to get his act together.

The broom refuses to be avoided, apparently.

Centerfield May 03 2018 07:05 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

So, I guess when I woke up there were four scenarios. Mets win. deGrom ok. Mets lose. deGrom ok. Mets win. deGrom badly hurt. Mets lose. deGrom badly hurt. This is the second best thing that could have happened today.

G-Fafif May 03 2018 07:06 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

One-half a shiny Schaefer point to whoever produces a base hit.

Lefty Specialist May 03 2018 07:08 PM Re: IGT 05/03 - Braves at Mets - Avoiding the Broom

Yes, but this team seems to suffering from hyperextended suckage.

Someone should check with Todd Frazier about today's umps because that must be the reason for the score.

It wasn't all that long ago that I was actually excited about the prospects for the Mets to be legitimate contenders this season. My optimism has been killed as the Mets have been exposed as a deeply flawed team. Only one regular (Cabrera) is hitting better than .240 on the season. The only other position players hitting (Nimmo and Lagares) can't seem to get in the line up more than once a week. The rotation is DeGrom, Syndergaard, and a collection of ineffective and/or inconsistent pitchers that can't be relied upon to just go 5 innings without giving up more runs than our anemic offense can possibly score.
