IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

G-Fafif May 23 2018 04:30 PM

We count on Jake to take us to the airport in style and lead us to the first win of the Jose Bautista Era. His mound opponent will be Dan Straily.

Centerfield May 23 2018 05:46 PM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

We win this one in a laugher. 14-0.

G-Fafif May 23 2018 07:23 PM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Nimmo LF Cabrera 2B Conforto CF Bruce RF Mesoraco C Gonzalez 1B Guillorme 3B deGrom P Rosario SS

Edgy MD May 23 2018 07:27 PM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

I get the notion that, if Conforto can get some consistent traction, we might have a lineup start to develop around him. Mick seems to be living by the same hope.

G-Fafif May 23 2018 07:35 PM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

In games in which Conforto and Rosario record at least two hits apiece this year, the Mets are 1-0. In game in which Conforto and Rosairo record at least one hit apiece AND one of them records at least two hits, the Mets are 3-0. Bottom line: Conforto and Rosario haven't hit much in the same game this year.

Kerwin Dantley (behind the plate tonight) being a crew chief can't do wonders for Angel Hernandez's lawsuit claim that he's only being kept from being a crew chief due to racism.

Lefty Specialist May 23 2018 11:45 PM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

So, I'm thinking that 14 runs is not in the cards tonight.

Edgy MD May 24 2018 12:00 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Dang, Straily looks hittable. Nimmo did everything right, but nobiddy's plated him.

Centerfield May 24 2018 12:01 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Yeah. You might be right.

Edgy MD May 24 2018 12:03 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

And good for you, Bour.

Fman99 May 24 2018 12:11 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Lolligagging to first base by Bruce costs him a 2B. #sad

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 12:13 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Castro and the shift robbed Mesoraco of a hit on that shot up the middle.

I love Jacob deGrom and his balls of steel.

Edgy MD May 24 2018 12:33 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

I want to sign him to an extension between pitches.

Lefty Specialist May 24 2018 12:40 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Zimmoboom! Only 13 runs to go!

Centerfield May 24 2018 12:40 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

I heart Nimmo.

Edgy MD May 24 2018 12:51 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Yeah, he's good.

Edgy MD May 24 2018 01:08 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Damn, he's the best.

Edgy MD May 24 2018 01:23 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

I like how Nimmo seems to be catching the last out every inning.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:23 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

We should give Ramos the night off. Please. He's worked hard.

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:23 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Another great outing by Jacob DeGrom. Even though he was struggling a little with his location, he was able to throw quality pitches to get the key outs when he needed to. With this outing, DeGrom is now the NL leader in ERA.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:26 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Zimmo on fire!

Edgy MD May 24 2018 01:26 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

And he smashes it the other way against the lefty.

Lefty Specialist May 24 2018 01:34 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Um, not comfortable with Familia in a 1-0 game. Maybe it's just me.

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:34 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Strap yourself in. We're heading to the top of the 9th with a 1-0 lead and Familia on to try to close it out.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:36 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

One!!!

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:38 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Nice play by Gonzalez. Familia failed to cover 1st, which forced Gonzalez to hustle in order to beat Brinson to first.

Fman99 May 24 2018 01:40 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

I have nervous now. I'm also having issues casting to my TV (I don't get WPIX) which means I am streaming it on my laptop, over there -------> and reading the CPF over here <------------.

Fman99 May 24 2018 01:41 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Christ. Ball is dead center of the plate that he hit.

Lefty Specialist May 24 2018 01:42 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Well, fumft. 2nd & 3rd with 1 out.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:42 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Crap.

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:43 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Not looking god as Dietrich doubles to right. Marlins at second and third with one out. Realmuto at the dish for the Marlins

41Forever May 24 2018 01:44 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

DeGrom screwed again.

Lefty Specialist May 24 2018 01:44 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

I'd really like to see Gsellman take a shot at closing. Familia annoys me.

Edgy MD May 24 2018 01:45 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

I'm wondering if Lagares would have been playing shallow enough to get to that ball.

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:45 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Luckily, Dietrich had to delay his break from second, but a great throw from Conforto to gun down the potential go ahead run.

Fman99 May 24 2018 01:45 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

He's missing the target. The last two hits were both on balls that were way up from where Mess-o-Rock-o was set up.

Fman99 May 24 2018 01:47 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Fucking hell.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:47 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Awful.

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:48 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Yeah, Familia appears to be throwing, rather than pitching. Now Familia gives up yet another hit to lose the lead.

Lefty Specialist May 24 2018 01:49 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

This is a travesty. Fammy deservedly booed.

Centerfield May 24 2018 01:51 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

So the question is, if all of these guys have great numbers against Familia, why is he in?

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:51 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Familia gives up 4 consecutive hits. If the defense hadn't helped bail him out, it would have been even worse.

Centerfield May 24 2018 01:52 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

This thread title is misleading. Tonight is pretty brutal.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:54 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Gonzalez has been better than I expected.

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:55 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Reyes coming in to run for Gonzalez after the single up the middle. About the only use for Reyes at this point.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:57 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Wilmer has walk-off magic. Make it happen!

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 01:58 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

It's up to Wilmer with 2 outs and Reyes on second. Tough assignment for Wilmer.

41Forever May 24 2018 01:58 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

But not tonight.

Fman99 May 24 2018 01:58 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Hell. That sucked.

bmfc1 May 24 2018 01:59 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

In almost an instant, the narrative changes from Mets winning 5 of 6 to losers of 2 of 3 against the horrible Marlins. Pathetic.

Rockin' Doc May 24 2018 02:00 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Wow, DeGrom should sue Familia for lack of support.

Lefty Specialist May 24 2018 02:00 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Ugh. I hope deGrom keys Familia's car in the parking lot tonight.

HahnSolo May 24 2018 02:03 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Not that blown saves are a tell-all stat, but four blown saves before the end of May is awfully concerning for Familia.

Centerfield May 24 2018 02:06 AM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Let’s not let the offense off the hook. 1 run against these Marlins is inexcusable.

Centerfield May 24 2018 07:05 PM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

It reminded me of the Braves series the first week of May. I went to the first game, and no sooner had a sat down, then the Braves took a 3-0 lead. It's early, I said, and there is plenty of time to get those back. The Mets not only failed to score, three runs that game, they failed to register three for the entire series. Combined score that series, Braves 21, Mets 2.

Benjamin Grimm May 24 2018 07:19 PM Re: IGT 5/23/2018: MIA@NYM -- Before the Brutality

Given how the season started, I really thought I'd be able to get to a Mets game this year before I became disillusioned. I probably should have gone in April. 2017 was the first year since 2003 that I didn't attend at least one Mets game. Hopefully I'll be able to motivate myself to get there at least once this year. If I lived in New York I'd certainly go, but since Citi Field is about three hours away it takes a bit more effort.
