Do or die for Vargas tonight. I don't mean die literally, but if he doesn't provide a chance to be competitive in the game tonight he's got to be shopping for custodial supplies. I also think it's really important for the good guys to make hay in this series.

I'm surprised that Wednesday's game is at night. The Mets are in MIL on Thursday night which isn't across the country but it's not next door.

I think the new rules say that a day get-away game is required if traveling two time zones but not when it's just one (and Miami has Thursday off) so that means it's up to the home team and Fred & Jeff do like their night games on $NY.

Is Vargas hitting eighth so that they can pinch hit for him and get him out of the game a little earlier?

The only two players on the Marlins' roster with ABs against Vargas: Cameron Maybin (4 singles in 6 AB) Starlin Castro (3 hits in 8 AB, plus two walks), including 2-4 with two doubles last season

When all three 1st inning Marlins batters put the ball in play, they all did so off balance -- so that's a good sign that Vargas is putting the right pitches in the right place. And, if nothing else, that quite a change after seeing so many batters just dig in and tee off on his stuff over his first couple (brief) outings.

Frayed Knot May 21 2018 11:46 PM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

And now we're at 5 off-balance swings plus 4 punch-outs (three looking IIRC) thru three perfect innings. It's like a completely different human out there who just happens to look like the previous one.

Rosario breaks for second and Cbrera rips it down the line for a double. Rosarion scores from 1st aided by Marlins RF missing the cut of.

Fifth strikeout. Vargas' ERA down to 10.26.

Edgy MD May 22 2018 12:26 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

With that strikeout, Vargas' ERA down to 10.06. If he can get the last out here, he'll be out of the two-digits-to-the-left-of-the-decimal range.

Vargas pulled from the game with the single-digit-ish ERA and Evans gets his first knock of the season hitting for him. I don't know what Rosario's walkup music is, but it sounds like an autotuned dancefloor remake of The Marshall Tucker Band's "Heard It in a Love Song."

Evans with a nice single through the hole on the left side.

Sewald gets his ERA down to the respectable territory of 3.96.

I didn't hear Guillorme's. I like how fast Mesoraco fires the ball back to his pitcher. With him catching a fast worker like Sewald, things zip along.

Awesome 1-6-3 DP to end the inning. I was afraid the runner at second was going to beat the throw.

It's an unofficial nickname the baseball team gave themselves. The official nickname is the 49ers. Yeah, terrific double play, coming within a hair of getting nothing on both ends.

Fman99 May 22 2018 01:26 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

That's a double because he hustled the whole way. I like what I've seen so far from Mess O' Rocco.

Rockin' Doc May 22 2018 01:27 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Good hustle by Mesoraco to turn that soft flair down the RF line into a double.

Guillorme slaps one that goes through the wicket of Prada at third. Runners at the corners for Wilmer.

Edgy MD May 22 2018 01:30 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Prado took his eye off the ball, thinking about Mesoraco.

Edgy MD May 22 2018 01:31 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Great job, Florrie. If he was hitting at all, Reyes would be up there. Lefty-righty matchup, contact hitter, speed to stay out of double plays. But he's not hitting at all. Good call, Mick.

Rockin' Doc May 22 2018 01:31 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Flores comes through with a base hit. Drives in Mesoraco for a 2-0 lead.

Edgy MD May 22 2018 01:35 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Edgy MD May 22 2018 01:43 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Laggy, needless to say, would have time to catch that ball with the breaks on.

Nimmo flashing leather in LF!

Edgy MD May 22 2018 01:43 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

On that drive to Nimmo, on the other hand, I'm not sure Céspedes even gets there in time to cut it off.

Pencil it in the books for now. And, all of a sudden, the Mets look like a team that can catch and throw.

bmfc1 May 22 2018 02:06 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

If you're the Marlins there, why do you even wait to check with your video guys before challenging. What, are you saving a challenge for later on in the hotel bar?

Rockin' Doc May 22 2018 02:08 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Nice play and a great throw from deep in the hole (on the outfield grass) to get the speedy Brinson for the final out. Luckily, Brinson decided to dive hed first into 1st. He woould liely have beat it out had he run threw the bag. Nice win.

Frayed Knot May 22 2018 02:10 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Nats (who were a half game behind us to start the day) won vs SDP Phils shut out the Braves, so the whole division (minus Miami) gets a wee bit more snug. Braves up 0.5 on Philly, 2.5 on NYM, 3.0 on Washington

G-Fafif May 22 2018 04:29 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Since all worked out in the end, quite hilarious how "New York Groove" blared with the final out, then stopped for the review, then resumed when the call was confirmed. I suppose all teams look good when they're winning, but geez the Mets look so much better at the moment than they did not too long ago, which was when they looked a whole lot worse than they had when they looked great. One-hundred sixty-two games of this. It's as if a team is going to have multiple ups and downs before you can figure them out.

Nymr83 May 22 2018 04:56 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

There ia no reason not to challenge there, even if he was out by 10 feet you take the 1 in a million chance that some dumb video review guy th8nks the foot could have been off the bag. Ive seen worse with NFL replays.

Edgy MD May 22 2018 10:29 AM Re: IGT 05/21 - Marlins at Mets - Weekday .500 [4]

Well, I imagine if he was out by 10 feet, you don't want to look small. Mattingly has to work with that ump crew and video review crew tomorrow, and presumably through the year. But your point is otherwise taken.
