Yes to Ces... CF Conforto LF Cespedes RF Bruce 2B Cabrera 3B Frazier 1B Gonzalez C Lobaton P Conlon SS Rosario Frazier to get a video salute on this, his first trip back to GABP since he left for the White Sox.

d'Kong76 May 07 2018 07:31 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

That was quick, G-F!

Edgy MD May 07 2018 07:33 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Céspedes back in the lineup!

Nymr83 May 07 2018 08:13 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Did Nimmo bang Callaway's wife or something?

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2018 08:15 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

The Reds are 8 and 26 (same as the Orioles) with an MLB-worst .235 winning percentage, putting them on a pace to go 38 and 124 on the season. If the Mets don't get right over these three games, it will be especially pathetic.

Edgy MD May 07 2018 08:17 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

And they've been carrying Homer Bailey and his unfathomably huge contract for about four seasons now. Get straight, Mets.

Centerfield May 07 2018 09:08 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Cespedes's leg has been hurting him. He said he felt pain Saturday and had to be removed from the game Sunday. It's the same quad injury that has plagued him in the past. The one where he came back too early causing him to suffer a much more serious injury. The Mets have struggled to find at-bats from Brandon Nimmo, their best offensive player not named Cabrera. So naturally, Ces is back in the lineup tonight.

Benjamin Grimm May 07 2018 10:45 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

I know! Hopefully they'll revisit this decision just like they did with deGrom.

41Forever May 07 2018 11:42 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Conforto BOOM! The Cincinnati Slumpbusters might be exactly what this team needs!

Aye, boyo, pretty hatchet so far.

Edgy MD May 07 2018 11:54 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Let's trade Harvey for Teddy the Batboy.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 12:12 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Mom sounds mostly American. Dad sounds VERY Belfast.

Nymr83 May 08 2018 12:19 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

would have liked to see more than a run there with 2nd and 3rd no out for top of the order

Edgy MD May 08 2018 12:25 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Maybe pull Céspedes early tonight.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 12:27 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Conlon has an auntie waving a picture of St. Padre Pio.

Ach.

Nymr83 May 08 2018 12:43 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Gonzalez is like a pro at avoiding the DFA - nice night!

41Forever May 08 2018 12:48 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

An early hook for Conlon, or was he starting to get battered?

Edgy MD May 08 2018 12:51 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

He was getting hit. Homer Bailey, man. He's good for what ails ye'. Just a reminder of his contract: 2014: $9 million 2015: $10 million 2016: $18 million 2017: $19 million 2018: $21 million 2019: $23 million 2020: $25 million mutual option ($5M buyout)

Edgy MD May 08 2018 12:55 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Only Reds manager to win Manager of the Year. I'll guess Davy Johnson.

Benjamin Grimm May 08 2018 01:00 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Sparky Anderson?

d'Kong76 May 08 2018 01:04 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

That would be my first and only guess. Might be a trick question.

Frayed Knot May 08 2018 01:08 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

The problem with Homer Bailey who, along with Phillip Hughes of the Yanx, were 1A & 1B top pitching prospects in all of baseball one year, was that he tore his UCL right after signing that big deal. He may even have torn it in the act of signing the contract although my facts might be a little off there. My mother took to watching some occasional golf on TV in the final years of her life and became a bit of a Rory McIlroy fan on account of his Belfast-area accent. One set of her grandparents emigrated from Belfast as adults (1905) and so kept their accents their entire lives and it was the one British Isles accent she could pinpoint even a half century after both were gone.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 01:10 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

I checked the Manager-of-the-Year thing and ... we're all wrong. I don't recall this guy managing the Reds. Get Sewald out of there. His pitches have no action.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 01:19 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Gonzo wants a third.

d'Kong76 May 08 2018 01:22 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

7-5, Mets... let's stretch! [youtube:364wkp49]Qa98AhEVAZQ[/youtube:364wkp49]

Fman99 May 08 2018 01:29 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

They should be winning by way more than 2 runs. The Reds SUUUUUUCK.

Rockin' Doc May 08 2018 01:34 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Rosario really needs to learn the strike zone and be more disciplined at the plate. It seems that half the pitches he swings at aren't in the strike zone.

d'Kong76 May 08 2018 01:35 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Six outs to get with a two-run lead. We got this, right? Right?

Fman99 May 08 2018 01:39 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Christ almighty, 7-6 now. We also suck, there's the problem.

Rockin' Doc May 08 2018 01:39 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

One would hope so. There is the first out. Quickly followed by a home run. Down to a 1 run lead now.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 08 2018 01:41 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Insurance would be nice. Some launch-angle magic in the ninth, please?

Rockin' Doc May 08 2018 01:42 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

The Mets need to get some insurance runs. The way things have been going for the Mets of late, I don't feel too comfortable turning a 1 run lead over to Familia right now.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 01:44 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Good for you, Cés. Let's pinch-run. Wait, Reyes? This should be Lagares.

Fman99 May 08 2018 01:46 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Good start runners on the corners no outs. How bout one damn run?

Rockin' Doc May 08 2018 01:46 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Sherlock playing it safe. Putting on Asdrubel to drive in the insurance run.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 01:47 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Surprising stop sign from Sherlock. [fimg=400:2qftmqfu]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/fa/74/e1/fa74e12c2591be54ac1b9857c4c7d103.jpg[/fimg:2qftmqfu]

Edgy MD May 08 2018 01:48 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Well, there goes that insurance plan.

Fman99 May 08 2018 01:49 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Unfucking real.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 08 2018 01:49 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Cabrera swung at ball four at least twice. And theeeeere goes the insurance. C'mon, Sherlock.

Rockin' Doc May 08 2018 01:49 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

The Reds get out of the inning unscathed with an assist from Mets conservative base running (coaching).

That's one! Nasty pitch there.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 01:54 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

The funny thing is that, if they left Céspedes in, he might have run through that stop sign.

Rockin' Doc May 08 2018 01:55 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

One more out to go!

Fman99 May 08 2018 01:55 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Can't recall the last time I saw Familia throw a fastball with any ability to put it where the target is. He's got so much movement on the ball he can still conjure up the swings & misses, but the heater is always shaky to me.

Edgy MD May 08 2018 01:58 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Word.

Whew! I thought YS III was a bandbox. But the balls fly out of this place like its a little league field. With Vargas pitching tomorrow, I hope our guys have something left in the tank. Later

Frayed Knot May 08 2018 02:06 AM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

- Reyes had to freeze momentarily on the liner to RF. He scores easily otherwise and probably would have anyway, but with no outs and the middle of the order coming up ... - but Cabrera and Frazier combined to kill a whole bunch of rallies tonight. - I guess the idea of running Reyes in the first place rather than Nimmo/Lagares was that, if you were going to PH later in that inning, at this point Reyes would be your last choice from among those three. - Good on the scorer for awarding the win to Gsellman [2.2 IP, 1 R, 1 H] rather than Sewald [1.2 IP, 2 R, 3 H]. Lots of times the scorer lazily goes to the next pitcher in those situations when the starter fails to go the required five - a rare high-scoring yet sub-3 hour game (2:47) but then most of the runs on both sides were scored very quickly.

Benjamin Grimm May 08 2018 01:49 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Methead May 08 2018 02:27 PM Re: IGT 05/07 - NYM @ CIN - On the Road Again, or Somewhere.

Well, it's obviously a lot more fun to vote on the games when we're winning them.
