IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Edgy MD May 13 2018 03:00 AM

Nothing is guaranteed, but we're going up against those dang Phils with Jacob deGrom. And Jacob deGrom is 3-0 with a 1.87 ERA. Moreover, for his career, he's 19-8 / 1.97 with 283 strikeouts in 260 innings during the day. That's the equivalent of a Cy Young-winning season, from Orel Hershiser or Greg Maddux or somebody. Over a career. Nothing is guaranteed, and yeah, this ballpark cheats, but I like that we got him going. I do!

Baumann is returned to AAA even though he would be more likely to be used today than Vargas. Since Vargas is being "skipped" in the rotation (skipping is fun so it's such a nice way of saying "ignored due to a failure to perform at a major league level") and there are two days off this week, can't they find some reason to put him on the 10-day DL?

Almost forgot Jake had to be activated. And he was, at the expense of not yet an official Met Buddy Baumann. Ah revoir, No. 77. We'll hardly know ye until Mrs. Blevins is reporting contractions.

Really not a bad idea. Let him hang around and throw simulated games under the watchful eye of the brain trust -- or the watchful brain of the eye trust.

Is Baumann a "Phantom" Met? Did he ever get put on the 25? Or did his suspension prevent that?

Conforto in center and Nimmo in right? I'm not about that.

2:30 first pitch.

Edgy MD May 13 2018 06:33 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Hey, we're getting under way! Gary Cohen reminding me that this is the same as last night's lineup except for switching Nimmo and Conforto.

Edgy MD May 13 2018 06:35 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

THANK YOU BRANDON NIMMO!!

Edgy MD May 13 2018 06:46 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Al the lefty batters reach to load the bases, but both our righty batters can't touch this guy. Let's hope Conforto remembers he's a lefty.

Edgy MD May 13 2018 06:55 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

deG. be laboring.

Edgy MD May 13 2018 07:08 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Jake may be struggling, but I'm glad he's on defense.

Edgy MD May 13 2018 07:14 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Wow! Jacob deGrom on a pace to throw a 405-pitch shutout!

TheOldMole May 13 2018 07:25 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

DeGrom hurt? Why’s he out?

Edgy MD May 13 2018 07:27 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

He threw 44 pitches in the first. They're being prudent. Even if I was committed to pulling deGrom, I'm not sure I'd burn a bench player there. deGrom can give you a good at-bat. On the other hand, maybe they don't want him swinging the bat anyhow.

TheOldMole May 13 2018 07:29 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

I was thinking they should let him go three or four, and then put Thor in.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 13 2018 08:11 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Mesoraco with the frisky little athletic 2-6-4 DP. Between this and the Friday night HR, he's already arguably been this season's most valuable wearer of the tools d'ignorance.

smg58 May 13 2018 08:12 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

So we pushed Thor back three days to give DeGrom one inning?

Edgy MD May 13 2018 08:28 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

No, they pushed him back because he got loose yesterday and they decided to treat it as an outing. Meanwhilst, Mets take the lead on a kapowie by Céspedes.

Frayed Knot May 13 2018 08:32 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same Edited 1 time(s), most recently on May 13 2018 08:51 PM

So just as Cespedes was teeing off, I was in the midst of composing a post pointing out that the Mets offense had scored in just 3 of the previous 37 innings, a streak which began right after they had scored in opening five frames of the first game in Cincy. But after putting up a goose egg in the final four innings of that one, they've scored in just one inning in each of the next three, now four, games: - a 2-spot in the 6th inning of our 7-2 loss in Cincy - a single run in the 3rd of the Wednesday afternoon 2-1 10th inning loss - and then the 3 runs via the Conforto and Mesaroco HRs in the 9th of Friday's game. - and now, so far anyway, once in six frames here so now it's 4 non-zeros half-innings out of 38

Edgy MD May 13 2018 08:45 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Céspedes is getting a lot out of some rusty trucks today.

Edgy MD May 13 2018 08:51 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Well, that hurts. Not even a strike.

bmfc1 May 13 2018 08:56 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Mickey had Blevins in the bullpen and a lefty at the plate. As Ronnie said, if Blevins isn't going to pitch against the lefty, then when?

Frayed Knot May 13 2018 08:56 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

I was OK sticking with Seawald there. Results sukked, but I'm not going to second guess the (non) move.

bmfc1 May 13 2018 09:00 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

The Mets "future stars" come up back to back: strikeout and groundout. The Mets really know how to develop hitters! One will be back in the minors very soon and the other should be in the minors.

Edgy MD May 13 2018 09:04 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Up in the minors? Two balls surprisingly held by the park today as Caberera knocks in Neeeemo.

Frayed Knot May 13 2018 09:34 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

So now we have a pitching change which didn't work to go along with the non move that didn't work. Tack that on to the 3 DPs plus the caught-stealing erasing four of our many baserunners and this one isn't looking like it's going to end well.

Zero input from SS again. The "Future Star" is worthless right now and should be in the minors. Another overhyped Mets prospect. Prove me wrong, Amed. Please. G. Torres and Acuna: stars from day one. The most Dom Smith has accomplished is losing 7 pounds and learning about punctuality.

Centerfield May 13 2018 11:06 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Only 2 teams in MLB have scored fewer runs than the Mets this year. There are several teams that are actively tanking, seven teams are on pace to lose 100 games. Five of those teams are scoring more runs than the Mets. This is what happens when you fail to upgrade a bad offense during the winter. JD Martinez is the guy we needed. Instead, he went to Boston after sitting available all winter. He’s crushing it, of course. .337 AVG, 9 HR. .988 OPS. The Red Sox are in first place and playing .700 baseball.

batmagadanleadoff May 13 2018 11:20 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

The Mets are probably saving up for Bryce Harper after this season. Harper's the kind of player a NYC team gets, right?

Centerfield May 13 2018 11:21 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

Without a doubt. Kershaw too. 2019 is going to kick ass.

batmagadanleadoff May 13 2018 11:24 PM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

There's no way they'll try another desperation Hail Mary like taking a flyer on someone like Michael Cuddyer, a 35 year old coming off major back surgery and a missed season because that's a small market move that almost never pans out and we're the Mets of New York fucking City!

If you look at the 51's roster, there's no shortstop listed. Cecchini is more of a 2B (and he's hurt anyway}. And you can't run Reyes out there. He needs to be released instead.

Edgy MD May 14 2018 12:00 AM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

If there's such thing as a "true shortstop," then there's one right at the next locker named Guillorme.

Centerfield May 14 2018 12:18 AM Re: IGT 5/13/18 Sunday Will Never be the Same

I’d be all in favor of giving Guillorme a shot.

Flores, I love him, but he's no third baseman. A-Gon saves him a lot of errors that Bruce wouldn't.
